In the US most of the lotteries are run by the government (typically state governments). If they can do it we can too.

The idea is that if the government gets all the profit from gambling then that money can go into social services to support the people who bankrupt themselves from gambling.
Because you can strictly enforce spending limits per person. The current system allows people who hit the limit to go down the street to an ATM and get more cash out. A digital card system is designed to close that loophole.
I don’t think “ACAB” is a great credo, and it’s probably a self-fulfilling prophecy. Don’t dehumanise cops, most of them really are trying to help.
Already has I think. Especially with tools like radar/sonarr/jellyfin that let you “follow” tv series/movies and automatically download them as they become available and put them into your own personal “Netflix” style media server. Piracy now is better than ever.
In a perfect world I would agree with you.
In a capitalist economy it’s normally a “growth or death” situation, for many reasons.
My understanding is that all of the codecs we are discussing are deterministic. If you have evidence to the contrary I’d love to see it.
Are you negging him cos you want him to be your man baby?
And my axe!
Yeah that caught my eye too, seems odd. Most compression/encoding schemes benefit from a large dictionary but I don’t think it would be constrained by the sometimes lesser total RAM on a GPU than the main system - in most cases that would make the dictionary larger than the video file. I’m curious.
I agree, the delivery services are definitely price gouging to a degree. It sucks that we’re charged for delivery, service fees AND the item prices are inflated by around 20% too. Thing is, I think there’s a bunch of reasons that TonyDelivers will eventually become as bad as the current market leaders. As his company grows, takes on employees, builds infrastructure, overheads increase, management grows - they’ll fall into the same “traps”/profit seeking the other delivery companies have fallen into.
Exactly, most services can be tied into a central authentication system/SSO and can automatically be disabled upon disabling an SSO user.
Yeah I’d give FTA another decade, 2 max. Now I think about it this is kinda worrying tho, at least on FTA everyone sees the same broadcast. If everyone’s streaming and each user’s stream could be individually selected or even tampered with [deepfakes?] the problems we have at the moment with people living in different ‘realities’ could get a lot worse. I’m not saying that’s gonna happen, but interesting things happen when powerful entities have access to technology like that.
They probably don’t have enough capable staff to manage all the regeneration, it’s never been a top priority for them. They should hire people to do it.
+1 for Digestives, cheap (Aldi), delicious, available in dark chocolate and sugar-free and really high in fibre (which helps to regulate the glycaemic response).
I haven’t heard anyone say recently “I have too much fibre in my diet”.
VicForests should be forced to regenerate coupes that have not actually regenerated, even those already handed back to the government. If it hasn’t regenerated as it would have without logging they should be liable. If the coupe was affected by bushfires they should still regenerate it.
And then he gets hired at Optus… Nek minute…
Or just have all gambling be run by the government so the profits go to social services to support people who bankrupt themselves from gambling.
