Craven pathetic click bait rubbish, pandering to the anti-bicycle-riding crowd, from a senior member of the Drive team. This reflects very poorly on the capacity of the entire leadership team’s capabilities.

That'd be the bundled rate!

Yep – hence "energy rates" (as distinct from charges for T&D, environmental, metering, retailer services, bundled third party services etc)

To be clear though, businesses are not seeing 1c/kWh during daylight hours being offered for their energy rates.

They would be paying a premium between the 1600% cited and possibly beyond 3000% compared with the spot value of the energy.

To be clear this is less of a "forced" IMHO and more of "enabled".

Without the access to capital *and* customers, the focus of the business was on growth, not supporting a mature customer base.

Re: Parliament moves to roll out DMARC

jufemaiz — Mon, 01 Nov 2021 01:22:48 -0000

It is the end of 2021. No one in the security agencies advising the government, or building the standards, have thought of adding it to the basic requirements for government email. We're nearly a decade since DMARC was published.

Absolutely farcical.

Taken the approach of the protobuf implementation of enums for golang. The generated code for which would be something like:

type Thing int32 const ( Thing_THING_UNSPECIFIED Thing = 0 Thing_THING_AWESOME Thing = 1 Thing_THING_AWEFUL Thing = 2 ) var ( Thing_name = map[int32]string{ 0: "THING_UNSPECIFIED", 1: "THING_AWESOME", 2: "THING_AWEFUL", } Thing_value = map[string]int32{ "THING_UNSPECIFIED": 0, "THING_AWESOME": 1, "THING_AWEFUL": 2, } ) func (x Thing) Enum() *Thing { p := new(Thing) *p = x return p } func (x Thing) String() string { return protoimpl.X.EnumStringOf(x.Descriptor(), protoreflect.EnumNumber(x)) } func (Thing) Descriptor() protoreflect.EnumDescriptor { return file_trade_model_proto_enumTypes[0].Descriptor() } func (Thing) Type() protoreflect.EnumType { return &file_trade_model_proto_enumTypes[0] } func (x Thing) Number() protoreflect.EnumNumber { return protoreflect.EnumNumber(x) } // Deprecated: Use Thing.Descriptor instead. func (Thing) EnumDescriptor() ([]byte, []int) { return file_trade_model_proto_rawDescGZIP(), []int{0} }

The maps then give the lookup of valid options.

Maybe, and I'm thinking this out loud, but maybe ASIC shouldn't charge for accessing mandatory company records, inhibiting this sort of work in the general world. Given the ATO and ASIC's general disregard for ensuring employers don't steel from their employees.

Looks like the company behind this is being dissolved (starting in 2018).

Opening of bankruptcy proceedings for envion AG
By decision of 14 November 2018, the Cantonal Court of Canton Zug dissolved envion AG, with its registered office in Baar, in accordance with Art. 731b par. 1 n. 3 of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO; SR 220) and ordered its liquidation in accordance with the provisions on bankruptcy. The appeal period has now expired unused and the decision is therefore final. For conducting the bankruptcy proceedings, the Bankruptcy Office Zug has mandated the law firm Wenger Partner Rechtsanwälte as auxiliary person.

In a first phase, the Bankruptcy Office Zug and its auxiliary shall gain an overview of the situation. At the same time, the auxiliary takes inventory of the assets belonging to the bankrupt's estate and takes the necessary measures to secure them in consultation with the Bankruptcy Office Zug.

The Bankruptcy administration and its auxiliary intend to keep the media regularly informed. They kindly ask the media for their understanding that media enquiries will not be answered individually in the first weeks of the proceedings due to the high workload.

This website contains current media releases from the Bankruptcy estate as well as specific information for those affected by the bankruptcy (creditors, contract partners, etc.).

It's the combination of short term pain, long term pain:
- short term pain: dropouts and poor QOS

Once again we have the centralised storage when it is not needed.

> The app automatically captures the date and time of a visit, and securely stores the information on a Service NSW database for 28 days before being deleted.

What are the access privileges? Who can access it? Are warrants required?

The article doesn't even mention security once.

Re: ASIC vows crackdown on bank outages, data breaches and online fraud

> With online payments fraud in Australia now at an all-time high of $478 million a year for 2018 – think about it as each of the big-four losing $100 million each – ASIC is finally showing signs it might bite the bullet in terms of making banks and credit card schemes clean up their act.

Online payments fraud represents a fraction of superannuation entitlements stolen annually by the businesses that should have paid their staff. Five years ago this amounted to $5.6billion for FY14 alone. What's happening? Wet lettuce leaves, with the cost born by employees, the state (lower tax revenue) and ethical businesses while the benefit is being taken by unethical businesses, effectively trading insolvent if they cannot pay their obligations (but given a relatively free ride by the ATO and ASIC).

When will we see businesses targeted?

We know businesses that cannot meet their tax, superannuation and wages are trading insolvent so why not use automated directors penalty notices? After all, the government is losing billions annually in tax from businesses not meeting their obligations (payg tax, unpaid super’s taxable portion etc)

Re: NBN Co floats its own 'Netflix tax'

jufemaiz — Mon, 01 Jul 2019 23:55:40 -0000

That's where I disagree. If you've paid for capacity, it's your right to use it how you please.

The argument should be over how to price capacity *NOT* about pricing different utilisation of the capacity.

We're talking capacity here and not volumetric throughput. That's a key point too.

Australians can only watch using Foxtel. Eurosport is only available via that service and is blocked via other channels (web or app)
