I did this until I moved to an ISP that cared about IPv6.
It was almost trivial even with the ISP’s PoS router.

Apologies, I had my figures wrong.
$2.68 billion for new roads in 2024. And Auckland City mission estimates that $30m is needed to feed every New Zealnder who needs help.
So instead of $2.68b of roads, we could make do with just $2.65b of roads.

What is it that happens when you get “old” that makes you think a cop asking for cash is legitimate? What’s the hook?
Or perhaps (trying desperately to avoid victim blaming) what can we do to help “oldies” to be less susceptible to scams like this?
I get that it might be common in more corrupt parts of the world, and is arguably a slightly less scammy protection racket.
Good.
Regardless of what crimes he committed or not or whatever, the extraordinary extent of his persecution was purely political revenge for airing dirty laundry.
Frankly, he is supremely lucky to have not had an “accident” already.
Inshallah
It’s not even a distraction.
It’s nothing more than a funnel for money to whichever military industrial complex contractor built it, with a flimsy veneer of “aid”.
I feel stupider just having read that.
It’s almost tautological.
Someone of actual good character would voluntarily stand down until whatever investigation was called for was carried out.
The ones that dig their heels in are always the ones lacking character.
If China can’t read the room, it is the room’s fault for being counter-revolutionary.
Obviously the incorrect ones.
I had a partner a bit like that many years ago. We’re also not together anymore.
It would probably be considered as appropriation by Māori, but I’m reluctant to (can’t) speak authoritativly for Māori on this. I think that public display (by wearing) would be the line not to cross with out permission/blessing.
Māori experienced similar colonial problems as experienced by the indigenous north Americans.
Having said that, often one only needs to ask permission (per se).
If you do a search for “New Zealand iwi” you’ll find contact details for different Māori iwi (tribes). I recommend finding one that’s local to the area you’ve visited and just ask if they’re OK with you reproducing their art and wearing it as it has considerable meaning to you too, and you want to respect their tīkanga (customs).
Edit: it’s very cool that you even asked!
“Dinner Out is go”, indeed.
I was thinking economically and hadn’t expanded that to paper espionage.
All that outsourcing industry to India is really paying dividends now eh?
Foreign agents operating on your soil and you have to keep it quiet.
Yup.
This isn’t about performance, it is about control.
Worse still, if the employee is still getting work done without said middle manager “adding value” then why keep the middle manager?
Even worse still, what if the employee is getting the same amount of work done in less time… Perhaps there are bigger problems, in management.
It’s not directed at you or me or most others, it’s a rallying cry to his supporters.
I’d call it a dog-whistle but he said all of it out loud.
Remember: in most cases the c-suite consider you merely as resources(human) a source of labour.
To them employees are things.
Customers are just a revenue source, they are also just things.
CEO’s are just chasing their next quarterly performance bonus.
Another is:
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
NVIDIA spent many many years doing a very very poor job of providing drivers for Linux.
Many people have not forgiven them for that.
