    Programmers can't even organize themselves well enough to get offices with doors, how can we expect programmers to effect moral change?

    The railway engineers who worked out the timetables for Sobibór and Bełżec likely had a good explanation for why it was better to do the loathsome job competently than leave it to the less skilled and virtuous.

    A limerick is seldom essential, And this one is inconsequential, Just the standard five lines, And some dubious rhymes, And it’s pointlessly self-referential.

    This is the nub of the issue with Boris. Is he a columnist, with a pulpit and broad discretion on how to use it, but little direct power? Or is he a politician, with power but the weight of responsibility that accompanies it? To try to have both is cakeism, pure and simple.

    I usually defend comedians’ right to say provocative things in comedy clubs. Bad jokes will be booed or heckled. People may leave in protest. But politicians are not comedians - their words, their jokes even, carry greater weight

    A key misunderstanding about the EU is, I think, based on this quirk of translation. Juncker, Tusk, Tajani, and the rotating Council Presidency are Présidents in the sense of Chairman. Macron, Trump, and other elected heads of state are Présidents in the sense of President. 1/

    Verified by Visa is just a terrible idea, terribly done. It just _screams_ of a shittily executed scam. I've just spent ten minutes making sure is indeed not a phishing site. A decade of banks conditioning their customers to fall for scams.

    But we don’t. In its current Europhobic iteration Labour is every bit as toxic as the Conservatives and possibly even less competent. You don’t get to assume you’re the good guys, even if the other side are the bad guys. You’ve got to earn it. Labour won’t even try.

    'Let's Stop Educating Doctors To Such A High Standard' would look great on the side of a bus.

    EU regulations currently prevent doctors from qualifying before five years of training. Just one of countless examples of EU "market building" that do nothing of the sort, instead causing disruption and impairing UK policymakers.

    Wow. Amazon just popped up an interstitial page during checkout to remind me that Amazon Prime includes streaming video -- in the middle of the purchase path! That's pretty badass / reckless by whoever is responsible for that conversion rate.
