Doesn't exactly hit your question but gives a good overview.


HN follows the "First Rule of ARIA Use"[1] making ARIA attributes unnecessary.

Awesome project! I just made https://rave.dj/0GU6N96tgPXj9Q and it's awesome! love being able to use a Spotify playlist.

Have you considered using BunnyCDN instead of Stackpath for the CDN? It'll probably be much cheaper.


Tasmania got very lucky with the rollout, we are mostly covered with FTTP, Fixed Wireless and only some FTTN.

We are also lucky enough to have a local business (Launtel) pushing the constraints of the NBN by offering Gigabit at prices that aren't unreasonable ($14.50/day). They are treating it as a new pricing model, why bill the same as ADSL when there are no costs associated with setup and plan changes? They are billing daily which allows more flexibility meaning you could spin up a connection for a day (At an Airbnb for example) or change speed depending on your usage.

This is all in beta for them at the moment and only available in Tasmania. Here is a speedtest I ran yesterday from my home FTTP connection https://www.speedtest.net/result/6738001151.png


The fact that you get that where as the majority get up-to 12 Mbps is enough to make me cry. I am still waiting for any connection and happy that at least my ADSL2+ gets 15 Mbps solid pretty much 100% of the time.

I think the only way I could ever be happy with how the NBN story finishes if if Turnbull and Abbott serve gaol time for deliberately acting against the best interests of Australia and its people.


$14.50/day is "not unreasonable" for a home connection only if there is literally no competition with anything approaching acceptable speeds.


> offering Gigabit at prices that aren't unreasonable ($14.50/day).

$14.50/day = $450/mo. That sounds unreasonable to me.


Wow. Just wow. My advice is buy cheap real estate and start an internatianal incubator. The weather alone should keep people indoors and focused... only half joking!


It was like I had jumped into the future when this was connected.

The Tasmanian Government is actually offering grants to incubators at the moment http://www.startuptasmania.com/incubator-support
