Looking forward to the post-mortem from the bots. "On reflection, relying on a single data center made our production workloads more vulnerable than we realised."

I was thinking to myself earlier this week that it's better for the economy and the world to have 1,000 people who can afford a Rolls Royce than one person who can afford 1,000 Rolls Royces. It's weird to see a similar message in a political ad as if I manifested it. I agree with this 100%.

“Why don’t you ride in the cycle lane?” This is hardly a one-off from my experience and there are certain sections of cycle path I’ll avoid because of this.

Correction: A previous version of this story referred to a dog attack last June. It actually took place in January.

It would be great if these examples were calculated from the same starting point, certainly the first 2. It would also be great if National’s plan also banned total remuneration packages as it’s basically a given that one of these plans will be implemented.

I’ll try to make it easier. National governments believe the electorate wants less tax, eventually government services degrade to the point where Labour can say “we think the public want better services and would be prepared to pay more taxes to support that” and then, Labour wins.

IIRC in the 00s the Labour Party suggested Ireland as a model for NZ and the National Party suggested Singapore. Yes, we should join the EU and/or reposition ourselves so that we can be a major trading port.

I went to a thing last year and there was someone from Gallagher there who said “oh, no, we do beef, not dairy” for their collars. So there’s some difference I’m not clued up enough to understand.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities
Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Xero should take over the sponsorship for Jayco Alula and reposition it as an ANZ World Tour cycling team. (This probably only makes sense if Xero provided a UI in French, German, Spanish, etc.)

Here’s a crazy idea: if a corporation wants to build a data center, they should also be required to construct renewable resource mechanisms to operate it—not funded by the public, but from the mountains of wealth they already possess.
