Google has the “Shopping” tab which shows some historical pricing information.
What!?!? Where is the pekapeka-tou-roa / long-tailed bat?
From a privacy perspective, I don’t like this. From a road safety perspective, it sounds like it might not be as effective as they claim:
And Ministry of Transport research from 2017 found 85 per cent of the road toll occurred below the speed limit.
Matthew-Wilson said speed cameras, even the new point-to-point cameras, would not lower the road toll.
He said speed alone was a factor in just 15 per cent of fatal crashes, adding there is a minority of people who would speed no matter what, and they were the ones who were involved in speed-related crashes.
“Speed cameras seem like a magic solution, but they’re not: they alienate ordinary motorists without affecting the behaviour of the tiny minority who cause most fatal crashes,” he said.
😂 True. I’m not sure why it wouldn’t work.
Crazy question: Do you have VLC installed? It won’t work in a browser. VLC is an open source video player.
If it’s not working in VLC: Do you have any error messages or log messages from VLC?
Are you in New Zealand? I think it might be geo-locked to NZ only.
That’s revenue, not profit.
The original download page links to the torrent file. When seeding it the client reports the magnet link.
So we do get the latest trends from the USA just 15 years later in this case…
Buying political favours has turned that place into a hot mess inside a dumpster fire on a train wreck. I don’t want to watch it happen here.
It’s a bit more mundane than that:
If we are arguing past each other, it’s pretty tough to solve any real problems.
It’s funny because the right wing people I’ve met talk about socialism and leftist politics being fascist. Left wing people talk about alt right populist movements as being fascist.
That indicates a highly functional propaganda machine is controlling narratives and sowing division.
Can anyone in Southland describe what it’s like for them?
There’s also transmission losses to consider.
This is hilarious. How far do you think power travels from a centralised generation plant?
I’m all for new solar but the rebates going towards residential installs will go directly in the pockets of the same companies that are squeezing us as they make billions in profit.
Without similar DER/VPP legislation they have in Australia, the markets will continue to be skewed in favour of the big gentailers. I agree that this is a separate issue from the distributed generation needing to be installed but don’t stop there. Let’s take it all the way and make a level playing field for small generators.
Wireless-only mesh is only as good as the weakest connection. You want mesh routers connected via ethernet or powerline where possible.
I’ve seen people run ethernet over rooftops and outside windows around houses.
Does “Jack The Ripper” still work these days?
In case you are wondering, here’s an episode: https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/children-of-the-dog-star-episode-two-power-stop-1984
Looks amazing.
It has teeth.
The RNZ article has more information. That leads to the FGC announcement which leads to beehive which links to mbie which finally links to the draft of the CoC: https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2023/0220/latest/LMS880991.html
The CoC is referenced from an act:
In July this year, the Government passed the Grocery Industry Competition Act, the legislation that enables, among other things, the Grocery Code of Conduct and the position of the Grocery Commissioner to be established.
