(Alan Jones here) I should clarify my comments in the article. By “we” I meant our venture fund, M8 Ventures. I didn’t mean to imply no one in the local tech industry lobbied against it. A large number of industry groups, tech companies and individuals argued persuasively and at length against the many flaws in the legislation. I did not make a submission to the committee or speak in Canberra. I did, however, expect that expert advice would be listened to, understood, and acted on. And I did expect the Australian Labor Party to make good on their commitment to not allow the legislation to pass without amendment. Sadly, I was wrong. We are being governed by people driven by dogma who feel no responsibility to consider facts, science or data in their policy decisions.

Yeah, I love the feeling of being in one of those teams. It's a possible idea, but don't know how it would scale beyond one team. I tried to find projects on behalf of a number of great teams a few years ago, and found I'd always bias the #1 team in the set if they were available, because I felt like I had a better chance of a great outcome on the project.

And these teams rarely invested any time in training up their own reserve bench, so often a team would be suddenly crippled by one team member needing to take time out to e.g. start a family. The team would start falling apart as other members were forced to leave the team to find gigs solo.

It's surprisingly fun because if you both have the app, and both elected to allow push notifications from the app, the laugh track you've chosen to send plays as the push arrives.

Could try Zeromail, they just came out of beta.
