truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”

Occupational medicine pioneer Dr. Harriet Louise Hardy was born #OTD in 1906. Her discovery of the link between industrial beryllium exposure and fatal lung disease forced the fluorescent lamp industry to completely eliminate the toxic metal in 1949. #WomenInSTEM 🧵

Australia is the second-biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas in the world, behind only the US and ahead of Qatar. A 25% tax on gas exports could raise $17 billion every year. ✍ Sign the petition for a plebiscite on a 25% gas export tax ⤵️ https://theaus.in/3RcqQJ4

Just heard that the great John Blanche passed on. No illustrator had more of an impact on my childhood. Blanche is probably the single person who most influenced the aesthetic of Warhammer 40,000 and a lot of modern fantasy / sci-fi as a result

“If you’re starting to think GDP might not really capture what matters in life, you very much are not mistaken," writes Greg Jericho, Chief Economist at The Australia Institute. Read more 👇 https://theaus.in/4vnsSUY

Introducing psign: portable code signing. every file format, every signing method, every platform 👇 No more "let's run this on Windows because of signtool.exe". Say yes to code signing from Linux! 🚀 github.com/Devolutions/...

Second update: I found another massive performance issue when running concurrent winget commands due to how it's using mutexes inefficiently, resulting in slow runs over a minute for a simple "winget show": github.com/microsoft/wi...

I've got a locally patched winget that is magnitudes faster both for single winget commands and concurrent winget commands. Take a look at that - between 30 seconds and several minutes, down to a consistent 1 second with my patches 👇

Australia and Norway both have highly profitable resource industries. Norway taxes oil and gas at 78% and has used that revenue to build the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund. The comparison highlights the massive opportunity Australia has missed. Read more: https://theaus.in/4sHQcex

The Australia Institute estimates a new 25 per cent tax would generate a whopping $17bn per year. Speaking before the Senate inquiry, Dr Richard Denniss said a tax would increase the supply of gas to Australians and "push the price of that gas down.” Read more: https://theaus.in/4tlFn2N

The Petroleum Resources Rent Tax is broken. Australians deserve a fair return for our resources. A 25% tax on gas exports would raise $17 billion a year (which yes, is far more than $6.9 billion over four years!) 📺 @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Played the John Carpenter's toxic commandos demo and I have to say, a very capable Left4Dead horde shooter with some reasonable metagame progression mechanics! Looking forward to the full release.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

it's so funny that Games Workshop went in twenty years from a company that made games you got beaten up in middle school for enjoying to now being the 67th most valuable company in the United Kingdom incredible victory for kids who spent ages 11+ with a crust of super glue on their fingertips

A reminder that gas is not a vital industry to Australia. As Polly Hemming explains, if anything, it costs the Australian economy. Some more gas myths debunked here: thepoint.com.au/factchecks/2...

Based on analysis of years of revenues, losses and funding, since 2023, OpenAI has taken in $28.6bn in cash and had $13.7bn in losses. However, reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn in cash - suggesting OpenAI's losses are billions higher than reported. www.wheresyoured.at/where-is-ope...

Mark is still waiting on a reply... 🟠 Multinational gas export companies get over half of the gas they export from Australia royalty-free 🟠 Treasury says no gas export project has ever paid PRRT ✍️ Add your name to the petition to fix Australia's gas export problem > theaus.in/fix_gas_expo...

A gas exports tax would also disincentivise gas giants selling offshore. Our analysis shows this would increase Australia’s gas supply and lower prices dramatically. Read more: australiainstitute.org.au/post/actu-pl...

A 2% wealth tax on people worth more than $5 million (excluding the family home and superannuation) would raise $41 billion per year. Read the full media release here: australiainstitute.org.au/post/three-s...

“At the moment Australia literally gives half the gas we export away for free. Zero royalties, no PRRT paid on half the gas we export.” Executive Director Richard Denniss chats with 3AW about how Australia is giving away most of our gas for free. @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

I love GitHub and I think Microsoft has done a great job after the acquisition. I think however that they desperately need to take a step back, replace the CEO, and make sure that the next one has some kind of media training. What Thomas Dohmke wrote is unacceptable.

Norway taxes their fossil fuel industry and gives their kids free university education. In Australia, we give more than half of the gas we export away for free, and charge our kids a fortune to go to uni. 📺 Executive Director @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

They’re about to off her.

"I spend a lot of time talking to industry, and everybody is complaining about the high cost of energy." "While we've got 3x the energy input that we had three years ago. It's insane." "We will not have a manufacturing industry." - Geoff Crittenden, CEO, Weld Australia #auspol

"We are paying high prices for gas and electricity because of decades of policy failure by governments, and because of gouging by the gas industry." - Dr Monique Ryan MP, Independent Member for Kooyong @mon4kooyong.bsky.social #auspol

Tas reform isn't hard: slug multinationals and subsidise things we want more of – @ebonybennett.bsky.social "In Norway, they tax the gas industry and subsidise young people to attend university for free. In Australia, we subsidise the gas industry and charge our kids a fortune to get a degree."

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

Plenty of public schools in Canberra have demountables instead of permanent buildings, but Canberra Girls Grammar received nearly $4m in tax-deductible donations in 2023. Why are we subsidising swimming pools for private schools instead of fully funding education for every student?

Other countries tax their oil and gas industries. Australia subsidies ours. Our research found while gas prices boomed in 2022, LNG companies made windfall gains of up to $40 billion. PRRT take increased by less than $1 billion. It's time to fix the tax loopholes that Big Gas exploits. #auspol

"You're not alone in thinking Australia is getting taken for a ride." Other countries are making a fortune from our gas exports, while Australians pay a premium price for our own gas. @richarddenniss.bsky.social with @punterspolitics.bsky.social 🧡 Our EOFY appeal: theaus.in/support_EOFY25
