Des millions d’utilisateurs de Reddit frappés par une panne de 2 heures pendant le “Blackout Day”
Spread the love

Reddit a été frappé par une panne mondiale affectant des millions d’utilisateurs alors que les forums “s’éteignent” pour protester contre l’augmentation des frais de développement du site Web.

Des problèmes avec des problèmes sur le site Web et l’application sont apparus sur DownDetector, un site qui surveille les pannes en ligne, à 10 h 25 HE – mais les rapports se sont dissipés environ deux heures plus tard.

On ne sait pas pourquoi Reddit était en panne lundi, mais cela s’est produit lorsque plus de 7 000 sous-reddits sont passés au privé lors de la plus grande manifestation en ligne dirigée par les utilisateurs.

Le mouvement est frustré par les changements de prix des frais de développement, qui pourraient représenter des millions de dollars pour certains utilisateurs.

La manifestation devrait durer 48 heures, mais certains utilisateurs ont averti qu’ils ne rendraient pas les pages au public si Reddit ne reconsidérait pas l’augmentation des tarifs des applications qui donnent accès au site.

Les utilisateurs ont afflué sur Twitter pour s’enquérir d’une éventuelle panne frappant Reddit, avec un tweet : “C’est bien de voir même Reddit lui-même participer au Reddit Blackout aujourd’hui.”

Qu’est-ce que Reddit ?

Reddit a été lancé en 2005 en tant que lieu permettant aux utilisateurs d’explorer différents sujets organisés en sous-reddits – plus de 100 000.

Quelques exemples populaires sont News, Movies, Funny, IAmA, Pics et LifeProTips.

Les utilisateurs s’abonnent à ces forums, ce qui leur permet de voir de nouveaux messages et d’interagir avec d’autres partagés par les membres.

Les autres utilisateurs peuvent ensuite déterminer la popularité d’un message en votant pour ou en votant contre le message.

Et plus les votes positifs poussent le message plus haut dans le subreddit.

Qu’est-ce que le Blackout Day ?

Les utilisateurs ont interdit ensemble pour protester contre l’annonce d’avril de Reddit qui a révélé qu’il augmentait les frais à partir du 1er juillet.

Le changement va facturer aux développeurs l’accès à son interface de programmation d’application (API) pour des tiers avec “des capacités supplémentaires, des limites d’utilisation plus élevées et des droits d’utilisation plus larges”.

Alors que Reddit voit le changement comme un moyen de soutenir son avenir, les développeurs ont riposté, affirmant qu’il détruirait le leur.

Christian Selig, le développeur de l’application cliente Reddit Apollo, a déclaré que l’augmentation des prix de la nouvelle tarification lui coûterait jusqu’à 20 millions de dollars par an, rapporte Variety.

Apollo permet aux utilisateurs de visualiser le contenu de nombreuses sources, telles que Imgur, Reddit et YouTube, en un seul endroit.

Les autres applications populaires qui se connectent à Reddit incluent Reddit is Fun, Sync et ReddPlanet.

Selig a poursuivi en expliquant que cela signifie qu’Apollo prévoit d’arrêter les opérations le 30 juin.

Le site Web d'actualités sociales est tombé en panne tandis que plus de 6 500 sous-reddits se sont éteints dans l'une des plus grandes manifestations menées par les utilisateurs en raison des nouveaux frais de développement

Il a tweeté à propos du Blackout Sunday, remerciant “la communauté Reddit et tous ceux qui se sont levés”.

Les utilisateurs de Twitter, Rebecca Sloane, ont répondu: «Je me suis fortement appuyé sur un groupe de soutien subreddit pendant une période difficile de ma vie.

“Pendant des mois, Apollo a été la première application que j’ai ouverte au réveil et la dernière que j’ai fermée avant de m’endormir.”

Les sous-reddits pour les jeux, avec plus de 37 millions de membres, et la musique, avec plus de 32 millions d’utilisateurs, sont devenus privés.

Des milliers d’autres forums ont rejoint le mouvement, certains comptant plus de 40 millions de membres.

Qu’a dit Reddit ?

Le PDG de Reddit, Steve Huffman, a abordé les “frustrations” des utilisateurs dans un message publié vendredi sur le site, expliquant comment les changements fonctionneront.

