You know they're owned by Amazon, right?
This move will drive more traffic to Amazon, unfortunately.
I feel for you and your friends. It truly was disruptive when BD launched, and made such an impact on the book scene. Sad day.
Honestly, that's a relief and the best outcome.
Non-production on the same network was not to be touched.
Unsurprisingly, you're were absolutely correct.
"An early investigation suggests hackers were able to breach Optus through a test network"
'Human error' emerges as factor in Optus hack affecting millions of Australians https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-23/optus-hack-likely-res...
To protect themselves, I suspect services like "credit monitoring and alerting" services will see increased subscribers in coming months.
I'm in no way affiliated, but an example is https://www.equifax.com.au/lp/protect-your-identity
AUD$15 per month to tell you if your details are leaked or used to create an account in your name.
New laws make it mandatory to report this major type of breach in Australia to the Australian Cyber Security Centre within 24 hours. They had no choice, or risk having the full weight of the government come at them for trying to cover it up.
Optus CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin did an interview with ABC today, and said "some of the customer information is information you would find on Facebook or LinkedIn such as name, date of birth, phone number and email address".
Umm...no. Most people do NOT publicise that information to the public.
Agreed. Until a CEO goes to jail for something like this, it'll continue to become a "pay the fine and move on" situation.
Yup. It's massive.
The recent update to Cyber Security legislation in Australia specifically states that any major breach must be reported to the Australian Cyber Security Centre within 24 hours of becoming aware of it. "MAJOR" being subjective, but this easily qualifies.
There are significant penalties for not disclosing within this time period, which is why I think we are seeing this reported before Optus has a clearer plan of how to deal with it.
As a customer of Optus and cyber security trained professional, I'm very frustrated, to say the least.
Opportunities, choices and consequences. You got the opportunity to meet a partner and chose to start a family. Not everyone gets that opportunity in life, so either be happy with your choices or make different ones. But every choice comes with consequences.
Of the 17 presidents from the last century, only three (and just nine total) are listed as having a net worth of less than one million
You might want to quote the sentence at the top of the Wikipedia table in your link, that says this is their "peak net worth" and "may occur after that president has left office".
Read through the list in the link below. McKinley, Wilson, Coolidge, Hoover, Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Obama and Biden can't be considered to have been born into families of wealth.

The open letter states the author contacted Matthew Prince (CEO, Cloudflare) 18 months ago, and received a response;
"...assuring me that the team was taking accessibility into account. In particular, you wrote the following, referring to your company’s mission: “Agree with you that it’s critical we not take a step backward as we’re working toward building a better Internet.”
I asked the same question a few years ago (tech background, needed to uplift my business knowledge/lingo). The response was "you should find a way to obtain the knowledge of an MBA, without having to do one".
As a result of searching a few years back, I ended up buying a copy of "The Personal MBA" and reading it through. This comes with the list of 99 business books, listed here; https://personalmba.com/best-business-books/
* I have no affiliation with the site, author or book. I'm just speaking from my personal experience and the benefit of business knowledge this gave me.
My prediction is that once the capability reaches contact lenses, it'll become mass adoption. The physicality of wearing a headset while walking or moving is difficult for lots of people, and tiring. Contact lenses weigh a lot less, and are less intrusive to others.
Of course, it doesn't come without pitfalls, but that's just my prediction.
A lot more visible (i.e. on the street) robots.
We see robots in manufacturing plants (e.g. cars), but not too many visible when you walk down the street. Of course, they're there, but hidden inside various normal looking objects. Automatic street lights, driverless trains, boom gates for public transport.
Seller can see the potential if others (with different/more experience) are brought on board to implement new ideas and generate more revenue.
Option A: Retain 100%, and profit $500K over 2 years
Option B: Retain 20%, take $100K of profits, but create an opportunity for uplifting the revenue potential.
Seller took Option B, and now owns 20% of a business generating $1M+ each year (so his share is now $200k revenue), with more time on his hands.
No thief is going to spend 30 minutes on a suburban street rifling through a car. If it's in a secluded parking area, or behind a building, maybe. But not on a main street with neighbours and traffic.
This assumes all papers are of equal quality, peer-review and accuracy of results. Which we know they are not. Some studies should have more weight than others. Which has been mentioned in a previous comment; there is no 'right' answer, just a variety of ways to allocate different weights to papers based on various metrics.

@Jabo: Great site. Some errors though, for example the "4 Ingredient Sauce for Roasted Lamb" says to use 12 cups of brown sugar. The source site has 1/2 cup (0.5), so I'm guessing it's a scraping issue. Wouldn't want to give someone diabetes with their lamb!
No. Because why the child can only get attention for 24 hours per day, other tasks primarily focused on the child (buying nappies, cooking baby-friendly meals, washing bottles, etc.) are what Parent #2 is doing while Parent #1 looks after child.

ATC: Traffic off to your right, north complex, the airplane. Traffic to your SOUTH, do you see anything out there?
Pilot: We've got the traffic in sight, and we're looking for the, err, jetpack guy
Similar to other's comments, I'd love to read a write up about this.
I'll bet they did. Or, if they were proactive/out performer, they changed it to 4 or 5 and just solved the problem for the next 20-30 years.
1) Implement a carbon tax (price on carbon)
2) Build a CCS Plant [1]
3) Run CCS plant using renewable energy. Charge your customers (people who need to offset their carbon footprint by buying carbon credits, such as big industry).
4) Profit
Shorter.

Which actually makes the point I was trying to make initially; there is no consensus.
There is no consensus amongst researchers on whether mandatory helmet laws reduce injuries. I, for one, will continue wearing one and forcing my kids to wear them. As steelframe [1] posted on here, when someone else hits me, I want to survive.
No, some people have $2,000+ road bikes that have never seen the road or been outside. They just set them up on a trainer with sensors ([1][2][3]) in their living room.
