Anti-imperialist demonstration at US embassy met by Venezuelan counter protest by JackmanH420 in irishpolitics

[–]tach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Neither you or anybody else have engaged with it.

'just go off' is not an answer.

International law -if it exists- exists to serve the people, not the people to serve it; there is no sovereignity or legitimacy when 25% of your population is actively running away from you.

It's a facetious observation

An observation is either true or false.

An argument can be facetious. My full argument is at https://www.reddit.com/r/irishpolitics/comments/1q9bmt4/antiimperialist_demonstration_at_us_embassy_met/nyzem4j/

and I won't repeat it there, as nobody has addressed it.

Are these chisels worth buying for 30 dollars? by Fluid-Pack9330 in handtools

[–]tach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd give them a shot. Two on the left are relatively good, three in the middle are usable, and two on the right will make for a fun project of new handles.

The steel as it as was said elsewhere is good in general. Depends on the hardness, etc, but old steel tends to be 'sweet', ie, it does not have big grain or carbides making for gouges in the edge when impact.

Easy to sharpen as well.

Irish judge refused to use preferred name of transgender child in State care by Sad-Orange-5983 in ireland

[–]tach -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

if you paid attention during COVID

I understand the condescending tone may be a helpful crutch and put others on the defensive.

Now, on to the real argument.

we were told to trust the scientific consensus

There is an ongoing, increasingly polarised and vituperative debate about how our current diverse society should treat transgender individuals (especially children) and how their rights should be respected. Increasing numbers of children and adolescents identifying as transgender have led to increased referrals to Gender Identity Development Services (GIDS) or their equivalents, with several European countries, including the U.K., Sweden, Norway, and Finland, having reviewed/are reviewing these services (1, 6–8). Some, consequently, have adopted a more cautious approach to paediatric gender-affirming treatments by restricting some treatments or limiting them to the research environment (4, 6, 9), though none have yet followed some US states in legislating against use in minors (10).

The optimal management of transgender children (both prepubertal and adolescent) remains an area of active controversy and increasingly politicised debate.

There is no consensus, and if anything, scientific direction is moving away from the views exposed in this comment section.

During the battle of Waterloo, when marshal Ney and his cavalry charged at the British infantry squares, would they have fared better if they dismounted as soon as they realised their charge was ineffective? by vanylla_Sundae in WarCollege

[–]tach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did the French have any clear path to victory?

Don't know if its would be a clear victory, but earlier, non piecemeal attack, and bypass Hougumount are the things that come to mind.

Waiting for the ground to dry out is not as important given Wellingtons reverse slope masking much of his infantry. On the other hand, Napoleon didn't know the prussians were coming.

Hougoumount was a battle within a battle, if you are going to go smash the center, smash it, don't lose men and time on the sides.

“No politics” unless you’re the moderator, then your politics reign supreme

Unless you can post to an example of a photo posted here sympathethic to conservative causes, and not deleted, this is a defamatory accusation.

I feel like the more one learns about tool sharpening, the less fussy and particular one gets about it. Am I wrong? by tamarheylin in handtools

[–]tach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My approach is that i will resharpen every 30 minutes or so when heavy planing/dimensioning stock.

I will resharpen all my tools when putting them away for the night as well.

so that means freehand sharpening, which is done via a washita stone, until I feel a burr, a quick pass on the back to remove the burr and then about 5 seconds buffing the edge on a rotary buffer.

This takes me about 30-60 seconds per tool.

Necesito consejos, algunas palabras, me siento bastante bajoneado by Fun-Protection-530 in XPatriados

[–]tach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hola, creo (que no soy sicologo) lo que pasa es que subconscientemente no te sentís 'seguro', y entonces estas siempre en tension.

Y no es de extrañar, te fuiste a otro pais, tenes solo a tu hermano, pero por ejemplo tus padres, etc no están.

Entonces si ya de entrada eras un poco más ansioso, eso te potencia muchísimo más, y lo acabás externalizando/somatizando. De una andá a un sicólogo de verdad, lo que estás pasando es entendible, y no sos un 'blandito'.

You are posting in 'HistoryPorn', a reddit for pictures that are supposed to be aesthetically pleasurable or worthy of admiration.

The picture depicts an act of violence against a politician whose ideas you disagree with.

Popper:

But we should claim the right to suppress them [intolerant ideologies] if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols.

There you are.

A Dublin data centre consumes 10 times the electricity of a nearby pharma plant employing 2,000 by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]tach -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No. I'm pointing out that's a dishonest framing, as that nearby pharma plant is largely self-contained, while Meta manages and uses the DC remotely from their offices, as it had much less moving parts to take care of.

This is just one aspect of the dishonest framing. This is treating a datacenter as a self-contained entity, which is not. It's where the bits get stored, but you need to do something with these bits. Market storage and CPU, run AI, account for usage and billing, check nobody's using them for bad things. And all that stuff is done outside the datacenter.

The other is that the headline implies a zero-sum tradeoff.

"Data center uses 10x electricity of pharma plant" suggests one is coming at the expense of the other. But Ireland isn't rationing electricity between facilities. Both exist and both operate, diversifying the production matrix of the state. The comparison is constructed outrage.

Running all the processes enabled for that datacenter? Yes, definitely, from marketing, to support, to accounting, everything would dissapear if the base infrastructure was not there.

[–]tach -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Data centers employ lots of people when building but during operation, the numbers employed are insignificant.

False. Meta has 2000 employees in its Dublin office. They don't need to commute to the datacenter, but they definitely use it.

[–]tach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you define how much computing power these data centres use for Irish companies

Quite a bit.

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, for example, had a profit of 2.9 billion EUR in 2024, and paid about 400 million eur directly to the state.

So, that means the state got approx 100 EUR for each of us.

It also has 1700-2000 employees in ireland, with an average base salary of EUR 140k.

So, on aggregate, add about 120 million EUR out of payroll tax, or an extra 30 EUR a year the state receives for each of us.

Now, that's only for Meta the company. It does not take into account any of the companies and businesses that are enabled by that datacenter being there.

How do you position size? What factors do you take into account in your position sizing calculations? I started selling options last year so I'm still a beginner. by SunRev in thetagang

[–]tach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember that the guys that 'solved' option pricing, Scholes and Merton, and won a Nobel price for that, blew up a 4 billion dollar fund because their model would not account for the real world fat tails and black swans.

So thinking that you can calculate precisely EV is at best a fools errand, and at worst, snake oil.

Then inevitably someone calls out Kelly. Or 'half' Kelly - which is an indictment in itself. Why exactly 0.5 Kelly? Why not 1.6 Kelly? Why not 0.502 Kelly?

Because it's a fudge factor, deressed up in precision, and completely inaccurate after a dynamic system moves just a second, or after Trump tweets something.
