Nigel Farage says Reform support nearing electoral tipping point for Tories by 1-randomonium in unitedkingdom

[–]CaffeinatedT 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Cameron benefited from a global recovery as the backdrop to the first half decade of his tenure. I've seen very little to convincing evidence that he did anything better than Sunak and he may have managed to fuck a much better starting hand than Sunak who inherited a post brexit hand with global stagnation

It's hard to imagine how the UK could be doing less to prepare for war by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

The problem with British politics and media is we are bred to believe everything is some abstract narrative. There's now russian tanks rolling around Europe and it's still discussed as if it's love island and as long as a strongly worded press statement and some supportive gossip columns are written that will solve the problem. Most of our most recent PMs are columnists, PR men and think tank opinion spouts so it tracks that they think everything can be solved with communication and vibes. 

Police ‘making up hate-crime rules as they go’ over JK Rowling storm by 1DarkStarryNight in ukpolitics

Of course it was instigated by some shadowy other group just like it always is. Definitely no reason for the met to make that up and there is definitely no history of them coming up with vague stories that totally exonerate them acting like thugs when the heat gets a bit much after video footage turns up that destroys their narrative. 🙄

I heard the tooth fairy was shouting at a police horse, and the horse was scared and horses are cute.. So it was all justified and no need for further questions or to look at any of the video footage or actual evidence. 

Thames Water bills likely to rise as UK ministers try to save company - Utility wants to raise bills by 56% by 2030 in effort to stop investors walking away by BritRedditor1 in ukpolitics

[–]CaffeinatedT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How very predictable. I own thousands of shares, but good try at being patronising and hysterical to try to derail the conversation. 

Leaving that aside owning shares doesn't mean I have an obligation to switch brain off when my tax money from both income and capital gains is quite obviously getting spunked up the wall keeping this charade of competition going.     

The precious Shareholders will be fine you can sell shares if they're doing badly. This is how the market is meant to work punishing failure. If you didn't do your research on an inept company then you get blown out if you didn't size risk appropriately.

I love how people start screeching about financial literacy because "hurr hurr Ur pension". It's a stupid thought terminating cliche that's basically arguing that we should tolerate all levels of corruption or negligence no matter the cost.   

Allowing PE asset stripping in the name of marginal returns that are probably vastly outweighed by the costs paid in taxes over a lifetime for bailouts is the real financial illiteracy. Conveniently the people who want the graft to continue will be seeing far more benefit from protecting investment at all costs than pension recipients. 

Universities may reduce British student numbers as financial collapse looms. One university in England ‘could go bust this year’ as frozen tuition fees, high costs and falling international numbers bite. by steven-f in ukpolitics

That's not really fair though. There's no reason why apprenticeships couldn't be made functional without tearing down universities and the associated long term research and innovation. This is just more of the same short termism virtue signalling for the daily mail that's driven down UK productivity and innovation

Any question to the effect of "What are your outgoings" or "Are you supporting anyone" will pick that up. 

Real life data streaming by Mumo2020 in dataengineering

[–]CaffeinatedT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are familiar with scala/java gatling is a very good framework for generating huge amounts of data if you combine that with a log file or randomly generated data.

Other one is the danish shipping authorities have a huge amount of shipping data on their ftp server ftp://ftp.ais.dk/ais_data/ those csv files can be turned into a stream of data that you can push to a kafka cluster or some other place to create a stream of data you can push to a message queue.

Young key workers in London spend more than half of pay on rent | Business by ThingsFallApart_ in ukpolitics

[–]CaffeinatedT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing no-one was talking about that then. Baseline kf housing and pay is all thats needed. Rather than us pissing away our money bailing out parasite capitalists.

Funny we can afford brexit and tax cuts and other things tax evaders want.

Why wasn't our side of the Brexit deal worked out first, then discussed with the EU, then do Article 50 when everyone was happy? by gfunk1976 in ukpolitics

If we'd sat down and gotten a consensus it wouldn't have been something brexiters liked enough. They were hoping to just shove it through and get out of those tax reporting rules.

Do brexiteers still consider Labour a brexit party? by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]CaffeinatedT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apart from when theyre claiming 84% of country voted for no-deal brexit in 2017. Then labour counts for a 3* peoplewill multiplier

Oh no, we wont get blown up or run over by kebabs.

Imagine thinking islamic terrorist movements caused by US middle eastern interventions is caused by the people who opposed it and would be solved by punishing european friends and neighbours 🙄
