my favourite method is googling the headline

Afaik, a condition for getting indexed as a news source by google is that you can't restrict access to the article via google news.

There is a lot of labour that simply isn't being performed because the economic incentives aren't there. Disability support is an obvious example. Understaffed facilities, people living in deprivation. We could build economic structures to fix this. Perhaps UBI could be a part of those structures but it isn't a panacea.

Instead of paying social workers check off newstart obligations, what if we paid them to actually help people?

I live one suburb over and there has been lines out the door for months. It's unbelievable.

They're charging almost as much as the other Mexican chains for food that barely looks better than the last time they tried (which was blander than 90's food court Mexican). Remember when Krispy Kreme seemed like it was a big thing?

Wait isn't the bitcoin white paper just the initial proof of concept? Wherein it was more "this is a kinda neat thing that could be done if we work it out further" as opposed to the "if we work it ou- oh okay never mind, terabyte blockchain files ahoy" that's happening?

It's like a 10 page pamphlet mostly discussing implementation challenges. I wouldn't describe it as 'elegant' because it barely covers anything.

Richard Flanagan’s Press Club address has not been reposted enough, holy poo poo. Should be mandatory reading for all ‘Australians’

Australia doesn't have any charismatic politicians. Checkmate Flanagan.
