I was reading all the comments here and wondering how come you don't have at least 4 weeks of paid annual leaves! Then realised that many of the comments are from Americans. I'd have thought Atlassian being an Aussie company would have to give you at least 4 weeks of annual leave. But being an Aussie company can't change the mindset of the managers in another country!
That's not a good argument or a fair comparison, mate! One is a highly infectious disease that is spreading through contact and via air and the other is history! Covid has killed more than a million people and is continuing to do so as it mutates to get deadlier and deadlier. Please don't tell me that it's a lie and a conspiracy theory as I've lost family members to this engineered microscopic monstrosity!
Totally agree with you on this one. Nobody really wants the govt to abuse their power to implement such measures. However, those few bastards are the reason why we all are having to suffer! If we all could agree and limit our movements until the vaccines targets are met, the death and hospitalisation rates should drop, statistically speaking! Violations like this are quite rampant in some suburbs/communities! One of my mates was at a takeaway food place in Craigieburn and an entire family of 5 with no masks had gathered behind him and were almost within a few centimetres. The guy got quite aggro when confronted by my mate! This is just getting mental!
I think people like these deserve to be locked up! Either that or put a tracker on these people. I'm not saying that about all Covid positive people but just some of these extremely selfish pricks.
This might be an unpopular opinion! But there are some really bad people out there. The situation is getting out of hand here in Melbourne and there are people like this family who're Covid positive and still out and about in the community. We should blame selfish people like these for such measures from the government.
Thanks for the descriptive answer mate. I honestly don't know much about it. But I've read about the LISP family and ML family of languages. There are too many to choose from. I've decided to learn F# and have been going through some tutorials. I'm enjoying it quite a lot. ATS sounds like a good combo of abstraction meets bare metal.
This is great. Don't know if it supports 4g. If it's only on 2g/3g, it's lifespan isn't going to be that long. Down here in Australia 3g networks will be decommissioned by 2024. We don't have 2g networks anymore. I wish they released one of their QWERTY slider phones. Those were great little devices.
Because Google and Apple are providing a service to host developer's applications and charging a fee for it. The fee is quite high but they're charging it for the service. Nobody is dying because of their actions.
If the states decided to sue pharmaceutical companies for extravagant profits on life saving medicines, people would benefit a lot more. May be there a political motive behind Google being targeted.
I'm doing my Micromasters in Statistics from MIT on EDX. Enjoying the amazing content and recognition of certificate. I'm not sure what this means for enrolled students like me. Is anyone else doing MicroMaster or similar course from a university and worried what this means?
"MIT faculty may choose to continue to offer their courses through the new edX after the transaction is completed, or move them to MITx Online."
Yeah, you're probably correct. I think a lot of people are very liberal about their downvoting privilege! I'm happy for someone to not agree with me but I don't like being flagged or downvoted just because someone doesn't like my opinion. I think downvotes should be for comments that are racist or abusive in nature. A little bit of sarcasm should be okay!
That's the problem. Compared to weed these are highly addictive and cause a lot of harm to the users. Oxy is easily prescribed by doctors whereas there is a taboo against cannabis. It should be the opposite.
While I agree with you partially, this is a slippery slope. Sugar and processed food are really bad for you too. Should we start banning or restricting access to those too?
This should be the way everywhere. There is no reason for weed to be illegal when tobacco is legal. I don't smoke either but I support legalisation or at the very least decriminalisation. At least that way the countries can get tax money and also help people who need counselling instead of charging them with unnecessary crimes. They did this in the Australian Capital Territory. Hopefully they'll legalise it in most states.
I shudder at the prospect of going back to using a PC! I've been using a Mac from work. My wife and I are both pissed off at Microsoft for doing this to our home PC. I built that PC for her to do some Photoshop work. So I can't really get rid of Windows. If she switches to a Mac, I will happily forget about the money wasted on that Windows license and format that hard drive and put a Linux on it immediately.
Wow. This is amazing! I'm not holding by breath for Mac OS support as Apple isn't very fond of Nvidia. I'm sure there will be clones in future for MacOs/IOS, Linux and Android.
If you'd asked me 10 years ago I probably would have said something disrespectful. I didn't know enough about trans-rights or lgbt rights. But over the years I've realised that they probably face a lot of injustice and indeed are marginalised in some societies. I've been working for a company that cares deeply about diversity and inclusion, which has helped me learn a lot. But, I still don't think it's fair for women that an individual who lived the prime of their life as a man, benefitting from all the testosterone and muscle mass and then identifying as a woman to beat other women. I think there should be a line. Of course there should be no discrimination against anyone for their race/gender/beliefs etc. But there is a reason why weight categories and gender exist in boxing and martial arts. It's just absurd that we've to even discuss this.
This is a very controversial topic. Many have spoken about it at length. I personally believe it's not fair for women in athletics. There are several excellent suggestions/solutions discussed on this thread. I feel like there needs to be another category which would include people who're naturally male/female/others and/or identify as something/someone else. And keep the existing male and female categories as they are.
And of course it goes without saying that I've written this with all due respect to such individuals and I bear no malice towards anyone.