« À compter du 1er juillet 2023, le tarif pour les applications qui nécessitent des limites d’utilisation plus élevées est de 0,24 $ par 1 000 appels d’API (moins de 1,00 $ par utilisateur/mois pour une application tierce Reddit typique) », a écrit Hoffman.

Il a poursuivi: “Reddit doit être une entreprise autonome et pour ce faire, nous ne pouvons plus subventionner les entités commerciales qui nécessitent une utilisation de données à grande échelle.”

Alors que Hoffman envisage l’avenir de Reddit, cette décision pourrait obliger certains développeurs d’applications à fermer.

La principale source de revenus de Reddit était auparavant ses ventes publicitaires et ses abonnements premium.

Le site Web de la société a publié en avril : “Nous travaillons à la création d’un écosystème plus durable et plus sain autour des données sur Reddit, et continuons à déployer des outils de modération pour les applications natives de Reddit.”

“Pour garantir que les développeurs disposent des outils et des informations dont ils ont besoin pour continuer à utiliser Reddit en toute sécurité, protéger la confidentialité et la sécurité de nos utilisateurs et respecter les réglementations locales, nous mettons à jour la manière dont certains peuvent accéder à l’API Reddit Data :

“Nous introduisons un nouveau point d’accès premium pour les tiers qui ont besoin de capacités supplémentaires, de limites d’utilisation plus élevées et de droits d’utilisation plus larges[…]

Florida issues Hurricane Rafael advisory as tracker shows storm is ‘likely to cause life-threatening’ conditions

Florida issues Hurricane Rafael advisory as tracker shows storm is ‘likely to cause life-threatening’ conditions
Spread the love

Florida’s hurricane center has predicted that Hurricane Rafael is ‘likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions’ over the next few days.

Rafael, currently a Category 2 hurricane, is trekking deeper into the Gulf of Mexico on a northwestward path toward Texas.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) Miami stated that the storm ‘remains a powerful compact hurricane over the central Gulf of Mexico,’ generating swells that will cause the dangerous surf and rip current conditions off the Florida coast.

‘Southwesterly winds feeding into Hurricane Rafael are causing scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over the east-central and southeastern Gulf, including waters near Key West, Florida,’ NHC stated.

Forecast models predict a significant shift in the Rafael’s path, decreasing its chances of smashing into the US – but a likely path is still unclear.

The NHC shows the storm will be its closest to Texas by Sunday and likely take a sharp motion south and move onto Tabasco, but noted there’s ‘above average uncertainty in the future track of Rafael.’

But what is clear is that Rafael has lost some steam after barreling over Cuba as a Category 3 hurricane Wednesday, bringing bringing torrential rain and strong winds that reached 105 mph that knocked out the entire country’s power grid. 

‘For the forecast, Hurricane Rafael will see some fluctuations in intensity today. By tonight, a steady weakening trend is forecast and should continue through the weekend,’ shared the NHC.

The unpredictable path has changed dramatically this week.

Spaghetti models – so-called because the lines resemble strands of pasta – on Tuesday showed Rafael possibly reaching Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana by Saturday.

And on Wednesday, the NHC issued an alert for tropical storm conditions in the  Florida Keys and warned locals to secure loose outdoor objects due to strong winds and flooding.

AccuWeather meteorologists then said Thursday that the probability of it making landfall in the US is ‘extremely low.’ 

Friday’s forecast, however, revealed the US will likely be spared – as of now. 

Models released today show one path to Florida, which has the lowest chances, but NHC’s update showed that Rafael is expected to move over the central Gulf of Mexico for the next few days.’

‘Interests in the southern and southwestern Gulf of Mexico should monitor the progress of Rafael,’ the agency continued.

‘Swells generated by Rafael are expected to spread across most of the Gulf of Mexico during the next few days.

‘These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.’

The storm's path has been very unpredictable, but NHC believes it will move closer to Texas then take a sharp path south toward Mexico

Rafael is the 17th named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, but it is very rare for hurricanes to hit the US in November.

That is due to it being the last month of the season, and favorable conditions for tropical storm formation have decreased.

