Yes, ok, we all voted for Brexit largely because of those infuriating cookie popups that EU bureaucrats imposed on us, pointlessly ruining the entire web experience. The constant annoyance of government-imposed cookie pop-ups, click after click, hour upon hour, day after day, must have resulted in millions of aggregate hours of lost productivity across the union.

For me, it caused the death of the European dream by a million tiny little cuts.

But surely it's possible to get rid of cookie popups without also giving away all of our digital rights?! Is this really the price we have to pay?

When people who have dug holes in the local area before are doing the digging the frequency with which digging a hole goes anything other than "pretty much exactly as expected" is vanishingly tiny.

This applies to damn near every other task. Just because some techies don't know to look at the forecast and budget extra time for unloading trailers of material in inclement weather because this particular job site happens to be a mud pit doesn't mean that the people who's job it is to schedule those things don't know to do so.

Edit: I chose my words for a reason. Some of you people would do well to understand that not going smoothly is not the same as not going as expected. The people who dig holes for a living both know how long the average hole takes, how long the median is and how frequently "well shit we hit bedrock where we didn't expect it, now we gotta do X, Y and Z" type outliers occur.
I once requested under GDPR my personal data on a well known dating app. It contained all messages ever sent as well as GPS positions for years (try it yourself). I then requested that data to be deleted permanently and they refused.

I didn't take it to court because I didn't want my dating history to be dragged out in court.

To Britain's ruling class, sovereignty means power; EU rules mean their hold on the nation is weakened. That's why the ultras got so much support from many people who came from political societies in Oxford, where Johnson, Rees-Mogg, etc., started their political careers, despite the case for Brexit being good for the UK as a whole having so many holes.
The European countries with good healthcare and education actually have their governments play a central role. How do you think Germans afford university? It's the type of government involvement you take issue with.

> I think we're just disagreeing on different interpretations of the word effective.

That's likely. I'm using the word in the sense of clinical efficacy, i.e. how likely an intervention is to produce the intended outcome. In this case the response rate to the intervention in those with depression [0].

Preemptive double mastectomy is the most effective way to date to prevent breast cancer [2] (~95% reduction). This is important for those at heightened risk, for example those with pathological variants of BRCA 1 & 2 which each independently increase the risk of breast cancer 5 fold (up to 70%!)[1]. Coupled with other factors some women are statistically almost certain to get breast cancer if they live long enough.

We can't mince words with peoples lives. People with severe depression deserve to know that ECT is a safe treatment and the most effective treatment available. And there should not be stigma in any treatment.

Similarly, pre-emptive mastectomy the most effective prophylactic intervention available for preventing breast cancer. And important for those who are at very very high risk.

Well, having worked many years in construction as an engineer, I'd say the author has it about right.

If you're doing something visible like installing a pipeline in a road, you might have a couple of engineers inspecting the work, someone reviewing how the contractor is assembling the pipe and someone reviewing the safety of the trench and the backfill of the hole (which are all different specialties) and a surveyor. They're probably only on site for a few hours a week, but when they're there, they're probably standing near the work all together talking to the foreman and project manager to make sure everything is being done correctly.

The actual labor on a worksite is also a bit stop start. Doing that same work, say backfilling the hole after installing the pipe, the excavator will spend a few minutes filling the hole, then the laborer will climb in to compact it. The poor guy might have 10 minutes break before climbing into a hole to push a compactor around for 15 minutes and then climb back out again. That's hard work.

Construction runs pretty tight, having been optimized by market forces over decades. People here complain about estimates, but imagine if you had to bid on every sprint you did, and you couldn't go above your estimate. That's what construction is like.

Like the author said, it just looks like construction workers are hanging around because they have to work out in the open, and because people driving by don't know what they're doing, they assume that they're just hanging around.

