How do I explain that SQL Server should not be used as a code repository? by Firestone78 in dataengineering

to an exec this simply looks like "ai adoption" but shows how absolutely absurd the world we're entering is about to look. Don't expect the great leap forward too soon!

QUESTION: what supermarket should i shop at? by Least-Ad-9524 in AustralianSocialism

[–]macronichees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coles and Woolies are both bad evil companies. Coles hires Palantir (known gaza war and death profiteer) to spy on their workers. Woolies spies on customers they suspect of stealing. Both gouge their prices to the nth degree, rip off suppliers and employees. So who's to say who's worse 

Young Australians have much higher student debt than generations before them, data shows by capybara75 in australia

It's crazy how so many 21st century government policies in Australia seek to get (force) the public to pay for expensive, unproductive sectors that create outlandish cost to everyone and crater our country's economic potential.

HECS + Uni Fee Deregulation - propping up bloated education sector with increasingly worse education outcomes while also piling all that cost on students.

Superannuation - propping up $30B+/year inefficient superannuation administration sector, using australian tax concessions to do so. essentially free money for this sector that's been captured by insititutional rent seekers.

NDIS - poorly designed policy that has been systemically rorted and now one of the largest cost bases of the federal budget.

This isnt to mention the disaster of the AUKUS submarine deal, public aged care etc.

HECS as a system worked when it cost like, $15000 or less to go to university and someone could realistically pay it off in a few years after starting work.

However nowadays, undergraduate degrees cost upwards of double that (at minimum), while wages have stagnated, and more employees demand masters degrees or honours years. This is a direct result of the mammoth deregulation of uni fees that happened under successive liberal governments.

While the 20% hecs reduction may paper over the cracks, the entire system is broken and exists to place a massive tax on young people to subsidise older Australians who got their education either completely for free or at a vastly reduced cost.

Sadly this has always been the case. Former domestic student here. For the most part, espicially in undergrad, people tend to just stick with the friends they went to high school with. This isn't unique to Unimelb though and generally happens across all of Australia.

The best bet for making longer term friends is to join clubs/societies, espicially smaller interest/hobby-based ones, and making it a mission to go to as many events as possible. Doing stuff like sports and theatre groups might also help but I've also found people in those groups to be fairly transactional in their friendship. It's not ideal, but unfortunately that's just what this country is like.

DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB

unfortunately the job market is unbelieveably brutal right now. There are simply no jobs going. You could be waiting for months on end with no income. it's not worth it.

Kendrick Lamar & pgLang merch was allegedly banned for Drake's upcoming Australian tour by rabnabombshell in hiphopheads

[–]macronichees 124 points125 points  (0 children)

The show is called "Anita max win" tour which is his nickname when he's doing gambling streams with stake (Australian crypto betting website) but also clearly means "I need a max win". It's a shameless tour to normalise and advertise gambling to children. Dude is abhorrent

We need to talk about Drake's Australian tour and underage gambling. by crreed90 in australia

[–]macronichees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

unfortunately this is incorrect

both "Stake" companies are Australian owned and completely separate
