@formerguest said in Jack Miller wins in Jerez:

Good to see Jack get a Moto GP win in the dry in Spain tonight.

Indeed, good result for Ducati too who needed it. Meanwhile Ricciardo limped home in 9th at Portimao in F1. He actually drove a decent race but still isn’t able to drive the car the way he wants.

Please take the time to view the time lapse of two halves of the HMS Glasgow being positioned prior to being joined. The Clyde River is in the foreground.

Australia’s HMAS Hunter Class has begun prototyping and construction proper commences in 2022. The facilities at Osborne Naval Shipyard are state of the art and what the Brits/Scots had planned for the Clyde but didn’t eventuate. The first three ships names are Hunter, Flinders and Tasman.

Note the size of the ‘frigate’ which in the Hunter Class is near the 9000 tonne displacement, which is heavier than our Hobart Class destroyers.

There is a hole in the hull where a gearbox needs to be located.

I don’t know if these work in Australia as I don’t currently have access. Put these in the search

@jirskyr said in A Year Monitoring Crypto during COVID:

My issue is not whether or not the relative value yo-yos (because I don’t invest in crypto anyway) but the question always remains - can you actually exercise your crypto whenever you please?

So if you see a 500% gain on speculative value, can you take that bitcoin and buy a house or a car or simply turn it into old fiat currency? Because I am of the understanding it’s not that simple to covert your “gains”, in which case it becomes a question of exactly what kind of “profit” you have made.

For example, it’s all fine and dandy for the bank to value your house at $X, but another thing entirely to find buyers who agree and will stump up the cash.

My concern is also, if you are more and more exposed to crypto as a means of investment, it is extremely high risk of external influence, as already noted. Some punk can make a twitter comment and half your projected investment value in 1 day. Sure the stock market can do similar things, but at least with stocks you can diversify very broadly and you have some very long-term dependably performing stocks, which themselves are informed by the success of the relative business. And fundamentally, businesses exist to be successful and make profit, so there is an inherent drive within business to succeed, upon which investors can judge whether the expertise/capability/market exists for that success.

For crypto, there are really only a handful of legitimate large players, they absolutely do not have long-term dependable performance and there is no inherent drive for success, except for the hoarding and hyping of existing owners. Crypto doesn’t actually exist in any physical capacity, there’s no tangible group or person or performance metric driving the crypto values. It’s only speculation and FOMO that drives the prices.

So if you have spare 000s you can afford to lose, go for it, but you might as well gamble that money all over the place; hedge your bets.

Have you used PayID or Osko through your bank at all? That uses Blockchain technology and just a small example of it creeping into our everyday lives.

@happy_tiger said in Gallen v Browne (spoilers):

More importantly how did the best up and coming boxer in Australia go …Liam Wilson ??

He struggled tbh. I would like to see Wilson vs. Jarvis as a bit of an unofficial Aussie prospect matchup and then the winner can go on with it overseas. I think Jarvis would tool him even though he’s undersized.

IMHO Facebooks core business is collecting consumers and profiling them with the view of selling access to a qualified group of consumers depending on what it is you’re selling. It acts as intermediary , while guarding its valuable consumers from open access by its customers, the sellers. Facebook has amassed its 2.2b consumers through providing news in its various forms. It needs news for consumer recruitment and retention but it is not its core business.

Umm, Facebook hasn’t amassed 2.2b people by providing news. That’s a fallacy. Facebook doesn’t need news at all. Facebook has amassed 2.2b people by providing a platform were the people (users) are the content. It enables people to interact with each other and to share their lives, interests, stories and views with each other. News is something the news media corporations put on Facebook voluntarily to reach a greater audience.

The true meaning of news is different from your interpretation. It is basically information that is new. It may be in the form of gossip, a weather report, informative interaction with its consumers, a murder in your suburb and as you say sharing of each other’s lives. Regardless of what form it takes, people have a thirst for information that they don’t already have, it’s called news. And this is why people find FB useful. If it’s core business was developing a platform, then it’s been done. If it’s core business was maintaining a platform then who pays them to maintain it? No sir, it’s core business is and always has been putting people in groups and charging for limited access. Have you ever looked at the dossier they have on you?

Advertisers pay to show their advertisements. That’s who pays for it. Simple. It has nothing todo with journalists or news media corporations. In your interpretation of news the people are the news. As I said Facebook does not need the news media corporations. The 2.2b users are there because they generate the content that others want to see which allows advertising.

I think you are off track in terms of this thread and the news media deals associated with new laws. News in this instance is news generated by news media corporations or news businesses.

You’re talking about news which is generated by professional journalists etc. Why would that be of benefit to a social platform?
It’s enhanced content and professionally written. Sure some of it is gossip and opinion but it is professionally presented by those who have access and the skill to investigate.
If you asked yourself honestly why you are a member of fb, Twitter or even this forum the answer would be the same. You come on hear for news and sharing of ideas/opinions. But it’s the news which is the big bait. When an insider like the Pom delivers the news you are more accepting as opposed to say, me giving you my opinion?
Mike, if you think fb was created purely for members to enjoy chatting then you’re being naive. I agree with you, that the members are doing some heavy lifting by creating much of the news stories, but the main game is reaching out to a very large number of qualified prospects to sell something. An idea, a new potato peeler, a political point of view, whatever you want to sell. That’s where fb makes more than 90% of its revenue and that’s why it is it’s core business.

I’m not entirely disagreeing with you. However news content from news media corporations is not needed by Facebook. That’s not what Facebook is about. It really adds very little value when it can be obtained from other sources. Despite your assurances most of it is crap anyway and not very professional. I always try and go to the source and that isn’t a journalist. Have you every had a paper publish something about you, your company or a family member. If you have you will know just how distorted the news media is. It’s whatever spin they can put on it that is more likely to attract readers and hence advertisers. It mostly has very little todo with facts. There are of course exceptions but that’s what they are exceptions, they are rare.

I’ve exactly asked myself why I am on Facebook and it had absolutely nothing todo with news content generated by news media corporations. I am there to keep in contact with my relatives and friends who live in different states and on various different continents on this planet. I am also there to discuss and learn about things that interest me. I am able to discuss and chat with like minded individuals and experts in a particular field that I would otherwise never have a chance to meet.

All of my ‘friends’ are there for similar reasons.

Facebook generates revenue from my interactions by showing me advertising. It’s really not that hard to understand.

I’m on Facebook to share memes and rant about sport, I barely have any family on it…

It takes all types… lol. I must say though not following any media outlets makes Facebook a very pleasant place to be.

When a lot of the media pages started popping again after the ban was lifted I just went and blocked them. There s so much less crap there now.

Same here