> the EU produces effectively 0 innovative tech

Eu produces effectively 0 innovative tech because the PR marketing-machine that is geared to sell you stocks on the US stock market makes incessant noise about American companies to sell those shares to you while excluding anyone outside.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/10/meet-europe-top-tech-...

Those are the 'hot up and coming'.

https://www.value.today/top-companies/top-technology-compani...

Those are by size.

All of this, without talking about SAP and the like.

European businesses dont operate on 'Sell over-inflated shares to those suckers to "capitalize"' - they operate on traditional indicators. Hence there isnt a need in Europe to constantly hawk any company's shares to make fools part with their money for the sake of financial sector. So you end up with companies like Hetzner slowly growing from engineering roots and then suddenly jumping on to the other side of the ocean to kick incumbent cloud butt there.
So how many developers do you actually hire out of Thailand? The prime minister of Thailand earns 3804 USD per year. If you seriously hire them at $380k, that's 100 times what the leader of their country earns. The US equivalent would be $40 million a year. Seemingly, every even remotely qualified person in the country would be rushing to apply. No need to immigrate and go through the Visa process? Earn enough money to buy your entire hometown within a few years?

Surely, there has to be some sufficiently motivated and intelligent person born in Thailand who is able to do the work you require. Have you hired any of them?
> Java isn't that terrible of a language.

I agree but is it just me that gets annoyed by class files, jars and working with the jdk. I am sure it is because I am a novice but with python I just run the script with C I build and run the executable. Java is a little weird and in between, it seems well thought out in this regard and for good reason too but imo that is the only thing that annoys me about it. .NET and C# is similar for example but I get an exe not a binary that needs an interpreter (although it does need the right runtime installed)

That’s a new one. Cookie pop ups caused Brexit, you say? Interesting because the Brexit vote happened in June 2016 and GDPR came into effect two years later in May 2018.

But what’s funny is, you’re right in a way. Many of the criticisms of the EU were just elaborate fictions concocted by right wing tabloids. We can add “GDPR caused Brexit” to that pile of falsehoods.

Such a horrific plausibility it doesn't bare thinking about, but I suspect the rank and file Conservative members might have a problem putting a brown man in charge, even if the alternative is as incompetent as the incumbent without the "charm".

> This I think could lead to a referendum to rejoin the EU

Unlikely.

> which I think would probably win

Even more unlikely.

Brexshitters would insist upon some sensible rules, such as 70% (or more) in favour for it to pass. I'd guess a vote today would likely be similarly split as last time, only just slightly in favour to rejoin.

The half-joke/half-truth that "millitary intelligence" is an oxymoron has been widely circulated - heck, there are even Quora layman questions that take it for granted.

And of course all kind of insider jokes about such illogicallity and inefficiency (including long standing acronyms, like S.N.A.F.U), about how high command has little understanding of the situation on the ground in any real scenario, things dressed-up to look good, and so on.

the cost of housing has far outgrown the median household income and in many places you need 2+ income earners to sustain a household meaning nobody has time to raise children
The further you are removed from the end product, the harder it is to perform targeted attacks. Sure, they could build a backdoor into every component they produce and hope it won't go detected, but the possibility of the subversion being detected scales linearly with the occurrence rate. And if they only subvert 1 in 1000 chips, how are they going to ensure those chips end up at their intended targets?

How hard would be for the Chinese or Russians to pay an employee to slip some compromised chips to pick and place machine?

Probably some orders of magnitude harder than if it were assembled in China.
I think the idea of the UK rejoining the EU, ever, in its current state is fanciful thinking - and continues this division of remainer/rejoiner vs brexiteer identity politics.

For a start, rejoining would mean (committing to) adopting the Euro and joining Schengen, which as a Brit living in the Schengen/Euro Zone I don't really see any advantage of and even less public support from within the UK.

Hopefully when the Conservative party, or at least its own current state, burns itself out, the cooler heads (from whatever party is in power) will move to something like the famed Norway/EEA model. It won't be framed as rejoin/remain, more just economic and trade policy, and it'll take the best part of a decade - but I consider that the most sensible 'optimistic' view on the future.

