I can say from experience, it is very hard to write code to generate tournament tables that reflect the head to head rules, because you dont know till end of the pool games where tie breaks are needed.
These are the games that matter : Pol 66 Isr 64 Isr 82 Fr 69 FR 83 Pol 76 from those 3 games, I get points diff as ISR +11, Pol -5, FR -6
I haven't looked at the specifically games here but generally FIBA rules for tournaments is that only head to head games count for tiebreaking, I think the PD in that table is probably against ALL opponents

I have devised a foolproof age verification system to ensure that only older Australians can access social media sites. I have sent my invoice to the federal government. Thankyou for your attention to this matter
Does the fact Higgins won on 2 of the 4 claims factor into costs?
Maybe the 2 teams can save on costs and share a bus up from Canberra to Terrigal.
I am looking forward to seeing what she does for the Flames as well sydneyflames.wnbl.com.au/players/grac...
Yeah the noise over the removal of those definitions is a total red herring. Even under the prior wording, as proven in DSS vs SRA (1993), Roxy is a woman in Australian law.
Silvereyes are a very cool bird that i never even knew existed till I took a photo of one
FYI - there is now an open file! www.fedcourt.gov.au/services/acc...
Grover that she knew of RTs Gender Identity. Do you see a way that this would be overcome? I.e Either an argument that knowledge of her GI was not required element of direct discrimination, OR evidence that Grover did in fact know her GI?
I have read the judgement in the original case and heard a little bit (only) of yesterday's case . I also tried to follow monday and today via ppl livetweeting. The difficulty with a direct discrimination finding as I understand it from original judgement is there was no evidence put to (1/2)
actually you may be right that TvG wasnt livestreamed. The appeal certainly will be though - you can see that in the court list notice here: www.fedcourt.gov.au/court-calend...
there was (and still is) an open file for the original hearing, which you can see here : www.fedcourt.gov.au/services/acc... And it was also livestreamed - the streams are only visible 'live' they are not archived.
Hopefully the court will get sick of having to review individual access requests and create an open file
Its a bit odd and annoying that the original case was deemed to be of sufficient public interest to warrant an online file, but not the appeal.
thanks. So no public file yet, but did find this www.comcourts.gov.au/file/Federal...
the original case was in the federal court (www.fedcourt.gov.au/services/acc... ) but the appeal is to the high court, isn't it?
unfortunately theres not documents published yet - I assume they would show up here www.hcourt.gov.au/cases-and-ju... I was hoping to see what the grounds for appeal are going to be.
I hadn't heard of that before but looks interesting. I thought you maybe meant something to do with "Alone"

Am way at the edge of my understanding, but I seem to recall that one of the effects of distortion (overdrive) is it adds harmonic overtones. i.e. an octave, maybe a 4th or 5th as well. So a completely accurate sheet music for clean guitar would have to include those overtones.
How is this an active market if the close date (June 30 2025) is in the past?
Snapped my first rockwarbler. These are the only #5bird that is endemic to NSW. Looks a bit like a thornbill but it hops around on the ground rather than flitting from bush to bush.
Is the wifi or ethernet port accessible from the C64? e.g. as an emulated RR-NET or ETH64?
A Crimson Rosella was hanging out in the yard this morning
New toy seems to have done the trick. Cleaned up a mess in the yard and scored a few days worth of firewood
It's mainly for cutting branches for firewood when camping
Good lord what have I done? Guess I better read the manual while the battery charges.
So much art has been destroyed or buried. But there is still connections with the original cultures to be found, just short distance from bitumen and steel
The blue mountains is a maze of sandstone ridges, there's only a few possible routes across, and the highways and towns are all on top of ancient pathways.
This was our second visit - we had a very vague tip that a particular group of ridges were worth exploring, I was not prepared for how amazing the spot is though. .
An amazing day to be out hiking in the blue mountains. Had the incredible privilege of finding a shelter cave with intact art. Ochre stencils plus black charcoal drawings which I dont want to disclose as they are too distinctive.

well apart from the obvious counterexamples of people who were not registered at all.
I was originally looking at this to see if there were any counterexamples to assumption within EHRC proposed defintion of "legal sex", that every person has in fact had a binary sex record at time of birth
When I look at the current Tas legislation, it reads to me as if it is still mandatory to have a binary sex be part of the original registration? I mean whats recorded in the registry, not the birth certificate www.legislation.tas.gov.au/view/html/in...
Are there any governments where a binary sex is not recorded as a mandatory part of registering a birth? I found a few news articles about tas considering making sex be an optional part of initial reg around 2018 but doesn't seem to have been enacted

