"Khalili’s working definition, plainspoken and powerful, anchors the book. Extractive Capitalism, she argues, is the system by which primary commodities (oil, iron ore, bauxite, coal, sand) are excavated, transported, processed and sold at markups that funnel profits to a narrow investor class while externalising costs on to workers, communities and the environment."

The Murray-Darling Basin
A comprehensive evaluation of water reform in the country's largest river system

"Without bold action to recover more water, rivers that sustain life across south-eastern Australia potentially face collapse."

"There's a really important sentence in the opening of their evaluation report where they acknowledge that First Nations had been intentionally excluded from the way water is managed across Australia...First Nations peoples have been here caring for water for 65,000 years."

National Environmental Standards

Create new, legally enforceable national environmental standards to deliver better environmental protection or continue with the big quarry model this term?

"Nature doesn’t negotiate. Nature is a system of systems, and if we take too much from it those systems begin to break down – usually irreversibly."

🚀 Breaking news: Extracting text from PDFs is hard! Who knew? Apparently, PDFs are just #graphics and not text files. 🤯 Let's all bow down to the #wizards who bravely map glyphs to coordinates. 🧙‍♂️✨

www.marginalia.nu · PDF to Text, a challenging problemThe search engine has recently gained the ability to index the PDF file format. The change will deploy over a few months. Extracting text information from PDFs is a significantly bigger challenge than it might seem. The crux of the problem is that the file format isn’t a text format at all, but a graphical format. It doesn’t have text in the way you might think of it, but more of a mapping of glyphs to coordinates on “paper”.