A total of 287 hurricanes have made landfall in the US since record keeping began in 1851, and of those, only four hit in November.

The most recent one – Hurricane Nicole – hit Florida in November 2022. Before that, the US hadn’t seen a November hurricane since Katie in 1985.

However, Rafael is the strongest hurricane to move through the northwestern Caribbean in November since 2009.

Nine storms – including Rafael – have rapidly intensified in the Atlantic basin this year, fueled by unprecedentedly high ocean temperatures.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) held a live briefing in May to discuss the preseason outlook, forecasting 25 named storms that could result in up to 13 hurricanes.

And while we are nearing the end of the season, NHC said last month that three more storms could form in the Atlantic and Rafael was the first to appear.

AccuWeather lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva said: ‘We may even see a tropical storm in December this year. It doesn’t happen very often, but the very warm sea surface temperatures could make it possible this year.’

How the Trump triumph can perk up all our portfolios

How the Trump triumph can perk up all our portfolios
Spread the love

So, have you checked your investment portfolio yet? At such a pivotal moment as a US election result, it’s tempting to scrutinise how your nest egg has been affected – and to have a tinker based on what you think lies ahead.

After all, the action may be playing out across the pond, but there is no doubt Donald Trump’s game-changing win will have huge ramifications for all our futures.

Bold investors may spy investing opportunities amid the change and volatility – and take a punt with money they can afford to lose.

Our unparalleled Midas column, overleaf, has some excellent UK company ideas for such investors. Here on Mail+ you can read online some of the global companies that could benefit from a Trump win.

But, if you’re saving for the long term and looking to protect and steadily grow your wealth, stock picking may not be for you.

Here’s how to assess what a Trump win could mean for your portfolio and what – if anything – you need to do to keep yourself on course for the next four years and beyond.

1 Hold US shares– but under 60 per cent of your total

How the Trump triumph can perk up all our portfolios

The US stock market is simply too big to ignore

Whether elated or distraught at the Trump victory you should have a good chunk of US company shares in your investment portfolio.

The US stock market is simply too big to ignore. Its companies make up more than 60 per cent of the global stock market by value. What’s more, much of the recent growth has come from North American firms.

A good strategy to keep a handle on risk in your portfolio is to buy a bit of everything – investments from all around the globe and in all different sectors.

That way, if one area is struggling it shouldn’t have too much of an impact on your returns as it only makes up a small proportion of your total investments.

If you want a portfolio totally free of bias, that simply represents the global stock market, you would have about 60 per cent of shares in US firms. But most UK investors choose to hold extra in UK companies – known as a home bias.

And many investors have more or less in different sectors depending on which they expect to perform best over the long term.

Evangelos Assimakos, investment director at Rathbones Investment Management, explains: ‘How much you should allocate to the US depends on how much risk you want to take.

‘Around a quarter to a third of your exposure to the stock market is a good starting point. Unless you invest in the US, you will miss out on some of the biggest growth areas at the moment, such as technology companies.

‘The UK doesn’t have its own Microsoft, Google parent company Alphabet, or chipmaker Nvidia, for example.’

2 Market reactions can be misleading

Global financial markets responded rapidly to the news of Trump’s win. The S&P 500 index of the biggest US companies hit a record high, the dollar achieved its highest level in over four months, the gold price fell – and the cryptocurrency Bitcoin rose to a new record.

But don’t assume these initial market reactions are setting the tone for the next four years – they may not be a good indicator of the longer-term trends.

Damien Fahy, founder of personal finance website Money To The Masses, says: ‘Long-term investors shouldn’t have a knee-jerk reaction to what is happening in markets right now. History and their own experience (they probably invested through Trump’s first term in office), should teach them to cut through the noise surrounding the election outcome.’

Fahy gives the example of the US dollar, which surged on the news of Trump’s victory as it did when he won eight years ago.

‘If we go back to 2016, the pound tumbled against the US dollar after Trump’s first election victory and by January 2017 it was just above $1.20,’ he says. ‘Yet by January 2018 the pound was above $1.40, before ultimately falling back. A Trump victory doesn’t automatically mean the US dollar will strengthen.’ Thomas Becket, co-chief investment officer at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, sees a similar trend in the green renewable technology sector, an area that Trump has expressed dislike for. He prefers fossil fuels.