Preferential voting was brought in by (what is now) the coalition, specifically to stop the anti-labor vote being split. If they went back to FPP it would kill the liberals.
He accepts the judgement but also intends to challenge it. What does "accept" even mean?
It's a kaossilator which is a "beatbox" synth - built in drum rhythm plus a bass/keyboard melody that plays different pitch depending on where on the screen you press.
The kaosspad will automatically sync to the beat of whatever sound is sent to it, which can be really mesmerising, especially on things like an echo delay.
Top left- drum machine Top right - bass synth (tb-303 clone) Bottom left is a mixer Bottom right is a kaos pad - all sorts of fun audio effects (delays, filters, sampler)
Maybe we could agree to buy some submarines?

To be fair, the fact that dem=left and republican=right is also a relatively recent phenomenon - it's not a fundamental part of the party platform like UK Labour / Conservatives.
This changes everything.

Went to check out the funky little underground art gallery near soldiers pinch. Very enjoyable.
These grants have been going on for decades, you may be thinking of the "Building the Education Revolution" grants that Gillard govt which were used as stimulus during the GFC (and also were available to public schools). Anyway glad you agree that capital grants to rich private schools should stop.
the biggest rort the big private schools get is federal govt capital grants, i.e. for building projects like the private castle Scots College just unveiled. this is ONLY given to private schools. www.education.gov.au/other-common...
If that's all they got, you may have a point. But they get more- which is absurd and unfair.
They are absolutely getting more than their far share. It's ridiculous for private schools to get more government funding than public schools do. www.nswtf.org.au/news/2024/09...

When you tell a child not to touch the glowing red stove top burner because it will burn them, but they don't believe you so they touch it. And get their hand burnt.
I do believe HP Lovecraft wrote "That is not dead which can eternal lie..." after a dream about Perl. Agree about regex's though (maybe with Python)
Yep www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Yeah after reading that article I now reckon most likely someone fact fingered a country code while doing data entry on a customs form once and some random container from China or whatever got misattributed as being from Norfolk.
Or just bad data www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
My guess is the "export" would be tourism. I.e. total of whatever US tourists spend on N.I. is 60% more than whatever N.I. buys from the U.S.
Pitcairn no, Norfolk Island is though
So basically- the tariffs were working great, until woke elites told lies about them, and the lies made a bunch of businesses go bust
Step 2 - tell the audience that anything they observe themselves (empty shelves, getting laid off, etc) is because of the economic impacts of the lies claimed in step 1.
My prediction is it will be the following 2 step tango. Step 1 - claim "woke elites " are lying when they report bad things are happening (stock markets down, unemployment up etc).
So the (current) answer is no, as the tarrifs currently apply to goods only, not services
Operating systems.
I bet that for a lot of the smaller countries (Laos, Reunion, Tonga etc) their main "export" to the US is actually tourism.
It's actually a bit surreal being on the edges of high level basketball in aus, lots of kids still working very hard towards earning a college stint. There's only a few who can see how much things are changing. Am wondering if/when some of the kids with D1 offers actually start backing out.
Am curious whether the tarrifs will apply to NBA contracts for European players, and if so does that get included in salary cap calculations. Great news for the raptors if so!

The 'uber tribunal' of course is the international Court for Arbitration in Sport www.tas-cas.org/en/jurisprud...
NZ has its own version of a national sports tribunal, which hears appeals from decisions made within each individual sport sportstribunal.org.nz/results/
One admirable exception is Football Australia www.footballaustralia.com.au/governance/t...
Unfortunatly not many Australian sports bodies seem to have the RFU's level of transparency. But if somebody appeals a decision made by their sports peak national body, that appeal goes to the National Sports Tribunal, which does publish its decisions www.nationalsportstribunal.gov.au/decisions
My latest fascination is reading sports tribunal decisions / appeals. So much pettiness, pedantry and drama. This thread is to catalogue tribunals I have found that publish decisions online. First up, the RFU (which is where I started) www.englandrugby.com/run/rules-go...
Is he really proposing to stop shovelling public funds towards private schools? Sounds pretty good! Not sure it's a winner with the typical Liberal party voter though?
