    I doubt Eton's or Harrow's budgets have been cut. And they're what matters, not the grubby oiks from Barnsley who would only grow up to be chavs anyway.

    This is gonna kick us in the teeth as a country as gig workers start to age, get hurt, get sick, and need care.

    It's rather distasteful stepping over them to get into one's limo, but as long as they don't revolt I doubt the 1% would give a shit.

    This is why I save time by searching in reverse order.

  6. II heard it described as "rags to rags in three generations". Somebody from modest origins starts a business, they make their kids work and study hard and when they grow up they either expand that business or go into good professions. The third generation are spoiled and feckless. When the money runs out they're incapable of supporting themselves.

  8. You mean the plumbers? That's why we voted for brexit.

  9. Re:Plugin author here on Former Mozilla CTO: 'Chrome Won' (andreasgal.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Plugins make that worse by occasionally holding up the UI to do their stuff. It's all very minimal, but if you install 2, 3, 5+ plugins it quickly gets to be a problem.

    I wonder how many plugins are installed to replace stuff that used to be there until some Uxtard removed them?

    This. Every release became slower and shittier than the previous one with features that you use removed. But hey, the corners got rounder!

    Having said that I still use it because I like Chrome even less.

    When I have copious free time I might start investigating the alternatives. It's like intermittent toothache.

    There are plenty of us out here (especially in IT) that make very good livings doing contract work (I call each contract I have a 'gig').

    I was unaware of that. It's not as if you go on about it.

    One, as you say, it's a philosophical issue. It goes against the small sharp tools principle, and also people don't like being forced.

    Two, you say it works for you. That's nice, but it seems that there are people for whom it doesn't work, and when it doesn't work it doesn't work big time. It's like a dog that doesn't bite until the day it chews a kid's face off.

    I'm sure some see the gingerbread under the gilt. There should be proper channels for those to apply for conditional readmission.

    The rest? If we lock them up my taxes are feeding them. I have absolutely zero sympathy for them. They can turn round and go back to Syria or jump in the sea for all I care. If you're that bothered about your cousins then make up your spare room and be ready to stand surety for them.

    I can't say I disagree with that. But it's hardly the only case of its kind. Kind of raises the question of why didn't the IRA do this?

    Countries are now allowed, by international law, to make people stateless by revoking their citizenship when they have no other.

    Sounds reasonable to me, but even if they hadn't changed it I'd say stuff international law. It's pretty much imaginary anyway.
