| After adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity and education, roughly 1 in 100 taxi and ambulance drivers died of Alzheimer’s, compared with 1 in 60 people overall. They claim to …

I've found the only thing that will actually work for cases like this is a programmatic hook to block Claude from the action. Non-deterministic behavior via code.

I personally find it hard to read my own handwriting sometimes and I really have tried to improve for years. In an exam situation though its extra pressure to write quickly so its …

It's "easy". You just spend a couple of years reviewing PRs and working in a professional environment getting feedback from your peers and experience the consequences of code. Ther…

Demand has gone up largely because of data centers. Supply has not increased enough so expensive options are the marginal supplier. Grids costs are also build into tariffs. What is…

They are the same side of the coin but one has a much larger effect then the other depending on where your are. Energy has always been expensive in Ireland and home insulation poor…

It's actually fine in theory but it's nearly impossible to build anything in Ireland due to the way the planning laws work. In an ideal situation we would be seeing a ramp up in pr…

Agreed. As I said in another comment it is a policy decision to rely on market forces while making little effort to reform the planning process. We should be a world leader in wind…

21% of all energy is now being consumed by data centers with not enough investment in new forms of energy generation. This is a policy decision by the government. More realisticall…

| more and more cost-of-living protests They must have been real quiet. Most the protests are related to how expensive it has become to rent / buy in this country. Ireland has enco…

The graph on the BMI calculator is incorrect. While it is a pretty minor bug how many other "minor" bugs are in these tools. It's great to produce something for free but if it woul…

They work based on what someone is prepared to enforce and the laws of the country they try to enforce it in. Having it written and signed isn't some magic catch all. I'm sure they…

I understand the difference. Most jobs would like to own your 24/7 for minimum wage. They can also have clauses about discussing pay or other gray / illegal points. Just because yo…

This is what a probation period should be for. Even with all of the above you normally still have to pass probation. I've seen numerous people in the EU get let go in their 6 month…

I think it is. Employers love to include whatever they can in a contract. Non competes in Canada and the EU are generally not enforceable but you see them regularly. Why should thi…

Its is about as misleading as saying "X% of them are not wearing a seatbelt" the helmet comparison is not fair here. In every US state (as far as I can tell) you are required to we…

If you want to go further back in time you can check out IBM DOORS. Though it does have some great features you see shoehorned into Jira these days.

The EU also has charge backs as well. I would have assumed all credit cards would have this as a feature.

The best one I have every seen is O\apostropheRourke for a car rental in France. I have no idea how they thought that was a good idea!

Well in this case they were explicitly allowed it just caused problems down the line when other system attempted to consume them. String come up again and again as a hard issue to …

Totally agree with the sentiment. It has gotten a lot better in the last 10 years. Very frustrating to have your name blacklisted by that. It does seem most system have a very US f…

I can very much relate to this but also have very little sympathy here. I have a special character in my name, an apostrophe, and it causes trouble regularly online and with toolin…

After having to read through about 50 resumes today, so we could interview a max of 4 people for 1 position it's really hard to tell who's is good / bad. I found the easiest thing …

Totally agree and your chances of actually make the 100s must be minutely small

In a lot of places though you can have a good life, work 9-5, be well paid and not have to worry about all the headache that occurs from running a business. You might not end up a …
