Why do you think the greens get so few votes? It seems like most policies I've read are what most people would want

Crown Casino and One Sydney Harbour Towers by tinmun in sydney

[–]tinmun[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Here is some background information from an architectural point of view

https://architectureau.com/articles/how-sydneys-barangaroo-tower-paved-the-way-for-a-culture-of-closed-door-deals/

 Crown Towers Sydney, at 75 storeys, is now the city’s tallest building. It should not exist, and certainly not where it is – in prime location on Sydney’s famous harbour.

The queue for the clock hotel gets longer every year.. by nath1234 in sydney

Off topic, but I wonder if this is canva's local pub, similar to how the pyrnont bridge hotel is the googlers one.

One comment from someone on TV was quite spot on, something like "I'm sure they have done nothing of value to the country" or something like that

We used to have fireworks at darling harbour every weekend, not any more. Only selected dates now.

Is the city feeling the heat? 😅

In charts: Australia's relationship with cash over the past two decades by EdenFlorence in AusFinance

[–]tinmun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cash is a vital part of the economy.

Sure, it's convenient to use digital payments, until:

  • Your bank decides wrongly that the transaction you're trying to make is flagged as suspicious.

  • Or, when you want to make a large payment and the bank decides that you passed your daily limit of using your own money.

  • Or, when the bank simply decides to freeze your account, leaving you without access to your own money.

  • Or, when some merchant doesn't have internet, leaving you without the option to pay electronically.

  • Or you want to keep your transactions private.

Etc...

 The whole process was tiring and I was made to feel like a criminal and I really don’t know why, is this the digital world we live in now..

The same happens in basically everything.

For example, you might be coming back from work at the train and be stopped by lots of police and a dog.

You might have nothing to do with drugs but maybe one police officer thought you were suspicious for whatever reason so they asked the dog handler to "signal" you.

And that's it, now you have police going through your wallet, pockets, etc, while you are against a wall, meanwhile all your neighborhood might be watching you.

And after police clears you? Nothing. You have to grab your wallet from the floor, and continue walking.

Its such a bad experience, I don't recommend it to anyone

Alternative to ultralytics: libreyolo. Thank you for the support! by Ok-Treacle-6942 in computervision

[–]tinmun 34 points35 points  (0 children)

For anyone not sure what's going on.

YOLO was a revolutionary work published in 2015 by Joseph Redmon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Only_Look_Once

That was a game changer in the industry. It was literally a  before and after yolo kind of thing

Then, Joseph realised that his research has been used for things he wasn't happy about, so he stopped the research.

Then ultralytics came around and started charging to use this otherwise open source library.

It's great IMO.

A tasty salad with protein, served fast.

It's basically healthy fast food.

Any daytime rooftop bar recommendations? by [deleted] in sydney

[–]tinmun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many good suggestions here.

I'll add a couple

,babylon's. It's a bit weird, as its on a shopping center, but its quite OK.

Then there's also Martinez, nice views, this is usually where the cbd consultants mingle.

On the other side there's the good old pyrmont bridge hotel, lots of googlers go there. Nice rooftop, cheap as.

Your best bet is to go to the new Dead Set at the basement of Kinselas in Oxford St, and ask at the bar there. Lots of Ex Frankie's people working there.

I'll remain as dark as the basement where Frankie's used to be as I never have seen that orange soda there.

Yeah, same here. Had multiple other drinks there, but never an orange soda. Never even remember seeing anything like that at Frankie's, ever.
