Hard News: Spring Timing, in reply to NBH,
the Kennedy School of Government is exceptionally prestigious.
I think we're meant to be accepting that a Business school is by default better than a school of Public Administration, because free market.

Hard News: The Web, in reply to Rob Stowell,
There’s something wrong with my wife and I searching the same term in google and getting different results
You can turn that off - go into settings on the google search homepage, turn off search history. It's not easy to find, but it's there.

Roofies will do that to you.
And thanks for the Weatherall mix Bob - it is some fine tunes.

“Anything worthwhile in life, as any adult with adult experience knows, when you’re trying to get people to shift positions or agree on something which they’re not comfortable with, requires discretion,” said Groser.
*snort*
Groser clearly has an interesting negotiating technique.

Any rule determining whether new media are "news media" based on a proportion of content being "news" is bound to come back and bite the older news organisations.
How much advertorial stops a newspaper being news?
How many PR-provided angles prevent an article being called news?
Which currently-existing news organisation would pass the tests being proposed for blogs?

Remind me where the roads of national significance were?

I can see privatising pooh pipes in each suburb ending well for all concerned (except those with wells).
That developer is definitely going to be around when the excrement hits the everything.
They'd never just leave the MUDs drowning in debt and things they wished were mud, after the funds for sewerage were siphoned off to buy whatever it is real estate cowboys buy to assuage their guilt.

Hard News: Narcissists and bullies, in reply to Richard Aston,
I am not saying forget about the rapists, yes we need to deal with that – and strongly – but I am saying lets at least explore the causes.
Just saying.Absolutely, and what Hebe said too.
I think we can agree to exercise our powers of holding more than one thought in our heads at a time and say yes, rape culture needs to be stomped, and rapists are still choosing to do things that others exposed to that culture do not. It's not an either or situation.
I apologise if I came across as trivialising this or being flippant, that was not my intent.

Hard News: Narcissists and bullies, in reply to Henry Barnard,
A time to consider introducing a quota system to encourage a significant increase in the number of women in the police force? And especially at higher levels?
Have been wondering how hard it must be to be a female police officer; maybe as bad as being in the military? Which is fucking awful to consider, given what we know about that.
Need more women in the police, but can't in good conscience encourage people to subject themselves to that sort of environment. Problem.

Too true. Where were the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, and friends of the family. This stuff didnt occur in a vacuum, it occured with a culture.
But the actual rapists are still rapists. Just sayin'.
