The "secret lawmaking" still needs to be voted on in parliament Because it's not actually a Parliament, its members pretty much always supports the Commission in whatever it wants to do except for the protest parties like U

Alternative take - people know what the EU is, but also know that they have no way to control or influence it. So they ignore it because it'll do whatever it's going to do anyway regardless of whether or not people think it's

Access to the EU market was never really a big advantage for the UK because the EU's internal market never did much beyond physical goods, but the UK was/is strongest in services. Unifying trade in services never became a priority

Nope, the videos are real and the things the employees say on them, equally so. Not distorted or taken out of context - on video, talking about their work in the clearest possible terms. It's a far higher calibre of evidence than a typ

The source is Project Veritas. Why not go to their website and take a look? There have been a whole bunch of cases where they got Twitter staff on record to say damning things. And no, it's not out of context. The statements are in con

The point I'm making is that public health officials were making "decisions about other people's lives" despite being "a small group of people (or one person), unaccountable to those impacted by the decision, with a

The UK has a backlog of something like 6 million+ people waiting for operations/medical attention. Whatever issues the US has, it's not on the same scale.

We can certainly agree that the UK has underperformed relative to, say, America. I don't think Chinese GDP stats have ever been accurate and developing countries often have high growth anyway, so am not so interested in comparisons to

There's definitely ways for them to save money. I heard a rumour some time ago that after Twitter switched to the free/open source Graal JVM JIT compiler it saved them quite a bit of CPU time. Then they did the calculations to see

Alternative take: I was at Google when they killed Reader. At the time they pulled the plug, Reader had already been destaffed for years and was kept going in one guy's 20% time. The infrastructure effectively ran itself - the underlyi

Of course the forecasts are terrible, they're terrible everywhere. The attempts to fight COVID and especially lockdowns were a disaster. Things were pretty normal up until they started. This has nothing to do with Brexit.

Sshhh, you're not supposed to point out that inflation and recession are happening in many countries. The unwritten rule here is that if anything bad happens anywhere in the UK, it's always because of leaving the EU. Also we'

You talk as if figuring out what an employee is worth is easy, and that worth is absolute (same to all employers). If you have competitors who are willing to pay a premium over what the skills are worth to the first company not to train s

Microsoft did that already years ago. Win32 hasn't been their recommended API for a very long time. They have WinRT now, which is in many ways a much nicer API except that nobody cares, it's too late already, hardly anyone writes

There's a problem here that I think people (devs) aren't really aware of yet - Microsoft have practically stopped working on Windows 10. For quite a long time now, all new bug fixes go into 11 and they aren't being reliably b

The investment into training isn't merely money and can't usually be neatly calculated. It's usually paid in the form of time, motivation, distraction and lost opportunities by more senior staff. If you, personally, sink a ye

They've effectively declared war on Taiwan by now. Maybe not diplomatically but their president for life has been saying they'll take it through force, which amounts to the same thing.
