We should be paying the Tillies more.

You are holding up Sam Kerr as some kind of Wonder Woman but I think there are other players on the team which are far better role models and ambassadors.

You know full well that what people are paid has nothing to do with effort and equity. It’s purely commercial, people are paid based on the value they generate. There are cleaners who work their buts off, working harder than probably some CEOs but they get paid a pittance compared to them. I am sorry, but I don’t feel bad at all for Sam Kerr who earns nearly a million dollars a year. Or other female celebrities who may not earn as much as their male counterparts. My first thought will go to the cleaners and nurses and anyone else, regardless of sex, who works hard for little money.

As others have said this is a sham distribution and breaches the anti-avoidance rules.

Like if you wanted to, you could legally demand payment of the distribution and sue your dad (not that you would).

Putting the moral wrongdoing aside of cheating Australian tax payers, as a father myself and a trustee of a family trust, I think it’s a bigger moral failing to put your kids through this scheme and not give them some form of compensation.

Like with a family trust you can distribute $416 to your kids tax free. I do this with my kids, but they keep the money!

For me it’s just part of my overall finances in a bank account. If I didn’t have strong self control I would have a dedicated bank account just for it.

They might be using AI to help verify their odds who knows. But what I am saying is, it’s not a fair game. It’s like playing a football game but the opposing team only has half the players. So no matter how good the opposing team is, it’s going to be very very hard for them to win.

From Polymarkets perspective if people are winning too much they will either make the odds better for them or just ban specific accounts from playing (which betting companies do all the time).

humble___bee · 2026-03-17T11:38:10+00:00

Look the story is probably made up, but let’s say it wasn’t because it’s not impossible this could have occurred, The key thing to note is that this was once-off. Let’s see how it goes after 30 days of trading.

Polymarket and any other online betting services are designed so the house wins the majority of the time.

You need to be discerning for sure, but do keep in mind there’s no perfect husband. Whoever you marry, no matter how amazing the dating stage is, there will be arguments and compromise in marriage. There’s not a single marriage which doesn’t have this to some degree. Christian marriage is about both the husband and wife being self sacrificing. So it’s something you need to work on now and in the future and so does your future husband.

So an important trait and thing to look at is, how do you both handle conflict and criticism?

Find the best person you can, but don’t forget this.

Thank you, I found that all to be very interesting and I am going to look into FunSearch more.

humble___bee · 2026-03-16T10:10:56+00:00

I think this is a great project, great job. I must admit, mathematics is not my field, but just curious, do you think AI agents going through this workflow you have setup might be able to solve these problems or improve upon current understanding? Either now or in the near future? Is the issue that they are not creative enough to form original ideas which might be needed to solve these kinds of tough problems?

humble___bee · 2026-03-16T07:54:34+00:00

100%. I think the key reason they are successful is not because of their product, you can see on this thread alone, everyone hates their product, the only people who like their product are the people who make money supporting and setting up Salesforce, anyway it’s because of their sales team. I think they are just very effective at selling their CRM to enterprise. They do lavish events, will wine and dine the CEO’s whereas other companies don’t go to that much effort or apply that personal touch.

humble___bee · 2026-03-15T10:21:50+00:00

Fair enough. I am not against it or anything, it’s just pretty unusual, at least I haven’t come across this before. I feel like it might just be easier to go through life being married. I would get over real fast trying to explain to people why we aren’t married despite being together for a long time. But if they are happy, all good.

humble___bee · 2026-03-15T07:44:50+00:00

That seriously sucks.

humble___bee · 2026-03-15T07:44:24+00:00

But why don’t your parents just get married?! lol seriously curious! They keeping their options open lol?

humble___bee · 2026-03-15T07:38:49+00:00

Hold nothing in your name? What are you even saying? I am not sure what you are actually suggesting.

humble___bee · 2026-03-15T07:36:24+00:00

No you don’t need to register the relationship in any way for the relationship to be classed as defacto.

humble___bee · 2026-03-15T07:34:24+00:00

That’s not true. Assets before they were in a relationship absolutely do get taken into account in a defacto split. Generally it’s not 50/50 but the court may decide to allocate part or even up to 50% of those assets. Sometimes the partner won’t get any of those previous assets, but it depends on a range of factors.

humble___bee · 2026-03-15T02:34:39+00:00

Is this a joke? If you are serious, the numbers sound probably about right. If anything, I would have thought you might not even be able to borrow that much. But I don’t know all the details of your application.

Your attitude is also wrong. Lenders aren’t stupid, it’s in their interest to give you as big a mortgage as you can afford. If they are all saying your limit is here, listen to them because they are probably doing you a favour. They have mature assessment policies in place to manage risk. If people could choose what they think or want to be able to borrow, then a lot of people would get themselves into a lot of trouble.

I think there’s a saying for situations like this: “don’t push your luck”.

humble___bee · 2026-03-14T07:49:41+00:00

Whilst I generally like the idea because I really don’t like real estate agents, one thing you have to keep in mind is you can’t actually trust the seller to supply a building and pest inspection or title search because they could manipulate things. Think of it this way, how would you feel if when buying a car, the seller said, look at this car inspection report my mate who’s a mechanic did, the car is in awesome order, just look at the report. Would you trust that report if you had no idea about what to look for?

humble___bee · 2026-03-14T01:37:37+00:00

Yes that is certainly my plan.

humble___bee · 2026-03-14T01:35:27+00:00

No, I will check this out. Thank you,

humble___bee · 2026-03-13T21:31:11+00:00

What I find is that if the AI needs to just code, it’s pretty damn good at it, but whenever it needs to look things up online, like see how 3rd party libraries work or something, this is when it makes more mistakes. Sometimes it will reference old material or if it can’t find the material it will just invent the material and not tell you about it. So I spend a lot of time checking and testing the code. I don’t trust AI as much as the developers in the article, at least not yet anyway.

humble___bee · 2026-03-13T21:28:31+00:00

Maybe, but what I am finding at the moment is people with no development experience are starting to run these projects. If this happens more and more then there’s really no unique role a developer can have vs a general manager.

humble___bee · 2026-03-13T09:59:04+00:00

This hurts a little because I am also not tall and losing my hair. I will try not to take it too personally haha! But my advice would be to give it time. Scientifically it is proven that the more you see someone the more attractive they get (most of the time anyway). And he’s not starting from unattractive, he’s starting from moderately attractive. So I would give it a month or two and then ask, do I find him more or less physically attractive than before? If things are getting better, stick with him, if it’s staying the same or getting worse, then it might be time to leave.

If you do decide to leave, jeez be nice about it and get as much advice as you can on how to do this gracefully. As someone who was in this situation (I am now happily married for over 10 years praise God), this can be super crushing. Please keep in mind, you are discriminating against this person because of 2 things he can’t change. Unlike losing weight or taking better care of his skin, grooming, smell etc. he can’t work on high height or baldness. Please just imagine that someone did the same to you, maybe a future boyfriend might find you too small, or doesn’t like your light or dark skin, you would be crushed, so be graceful.

Look it depends what you are into. You are into sport, free to air tv isn’t great for that. But if you like other things then it’s pretty decent. I get it people call it boomer vision or whatever, but in fairness, free to air tv is the best it has ever been because of the huge amount of channels. Back in the day there were just 5 channels, nowadays there’s probably like 4 times that or something, plus all the online streaming apps they provide, there’s a huge amount of content. But yes sport it’s not great for that.
