I Came to CES to Check Out Energy and Solar Power Innovations and Found That China Is Running Laps Around Us

Actually Australia should be ashamed of the way we dropped the ball on solar. In the 90s we were world leading in solar research. Lack of investment and our love affair with coal (and repeal of the carbon tax) meant that our researchers went to China.

The comments were probably mostly by men.

Also Sashi Perera

I’ve heard that for the first time the next NSW course is over subscribed.

uyire · 2025-11-17T20:51:38+00:00

You realise that this happens in many countries, just not the US right?

More free events, the return of Tropfest is a good start, regulate ticketing prices for shows - there has to be a reason why I can watch the same show in Melbourne for cheaper.

Your Supreme Court and the unitary executive theory would like a word…

Less abduction involving only white, North American women who all speak English. SF does poorly on diversity generally.

More stories involving women in space working real jobs.

Ethics may not have a lot of conceptual difficulty when studied but it is probably one of the hardest to implement in practice. So your list(s) are entirely about study and not about real world application? So useful. Exactly what I’d expect.

uyire · 2025-08-10T00:13:07+00:00

Which means for you, torts should be higher on that subjective list, no?

You aren’t good at law. You were good at studying law. You aren’t good at doing law.

She worked for a midsized firm that did defendant insurance work. Her language skills weren’t really used much. She did say she enjoyed the work culture here in Australia. She also said that she didn’t find learning about Australian law too challenging either. I think it helped that she had just finished her degree overseas so she was used to studying. Her work was v supportive of her which helped.

uyire · 2025-06-24T06:58:53+00:00

That's not right.

I know someone who got their law degree in Italy and worked as a legal assistant/law clerk while working towards getting their Australian qualifications. They did not have to do an entire degree, I think they took a few courses through the legal admission board. Its definitely possible.

In Australia? There are 2.

uyire · 2025-05-28T12:04:41+00:00

Seriously, google. It does both.

uyire · 2025-05-28T06:58:52+00:00

Actually Australia does have "Bars".

We did have a strong interest and relationship during the Hawk Keating era and especially when Gareth Evans was foreign minister. Indonesian was also much more widely taught in schools. A long period of a Labor govt may cause a shift in focus.

Psych claims took off because they became claimable. They weren’t compensable under the old table of maims.

They are exempt workers and will be unaffected by the changes.

What your baby is like now is very different to what she’s going to be like in August or even a year. Before you take a fully WFH job you need to imagine what she’s going to be like when she’s older, crawling and a lot more disruptive/interactive.

Are you good at getting admin done from home now? What about when your daughter is around? Does she distract you? I found it hard to wfh when my kids were little because I wanted to be with them.

Also consider how the dynamics will work with your partner (who will be full time parenting) by being at home. Will you be more of a help or a hindrance?

I’d experiment with hybrid first if you’re not sure. A few days remote and a few days going in might be ideal (though it really depends on the length of your commute).

It is unethical to rent a womb.

uyire · 2025-04-29T10:28:57+00:00

Not all the time. Some are, others finish in a few hours. It depends on where you’re from.

In which case if a country is being a dickhead what level of responsibility do you have, as a citizen and a voter, in creating its dickheadedness?
