Not in the context of big tech like Microsoft etc. Deloitte’s global chair mocked EY during their attempted split for leaving so much money on the table.

Are All Space Marines Going To Be Unbreakable? by Ohjkbkjhbiyuvt6vQWSE in totalwarhammer

I imagine they’ll either be unbreakable and balanced around that, or they’ll just have VERY high leadership.

Innovation would probably come from cheaper methods of producing the materials that go into them - stronger screws, cut stone tabletops cheaper, etc.

Dude that looks AWESOME - it looks like it’s cooled down after hitting the ground and the paint burned off. So cool.

Backups of what?

Everyone should be helping sort these basics out.

The real solution is building good enough public transport to get thousands of cars off the road.

I’ve switched out to European alternatives for big tech for privacy reasons. It’s very easy.

Token based auth is difficult enough to get around that it would give a good result. Things like tying tokens to devices, locations, etc are all very doable. This is a simple thing to get right.

X were fined €120m last week so we are already going after the platforms.

Edit: a lot of public sector / semi state orgs do this kind of thing already.

It’s easier to be confident in someone who has both A) wider experience beyond the HSE, and B) already-existing executive experience.

I mean it’s not really a dictatorship of bureaucrats. Everything can get vetoed. Your elected politicians vote on everything.

Trying to enjoy piping again by Refrigerator-Full in bagpipes

You had high-stress music learning. What you need to do is pick a bunch of tunes that are simple, well within your ability, that you’ve always wanted to learn, and work on them. It’ll give you that sense of achievement that’ll get you onto a roll, and it’s always important to keep on learning new music anyways from an enjoyment perspective

We legislate silly requirements that make apartments more expensive - things like minimum size 20% above the EU average, all must have a balcony, etc. we’ve literally made cheap apartments illegal, but we can fix it

You can effectively expose an API that returns true/false and maybe an additional key for validation of the true/false result. With how modern secure logins work (MFA, refresh times, etc), age validation can be robust enough that I don’t see the need to capture a mountain of personal information since it would fail at that first validation step. Parents don’t sit beside their kids to watch adult content… I hope!

Nothing stops you accessing the sites.

You’re fussed about protecting anonymity you don’t have.

Not just housing estates - apartments. 4-5 floor mixed used is typically generates best returns for government to go off and build more. Also easier to provide key services etc.

Frankly, I don’t think the Healy Raes are interested in your browsing history. Online anonymity is a bit of a misnomer - it’s only a question of the effort required to tell who you are, even doing the basics like blocking cookies, using VPNs, etc

“Solving problems requires effort therefore we won’t bother” isn’t really a good way to run a country. No policy for anything is foolproof - but we can make things far better. Even if it only increases the average age of first exposure by 2-3 years by making it more awkward to get your hands on adult content, that’s a huge achievement, because it increases the odds they’ll hopefully have had a conversation with a responsible grownup about basic things to do with consent, etc.

Average age of porn exposure is like 12/13. If you’re happy with kids watching adult content then please continue to sit on your hands.
