The Icelandic plant is NOT doing that though (just to be clear)

How far do you take it?

What services does it apply to? Sure netflix, Disney (hah! Good luck!) Amazon etc.

What about YouTube? It has masses of content, some in the form of movies Or documentories etc, but that's a lot of content, who does the pay per view money go to? Who is going to moderate it?

What about services such as Patron?( or maybe nebula or floatplane) Some creators charge a lot for content as it's low volume and they need to support themselves, will this undercut them (without giving loopholes for big companies)

As others have mentioned, what about porn or porn adjacent content?

It would be very hard to implement fairly I suspect and would be full of pitfalls unless you exempt a lot of areas. Banning content exclusivity for certain content after a period of time would probably be more effective (and requiring that purchase is available)

Wasn't there some research that said that trigger warnings re-enforce the trauma, when just seeing the content would help reduce it through exposure?

(Not something I follow, may be quack science or debunked)

Edit: https://www.bps.org.uk/research-digest/do-trigger-warnings-work-intended tldr: increases anxiety, but people look at the content anyway, further research required

Ty, I was expecting them to be russian flagged to 'dare' NATO to mess with them as an excuse to do... Something

Ty

How do you prove an account is legit?

They are russian flagged vessels right? What does that mean in terms of ability to do things about them?

I assume you can't legally just board/sink them, even with cause?

Right touchpad for mouse, triggers for left and right click. Then just bind other things as they become annoying.

As a few people have said, buying something like solar panels, or the deposit on an electric car would probably be the best - reducing your impact is probably the most you can do.

The other option could be green investment.... They do exist, ignore 'transitional energy' funds (90% oil majors), look at the individual shares that any fund that looks interesting. I have some money in EdenTree funds. That way your money is hopefully helping do good, while (hopefully) growing so you can do something that will have a bigger personal effect.

Pretty sure it's this one: https://youtu.be/FAAQVntpk00

Goes through the photos to get an idea where it failed (towards one end). Then looks at manufacturing photos (milling down carbon fiber in a pressure vessel is crazy!) then looks at strain guage graphs.

Their crack detector thing actually detected a problem on the previous trip.... Just nobody checked it....

Almost anything might have been better than nothing. They voted for it and he still seems to have high approval ratings 🤷‍♂️

My (very rough and possibly incorrect) understanding was that there was a lot of government subsidies of things and lots of government jobs that somewhat existed just to employ people.

This resulted in huge government expenditure as rich/middle class people took advantage. (I heard something about heated swimming pools as electricity was so subsidized. Not checked that though) This meant that the government was always teetering on bankruptcy (again) and the economy never really grew.

My understanding was basically that the country was pretending to be much richer than it was. This is more about resetting to what it can actually afford - hopefully setting itself up for future growth.

If the government went bust, most of this would have happened to an extent anyway. I'm not sure what other options there where, I think the other option at the election was to spend their way out, but they had no money and that would have pushed inflation even further.

This guy is very much the opposite of my general politics.... But I think he has had the right idea with the economics here. Better to hurt now and be better later than hurt a little for ever (and not really grow... And risk the government defaulting again)

However... I don't trust him to actually make everyone better off once the economy is recovering. Expect income disparity to continue growing.

This is particularly concerning to me with most of the wealth belonging to generations that are now retiring and selling off their stocks to fund their retirement.

That + climate change + authoritarian/strong man government's looking more likely makes me nervous about the long term stock market.

I guess that's not new though.

The PE ratio is 30 currently which feels high....

They're saying that if you're 55 and in that situation you are in trouble as you're running out of time to get out of the situation. In your 30s it might not be great compared to previous generations, but you still have time to turn things around.

To be fair, there a lots of interesting jobs out there, you just don't know they are interesting because they sound boring, or because you only see them if you have experience in some boring job.

If your app uses silver light, VB6 or something like that where modern OSs, browsers etc just don't support it and there is no upgrade path.

It could also be written in a language that is supported, but you just can't hire Devs for.

I'm almost always of the opinion that refactoring is better than a rewrite as long as the tech stack is supportable.

Everyone wants to rewrite stuff, because the old system is 'needlessly complicated'. 90% of the time though, they end up finding it was complicated for a reason and it all ends up going back in. It does allow a system to be written with the full knowledge of its scope though, instead of an old system that has been repeatedly bodjed and expanded. Finally, if your old tech stack is unsupportable (not just uncool, unsupportable) then it can be the most feasible way. It will take ages though with no/little return until it's all finished.

Refactoring is more difficult, as developers need to understand the existing codebase more to be able to safely upgrade it in situ. It does mean you can get continuous improvement through the process though as you update things bit by bit. You do need to test that each change doesn't have unexpected impact though, and this can be difficult to do in badly written systems.

Most Devs hate working on other people's code though, so prefer rewrites.

(Ran out of time to go into more detail)

How.is it providing secrecy and result checking at the same time?
