Google are breaking my mittens - Sonofa. Twelve years ago I knitted a pair of โself-replicating mittensโ (web-goddess.org/archive/14046) with a QR code that pointed you to the pattern for the mittens, and I entered them in the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I was pretty proud of my cleverness. In the blog post (web-goddess.org/archive/11192) where I talked about making the mittens, I said:
I wanted my code to be as simple as possible, so I needed to use a URL shortener to mask my intended address. I settled on using Googleโs, reasoning that it was likely to be around the longest. (Though who knows these days, right?)
You can guess whatโs happened, right? Google URL Shortener links will no longer be available (developers.googleblog.com/en/gโฆ) as of August this year.

i've been noticing more websites not including GST in listed prices, which, to my understanding, is illegal unless you're advertising exclusively to other businesses:
Businesses must display the total price of a product or service as a single figure. This price must be the minimum total cost โ the lowest amount a customer could pay, including any taxes, duties and unavoidable or pre-selected extra fees.
here are two websites i've seen doing this in the past week alone - red hat and patreon. patreon in particular is in no way aimed at business-to-business transactions.
Price displays
There are laws about how businesses display prices. They cover how prices are displayed, and what must be included in the displayed prices.Australian Competition and Consumer Commission

The cold, hard facts are that #postdocs are the main drivers of scientific publications everywhere. If you want to make a society great, you have to protect the main drivers of innovation. It is absolutely short-sighted to cut funding in hopes of cutting costs. There are other areas of tax-payer monies to prioritize for cost-cutting. Research has a massive multiplier effect that is felt for many generations.
