  1. Worth remembering::

    December 2023: Israeli forces in Gaza shoot and kill three Israeli captives holding a white flag and attempting to be rescued.

    How many more were killed by Israeli bombing?

  2. Worth noting the bankrupt property developers behind the Carlingford buildings, Dyldam, are different to the bankrupt property developers being investigated by ICAC for trying to bribe Parramatta city councillors:

    https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/@aj/statuses/01KG1M5SJWMNC6190XKZ3AJ8EB

    These developers, in turn, are different to Aland, which built the infamous Mascot Towers building in Sydney that was evacuated after cracking: https://www.smh.com.au/property/news/mascot-towers-owners-settle-with-developer-as-founder-buys-20-million-vaucluse-home-20220711-p5b0s6.html

    They're also different to the developers of the infamous Opal Towers in Olympic Park, which also had cracks. That was done by a firm called ICON: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-04/opal-tower-builder-launches-new-30m-crossclaim/11765280

    They're also.different to Mehris, a property developer that put up a building in Auburn that the then-Building Commissioner called the worst he'd ever seen, and another in Parramatta that needed rectification: https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/developer-forced-to-fix-serious-defects-in-two-parramatta-apartment-towers-20210630-p585km.html

    But Dyldam is affiliated with another development company called Ellerson, that's responsible for a string of dodgy apartment buildings:

    "Former Dyldam bosses Fayad Fayad, Remon Fayad, and their father Sam Fayad are behind apartment blocks in Rosebery, Parramatta and Baulkham Hills, all of which have been slapped with sanctions from the NSW Building Commissioner.

    "An ABC investigation has revealed the Fayads' property management company, Ellerson Property, has led the development and sale of dozens of new apartments across Sydney, despite the collapse of their family company Dyldam and looming bankruptcy proceedings.

    "One unit block, The Laneways Rosebery in Sydney's inner south, is facing two rectification orders issued by Building Commissioner David Chandler, detailing serious defects which have prevented unit owners from moving in for more than two years.
    ...
    "Ellerson Property's website promotes Observatory Place in Parramatta as an "elegant 24-storey building" still under construction.

    "Despite developers claiming on social media the building would be finished in early 2022, the units which were being sold off-the-plan are now off the market as the NSW Department of Fair Trading investigates defective building work.
    ...
    "Another development belonging to the family's now-defunct business Dyldam was sanctioned two years ago for posing a "hazard to human to life".

    "In October 2021, government inspectors found waterproofing issues and an awning at risk of collapsing at Modena, a 15-storey apartment block in Baulkham Hills in north-west Sydney.

    "The Dyldam subsidiary company, Hills Shoppingtown Pty Ltd, that owned the block, was placed into receivership in 2021 along with 22 Dyldam subsidiaries, leaving receivers McGrathNicol to fulfil a government order to fix the building."

  3. Worth noting that the actual leader of the opposition is still a woman, Pauline Hanson. #auspol #libspill

  4. Worth noting for #GoogleMaps users... It has been clear to me for some time that #Google is using machine learning algorithms (sometimes called "AI") to adjust boundaries of geographic features. I assume they run an #ML model over satellite photos to do this. Here's a example of it failing, badly. The first picture attached is a Google Map of an urban creek in my town, with a street just north of it. Note how Google shows the creek not going anywhere near the street. The second picture is a topographic map of the same area. Notice how the creek ACTUALLY goes much farther north than Google depicts. For creeks and bodies of water I've noticed this most often happens where there is an adjacent #FloodPlain that the creek spills into on occasion. Clearly Google's algorithm is noticing water during flood conditions, or breaks in the tree line, and "learning" that the creek has moved. (In their defense, it is quite unusual that this urban creek passes directly under an office building parking deck, which probably also played a part. But why use ML to do this stuff when #topographic data exists?) #AIFails #AIFailures

  7. Worth remembering that prior to the Great Depression, farm prices collapsed well before Wall Street did.

    Regulators who regulate and the overturning of Citizens United would help remedy this.

  8. Worth a read, re: Adam Kinzinger…

    Reminds me of a great line from one of the West Wing episodes, that went something like “Decisions are made by the people who show up” (paraphrased).

  14. Worth a read of the whole article.

    “If Canada is going to meet its #ClimateTargets, virtually everything will need to be #electrified. Gas guzzlers swapped for #ElectricVehicles and #PublicTransportation; #HeatPumps put in place of gas furnaces; and renewable energy moving to centre stage as coal, oil and gas power plants are phased out.” bird.makeup/users/jvipondmd/st

  15. Worth noting there are a few version of Campbell's soup can packaging out there so I took a screenshot of this one for sale on amazon.ca (there's a double whammy for you).

    Note that the address on this Campbell's soup can is just a last-mile distribution facility. There has been no production at this location since 2018. It is not, in fact. "prepared in Canada".
