My dad was a plumber who was quietly appalled that I was becoming a philosopher. During his career he fell off at least four roofs. To date I have not fallen off a single roof in a professional (or any other) context so I think I made the right call.

Whatever the facts, the politics here is prelude to a future right wing government giving liability waivers along the lines of New Zealand and the US. The short term effect is to keep operations going. The long term result is to stop an Australian company being sued for causing climate harms.

"Today’s decision by the High Court in relation to MACH Energy’s Mount Pleasant project is a further blow to Australia’s prospects of meeting continued demand for our high-quality coal from global customers.

Developing a coal mine in Australia is already difficult enough because of long approval times, lawfare by activists and high royalties and other taxes.

The Mount Pleasant Optimisation Project was approved four years ago after a rigorous assessment process that spanned several years, representing around $2 billion in inbound investment in the Australian resources sector by investors in Indonesia and Japan, two vital trading partners for Australia.

Since that approval, the Project has been subject to numerous legal appeals, forcing the proponent to seek clarity from the highest court in the land."

"Since that approval, the Project has been subject to numerous legal appeals, forcing the proponent to seek clarity from the highest court in the land.

This decision sends a very negative signal to Australia’s trade and investment partners about sovereign risk in this market.

Australian resource companies should not be forced into a situation where well-funded legal attacks over a number of years require a High Court appeal.

These legal challenges seek to game the legal system by creating uncertainty and delay without ever having to pay costs.

Other investors in Australia’s resource sector will carefully review the outcome from today’s High Court judgement and the potential ramifications for other projects."

At pre-COP in Fiji, leaders are making statements after returning from a visit to Tuvalu. There, Pacific leaders repeatedly called for leaders phaseout of fossil fuels and a defence of language to that effect. President Surangel Samuel Whipps Jr is speaking now and is reiterating this call, again.

Whenever Lord Archer would visit these shores on one of his many book tours, he would insist when visiting a television network that he have a separate green room from the other guests of whatever show he was on, and that the room be supplied with one freshly peeled Mars bar.

I'm a left-of-Labor voter, which has often meant voting 1 for the Greens. You'd be right surmising my politics are pretty anti-war too. But failing to aid Ukraine's defence against invasion is loathsome and the purported principle invoked is one that does not meet the moment

This is the dodgiest and most-desperate thing I’ve seen in the bubble so far. Amazon selling their chips to a group of investors and leasing them back - an off balance sheet arrangement done in plain sight. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. And they’ll probably buy more!

Amazon is seeking to offload about $8bn of advanced Nvidia chips to external investors through a new vehicle aimed at strengthening its balance sheet, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Seattle-based cloud giant has held talks with investors in recent weeks to gauge interest in the deal, which would allow the company to spin off thousands of Grace Blackwell chips it is deploying in data centres across the US into a special-purpose vehicle.
Amazon will then lease the advanced AI chips back from the SPV, which would tap outside investors through debt issuance. By unloading the expensive semiconductors to investors, the company could adopt a more asset-light approach to its balance sheet.

The greatest secret in finance is that nobody knows what they’re investing in and another is that a lot of the “very smart people” with “lots of data” base their powerful “financial models” based on extremely simplistic scenarios, many of them as obvious as “growth continues as it always has”

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.
