Going back for more, now a post about the Australian immigration system. The TL;DR: is just use a market-based mechanism to allocate scarcity instead of colossal torrents of bureaucratic process that have obviously failed. caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2026/06/10/how…
Not content with kicking the hornet's nest just once, I have written another post about Australian policy, this time on its failure to aggressively modernize its defense force in response to four years of data from Ukraine and other contemporary theaters. Somehow, Australia

Time to finally fix Trespasser!
Has anyone put a hydrofoil on an e-bike? I'm ready for the amphibious riding experience.
This entire event will be confusing as hell for posterity. "What do you mean you used a robot boat to rescue two human helicopter pilots in a war zone?" "Ha ha gramps, you had robot boats but not robot helicopters that's a good one." Note that Homer's depiction of war chariots also doesn't quite make sense.
This was an absolutely massive win for @Saronic And by extension the broader US Defense Tech Ecosystem And also the American Warfighter I’m not an investor in Saronic but believe in giving praise when it’s due Bravo 👏
Uh oh, now I'm on their radar. Illuminati confirmed.
I guess I should tell a VC horror story. I probably shouldn't say who but I was invited to breakfast with a guy who invented the web browser, ostensibly to discuss American Dynamism and synthetic chemistry. Anyway, what I thought was a brief warm up discussion turned into a high speed monologue on James Burnham that was so long I lost all sense of space, time, and feeling in my lower legs. You might think there's only so much that can be said about James Burnham but that is incorrect. It turns out to be the Oracular source of write only line noise that powers all of SSL/TLS on the modern Internet. SpaceX makes about a billion dollars a year just retransmitting the self-encrypting ideas of Burnham back and forth through the atmosphere. This incidentally also disproves Dark Forest Theory and solves the Fermi Paradox.
Granite Act Now!
Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us
@lukepuplett Yes, and adverse selection exists.
Australia can double its birth rate with two changes: double the number of houses, halve the number of taxes.
Australia’s fertility rate has plummeted. They’ve hit the lowest rate in history at 1.48 — well below the 2.1 replacement rate. The average age of mothers was 25 in 1971, and now it’s 32. This is a human catastrophe.
@harshad1313 Repressive totalitarian state?
@l46715387 Solar energy costs 0.1% +- 0.02% of corn.
The bear case for SpaceX is that we humans don't find a way to feed AIs with space solar power and instead they convert Earth's crust into solar powered computronium, which will cause ... problems for agriculture. Among other things.
@IterIntellectus Harnessing even a millionth of the Sun’s power, which is extremely difficult, results in an economic value far more than a million times than that of Earth’s current entire economy
It's not hard to get a Russian visa. $100 for business visa and invitation.
Have said for years that Russia should abandon strict reciprocal visa rules and make it as easy as possible for Westerners to visit. Let people see Moscow, Petersburg, Novogorod, Kazan, Sochi, Lake Baikal and ordinary Russian life for themselves, without the filter of
