The secret history of sharks
The megalodon was one of the most fearsome predators which ever existed, so what made them die out 3.5 million years ago? #Sharks
Drama? No drama
While Australian parents often want their children to focus on maths and science, taking drama at high school could be the best move for your child and their future. #Education
Anybody know how you add build args to a docker compose run configuration in Pycharm?
I'm having another go at running things in pycharm instead of from our bash script and it needs build args 😬

I just installed #Ubuntu 24 on a ~13yr old MacBook Air (A1369) ... and it works fine. I had no install issues. I created a bootable USB stick ... click click, and installed. No drama and things seem to work fine generally (wifi, touchpad, etc.)
Battery life isn't great and it seems to use a lot of battery in "standby" mode -- not sure what's up with that.
I'll just shut it down when not in use.
I had intended to donate/recycle it as Mac OSX on the laptop was terribly SLOW.

China overhauls the USA in technology research
China has overtaken the United States as the overwhelming leader in technological research over the last two decades, according to ASPI’s Critical Technology Tracker. #Technology
Wow, even Crimethinc couldn't see in 2016 that Clinton had no chance of winning;
"Clinton looks unstoppable now, but that will change once Trump is out of the picture. Who knows what other scandals have yet to break? The next wave of right-wing momentum is bound to look rational and well mannered by comparison with Donald Trump; while he has brought opprobrium on himself, his strong personality has offered cover for others who share his agenda."

But I wasn't just talking about Hilary. Your post describes both the Clintons, equally well.
Bill's tenure as President dismantled as many checks and balances on corporate power as Reagan's. His campaign was supported by the corporatist right, the ones who were following the plan laid out in the Powell Memo. Because his Republican opponent John McCain was a champion of campaign finance reform;
(4/?)
I vaguely remember dismissing McCain as an old white guy and Republican nominee, and therefore the devil incarnate. I definitely stuck up for Clinton during the impeachment hearings, which in hindsight is utterly shameful.
In my defence, I was a politically naive teenager then. But what shocks and deeply embarrasses me is that the penny only dropped a few days ago. When that Master Plan podcast taught me the truth about McCain, and his crusade to get corporate money out of politics.
Tech bros and media barons
Is the world better off with “tech bros” like Elon Musk who demand unlimited freedom to brazenly assert their influence, or old-style media moguls who spin fine-sounding rhetoric about freedom of the press but exert influence under the cover of journalism? #Media
What the experts say on…social media restrictions
The Australian government has committed itself to imposing an age limit on social media before the next election, but is this a desirable or workable solution? #SocialMedia
The holy creed of Carbonus Rex
65 million years ago, a natural act wiped out the dinosaurs, but today it’s the dinosaurs of the fossil fuel industry who imperil life on Earth. #climatechange
The high price of loyalty
Customers were once rewarded for loyalty to a firm’s products and services, but more unscrupulous operators now offer discounts to new consumers at the expense of long-standing ones. #Business
Great ‘techspectations’
Though Australians like to embrace new technologies, concerns over security, privacy, and the loss of human interaction remain. #Austech
