Quite. Moreover and with apologies to Marx, where is this 10x coming from? The simple fact is that it's the fruit of other people's labour that is being appropriated.

OK, but look at the context - out of nowhere we have obvious diversity at all costs propaganda. I'm watching the BBC's Christmas trailer now which involves a brown skinned single father and his daughter. This in no way represents

Wow, liberal fascism distilled, pretty much a call to arms for the destruction of individual cultures and global imposition of wrongthink. South Park's Death Camp of Tolerance comes to mind. I await the introduction of the reeducation

For a grad level position I'd argue it's just about acceptable - outside of the big tech companies UK salaries aren't that amazing, and it could probably be a nice stepping stone onto something bigger and better. Usual story

The Running Man has the same idea (without the porn aspect).

I selected PostgreSQL for a geo project recently. Still haven't got my head around tuning, but apart from that I've found it great to use. I use psycopg2 to connect from Python. No nasty surprises in use, and found that all my pid

Some obvious discrepancies around permitted speech on this topic. Say you like traditional British values and think they are being undermined by immigration: "Racist! Xenophobe! There are no traditional British values anymore! Go back

This reminds of a trend I read about a while back where the rewards accrue to an increasingly small number of high profile people in a field while the majority just get poorer.

Stop avoiding the question: do you honestly believe there was not FUD from the remain side? I suggested you google brexit scaremongering to enlighten yourself. Did you do that? You are obviously a troll :)

With you on this. I've never bought a new PC, always eBay or self build.

'First Round Capital reports that its investments in companies with a female founder have posted 63 percent better returns than men-only firms.' so what? Correlation does not imply causation. Also it might be that female founded f

Do you honestly believe there was no FUD from the remain side? If so you are obviously a troll or out of touch with reality. There literally hundreds of hits if you google brexit scaremongering or similar that reference scare tactics both w

OK so disregard the Treasury then if it makes you happy - my general point stands, despite your effort to split hairs - there was massive concerted lies and deceit from leave, and subsequent 'despite Brexit' stories from the BBC e

Majority of what? The FUD? In another post I've given a series of links showing some of the crap that was flung around by the remain campaign, of which there was plenty. Bob Geldof on the Thames hurling abuse at Nigel Garage? That was

No, you are the one playing semantics. The consensus is that Merkel forced mass immigration on the rest of the EU. Look how well that went down in recent elections in Germany - she barely escaped and only after an unprecedented intervention

by Boothroid 9y ago
You are seriously claiming that Merkel did not play THE key role in setting immigration policy across the EU? That seems to go against what most reasonable sources conclude. As regards Poland I think perhaps you are believing what you see i

Why don't you try to refute my general point? There was FUD on both sides. I'm just seeking to point this out to those with selective memories that bleat on about the £350m claim as if the remain side were whiter than white. They

The Treasury's document today says: "A vote to leave would cause an immediate and profound economic shock creating instability and uncertainty which would be compounded by the complex and interdependent negotiations that would fol

The EU is doing a pretty good job of disuniting itself without help from outside what with eurozone woes and consequent blight of mass youth unemployment in many countries, unilateral adoption of mass immigration by Germany, interference in

This is just a personal attack disguised as civility.

Remain too. We were told that on the day after a vote to leave there would be an immediate crash of financial markets and recession. That didn't happen.

Indeed, the FUD put about by the remain campaign probably made the victory closer than would otherwise have been the case.

I saw an incredible video about a drone motor factory in China that made me think the days of China being behind technologically must surely come to an end, and sooner than we think.
