@dexterdake @DJ_CURFEW Would you do it again now MCPs replace the need to consolidate and instead choose best of breed solutions?

If you haven't read this article, you need to. Plex sent 120 remote employees to Honduras for a Survivor-themed retreat. $500k budget.

- CEO ignored "don't eat the vegetables" warnings, got E. coli from a salad, spent the week on an IV nailed to his bedpost while the retreat he planned happened outside his window

- First challenge was eat whatever's on the platter. One guy lifted the cover and found a dead tarantula. He ate it. "Pretty horrible, not going to lie. Those hairs."

- Navy SEAL drills on the beach in 100 degree heat. One employee landed on a fire ant hill in shorts. Medical staff had no antihistamine pills, only injectable. They shot it into her butt cheek.

- A porcupine fell through a shower ceiling onto an engineer. "I called the front desk. I said, 'there's some sort of large rodent thing here.'" Hotel came, grabbed it, left.

- Island day trip. Small planes. They had to get 100+ people back before dark because the runway had no lights. They didn't make it. Stranded overnight, no runway lights, one employee receiving a stranger's IV, all of them in matching tank tops.

Nearly a decade later, most of them still work together and still talk about it.

$500k couldn't buy that.

@abcnews any plans to add ‘start over’ functionality to iview? 7 and 9 have it. Means when you want to watch news at 7.10 you can catch up from the start rather then having to wait for the entire bulletin to finish broadcasting and come online.

@DaveSharma @grok assuming this is correct what are the top 3 causes

[Peter Scobie @pscobie]

@eddieoliver_g @au_samschriever Many migrants build homes, staff hospitals, teach, transport goods and run services. Cutting them often raises costs by worsening labour shortages.

if gov use growth to prop up GDP, the answer is better rules so supply gains translate into lower costs, not just higher numbers.

[Peter Scobie @pscobie]

@GbellOz @BGatesIsaPyscho Calling it simple doesn’t make it simple. Violence patterns vary by place, time and trigger - ignoring that is ideology over evidence. Freedom matters for sure, but so does responsibility. Governments already shape safety but the real question is how wisely, not whether.

[Peter Scobie @pscobie]

@eddieoliver_g @au_samschriever Demand matters, but supply is the main constraint. Cutting migration without fixing planning delays, skills shortages and construction bottlenecks just pauses the problem. Cut bad red tape, boost build capacity, align growth with housing - do all three!

[Peter Scobie @pscobie]

@Sir_Merc @MaxJames81396 @diggerdeegs @au_samschriever Slowing migration might give a short-term perception of relief, but without addressing why we underbuild housing in the first place, the problem will come back as soon as demand picks up again.

[Peter Scobie @pscobie]

@MarcoBogaers @au_samschriever Melb’s population rise has broader drivers - internal migration, natural increase + economic opportunity, not solely overseas arrivals.
Policy should target housing supply, planning reform and infrastructure rather than assuming that cutting numbers is the most effective solve
