If it is like a trust, then it will have the equivalent of a trust deed.
A trust deed, states the purpose of the trust, what it's goals are etc... The trustees make decisions in the best interest of the trust to fulfil trust deed.
So if is like a trust, decisions should be made in the BEST INTEREST of the mountain to fulfil its stated goals.
In ten years there will be a bold imitative to embrace history, return to the roots and past culture of excellence. It will be re-branded to Athletics Australia.
Maybe, but I have had all of my family on Signal for close to 9 years now. Inertia and the network effect is a big part of why platforms stay around.
It took me saying to my mum, that I would ONLY share pictures of her new grandson on Signal to get her to install it. Once mum was on board, the rest followed pretty quickly.
The thought of getting mum to install a new messaging app now, and she is nearly 10 years older. Well it isn't worth the effort. My threat threat model is low enough, to choose the convenience/security slider at Signal.
As a side note, every month or two; another of my contacts shows up on Signal. I have around 50 contacts using Signal now, as I said before around 98% of my messaging is through Signal.
While there may be better options out there, from a purely security standpoint.
The real world, with non-tech people needs solutions that are easy, fast and as close to foolproof as possible.
I choose Signal, because my mum, my sisters and brothers (none of which are tech people) can all go to their app stores and install Signal, it works and it is easy. Signal is private BY DEFAULT, I don't have to remind them to turn on security for each chat, there is voice and video chat for individuals and groups, I can use it to send files. It is really good. Secure communication is their primary goal.
I have been using Signal since it was called TextSecure and I only had one contact using it.
Yes it sucked when they dropped SMS support; but these days about 98% of my messaging goes through Signal. Any SMS is usually from my doctor/dentist/bank.
I never really trusted Telegram, too many compromises. Secure communication is not their primary goal.
Well having a personal car is expensive...but well not exactly unnecessary. Wellington and Auckland have reasonable public transport. Bike lanes are not a thing really.
Labour was hugely popular, I agree, but the popularity left when Jacinda Ardern left. She was a extremely charismatic figure; and Labour was at the end of two terms (6 years); with the halo effect gone a lot of the poor decisions they made were highlighted (a lot of the times unfairly).
National along with Act and NZ First, pushed hard on the government debt rhetoric during the last election. Blaming Labour for inflation, which it had little control over, but it didn't matter the populous were hurting from low wage growth and high inflation. They were looking for a change.
The center right bloc won with a decent majority, though not specular.
National fucked up hard! during the negotiations with Act and NZ First. Luxon in a rush to form a government; gave away so much it is frankly baffling.
In NZ politics:
The Green Party has stated they will never work with National or Act.
Labour have said they will not work with Act.
This forces Act to only be able to side with National, from Nationals point of view Act should be a minor player on the right of National.
NZ First are a bit of a wild card, Winston Peters the leader is an old cunning and in my opinion untrustworthy ally.
Te Pati Maori (TPM) will work with both parties, which ever gives them the most of what they want.
National could have gone with TPM or NZF along with Act to form a government, they choose to go with NZF and between Winston Peters and David Seymour; got played like a fiddle. In one crazy political power play, Luxon had a meeting setup to negotiate with Winston and David, they didn't bother showing up and made him come to them in another city.
I could go on but, the politics here is just as complex as anywhere else. Overall we have shifted right, further than we traditionally have but not too much further.
The current government has made some truly stupid calls, and has scored a lot of own goals. Their popularity is very low this early in a parliamentary term. They have been in for a little more than a year; if things keep going the way they are, they may be the first one term government we have had in a long time. Our term of 3 years, is short, so most governments get more than one term to show what they are made of.
If someone is proposing a simple solution to a complex problem, there is a good chance they don't understand it or they are trying to control your opinions.
If you receive some information (no matter how) and you feel a strong emotion, be extra skeptical.
I dual booted for a while, one day I realised that I hadn't booted into windows for 3 months. At that point I reinstalled, no more dual booting. I haven't looked back.
I keep a windows VM, currently has Win10 installed, I haven't had to use it in about 3 years.
My advice is, keep dual booting. One day you'll realise that booting into windows feels like a chore, you haven't done it in months, so why keep it around....
This has a caveat though, you have to assume that both cars are the same mass.
If a truck hits a car head on, it is likely that the car doesn't go just to 0 but to some -ve number as the much more massive truck plows through the car and reverses its direction.

Maybe we shouldn't have been investing so heavily into peaker plants. Rather we should have invested into renewables.
