Oh the tabs.
- Chris Quin is CE of Foodstuffs North Island. His chat with Morning Report on what they've been doing to get groceries through to Hawke's Bay, including helicopters....
- The nastiness is intrinsic to Dahl's work. Erasing it is a mistake. I still think that when rights-holders abandon the original works by making them unavailable, those works should enter the public domain. Especially if the author is already dead.
- Looks like business-as-usual continues on at least one front. Government is set to impose a pile of compliance regulations on incorporated societies and there just isn't time to let them look at the regulations before they take effect. Government, despite the change at the top, is still trying to do too many things at the same time and risks making serious messes.
- Dileepa Fonseca also points to government capacity constraints. "...Wellington's workforce is already overwhelmed coping with the central government's demands at the moment..."
- Yeah, it'd be great if it were easier to import and use plasterboard in rebuilding from a cyclone.
- Headline says it all about building anything: "New Far North council dog pound balloons from $200,000 to $2.4m and can house fewer dogs."
- Look, if they were really serious about it, they'd have made it some kind of Commandment.
- University of Canterbury's Covid response was risible.
- Effective Altruism in the classroom!
- Genetically modified trees that are sterile and so no wilding problem. But GE regs mean they can't be planted.
- Bryce Wilkinson on some of the problems in the RMA replacement bills
- The perils of trying to curtail hazily defined 'disinformation'
- The Future of Long COVID
- We don't need laws against scapling. And if a platform like Viagogo can't reliably make sure it isn't selling fake tickets, people won't use it.