To address your question, the point is for you to click on the link :).

Otherwise, I think that the fall in work motivation is definitely connected to inflation. First, the money you make is worth less, so it seems pointless. Second, you see the super rich getting even more so, and without work. You feel like the stupidest guy in the room.

Ending up in the investment space being able to dump insane amounts of money on hundreds of startups at a time by calculating that even if 99 of them fail at any given time, just one of them turning into an over-valued 'unicorn' would end up flushing the investor with 'value'?

Which came down crashing the moment a few countries started trading oil and other resources with non-dollar currencies? So much that now all those unicorns all the way to Twitter and Facebook are in hot water because of their overvalued shares compared to their actual profits?

I know I'm in the minority here but I'd absolutely love this. It just makes so much sense. We have such an island mentality.
> We are now entering terrify, with Magnus at least, where the best players don't want to compete in traditional matches

[Citation needed] :) Says who? What exactly indicates the best players "don't want to compete in traditional matches"? What implies that Magnus forfeiting his title (having collected five) is a result of such general trend?

Either it's "best players", or only Magnus, in this specific situation, having already built a remarkable legacy.

> and the chess watching public doesn't want to follow it anyway.

[Citation needed] again : ) Because I'm not sure if the chess watching public KNOWS that it "doesn't want to follow" traditional matches. Regarding the previous world championship match:

"Total viewership for the event exceeded 12.6 million hours watched with a record peak streaming viewership for chess of 613,000 concurrent viewers making the FIDE World Championship in Dubai one of the most watched events in streaming globally."

https://kommunikasjon.ntb.no/announcement?publisherId=168238...

> In total, viewers of the World Championship spent more than 12.6M hours on broadcasts, which is twice as much as at the World Championship 2018. The average audience of the World Championship 2021 was 239.7K viewers, which is almost 2.5 times more than at the previous iteration of the tournament

https://escharts.com/news/fide-world-chess-championship-2021...

Guess the chess watching public didn't get that memo. Viewership can grow substantially, despite this era of shortening attention spans. I can't see a problem in need of fixing here, much less a trend going in the opposite direction that these numbers show.

> If you think FIDE involvement in rapid/online cheapens chess...

Involvement in and of itself, no. It has its place. And they're involved already. There are World Rapid and World Blitz championships. But these titles don't hold the same value as "the" World championship. Ask Abdusattorov ("who"? Exactly :)) if he wouldn't prefer to be the classic world champion.

What I'm saying is that this involvement should be kept in proportion, and pushing towards rapid/online, with the goal of attracting more publicity (which is already larger than ever before, the internet takes care of itself without the need for any official blessing), steers towards diminishing returns, while the long-term costs would tend to increase.

It's crazy to me that this is the first US airline to get such a thing. The Australian airline QANTAS has had this since 2011. Not just that, but you walk in to the terminal, check yourself in on a machine, tell the machine if you want a printed tag or have an electronic tag, then go sling your bag into a pod that has a conveyor + scale in the bottom, a bunch of laser scanners and a tag reader. The bag is weighed and checked in quickly, and at no point do you need to see a counter person to check in.

The main airport I use has about 20 of the scanners, and they also have been running well for 10+ years. There are other, larger airports with more of them.

Part of why I like Apple products is because they tend to have more apps made natively and well fitting into the ecosystem. I don't want web apps which use double the energy, don't look and feel like they were designed for iPhone/Mac. And I use Safari because it does everything it has to (display information) while using the least energy for it. I've yet to see any really good web app, no matter the browser or device.
There’s a utility called Rectangle that does this: https://rectangleapp.com/

It works very well, a native version would probably be better but most of the time I don’t notice it’s running, just press the keyboard shortcuts and move on. There’s also tiling WMs that go deeper, but I haven’t needed them.