‘Companies in this sector were among the worst performers when the election result came in,’ says Becket. ‘But I wouldn’t necessarily extrapolate that into the future.

‘Under the first Trump administration, the best performing sector was renewable technology. Ultimately, most of these companies are achieving the profits that they said they would, and if investors liked them three years ago, there must be even more to like now because they are cheaper.’

3 Stronger US dollar may give double boost

Darius McDermott, of FundCalibre, advises investors to keep an eye on the US currency

Darius McDermott, of FundCalibre, advises investors to keep an eye on the US currency

A powerful US dollar against sterling is bad news for Britons holidaying in the States.

And there is no guarantee that the recent surge in the dollar will be sustained.

But, if the dollar does remain strong, your portfolio could profit. That’s because if you buy an investment in US dollars and the currency strengthens, you will benefit both from any increase in the investment returns and from its higher value once changed back into pounds again.

Darius McDermott, managing director of investment research agency FundCalibre, says: ‘DIY investors often overlook the implications of currency fluctuations, but they can significantly impact portfolios.

‘For UK investors holding US dollar-domiciled assets, the strengthening dollar against the pound enhances the value of those investments at the point of sale, with a favourable exchange rate when converting back to sterling.’

However, bear in mind that the advantage can reverse if the dollar weakens, making non-UK investments just that bit riskier.

That’s one of the reasons why UK investors tend to have a home bias, so that they are earning income in the same currency that they spend.

4 Check which US companies you hold

If you’ve not checked on your US holdings for a long time, there is a good chance you have massive holdings in a very small number. That is because a handful of companies have driven most of the growth over the past few months.

The so-called Magnificent Seven companies (Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, Meta and Tesla) make up about a third of the value of the top 500 companies in the US.

It makes sense to hold them in your portfolio – you are likely to by default if you have invested in a US or global fund. But make sure you are holding a proportion that you are comfortable with.

Cannacord’s Becket adds that a broader set of companies may benefit from a Trump government. ‘There could be greater participation in the rally from some sectors that have lagged behind for so long, such as the banks and smaller companies,’ he says.

Becket doesn’t recommend simply buying a large number of bank shares, but says investors should check they have a breadth of US companies. Evangelos Assimakos agrees. ‘Every party comes to an end and the value of these seven companies can’t keep rising for ever,’ he says.

5 Prepare for higher inflation

We do not know yet which of the policies president-elect Trump has suggested he might bring in, he will actually carry out.

But yields on US and UK government debt – known as Treasuries and gilts respectively – have risen following his election, suggesting that investors think his actions will cause higher inflation in the UK and US.

Measures announced in last month’s UK Budget, such as the increased minimum wage and the National Insurance rise for employers, may also push inflation higher.

It’s worth thinking about how higher inflation might affect your portfolio in the future.

Becket suggests that shorter- dated gilts and Treasuries may be a good option so that you’re not locked in a lower yield if rates do rise. ‘The yield on ten-year gilts is around 4.5 per cent,’ he says. ‘If you lend to the UK government over 30 years instead of ten, you get very little additional premium – around 30 basis points – so I don’t think it is a risk worth taking.’

If you are worried about higher inflation, Becket also suggests investments that have inflation protection, such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). These are issued by the US government and are linked to inflation.

6 Hang on to your gold investment

Gold can be a useful element of an investment portfolio – it may not pay any income, but it can work as a store of value.

Its price fell immediately after the election result, but that doesn’t mean that you should ditch your holding.

Assimakos says the investment case remains as strong, and the sell-off may have been driven in part by investors taking profits. ‘Investors may have been following the strategy “Buy the rumour, sell the fact”. In other words, they bought gold on the expectation that Trump would win, which drove up the price, and then sold off to make a profit.

‘Gold works as a long-term preserver of value, especially when governments introduce policies that create inflation, which erodes the purchasing power of their citizens.’

7 You may not have to do anything

It is a good idea to go through your portfolio every few months to make sure that your goals are on track and your strategy is working.

But Rathbones’ Assimakos warns that ‘getting caught up in the noise and the headlines can lead to your own demise’.

He warns against overtrading, which can lead to higher costs and the risk of making knee-jerk reactions that you live to regret.

