                      About 4million - including many heath professionals, and oddly enough even skeptics - have apparently died of psychosomatic corona, no doubt induced by mhod-19 (mass hysterical ovine disease). Thankfully you have a natural immunity to mhod-19 so should never need medical assistance.

          Actually no. As someone with a Law degree and spending his days negotiating for a living, good luck to you with that lawsuit. As a business owner, he or she is entitled to offer promotions based on whatever criteria they feel appropriate. It would be a different story if instead of providing an incentive to some, he/she was imposing a penalty on others. You lose nothing by not being vaccinated here. You just don't gain as much as someone else could for being vaccinated. There is a difference here

          Its not comparable to when a business refuses to serve someone or hire someone based on sexuality, race or any other factors which may usually constitute discrimination. You're not being discriminated against here as the business owner is entitled to provide a reward to anybody. He or she could say 'I love blue hair so anyone who dyes their hair blue gets 3 free months.' Its also no different to all those pubs out there giving a free beer to anyone who has been vaccinated. Its an incentive, not a penalty

            @[Deactivated]: Would they be able to ask if, say, someone was transgender? And act in a certain way depending on the response?

            • [Deactivated] on 10/08/2021 - 15:31
              +5

              @BrownBargain: The key to that is what 'a certain way' is. Like everything in the law, there is rarely black and white. Its nearly all grey.

              Lets say an ice cream shop owner asked 'are you transgender?' Firstly, you'd be under no obligation to answer. However, lets say you said no and then they suddenly gave you an extra serve of topping on your ice cream or an extra scoop, it would be tough to prove wrongdoing on their part.

              If another person answered 'yes' to their question and then they didn't get an extra serve of topping, again, its very tough to prove any wrongdoing because really, they didn't need to give anybody extra of anything. The transgender person would have paid the amount they should have paid for what they then received. The fact someone else got a little more doesn't prove wrongdoing.

              This is quite different to a situation whereby say a baker refuses to make a cake for a gay wedding. A few cases like this have happened overseas and there have been conflicting judgements, where a District court has sided with the baker only to have the next court up overturn that judgement and so on and so on.

              I know that doesn't answer your question, but in short, its all grey and it really depends on the circumstances. To me, it appears that where you deny someone a benefit they were entitled to (because they paid for it for example) due to sex, race, religion etc, you've discriminated against them. However, where you haven't gone the extra mile when you didn't need to anyway (as with the OP here offering free months he doesn't owe to anyone), then it would be hard to argue discrimination.

              However, I do believe I'd be able to win arguing both ways ;)

              The privacy legislation does not establish a cause of action against a person that requests a potentially protected information. Regardless, vaccination status is not protected.

                  If we were using that advice we would probably get less than a kilobit data transfer.

                  There's good reason why they use ever increasing density of cells in a data hungry world. The lower the frequency, and the lower the modulation (freakin FM as opposed to QAM or other modern modulations 😂😂😂) the lower the data throughput.

                  God damn man, you are the best example of the Dunning Kruger effect I've ever seen.

                      @[Deactivated]:

                      In basic terms the CARRIER FREQUENCY doesn't change the amount of DATA you can pump through it.

                      I didn't say the carrier frequency. Given that carriers have larger available bandwidth in the higher frequency ranges, why do you think they use that for smaller cells? They can generally use more complex modulations at higher frequencies due to less noise and smaller cell sizes.

                      They couldn't use shortwave bands, as per your example, for multiple reasons, no carrier could get a contiguous 5MHz of bandwidth in that band (since each .1MHz window is used by something), and even if they could, they couldn't get much throughput on it since it would be such a small chunk of bandwidth with such a crappy modulation.

                      Ozbargain would never ever load.

                      It's like claiming because 56K modems worked on copper phone lines, that ADSL2+ could never have existed on the same lines.

                      I don't even know how this analogy was meant to work.

                  I've had much to do communication transmitters
                  We should be using low frequencies, say from the 13 meter band or lower, transmitting an AM carrier wave with FM modulation superimposed.

                  so like 20MHz and up? Great for range or running a HAM radio setup. Terrible if you want to transmit things with any kind of bandwidth and also incredibly bad for channel allocation in dense populated areas

                  So our phones for example would have a much greater range, which would mean fewer towers spaced further apart,

                  yes, but with much much (MUCH) lower bandwidth capabilities. Let alone incredibly reduced channel sharing ability, so fine if its only 1 person per tower.

                  and FM modulation would allow for digital to limit the ability of most people to decode calls/text.

                  yeah, nah . That doesnt make any sense at all.
                  The modulation of the signal makes no difference to its ability to be encrypted, and modulation isnt an encryption.

                  Your 'much to do' with communications transmitters must be limited to things like ham radio setups with that kind of info

      I'm not that concerned about forgery. If someone is that keen to save $15 they'll forge a COVID vaccination certificate, they're welcome to get a free 3 month subscription to my newsletter.

        If I could only choose one, this newsletter or MorningBrew newsletter?

          The Sizzle has news that's focused on Australia, and also some international stuff. But afaik MorningBrew is purely international?

          I use a few newsletters because of this, you get a nice broad list of articles you can read.

          I'm biased - but MorningBrew and The Sizzle are very different. MorningBrew seems to be more startup/crypto/finance focused. Today's issue for example had totally different topics in it than today's issue of the Morning Brew. Also The Sizzle is heavily Australian - I'll write about the NBN, or what the Australian government is up to. Morning Brew won't.

        Some of the most upvoted deals on this site are for a free $2.

          She's running Aged Care facilities in Switzerland, nowadays!

            @Wally: Rofl! I hadn't even thought of her for at least a decade. But JV makes the mind…..go places.

      The offer is valid until 80% of the country is vaccinated. Plenty of time to get vaccinated and then claim your reward! :)
