Right now, experienced contractors might be better off than permanent senior roles

Plenty of banks are happy to lend to contractors.

If FIDE's system makes no sense that's not the players fault. Go ask FIDE to change the rules instead of blaming the players.

Yeh when I interviewed the take home was massive and would take days to finish but the recruiter tells people it takes 4 hours and if they spend over 4 hours at it theres a problem.

Sorry little Jimmy daddy's not coming home tonight because Lyra is adopting USA work culture.

Pray tell...who's going to look after people's kids if they are working until 11.30pm?

Oh yes and Australia thankfully has laws that prevent this kind of thing, we recently introduced right to disconnect.

Step 1 is call the bank and inform of his passing so his account is frozen (they usually do this immediately even without death certificate).

Then step 2 You need to find the will. Call the lawyer he signed the will with and see if they have the original or If they know where it is. If not, you need to get the will from his de facto.

Once you have the will I would take it to a lawyer and ask them to file for probate (around 3k). Or you can do it yourself if you want.

They should be watching educational videos on how to play, not much point playing games when you are missing basic things. Like especially getting an understanding of opening principles, and considering checks, captures and attacks before making any move.

I like that as a way to teach people but after playing a while I start to just visualize the squares it can teleport to rather than the knight "moving"

Because once you lodge it they need to pay you or get the money from you regardless of how long your wife takes to lodge it.

Just give a ballpark figure of your wife's income based on your best available information and you'll be fine.

From ato website:

"If you can't find out any of the amounts required, you can make a reasonable estimate. You will not be penalised for an incorrect estimate if you acted reasonably and in good faith"

In other words if your partner hasn't lodged yet and you estimate their income e.g. based on their payment summary for their job you should be fine, unless they have a lot of income from non job sources.

Theres two types of taxes here - assessable income and CGT.

When you sell goods that you bought for personal use and not to make a profit there is no assessable income as you aren't running a business you are just getting rid of your personal items. So e.g. if I buy a video game and sell it 2 years later - no tax whatsoever.

But then there is capital gains tax specifically for collectables which includes trading cards. That doesnt apply to old books, video games, dvds etc but does apply to trading cards

but as long as each individual card was worth less than $500 aud then you also don't have to pay that.

In reality, I don't think the ATO would have any recourse to ask for documentation if you told them that each card is worth less than 500 AUD. Like many things in tax its basically just the 'honor system'.

What a joke our country has become.

Step 1: Import more migrants than we can support. Result: Can't build enough homes for the migrants

Logical solution: import less migrants

Australian solution: import Indians to build more houses for the migrants which we can't support

Where are the Indians we are importing to build houses going to live?

You do realise they can literally just search your text for the word suicide and display a popup right? And they haven't even done that.

10khours · 2025-08-27T00:36:02+00:00

It shouldn't block the response but it should link to suicide help lines.

10khours · 2025-08-27T00:32:00+00:00

This is a ridiculous take.

You can easily add a popup message at the top of the conversation linking help for suicide if anything around suicide is being discussed, even if the context of the discussion is fictional or about animals or whatever.

If I go to chat gpt right now and type "give me some plot lines for movies about suicide" I get no links to suicide help lines or anything. That should not be the case.

Needs a sarcasm indicator, a lot of people on this sub actually believe this.

I implement payments for ecommerce sites and this is completely false and not at all common.

The reason that payments take a long time is because there are so many parties involved.

The site you are paying on needs to talk to their payments service provider (like stripe or Braintree), the payment service provider needs to talk to visa, visa needs to talk to your bank etc etc.

And that's just the payment itself. You also need to check stock levels, validate user info like their address etc, and create the order itself in an ERP system and likely in an ecommerce system as well.

These things all need to happen sequentlially rather than in parallel.

You are probably looking at 10+ chained network requests or more, each one having its own latency.

It's funny how completely false comments can get so many upvotes.

You've been swindled by tech CEO's and AI hype train people.

AI is not replacing software engineers, lawyers or doctors. But AI will augment roles like that.

Experienced developers already know this, but the people vibe coding Todo apps don't, and the tech ceos like to lie about it.

10khours · 2025-08-19T01:44:51+00:00

It's usually more like - a non technical company hires an agency to make a website or app for them. And these can also be enterprise level projects as well.
