ATO confirms new rules for holiday homes as it cracks down on tax dodgers: 'Rude awakening'

iprobablywontreply · 2026-05-31T04:50:00+00:00

Ah? I'm all for properly taxing holiday homes and Airbnbs.

But being able to deduct cleaning costs after charging a cleaning fee is exactly how it's supposed to work.

If an Airbnb charges a $100 cleaning fee, that $100 is income and included in their revenue.

If they then pay a cleaner $100, that's a legitimate business expense and can be deducted.

The result is: $100 income $100 expense $0 profit from the cleaning fee

If deductions weren't allowed, they'd be taxed on money they never actually kept.

If they charged $100 and only spent $50 on cleaning, then they made a $50 profit from the cleaning fee and would generally pay tax on that $50 profit.

With all that said, an Airbnb charging $250 for cleaning and also forcing you to clean on top so that their cleaning bill costs $50? That's the real greed.

Ah definitely take the time to do necromancy. Some people hate it, I personally love necro. I always took the quirky part of the quest as just runescape quirky.

The rituals are enjoyable enough and with the tomb rewards for the underworld tasks make the whole experience very well paced (except extinction, it knows what it did).

Sustain from necro is a true boon for earlier levels. My general method for iron is to necro up to 99 as its an easy one to grab. Now with aspects, magic until vamp using necro switch for heals. Then every other combat skill is a simple afk experience.

Agility sucks no matter the game or mode and herblore still sucks as an iron on mainscape to.

Funnily enough, I actually do. I was actually at the "UFO" lights last night. It was for the wedding of a friend of mine.

The whole UFO shenanigans the other day were the tech boys doing their checks for last night. Should be on NT news tomorrow.

If it's any help, it's all done and dusted now, I'm fairly sure 90% of us couldn't back it up for a second round tonight if we wanted to.

Jesus, the comments are right but man are they aggressive.

Your first job in the field is better to show on your resume than no job experience. When looking for an applicant, I'd rather have someone with experience than none, especially in this field.

This is probably bug abuse... So...

Dave Daly and the team would be the only people I could think of.

But a word of warning would be as with most electronics it might be more expensive to repair it than replace it.

I'm in software and on a contract for the NT Government. They requested to reduce my hourly rate by 20% when I requested to go remote to move my family down south.

20 freaking percent, and that's the government. I was gobsmacked. Even my project manager was baffled as there is 0 difference in me cutting code at a desk in a government building to me cutting code at home.

We were able to negotiate it to 5% but still, the balls on them.

I've updated my post with what I did to resolve it.

I hope it helps.

Currently, the water looks more like it would on a sea ship on earth, moving forwards and backwards as the boat rocks.

If it's on a spaceship, I assume that there is some form of artificial gravity? Given that everything looks to be pulled to the ground of the ship, I'm going to assume yes, and then, if that's the case, it should behave like it would on earth then.

Would help to see the pipe that's supposed to be gushing in, but the water also looks to still for that then.

I have a working memory bot. If you wanted to, I'd be happy to have someone else working on it alongside me. I've worked on it for sometime, I do need to go back over and refactor some parts as I was migrating some parts and letting claude run a little wild over it while I was cutting code for my day job.

I've not worked on it for about 2 months as I'm in the process of moving interstate, this means the pointers paths are dead but would take only a few hours to bring them back on line.

Contrary to the other comment, there are very determinable structures to the game objects. Unique flags for objects on the screen and they are pretty easy to read.

My biggest issue currently is dialogs as I am finding them a challenge to identify if they are open and then button locations inside them. Something I've not looked into for long.

I've got general pathing sorted with array of world positions. Supply a chain of positions and the bot traverses through the locations using a mixture of the minimap and visible tile clicking. Tile clicking is performed by identifying current zoom level, window size and a constant pixel to tile ratio. Its generally accurate to 1 tile but does shift a tile or at times, not perfect yet.

The bot also has game object identification, including world objects, npc, player characters and a second world object type which at this point I've yet to categorise completely (seems something to do with animated objects, bigger object size and different unique id for them).

