Australia’s Best Health Insurers
TL;DR List of best health insurers in Australia based on publicly available statistics.

I recently decided to up my health insurance from the bare minimum required by
the government here in Australia. It proved quite difficult to find which insurer
is the best for my state. Now the “best” insurer is a loaded term. It depends
on your needs, your age and so on. But that’s the matter of coverage. I wanted
to know which insurer was the easiest to deal with and actually cared abou … ⌘ Read more

which doesn’t have to be this way! blue tribe & anti-agi risk people have mostly orthogonal concerns (i really don’t see the overlap of algorithmic fairness & agent foundations, tbqhwy), and probably ample opportunities for trade (which blue-triber actually cares about compute governance etc.?) but i think zero-sum anti-trade genre affiliation thinking from blue-tribes side will prevent most of that mutually beneficial governance from happening.

** Chess Rules **
I love when folks say stuff like“there are only a finite number of states a chessboard can occupy, therefore a computer can play chess.”

To the folks who say such things — I wish you to play chess with my 6 year old.

Be not confined by rules! The only things governing chess in this house here are the laws of physics!

…and even then, not all need apply.

For instance, during a recent game the opposing kings left the board in order to go out on an adventure. They returned later with a large, plastic dragon. The dra … ⌘ Read more

You’re right @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com I just watched Australia Post Outrage: Did She Need To Go? and I do believe I’ll start adding this to my “watchlist” – I don’t use Youtube specifically (because privacy eroding garbage); but the content this guy produces is awesome! 👌

Scotty from marketing really needs to be fired! Can we even fire Prime Ministers besides calling an election? 🤔 The more you dig into our #Australian #Government the more you realize just how fucking corrupt they all are and have been over so many years. How?! 🤦‍

@adi@f.adi.onl Oh boy… we don’t want to go down that route. There is plenty to know about the Taliban, not just from the news but from people who lived—and still lives—under their “governance”; all of which is, I am afraid, much more accurate than your highschool girlfriend story telling.

Basically, if the antagonist of your story is actually a person or something person-like, it’s not really cyberpunk, because it’s not about the things cyberpunk is about. If you have an evil government or an evil corporation, it’s not cyberpunk either.
