✅Science ✅Tertiary Education ✅Commercialisation ✅Fellowships ✅✅ Innovation What is this?!?!? All these things… in one policy announcement?! 😱 It’s almost like someone has actually figured out that these things are connected… 💚

The Green Party's economic development plan includes:
• Innovation Boost: Rescope Investment
Boost to focus on incentivising productive investment that aligns with industry policy objectives, decarbonisation, and decent work principles.
• Mission Fellowships: Support stable public science and workforce
capability by establishing industry policy objectives-linked fellowships for early- and mid-career researchers and technical specialists.
• Idea to Export Pathway: Create a coordinated funding and commercialisation pathway that helps New Zealand innovators move from business experimentation and research through to validation, commercialisation, and scaling.
• Science Rebuild: Restore core science operating funding lost through the Coalition Government's Budget cuts to work towards the goal of aligning our R&D spend to 3% of GDP.
• Back Kiwi-Made: Use public purchasing power to support good New Zealand solutions.
• Tertiary Innovation Boost: Boost funding for tertiary research, innovation, and capacity (including restoring funding for initiatives like the centres of vocational excellence).

I never understood the hate on broccoli until living in New Zealand. Broccoli is not supposed to be grey...

You might well be a super-taster; have a more sensitive palate, which can explain a dislike for certain foods.

It's fun to think about how you will be able to see the end of the anthropocene as a very fine layer of microplastics, like the iridium between the Cretaceous and the paleogene.

*Puts hand up* I can empathise. I delayed doing probate application paperwork for Fern's estate for 3 months (just couldn't face it) & when I did, had to sign the paperwork in the solicitor's carpark (outdoors & socially distanced with the solicitor close enough to 'witness' my signing). Fun times.

I was fascinated by tge idea of spontaneous human combustion when I was younger. Yes, I was a weird kid. And, yes, the Bermuda Triangle too but that’s arguably less morbid.

The image says “I spent my childhood terrified of quicksand, spontaneous combustion, and the Bermuda Triangle. Turns out I should’ve been worried about my knees”

When Fern died in 2021, probate took months due to the COVID-induced backlog. (Luckily I was in no hurry)

Hooray, a source link. Some context: - Bot traffic from the whole of the Russian Federation is basically unchanged. - The specific AS13238 YANDEX — Yandex LLC source is mostly web scraping search engine indexing. - People's jokes about influence campaign effects are being read as factual statements

All Russian bots. They are still out there.

Sorry, I'll explain. We currently react to inflation by reducing the disposable income of spenders so that demand falls and unemployment goes up. We use a bufferstock of unemployed people to keep workers desperate, so wages are suppressed and we don't get a feedback loop (wage 🔄 prices) [🧵 1/n]

if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

The NZIER report referenced here is worth a read. Sets out clearly how young people are being screwed all ways by Govt economic and social policy. The economy is being throttled, migration settings have loosened, and the Govt are victim blaming. Let young people earn a living ffs. Simple as that

1. This software did nothing 'on its own'. The human who approved its programming and release is responsible. 2. These programs are based on scraped government website instructions and millions of illegally obtained novels without any attempt made to distinguish between fact and fiction.

Back in the 90's there was a common programming joke of doing Enterprise Hello World. Hello World is the first program you write in a language, the simplest. Usually it's like, print "hello world" Enterprise Hello World turns this into thousands of lines of over engineered bullshit. As a joke.

Drug testing has (by design) captured all the attention, but it's nowhere near the worst bit. For more than 30 years, benefit levels have been kept lower than the cost of staying alive. On purpose. Campaigning on the back of cutting them even further is monstrous. The cruelty is the point.
