Also, this recent classic: I will fucking piledrive you if you mention AI again was really illuminating.
Ireland seems to be making a reasonable fist of having English and Irish; most business is conducted in English […]
Historically, that’s mostly because of colonial rule by the English government.
For decades (if not centuries) the Irish language was severely suppressed and might have even died out, if not for the continued efforts by the Irish people to preserve their language and cultural identity.
A combination of the introduction of state funded […] primary education, from 1831, in which Irish was omitted from the curriculum till 1878, and only then added as a curiosity, to be learnt after English, Latin, Greek and French […]. The National Schools run by the Roman Catholic Church discouraged its use until about 1890.
It’s only quite recently that Irish has become an official language in Ireland:
In July 2003, the Official Languages Act was signed, declaring Irish an official language, requiring public service providers to make services available in the language […]
Of course, the fact that Ireland is trading a lot with the UK and other countries in the anglosphere and EU, is a reason to keep English as a major language.
I heard that somewhere in the US there were parts of a nuclear power plant being delivered by steam train. So that’s basically one steam engine supplying another! (^^,)
I can’t seem to find an article about it anywhere, so it might be an urban legend :(
The question was about client trust, which the server doesn’t. If the shot wasn’t possible, it’s not valid and did not happen.
how do you design a server to be “better” if it has to trust data from a remote client?
The linux kernel contains more profanity than this meme…
Ah yes, that’s the difference. Thanks!
But then they’re drinking irradiated water, no?
Unless it’s really easy to remove the radiation safely, this doesn’t seem like the right solution.
That’s already been going to the wrong people for decades now.
The least drastic solution would be something like UBI, where a lot of people would be miserable, but at least will be able to put food on the table. (In case you’ve seen The Expanse series, I imagine that something like the part where Bobbie asks for directions on Earth).
A more drastic solution would be to not tie the worth of people to the amount of work they do or the amount of wealth they have.
