> A political investigative blog called Guido Fawkes somehow obtained a list of the Anglo Irish foreign bondholders: German banks, French banks, German investment funds, Goldman Sachs. (Yes! Even the Irish did their bit for Goldman.)
Germany wanted to protect their own banks(/ers) and investment funds from losing money to the detriment and disregard of everyone and everything else.
That is not the case. Any EU bank can sell mortgages in Ireland. They choose not to because there is not a functioning property market. Homeowners who don't pay their mortgage can't be kicked out of their home by the banks and also those same homeowners just can't walk away and put the keys back in the letterbox.
The first reason being the most problematic.
Mom & Dad doing patient diagnosis & surgery at home to bond with the kids...
Sounds more problematic than a software engineer opening up the editor.
How do you not understand that if your business offers something, it has to be accessible and available to everyone? Otherwise, it's discrimination.
> Life has always been unfair.
And laws like this ensure the world doesn't become even more unfair.
However, living off social security wasn't really ironic given that she viewed the social security payouts as reimbursement for the (what she considered unjust) payroll taxes she had been forced to pay.
Also, being selfish was central to her philosophy so this was in keeping with it.
His lawyer said no. His (separate) spiritual advisor said go.
Why would data storage & data bandwidth be upfront fixed price? Bill on usage.
Can you imagine a grocery chain who wants to profit from potential customers all over the world but doesn't want to obey local laws in the jurisdictions it operates in?
If people don't want to serve people outside their jurisdiction, do an IP lookup as some US outlets chose to do.
Hacky US start-ups don't get to dictate the rules of the game to the world.
in the article, you mentioned:
> the compiler is one of the best compilers I’ve ever seen and will not compile if it detects that your code is not sound.
It seems like your're judging the entirety of the compiler just on it's user displayed error messages?
Unfortunately, these companies were brought over by accountants, not engineers..
In so far as, Ireland gave them an opportunity to target EU market (& tax deals) which meant their staff is mostly non engineering (customer service/finance/legal).
The big mistake Ireland made (back then) was not ensuring some of their core business functionalities _had_ to be present in Ireland (i.e. engineering)
A lot less new tech companies built by accountants and customer support staff compared to engineers.
Everything bar the geo-specific things (sailing,planeterium) come from the same money pot for every school in Ireland (ROI) and are pretty much the same for most schools countrywide. The more disadvantaged an area your school is in, the more resources(a la funding/support) it gets.
This extends outside school to community. The most disadvantaged/crime-ridden communities get the most government funding(local sports/after-school activities/local community centers etc.)

The context of that opinion is highly relevant and not qualified in the article or a bio.
His insta page listed in the bio however gives an insight into his experience.
So yes, I feel perfectly content to raise his lack of experience.
I'm fed up of noise posing as insight.
Regurgitating others' opinions and making multiple unfounded assertive statements is key to demonstrating he has already mastered the software domain.
The US wasn't tolerant. I don't even know where to begin. A single comment cannot convey how anti-immigrant the US was.
Nativism took hold of the US when the Irish and Germans arrived (mainly due to religious reasons & also fear of cheaper labour) Given that Italians were majority Catholics, they'd have the same intolerance shown. The Chinese were also hounded.
Laws were passed to discriminate against all those groups.
The only people who possibly got off lightly were the British (due to same religion & culture)
No.

You're referring to "3rd party cookies" but it applies to ALL cookies that are not essential so I will answer with respect to all cookies...
Essentially, that's the company's problem. If they want to continue using cookies to store information(regardless if 1st or 3rd party) to do something that is not needed for me to use their service, then they have to inform the user and obtain consent.
If they find the cookies(& popups) result in less users using their service, they should change their behaviour or you know - actually check if they need these active all the time for everyone.

Would we be so hard on him if he was knowledgeable about blood testing and had tweeted about Theranos when they ultimately failed?
The less silence is the norm, the better.
We need people to publicly call out bullshit when they see it (at least he waited until they failed rather than when they were trying to succeed)
Some people who thought they knew better than actual experts failed and took 174m of somebody else's money with them.
It benefits certain angels & early stage VCs to have a culture of relentless optimism and fantasy in the face of reality, and to ensure silence is forced on everyone except those who succeed.
