@australian “Don’t take more fuel than you need.”
Wasn’t that his govt stockpiling strategy that is now terribly inadequate? And we’re supposed to replicate that?

Anthony Albanese calls for calm ahead of the Easter holidays, as he tells people not to load up on fuel and consider public transport. Read more: bit.ly/4m3ffH7

Albanese should be in Washington right now.
Why isn’t he? 🫤
At 7pm, this National Address will be broadcast across all TV and radio stations. Which means that no one under 40 will hear it.
We can expect zero solutions and a whole lot of Covid-style ‘voluntary’ guidelines and future restrictions that will almost certainly be in place by the end of April.
When you hear phrases such as, ‘All in this together!’ and ‘Play your part!’ you know the government has no idea what to do except apply the iron fist of government control.

None of these are fully open source, but they offer excellent free plans:
@Github - repos, site hosting
@Cloudflare has heaps of free services and free tiers on DNS, attack protection, pages, cloud workers, etc.
@Figma free version is brilliant. Use it regularly.
@Trello and @Grok also offer very capable and generous free tiers.

@readswithravi Unless you’re a perfectionist, in which case you might need to just chill a little and be OK with 80-90% because perfecting takes you the rest of the day! 😅 Guilty.

We've just introduced laws to crack down on petrol price gouging with huge fines.

@philcip17 @andrewbogut @AlboMP Selling a product at the cost of replacing it is not “taking advantage”.

Why does everyone want stricter fuel price gouging measures? Frankly, I would rather have expensive fuel than none to buy at all. If some companies decide to raise their prices in order to be able to source fuel from alternate sources and not run dry, then they should be able to.

Hey @AlboMP
Fining for fuel gouging is all good and all but perhaps read the tweet below........
Might work better.......

As an engineer working in the energy sector here is how I would solve our energy crisis: Cancel net zero, what Australia does in this space is pointless. Given our isolation have one year's storage of petroleum products. Build an energy sector that utilises all of our bountiful resources, such as gas, coal, nuclear and some renewables (rooftop solar, geothermal, hydro) Prioritise energy security and cost to consumer. Build refinery capacity to meet our local needs. The refineries should be flexible to support different oil crudes. For energy exports follow the Qatar model, local use first then export to drive down costs. Drill baby drill and consider technology such as Gas to Liquids and biodiesel to shore up our oil reserves. Produce all of our own fertiliser and adblue locally. The gulf crisis has shown the folly of our current approach. Whatever the question is Hydrogen is not the answer. @PaulineHansonOz #auspol

Marc Andreessen just said something that would end most public figures on contact.
He practices zero introspection.
And he believes the entire framework was invented and sold to you.
Andreessen: “Zero. As little as possible. Move forward. Go.”
Not a calibrated amount.
Not a healthy minimum.
Zero.
The man who has deployed more capital into transformative technology than almost any living person does not look backward.
Does not dwell.
Does not self-examine.
He builds.
So why does everyone else think they should?
Andreessen: “All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy are kind of manufactured in the 1910s, 1920s.”
Everything you were taught about psychological self-awareness is not ancient wisdom.
It is not a universal law of the human mind.
It is a framework. Built in Vienna. About a hundred years ago. By one man and the movement he started.
Before Freud, no one building anything real thought this way.
Andreessen: “Great men of history didn’t sit around doing this stuff.”
They did not journal their feelings before making decisions.
They did not run ambition through a filter of guilt before acting.
They saw the thing. Built the thing. Moved.
David Senra has read over 410 biographies of the world’s greatest builders. Every single one runs the same way.
Senra: “Sam Walton didn’t wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and kept doing it over and over again.”
No emotional audits.
No existential loops.
No self-examination before execution.
Just the work. Every morning. For decades.
Then Andreessen named the mechanism.
Andreessen: “The individual needs to self-criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt. It never resonated with me.”
He called it a guilt-based psychological update installed across Western civilization. One that convinced ambitious people their first instinct should be self-doubt.
Then the line that lands hardest.
Andreessen: “I find people who dwell on the past get stuck in the past.”
That is not philosophy.
That is pattern recognition from a man who has watched thousands of founders win and fail up close.
The ones who dwell do not ship.
The ones who loop on self-criticism do not scale.
The ones who relitigate every past decision cannot move fast enough to matter.
Look at who is actually building right now.
Not pausing to assess implications.
Not waiting for public consensus.
Not scheduling emotional audits before the next product cycle.
Running the same operating system as every builder Senra has ever studied.
See the thing. Build the thing. Wake up and do it again.
A hundred years of therapy culture told ambitious people their biggest obstacle was inside them.
The builders didn’t listen.
And you’ve spent your whole life learning their names.

We’re also cracking down on petrol price gouging with huge fines.
Because there's no excuse for increasing profits at the expense of Australians.
English
We're halving the fuel tax for three months to save you money when you fill up.
Conflict overseas is pushing up prices at home. And we know Australians are feeling the pressure.

I asked Grok how it would manage Australia’s fuel supply. Here’s what it proposed.
Quite impressive. 🤓 grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5…

Master thread on the 2015-2022 closure of the Internet, the process by which every major Internet platform went from broadly open with a few basic guidelines to strict narrative enforcement, often with the collaboration of govts and outsourcing moderation power to NGOs.

In the 1990's the internet was charming and useful. Like a puppy. Then it grew into a monster we're constantly trying to stop from eating us.

Someone said once that the 90s was the best decade because while technology was rapidly improving it was still in service of improving the quality of human life, not in service of mass information gathering and surveillance. After 9/11, everything changed. But in the 90s the tech was still helping everyone have cooler better lives.