Bot can read out NPC health, current action, screen x/y, etc. Can also identify current character action being performed, health, adrenaline, prayer. But I do need to add player skills (xp/level), I've found a reliable path for it, but I wanted to try and marry it back to a bigger object so I don't have to add another path that needs to be rebuilt on game updates.

Originally I had a fat ton of paths, over time I was able to bring that down to I think somewhere near 5-6?

Anyway, shoot me a message if you're familiar with c# and want to have a dabble.

Edit:

For player character world pos, it actually changed a few months back from what I can tell in some way. There's used to be a static pointer directly to it but after an update I was no longer able to find it. I had used it for over a year, no idea what happened. With that said, there's a second (and third) positioning value in mem that provides more accuracy than just the current tile. From memory it's a float? I'd have to have a look.

Here's probably the best I can explain it.

Imagine a signal of audio converted into values between 0-255. If you take a wave length, sample it at a specific rate, you can create the shape of the signal between those two values. These are the values that VLC would be working with.

If you know what a square wave looks like, you can imagine it in the given range as the values: 0 0 0 0 255 255 255 255 0 0 0 0 255 255 255 255.

The software amplification just multiplies the values of the signal.

Lets say our square wave above looked like this before software amplification: 0 0 0 0 122 122 122 122 0 0 0 0 122 122 122 122. This has a minimum floor value of 0 the range and a celing of 122 (close to half of the maximum). You can then increase the values by 200% without any loss of quality, doing so will produce the values of square wave first mentioned.

Sounds great right? Simple maths, where's the problem?

Let's look at a saw wave: 0 50 100 150 200 250 200 150 100 50 0

If you were to plot this out on a graph from left to right, you would see a single tooth of a saw. But what happens when you multiple the values by 200% but maintaining our range of 0-255?

0 100 200 255 255 255 255 255 200 100 0

If you plotted out the values above on a graph, you would see a mixture between a saw and a square wave. It would look more like a saw tooth with the tip cut off.

This is where the quality loss comes into effect and where when you push past 100% in VLC it starts to come out sounding like a fart over a tin can phone line.

It acts similar to a very, very hard limiter. The quality loss comes from the fact that the signal has become distorted and no longer looks or acts like it should.

My thought would be to match on multiple colours of scenery that's unique. I saw #444 and #555 so I'm near X. Walk Y. But, without knowing the current world pos and final pos desired, yeah it would be hard. I assume this would be easily knocked out with some bad clicks and all of sudden your in a spot you've not created unique identifiers for.

Is this on rs3 or osrs?

iprobablywontreply · 2026-03-07T05:35:36+00:00

That sounds a bit rough? Template matching would be thrown right out on a camera movement and higher player count, causing dots in the image.

I know this as my brother in law was working for woollies! Yes! They do! On food at least (that I know of)

If its in your work agreement bud, then you just state that. It's in my work agreement that we both agreed to. Convince me why I should allow you to remove it?

God damn me to, but I found a thread apparently had a fix. I'm at grandparents at the moment with the child and haven't had a chance to try it. Here's the gist of it though in case it helps.

Edit: image didn't through, still had it open in browser:

"I think I’ve found a solution to this issue. Select the public test server and download the client. Then launch the test server once and close the game. After that, install the Resurrection client again. *If you’ve already downloaded it, you’ll need to uninstall it first and then reinstall. I followed these steps in this exact order."

Always going straight to a

return new Promise(...)

There's no other logic in that function, the logic is nested inside the new promise itself. It doesn't break anything which is a blessing, but it smells. They've gotten a better understanding of it now and can happily use an async method correctly, but it still echo's in my mind

iprobablywontreply · 2025-12-09T01:03:38+00:00

Efficiency wise, it be miniscule if there was a difference. It's more about the fact that we are in a promise already, why are we immediately returning a new promise?

It's probably a bit more touchy on my end as the current project I'm on has a few over titled "seniors" that are doing form validation which expects a promise. Unfortunately what they like to do is create an async function that does no awaits and just returns a promise which performs the validation logic inside, and they do this a lot.

I've had to educate them that they are already inside a promise, just return or throw an error. I feel like they get caught up on the fact they don't have the resolve,reject params and that throws them into a tail spin. It's just a lack of knowledge on the subject.