‘You may call it right, but you could also, for example, follow the herd and sell gold and then watch as the price rises again and you have to chase it back up again to buy back in,’ he says.

Instead, he recommends holding a portfolio of quality stocks and being reassured that financial markets tend to go up in the long term. You may not have to take any action – and any changes you do make should be carefully thought through to fit your long-term strategy.

Damien Fahy adds that market volatility usually subsides within four days of an election result.

‘History also shows us that ultimately it’s the economic backdrop (whether there is a recession), black swan events (difficult to predict, high-impact situations like the pandemic) and central bank policy – which are likely to have the biggest sway over the direction of stock markets and bond markets, both in the US and globally, during the next presidential term,’ he says.

My stay at the ‘best hotel in Wales’ for 2024 to see if it lives up to the hype. It’s VERY good (but here’s why it doesn’t quite get full marks)

The best hotel in Wales. 

This accolade was bestowed upon The Parkgate Hotel in Cardiff in the 2024 AA Hospitality Awards – an eye-opening stamp of approval for the property, which is housed in the Grade II-listed former head post office building and county court on Westgate Street.

Keen to see for myself what impressed the AA’s inspectors, I climb aboard a GWR express at London Paddington (see fact box for details on its ‘long weekender’ ticket deals, which include Cardiff) with my dear mother and head west to the Welsh capital at 125mph for a stay at The Parkgate, notebook and video camera in hand.

Mother Thornhill is under strict instructions to have a splendidly lovely weekend – but also keep an eagle eye out for any imperfections the AA’s inspectors might have missed.

The challenge was accepted with gusto, 83-year-old Mother T excited to be part of the MailOnline hotel-review team and re-peruse a city she hadn’t visited for 60 years.

When she was last in Cardiff, the Portland-stone post office building, completed in 1897, would have included a grand, double-height entrance hall that housed a public counter area, with counters on three sides, and writing tables in the centre.

The Post Office moved in 1983, but the grand double-height entrance hall remains and makes for an impressive first impression (though it’s a shame the red post box outside is covered in graffiti).

White columns soar to a coffered ceiling, guests at marble tables nibble afternoon-tea sandwiches and the reception staff have their smiles set to beaming.

The property is officially a four-star hotel – but it feels five-star in this glamorous, pristine lobby and already worthy of a ‘best hotel’ gong. A vibe that never really dissipates.

Our accommodation is on the fourth floor – a Deluxe Junior Suite comprising two separate double rooms (Nos 426 and 427) with a connecting lobby.

Any hotel room worth its salt should be a magnet, pulling you back in whenever you try to leave.

Test passed. I could move in.

Mesmerising views of the skyline, the adjacent national stadium of Wales – Principality Stadium – the castle and the hills beyond can be soaked in via a balcony and floor-to-ceiling black-framed windows that wrap around the space on three sides; step across the parquet flooring to the back of the space to enter a very smart ensuite with rainshower and Elemis toiletries, while lolling opportunities come courtesy not only via the plush king-sized bed but a chic blue sofa.

And the Parkgate Hotel is clearly angling for bonus points with the plug sockets by the bed on each side and the ample tea and coffee-making facilities. There’s a kettle with teabags and coffee sachets – and a Nespresso machine.

Magnet-like though the chambers are – Mother Thornhill and I can’t linger for long, as we’re only here for one night.

So, it’s off through the city for a harbourside lunch at Cote (very friendly staff) and a tranquil boat trip around the harbour and up the river to picturesque Bute Park, home to the engrossing castle complex.

Then it’s back to the hotel for a pre-dinner trip to the spa, which is swoon-worthy – a sixth-floor haven with amazing views from its pool and heated loungers through yet more floor-to-ceiling glass.

Ma T is bowled over.

We arrive with glowing cheeks at The Sorting Room, the hotel’s lobby-level two-AA-Rosette brasserie-style restaurant that was once filled with hand-written letters and brown-paper packages.

Now it’s smothered in dark wood, ringed by sumptuous banquettes and full of excited diners eager to see if the cooking lives up to the rosette hype.

It does.

