As per usual, that’s British slang which was carried over to Australia. Almost all slang phrases Americans associate with Australia are British in origin and still in wide use, as you’d expect given the history of both countries.
It's also commonly used in the US. I've never heard it of it being associated with the commonwealth at all - based on the vulgarity I always assumed it was a native production.
This shows that ESG needs updating. Investing in arms manufacturers is no longer just code for "support the bombing of brown people to enrich the MIC", it can also mean "ensure sovereignty and defend democracies against a hostile, desperate dictator" - treating the two as equivalent, and both as immoral, is outdated.
Violating the E (Environment) should lead to fines to make up for environmental clean up. If severe enough there should be prison time for the responsible higher ups.
Drop the S and G. There are existing laws to for most of these.
Governments can use weapons embargoes to stop their defense contractors from selling to specific countries.
The problem is that it's not a binary choice, and the current situation in Israel is making it extremely difficult for regular institutions to work with defence businesses without avoiding damaging associations in public perception.
OTOH, arms are arms, and when the Ukraine war will (hopefully, someday) be over, the startups that are springing up now, some of which will become established companies by then, will start looking for new markets for their (defensive and offensive) arms developed and tested in Ukraine.
This comes only a few days after a data breach was reported at the Technical University of Denmark [1], exposing the personal records of current and past students, faculty and staff. That included their CPR numbers (government id at the central person registry), that could for example be used to look up their official place of residence. All in all, it seems likely that someone just got the table they needed to join on the first breach.
> Even when a goal is simple and well-defined, sometimes it’s going to look much less achievable to experts than it actually is
I think it’s a compelling idea, that even if AI never achieves superintelligence, there might still be enormous value in their ability to relentlessly pursue a solution for much “longer” (relatively speaking) than a human. Even if they never let us pick the highest hanging fruit, if they instead let us pick every single low hanging fruit, that’s still a massive win.
In the 16th century, being "on the money" meant an arrow or a dart being on (or near) a specific physical coin (i.e. the money), like in a tossing or shooting bar-bet.
Being on merely a money (or some money) would likely not be as impressive in said circumstances, and so whilst being grammatically possible in English, it shouldn't seem so likely the sort of thing anyone would ever have had to say.
This site proves to me that the better you are at the things that matter most in your niche, the more you can get away with not even trying in other areas.
This is more like an exception than the norm and Berkshire is not really something to generalize.
Most investment funds of that size do chose to maintain proper websites.
This is more like Berkshire branding, look at Warren living in the same house despite having billions (while conviniently ignoring dude owns personal jets), look how we have such a grandpa website, look at our humble branding, we are not like the other greedy bankers and are perfectly moral agents you can "trust" etc.
They’re telling you the year where the new OS will be stable enough that it’s a good idea to upgrade (joke’s on them, I still haven’t “upgraded” to Tahoe…)
TBH Tahoe feels like an especially buggy .0 still. I'm updating as soon as my laptop shows it as available in the hopes that it'll feel closer to a .1 than what Tahoe is.
