That's interesting only for the fact I recall it being taught different or perhaps missed that all through school. Being based on sound brings yet another aspect of english into th…

You are correct but it is not based on the sound, just if it starts with a vowel. If one listens to people speak, a common mistake, even I do it from copying the same in others, (d…

Well I suppose it's a theory ... but I'd guess they were not that familiar with the 00s, when places like Facebook that had poor moderation at the time (they didn't employ anything…

I'm obviously going to ignore the conditional goal posts at scale and cost effective ... burgeoning technology does not typically land with all the problems ironed out or have econ…

I have no idea, I was going to say it was only showing the last 2 or three days as I've struck using one of the /foo in the past. I would have then suggested points but not a fit, …

The difference [1] and nuances [2] between payg tax and payroll tax isn't something one expects the average person to be that aware of. Given the overall benefit to both state and …

Under 16s are banned ... it's a law and it is actionable if things go wrong that involves someone under 16 doing something as a result of social media being extremely negative impa…

The simple answer why many news media closed down comments was the fact laws changed in some countries for content control that put the onus on the platform to moderate all content…

Don't make the mistake that a superb medical system exists here. It does not, with the bulk of diagnostic medical folks I have encountered could easily be described as daft or only…

For context, Australia was a place in the 90s where some big companies were trying to scalp mere individuals for tens of thousands for having a single low quality version of their …

Yes, but the under 16 ban remains. For context there was a public outcry years ago in Australia about the algorithms some social media companies were using, particularly those that…

There's been a few surveys, some better than others ... but the reality is they don't matter that much. The ban was just another way to skin a cat - that cat in particular were the…

I had a quick look. Yes I noted some apparently older links, one from the source didn't seem to list a date -- however it didn't render in my older browser with a big deny list. Ot…

Well there's certainly at least one major thing I've noticed. Have you seen any recent Australian based news footage of little under 16 hoons that have uploaded their stream to soc…

The ban does not need to be absolute, as I already mentioned in the above reply. To work, it doesn't need to be, to enforce absolutely would be a freaking nightmare, though vested …