My Monmouthshire reared pork and chorizo Scotch egg starter is as comforting as it sounds, while the main – a ‘celebration of Welsh lamb’ – is definitely worth celebrating. It comprises a tastebud-tickling trio of lamb delights – melt-in-the-mouth slices covered in a herb crust, a mini leg-of-lamb shepherd’s pie and a lamb-belly terrine, accompanied by a salt-baked parsnip puree and red-wine jus.

A dish to write home about – first-class recorded delivery.

And for a p.s, you’d want to mention the ‘textures of chocolate cake’, a neutron bomb of chocolate that defeats me. It’s so intense I manage only half, and I’ve got a sweet tooth or three.

The service, meanwhile, for the most part is prompt and cheery – but here there’s room for improvement.

The waiter who delivers our dishes never knows who’s having what – which in a two-Rosette restaurant and when dealing with a table of two… is a tad shoddy. And as each dish is unceremoniously plonked down there’s never a check to see if there’s anything else we’d like.

One of the fruit-forward, quaffable red wines, for instance (which I summon separately).

And at the end comes a moment that leaves a slightly bitter taste – our main waiter urges us to review the restaurant on Tripadvisor and thrusts his name tag at me, practically demanding I take a picture of it so I ‘don’t misspell his name in the review’.

See also  Adding sugar to tea and coffee may not be bad for your  health, new research claims

I’m not allowed to pen anything for Tripadvisor, but that’s not the moan here because the waiter wouldn’t know that – it’s that this kind of pressure is tacky, unbecoming in a classy hotel like The Parkgate.

One of the housekeepers we pass in a corridor also urges us to name-check her in a review when we comment on our ‘lovely room’, and from her we learn the staff are financially incentivised to garner mentions. So I understand the compulsion, but it’s a slightly intrusive practice.  

Though in the grand scheme of the stay, a quibble.

The next day, after returning to The Sorting Room for a highly satisfying buffet breakfast, we saunter around the engrossing castle, which is just a few minutes’ walk away, returning to the lobby to pick up our bags before our train back to London.

The smiles are still beaming at the front desk.

Best hotel in Wales? Considering that rooms at The Parkgate Hotel cost from just £85 a night, according to Google, hoteliers will need to push the envelope out to knock it from its perch.

Pros: Historical building, friendly staff, classy restaurant with expertly prepared dishes, dreamy spa with a great pool, chic and comfortable rooms, inexpensive considering the glamour.

Researchers pinpoint alarming possible cause for surge in heart attacks in young people – and how one decision has left 20-somethings with the ‘heart age’ of 60-year-olds

Researchers pinpoint alarming possible cause for surge in heart attacks in young people – and how one decision has left 20-somethings with the ‘heart age’ of 60-year-olds
Spread the love

Emily, a part-time receptionist at a cardiology centre in a small New South Wales town, wasn’t used to seeing people her age at the clinic where she worked.

So when a 21-year-old – pretty, stylishly dressed, in towering heels and carrying a pricey tote – announced she had an appointment with the specialist, her first thought was that she had come to the wrong place.

She was having heart palpitations, the young woman said, and her GP referred her.

When Emily registered some surprise at this – palpitations are typically associated with older people with high blood pressure or heart disease – the patient uttered six words that took her breath away.

‘Yeah, I do coke on weekends.’

It was a join-the-dots moment for Emily, whose other job is a weekend bartender at a lively country pub where the sight of young people ‘doing lines’ in the bathrooms has become so commonplace it hardly raises an eyebrow.

Since then, Emily has begun to notice more and more young people reporting heart problems at the clinic. She recognises some from the pub.

Australia holds the unenviable distinction of having the most cocaine users per capita in the world, which is attributable to the enormous number of weekend users who don’t think twice about spending up to $350 on a bag every Friday night. 

Researchers pinpoint alarming possible cause for surge in heart attacks in young people – and how one decision has left 20-somethings with the ‘heart age’ of 60-year-olds

Researchers have found a worrying link between the rising number of young people suffering heart problems and the use of cocaine (stock image)

The National Drug Strategy Household Survey 2022–2023 found cocaine was the second-most used illicit drug in Australia behind cannabis. In that year, 4.5 per cent of Australians used cocaine, equating to roughly a million people. 

