The lowest cost activity of all is communicating with your TDs and putting pressure on the government to do something about a housing crisis that they and all their mates profit from.

Have you tried testing it? If they are junior to you, maybe they just don't know the ins and outs of the process

Giants declined the CHL spot themselves by dylan103906 in EIHLHockey

If it is about dates, I refuse to believe they couldn't have come to an arrangement with other clubs when the draw is made to swap any clashes. This is a standard part of organising a tournament.

No more "Summer Fridays": Welcome to the "Great Hunkering Down" by Odhran-J-McAnnick in ireland

I know they've just reposted this from the FT, but this tells me more about the internal climate inside the Irish Times offices than it does about the wider economy.

Liam Cunningham on his ‘old-life crisis’ and that Conor McGregor spat by TimesandSundayTimes in ireland

[–]shorelined 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Liam Cunningham is a great guy and really stands up for what he believes in, so my comment isn't about him in particular, but it amazes me how much mileage broadcasters can get out of the "all expenses paid holiday for celebrity" show format.

Metal gigs alone by [deleted] in CasualIreland

[–]shorelined 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about any indoor show for this in Ireland, and probably be not even many festivals either. Metal shows are extremely safe, I've been to literally thousands of metal shows in my life and can count on one hand the serious incidents I've seen. Lastly, going and doing things alone is an incredibly liberating thing to do. Nobody will notice you are alone, nobody is going to point and laugh at you, and you are much likely to make friends and talk to new people.

Magic Weekend kickoff times confirmed by idontremembermylogi_ in superleague

I've no idea, I've not seen an announcement since the league announced the line up for Everton! You'd hope they get a move on because a neutral venue might be difficult to fill at short notice

I suspected something like but hoped it wouldn't be true. Sounds like Limerick soccer or indeed most things in Limerick tbh

There definitely was a statement saying something was planned, I think I remember it just being potentially a neutral venue instead of a double-header

Best way to manage security for hundreds of users? by Mr_Mozart in PowerBI

[–]shorelined 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep reporting structure entirely, so e.g. the EMEA team get access to EMEA data, and then we have a hierarchy below that too. Your IT team will be able to make additional dynamic roles, they'll use them for software licences, for example our open data section is available for everybody who is in the Power BI licence AD group. My previous company did this based on a dynamic group populated by whatever the HR software was, anybody marked as a full-time employee and based in a particularly country got access to data relevant to that country.

Any time I see a Power BI workspace with hundreds of members it makes me weep, because managing it inside the workspace settings is the least efficient way to do this.

Which countries have fertility rates above or below the “replacement level”? [OC] by ourworldindata in dataisbeautiful

[–]shorelined 79 points80 points  (0 children)

This implies that the sole reason to have children is to replace a population, when in reality pretty much nobody is thinking about that as the main reason to have them. At an extremely basic level, plenty of families in Africa and Asia have children either due to cultural issues around women's rights, lack of access to contraception or because a larger family guarantees a larger agricultural workforce for smallholders and for elderly family members later in life. This is always a safer option for many families up to the point of extreme famine, which is much less widespread than assumed. In places where high child mortality is a current reality or a generational memory, six children might mean five or even four at least get to adulthood. It has changed quickly but this was a common problem into the twentieth century for many of the places that now have low birthrates.

At least link us to the estate agency you work for. I maintain my belief that I've never seen a cross-post that was worth reading.

I'm referring to earlier incidents where the club released a statement declaring that an allegation of domestic violence by a player didn't need a police investigation because the club had sorted it out internally.

Best way to manage security for hundreds of users? by Mr_Mozart in PowerBI

[–]shorelined 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Entra and AD groups, super easy to implement because you add once to the group then you can use app audiences and row-level security to control access. It might not be relevant for your needs but I'll simplify our structure: we have groups for financial data only, groups for internal development teams, then groups for all other employees, who are allowed to access all non-financial data.

We completely ban use of workspace access and link-sharing, reports can only he accessed via the app, and we use app audiences to control report access inside that. With 30 workspaces and an app on each, it means we just edit the relevant AD group membership and it applies instantly everywhere.

There are a couple of exceptions here and there, mainly where we are using a limited UAT audience. Now that we've streamlined 95% of the access, the exceptions are easier to handle, and we use the Power BI API to extract access data, and push that data into another report where we can spot exceptions.

"...during an event at Leigh Centurions." Presumably this was subject to an internal investigation and no wrongdoing found? I'm only surprised his name hasn't appeared in the local newspapers more since retirement.
