OK groovy gang, here's a problem which you have zero power to solve. How are you going to solve it? Note that I'm going to remind you that you have no power to do anything you suggest.

Surely he knows that the president is subject to security protocols that can change daily.
The need for him to inject himself into the narrative is so petty.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

You seem to be blaming Europe for Google being a monopoly. The point isn't about unbundling Chrome, which obviously everyone wants, its that now there is unbundling on principle, so Google can't just load some future abusory app as required on phones and thus competition has a chance. They have to genuinely win market share. And whatever the cost is will be negligible.
Apple developed their own proprietary operating system, IOS, and sell more units than any other brand. Microsoft entered the market with Windows Mobile but failed mainly because of the “app gap” where independent software producers chose not to develop products for that platform.
Manufacturers like Samsung use Android because in commercial terms it benefits them to avoid the costs associated with building/testing/marketing their own operating system when they have access to a free platform with existing market penetration.
I just find this clash between two very different but powerful forces, commerce and government, interesting when each can have such significant impact on our daily lives.
My post wasn’t intended to take sides or lay blame, merely to present the news and provide a little background.

How a campaign of targeting a particular section of society in a presidential election is seen as a valid strategy shows how populism is being adopted and the distain he has for the rest of us.

It's a fucking jokeshop Mick, you cannot run for president of a country by attacking an already marginalized section of it's people.
He's a barstool populist and the sooner he's ostracized the better imo.
"He's speaking his mind" and "saying what we are all thinking" is what I honestly expect to hear over the next few days.
There was vacuum of this brand of populism in Ireland. I guess we have caught up nowPeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

For all those who love the poor marginalised Travellers. Would you like it if a random family were selected to live next door to you? How would you feel if cars were broken into soon after? What would you assume?
I bet the truth will revear something about your own true feeling on them but sure there will be no admissions here today. Right?
Speaking from experience , a large % of the travellers I’ve met do not respect private property, be it land, cars or whatever they can get their hands on. I’m sure the rest are grand though, tis just a way of life.

Having said that I'm very aware that no part of the reason I have a nice life and a good job while so many of them have no work, no prospects and no interest is because I am genetically superior and/or was born with a different moral compass and work ethic.
We're all mostly good contributing members of society here and yet we still have loads of problems and difficulties. How well do we all think we would be doing if we had the misfortune of being born on a halting site?
Like, how exceptional does a random traveller born in Ireland today have to be to have a genuine chance of getting a degree, being hired to a good job and at some point in the future being allowed into a shop or pub? And remember if he was sitting beside you you still wouldn't know he had a job or a degree so you would still probably be calling him a knacker in your own mind.Last edited by Keane; 18-10-18, 11:34.

One of the Dublin families brought a continuous supply of junkies to the house who were directly responsible for a huge increase in break ins in the area. One day I found a scummer crashed in a soft ditch with a needle hanging out of his arm.Turning millions into thousands

Originally posted by ionapaul View PostWow, that sort of stuff is cool. Just makes me very concerned for those of us who work with words or are in the creative space, how long do we get before the AIs and bots come for our jobs?!
The people who hand wrote books all lost their jobs, ended up in the poor house and died horrible deaths- you are right to be terrified.
People are always talking about recruitment as an industry that will be automated by AI. Large chunks of the labour intensive stuff will and is being automated but selling will remain a human game.
In your side I would see huge potential to automate research and collate information - as the amount of crappy content and data grows faster than verified information this will become critical. Interviews, deciding what’s pertinent and sitting with the business to decide what message they are actually wanting to put out will be human for a long time.

Re London, we rent a 3 bedroom 90 Sq m, in camden for £2150, which is more than what we were paying for a 4 bedroom house in foxrock which was probably twice the size of this one.