While it’s no secret our appetite for cocaine is fuelling the bloody international drug trade, what is less often discussed is the drug’s dire effects on our heart health.

The surge in casual cocaine use in recent decades coincides with data showing sudden cardiac death (SCD) as one of the biggest killers of Australians under 50.

Researchers at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute last year found almost a third of young adults in Victoria who died of sudden cardiac issues between 2019 and 2021 had been users of illicit drugs, including cocaine.

Cannabis was the most common illicit drug found in the deceased’s toxicology reports, but coke – along with amphetamines and heroin – wasn’t far behind.

The study’s lead investigator and cardiologist Dr Elizabeth Paratz says there’s nothing new about drugs wreaking havoc on young people’s bodies, but the correlation between drug use and SCD has been alarming.

‘We certainly found that a very high number had toxicology that was positive for illicit substances, such as cocaine and methamphetamine,’ says Dr Paratz, who has since moved to the St Vincent’s Institute of Medical Research. 

‘As clinical cardiologists, we’ve definitely noticed we have more young patients who’ve had issues with their heart. If people don’t have a genetic issue or a structural issue, it tends to be that they’ve been using illicit drugs.

‘We’ve certainly seen people who are in their twenties who’ve wound up requiring transplants and things for heart failure. That’s purely caused by illicit drug use – so it’s an avoidable cause. 

‘It’s something that doesn’t need to happen and it’s pretty tragic when it does happen.’

Cocaine increases the risk of both heart attacks and SCD. A heart attack is caused by a blockage and can often be remedied by a stent or surgery, explains Dr Paratz, but SCD occurs when the heart stops completely and requires CPR.

‘Cocaine speeds up your heart rate, increases blood pressure and thickens the heart muscle so if you’re using it regularly it can be associated with all sorts of issues,’ she adds.

‘It’s important to note the increased heart rate is different from the high heart rate you get from exercising as drugs are affecting all the movement of your electrolytes, like sodium and potassium, and it throws your body out of balance.

‘We’ve personally seen people’s heart rates reach 250bpm. We say about 60 to 100bpm is healthy. It’s a similar story with blood pressure.

‘Serious heart damage is typically seen in people who are using illicit drugs regularly but there’s so many variables – like how much they’re taking and the drug’s purity. Some drugs are cut with actual poisons on the street. You never really know what you’re having.’

Fortunately, if young cocaine users become aware of any heart issues early on and dedicate themselves to quitting, some of the damage can be reversed.

‘It really depends on how established the damage is at the time it’s picked up and how motivated you are to stop,’ Dr Paratz says.

‘There have certainly been cases where a person has stopped using and fully reversed the damage to their heart. They go on to lead a very normal life. We’ve had some real success stories there.

‘That’s why this is such an important public health message, because it’s a health issue you didn’t need to have and it’s something you, hopefully, can reverse if you stop early enough.’

People who suffered SCD after using drugs often died while sedentary or sleeping. Patients were more likely to be male, smokers and excessive alcohol drinkers.

Other common traits included a psychiatric diagnosis, lower body mass index and lower rates of high blood pressure.

Dr Paratz is pushing for more research to be done in the area to determine exactly what drugs and dosages are having the worst effects on heart health.

However, those familiar with the nightlife in major cities like Melbourne and Sydney will tell you exactly what the drug of choice is: cocaine.

‘I think the take-home message in the meantime is, don’t wait for researchers to tell you what the safe dose is – there is no safe dose of drugs,’ Dr Paratz adds. 

‘The simplest thing is to just not use them. If you do use them, stop. There’s quite a good chance damage can be reversed.’

It’s not the first time researchers have raised the alarm.

A 2012 Australian study found that young people who used cocaine at least once a month ‘had up to a 35 per cent increase in aortic stiffening, higher blood pressure than non-users and an 18 per cent greater thickness of the heart’s left ventricle wall’. These factors all increase the risk of cardiac arrest.

Lead researcher and cardiologist Prof Gemma Figtree remarked: ‘It’s so sad. We are repeatedly seeing young, otherwise fit individuals suffering massive heart attacks related to cocaine use.

‘Despite being well-educated professionals, they have no knowledge of the health consequences of regularly using cocaine.

