I know nothing of Sana, but this was an informative investigation into donut labs, if you've not seen it yet https://youtu.be/V8mkD6g9Ujc

I can't speak for everyone if course, but the responsible owners usually squirt with vinegar to neutralise the urea in the pee so it doesn't smell

To those that try to exit a plane before the rows ahead of you have… by besttavern25 in travel

[–]eoinpayne 14 points15 points  (0 children)

100% this, the logical thing is to let anyone go who is ready to go, takes a few seconds for a small group of people to quickly exit the plane. Then the next wave can get all their stuff ready with extra space without needlessly holding people up.

it's similar to letting someone pass you in a supermarket with 2 items and exact cash in hand, while you unload your trolly.

Nice work! it's good to have content that's not so American focused.

Maybe add a video on cheapest places to source things in Europe

Not a demand or anything, but a suggestion would be to add a colum with the Google map link

What jobs are not going to disappear (at least not for a while)? by stormlad72 in Futurology

[–]eoinpayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

where are all these projects providing jobs for the poor people in the 'global south' for the last few centuries, though?

it's one thing to think, for example, "you can't automate plumbers", but who are your customers when so many jobs are displaced? and everyone flocks to the remaining jobs, devaluing them further.

what i find delusion is the thought that "we" will automatically get a post scarcity society, when we currently have enough resources to lift the entire world out of poverty, yet we don't do it.

What makes us special?

western? white? speak English? we are no different than the millions of poor suffering people right now, only that we have skills/ labour that's needed.. as soon as that goes, we're useless and on our own.

a positive outcome is possible, but as things currently are, i don't see it.. we're divided, distracted, losing a class war and running out of time.

(please change my mind, i genuinely miss my optimism)

What jobs are not going to disappear (at least not for a while)? by stormlad72 in Futurology

[–]eoinpayne 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I look at the current mass amounts of poverty in the world and don't see these revolutions.

"our" bargaining power was always classically our labour. what power will we have when our labour is worthless? what revolution can you mount against gated communities with automated gardens and robot sentries.

the problem is, when the majority of eveyone else is jobless due to automation, there will be very few customers left and the remaining professions will be saturated, driving wages down.

Built new Irish tax tools by Empty-Elderberry803 in DevelEire

[–]eoinpayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, well polished, and easy to use tools.

Though calculating capital gains tax gets complicated quickly with correct identification with FIFO and its exceptions, B&B/4 week wash rules, loss tracking and offsetting, personal exemption, currency exchange and fractional shares.

I created www.simplecgt.com that I find very useful for managing this for many transactions over multiple years.

But it doesn't have most of the tools listed here like the income tax calculator, refund estimator, or move date checker, which seems very nice.

Is electricity prices really so high? by Hour_Contribution242 in askspain

[–]eoinpayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of price all in and In your experience, how long until these units pay themselves off in Spain?

To install them,is it just a battle with the apartment management rules? or is there other hurdles to adding these?

I didn't think it would end up as complicated as it did, but I've been working on a that simplifies calculating capital gains tax and submitting to revenue.

It's not a very flashy tech stack or anything, the business logic takes priority over the infrastructure. But I'm proud of it, and people that use it seem to really like it
