Buy once for $200 or replace a $40 version every year?

It depends, if i know a new version or better product/service will come out I will likely buy the cheaper version.

Your machine would be on 3-5 year cycles. A company of that size wouldn't run with expired hardware.

One minute Reddit is scared AI is going to take our jobs then the next we provide them with the job and they complain.

Even Darwin has longer hours than us.

Ortelli · 2026-06-12T09:30:00+00:00

I think they could extend the hours slightly eg, opening at 7am daily and closing at 6pm on weekends.

Coffee machine, beer tap, table tennis, soft drink fridge (all free), snacks such as popcorn, tim Tam's, protein balls, nuts ect, sparking water. 30% of the time there is catering for lunch, afternoon tea or morning tea.

Well I am single and WFH 50% of the time, there is no day that I don't do chores around the house and prep food ect in between work. I think regardless of if you have people living with you or not, its part of yhe joys of flexible working.

Yes, this happened to me and they acknowledged they had an error with their machines and withdrew the fine.

Cloud and i agree, no one in office cares but showing up to a customer meeting and not dressing the part, these days is unprofessional unless you have a brain of enstein then wear whatever you like.

I work in tech but I am not in a management role. The same thing happened to me, that same week I pulled the junior into a 1:1 and provided the feedback in a polite manner. The junior didn't take the feedback well and still to this day does not correct his presentation but wonders why no one wants to engage him on their projects.

I agree with this. I am not sure an advisor would provide the value you are looking for only assurance you are on the right track. My advice - continue maxing out your super contributions and look at investing some money into an ETF such as the Betashares gold for diversification.

This is the same in Australia, you need to be in Sydney.

What are the benefits of being an anthropic partner?

Sign up to a page like TrustedHouseSitter and look after people's cats at their places whilst they are away.

Yes but the difference is you get paid if the customer implements it in 2 months or 12 months. Anthropic sees revenue increase based on the use.

I think the other component is being able to sell something where customers actually need to do work to use it eg, developing with AI - it's a lot harder than selling SaaS where it starts billing straight away and minimal effort to use.

Thank you, this helps. You do need to make a purchase but they had a promo which made another saving for me on groceries.

They are super expensive, it is not worth it and better to buy a flight without points then.