‘It’s the perfect heart attack drug.’ 

Data from the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute found sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the biggest killers of Australians under 50

Data from the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute found sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the biggest killers of Australians under 50

That research from 12 years ago was prompted by a surge in otherwise healthy cocaine users presenting at hospital with heart problems. Crucially, it marked one of the first studies of social users, rather than addicts.

There were 884 cocaine-related deaths in Australia between 2000 and 2021, another study from 2022 found, citing data from the National Coronial Information System.

That study’s lead author, Prof Shane Darke, a world expert on drug deaths, said of the findings: ‘These deaths are largely due to more widespread use of cocaine.’

Tellingly, his research showed a significant increase in cocaine-related deaths among people who had no history of substance use problems. 

‘Twenty years ago, 90 per cent of cocaine deaths had a history of substance use problems. Now that figure is much lower at 50 per cent,’ said Prof Darke, who also noted casual users tended to be unaware of the heart disease and stroke risk.

Emily – the bartender and cardiologist receptionist – isn’t remotely surprised by the statistics on Australia’s cocaine use. She tells me almost half her customers at the bar are under the influence by 10pm on a Friday or Saturday night.

‘It’s not always coke but often you can just look at people and see something’s not right,’ she says.

‘Every weekend we’re cleaning little plastic baggies off the bathroom floors – all used and ripped open for any remains.’

Cocaine has become so common many pubgoers don’t even care to hide their usage. One patron even asked Emily while she was in her uniform where they could buy a bag. Another ordered a round of drinks and ‘looked like he’d just smashed his nose into a plate of flour’.

Efforts were recently made to limit the number of flat surfaces in the pub toilets, but patrons have resorted to racking up and snorting drugs off toilet lids. Pub management can’t easily prevent this because cameras are banned in bathrooms.

Emily tells me that while the cocaine epidemic hit regional New South Wales hard and fast, a new wave of drugs is already taking hold. 

‘There was a real phase with coke but now people have gone back to pills. I think people find them more convenient,’ she said.

‘No matter what it is, the drug problems are never going to go away.’

A large part of the problem is how readily accessible drugs are once revellers are already drunk and open to suggestion.

‘People will offer laced cocaine for free in the bathrooms and it could be mixed with anything from GHB [a common date rape drug] to meth. Free coke is not just going to be coke,’ Emily says.

‘Then that person will either get hooked or, more often if it’s a girl, they’ll get attacked.

‘Other people will spend hundreds of dollars on coke when they’re blind. They get even more desperate when the pubs shut. I’ve heard of bags being sold for $800.’

While pub workers are usually quick to spot dealers in venues, they often face trouble kicking users out. 

‘Most of the time you’re just going off suspicion. You don’t want to kick someone out because their pupils are the size of dinner plates, only to find out they have a medical condition,’ Emily adds.

A person caught selling or supplying a prohibited drug, other than cannabis, can face fines up to $385,000 and/or 20 years behind bars in NSW.

If a person in NSW is convicted of dealing or supplying cannabis, they can face up to $385,000 in fines and/or 15 years behind bars.

How popular is coke in Australia?

Cocaine is an illicit drug that stimulates the central nervous system.

While the drug is most commonly snorted in the form of a powder, it can also be injected or rubbed into the gums. It can also be smoked when in crystal form – a type often associated with a higher risk of impurity.

The effects of cocaine are usually felt in the first 10 minutes if snorted and last about 90 minutes. It can typically be detected in a user’s saliva and blood for two days after ingestion, in urine for up to four days and hair for up to three months.

Signs of an overdose can include nausea and vomiting, extreme anxiety, chest pain, agitation, hallucinations, tremors, changes in breathing, seizures or stroke.

 A survey of Australians over the age of 14 found 4.5 per cent (one million people) had used cocaine in the last 12 months and 13.5 per cent (2.9million people) had used cocaine in their lifetime.

The people most likely to be using cocaine were those aged between 20 and 29 with most users typically trying the drug at 24 years old.

Of those who had ingested cocaine in the last 12 months, 15.4 per cent use it monthly or more often.

If cocaine is affecting you or a loved one, help is available at the National Alcohol and Other Drug Hotline on 1800 250 015.
