I'm not in any way slow to understand, not in this case anyway.

> If you can't see why an open border is vital for the continued peace, and why removing it would place tension on a peace that took decades to achieve, then you've already made up your mind.

I didn't say that, and I'm not even going to engage your straw man.

And I did not blame the EU for Brexit woes, I made a pretty basic statement of fact that would probably cover any negotiation, one which was intended only to signal compromise -- hence why the UK did not leave entirely -- not woe or blame.

What's Ulster got to do with it?

I asked for a reference in the GFA, you've provided a Wikipedia link. Fantasy stuff in the HN comment threads as usual.

> You're right, they were an ethno-nationalist conflict, during which the British government sanctioned the murder of its own citizens, and now continues to protect those murderers from prosecution.

Bit early for the drink, no?

This is, probably unwittingly, making my point.

Brexit in no way breaches the GFA. Threatening a return to violence in Ireland over Brexit is what I mean by "making things difficult".

The Troubles were not about sausage shipments between Belfast and Dublin.

Upvote for politeness :)

HN won't let me reply to you messe!

Can you point to the line or lines in the GFA which would have been breached by Brexit?

The UK wanted to leave as an intact entity, the EU made that difficult, therefore compromises.

GB is a third country, UK is not entirely.

but i'm in the UK!!1ones

Vaguely remember Boeing(?) blocking something in a web spec because would mean upgrading a lot of desktops.

Your first sentence is a personal opinion.

Link says Government sent a "first signal of its intention", title says "UK to depart".

Comments skip straight to how dumb we all are.

Who decides who is a terrorist ?

You’ve just handed over the role of government to Apple.

The people doing the dissappearing were from Ireland though.

“It was difficult for sub-postmasters to challenge errors because they were unable to access information about the software to do so.” What a nightmare.

Yes! We don't want to flatted the curve so much that it extends into winter, because then we compound other seasonal illnesses like the flu, and the pressure on the health service is back above the red line.

The regional coefficients they use to set salary are a real turn off. https://about.gitlab.com/salary/data.json

How to stretch.

If you make a deal to buy a bus (or 1000) today, what tariff would you be incurring as a result of Brexit?

And if we're post Brexit, what tariff is the UK going to impose on a UK manufacturer that kills it's business?

Currencies rise and fall, the cost of Al (in the UK) was more expensive in 2010 than it is now. (And if you're a buyer outside the UK the fall of sterling would be a good thing, no?)

I'm having a hard time getting past the relative difference between the losses and the donations to Green Pastures, to blaming Brexit.

> On top of this, comes the inescapable elephant that is Brexit. This may only be one of the factors affecting Wrightbus, but it is arguably the crippling final blow. Wrightbus is a Northern Ireland based supplier, dependent on parts and orders from the EU and beyond, a strong UK economy, and a stable period of national and local government. All of those pillars have been cracked by Brexit.

None of those things have changed, or been changed by Brexit in this timeframe.

> In 2018 it reported a loss of £1.7m, citing a difficult UK bus market and near non-existent overseas sales aggravated by Brexit.

I'm sure someone smarter than me can explain how Brexit was the cause of Wright's downfall, especially given Brexit hasn't happened.

FWIW our experience was different. We left the hospital after 3 days, during which we received advice from professional midwives, including how to breast feed (and what to do if baby doesn't latch). At home visits from health worker and midwife were regular and data and notes in the red book did not at all seem random.

UK has not entered recession, UK has 1 negative quarter, a recession is 2.

I would argue that web development is less complicated than it used to be for the same quality of output. We now have source maps, debuggers, bundlers, more powerful languages, apis and a narrow range of browsers to hit with all that.

So now you can be more expressive, target more browsers easily, have greatly simplified script loading and module management, much, much better debugging tools, with less effort.

The tools make it easier for you to be a good developer.

Good web development was never easy.
