My brother did a masters in Leiden, it is an absolute fairy tale of a place. Nicest town I've been to. You feel like you're Sherlock Holmes walking along the embankment when it's misty with all those old style lamps.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostGoing to a two day training session on DataRobot in London in a week or so. The absolutely hipist software du jour.
Then another two days hunkering down in Cass Business School to finish off a research paper. Followed by a few days R&R in Leiden. Lovely city.
Wee bit apprehensive after last disastrous outing to Austria. But think I'll be grand. Can't stay holed up in Rennes forever.

Awful lot of smugness on social media/media about what a great job Leo and the boys are doing on brexit and what a mess the brits are making of things , and aren’t the EU great , they have our back etc
Still think they will shaft us in some way on the corporate tax /border when the crunch comes and we won’t be laughing thenComment

Corporation Tax is not an EU competence and will only ever be if we decide to grant it to them.Comment

Surely they might lean on us if we find ourselves in a bind for whatever reason in the near future. Did they not try to lean on us wrt to Corp tax after the financial crisis?Originally posted by Emmet View PostComment

The reality seems to be that a realignment of some potentially major sort will have to be done with taxing of transnational corporations on a continental if not global scale in the coming years. I would think as one of the success stories the EU have to prove the whole endeavour is worthwhile we are fairly likely to have a bit of input into how that shakes out anyway.Originally posted by PSV58 View PostComment

If we get 'shafted' it will be a pragmatic decision in the face of a hard brexit with someone like Johnson in power to accept a border. The compromise will be something like a schedule for a Border poll and maybe agreement to allow Dublin to call a future one.Originally posted by PSV58 View Post
The status quo of a border that is not a border is a circle that simply cannot be squared outside the EU context . Either the UK have such a close trading relationship (Customs union and freedom of movement) that the border is irrelevant or there will be a border with customs and passport controls.Turning millions into thousandsComment

How’s it trumps fault that apple are trying to gouge people out of over a grand for phones give people no compelling reason to upgrade to v their 2 or even 3 year old phones? They are paying the price for being run by a nickel and dining beancounter.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post
It’s a shame the markets cause companies to be so short termist though, there’s been definite move towards iPhones lasting longer due to being supported for software updates for so long, maybe they’ll have to go back to intentionally nibbling them as people are getting by fine on 5 year old 5s phonesComment
