No, I am not confident that this legislation will never be abused, even if it is unlikely to be abused in the current political climate. I…

Both major parties have shown support for the legislation. I can understand if you think the censorship won't eventuate because politicians…

How about a scenario that is realistic. You seem to be surprised that a student who is interested in studying law, where there are 2x more…

If you were so smart you would understand that no individual student imagines themselves to end up unemployed. Do you assume that you are…

I don't think this culture genuinely exists in Australia. The government proposal is clearly a vote buying exercise a few months before the…

You are being incredibly simplistic. Try putting yourself in the shoes of a prospective student. Engage your brain 😄

You can make that argument from the sidelines, but the government knew in advance that increasing the cost of certain degrees would have…

Some context which most will have no awareness of: HECS is supposed to be a *concessional* loan scheme. However for many years now…

I am going to assume your question is genuine and you are not stereotyping me as some contrarian cooker. The government will be able to use…

So it's only a matter of time then. Obviously you can see the difference between petabytes of text data and video data.

Before Chinese competition was available (around 2022 to 2023) Teslas were often one of the top 5 selling cars each month. The model Y was…

Noone else can do it either. It's basically AI, but unlike GPT models which can easily be fed the entire internet to produce a model that…

**less** regulation for a natural monopoly? What I'm drawing out from you is that you haven't got an understanding of what your views…

Support building, you mean give away taxpayer dollars to support competition? Or do you mean it in some non specific way that has no costs?

I am glad you agree how difficult and impressive it is to privately create something like Starlink. So it is clear to both of us why it is…

So ignore the problem then?

Price history suggests $10 is the price when it isn't on sale, and will be cheaper within a few weeks

That's exactly why I'm against another monopoly internet provider forming. But people are short sighted and think corporations have morals.…

They put the health of their people ahead of profit, what animals

While I support the efforts of starlink, critical infrastructure really shouldn't be entirely owned by a single corporation, which it will…

Not sure what that means but OK. I encourage you to read this conversation again with fresh eyes.
