I don’t know, but Inuit Ataqatigiit is a political party, not an environmental group. Eco-friendly mining is somewhat of an oxymoron but there are ways to reduce the impact of mining.

It's not a stand against non-polluting energy, it's a stand against this particular mining operation. Non-polluting energy is non-polluting locally where it is used, however the supply chain still has the potential for large envir

I think this is as much an issue with your leadership roles than it is with daily stand ups in general. I worked with teams where stand ups are requested & seen as important by the team. Personally, I see the aim of stand up to inform t

Bribery. The military has separate networks which it doesn’t shutdown and if you know the right people and have the cash, then it’s possible to get added to it.

The employer might have had practically unlimited resources in terms of money but it did not have unlimited resources in terms of qualified air traffic controllers and this is where the leverage normally is. Replacing employees in most jobs

Depressingly, the scam he used (claiming to run advanced trading algorithms to guarantee a profit for his 'investors' and using MLM to spread the con) is repeated over and over again and seemingly impossible to stop. One of my in-

Over 60 years you would have to account for the many other factors that also affected mortality, for example better healthcare. That would increase the statistical error and reduce the validity of the results. And it isn't really neces

It does depend upon your usage of the word because for many people the common parlance definition of crime is to do something against the law, rules, regulations, etc... not a specific legal definition. Words and their meanings are importan

As I said elsewhere, planning permission has been required since 1948 and so is by no means a new thing. Restrictive planning rules are a constant for architects & developers. Even the permitted development rules can be quite restrictiv

You own the land but UK laws say that the local people, via the council, get a say in what happens on the land. That's just how it is and everyone who owns property in the UK knows this. Whilst empty buildings are an issue, it is not a

The Telegraph has them as buying the property in 2014. [1] When you purchase a property in the UK you agree to abide by the planning regulations. So they were legally required to follow the planning process, which is that you need permissio

Sounds like you're in the US (apologies if assumption is incorrect). If so, and for other, it’s worth considering that each country has its own way of doing things and that context is important. Whilst I am sometimes in despair about t

In the UK planning permission is required for building works and they did not have the permission needed to start development. Depends on your exact definition of "crime" but it went against the law of the land and was an act subj

It isn't about deleting history, it's about not teaching the same thing as was taught in the past. Normalisation of the depiction of racist serotypes in books & media normalises racism. It's subtle but in conversations I&

Probably not directly, but it has that effect by proxy and the initial segregationist motivation is still in force. It's 2021 but the divides in wealth, living standards, outcomes, etc... still echo the racial divisions of the past. Hu

The advice against co-sleeping is a typical simplification of advice, where nuance is removed and all parents should receive the same, simple advice. Peter Blair, based at the University of Bristol, has done some great work studying deaths

Good point, I should have mentioned that cash is still accepted almost everywhere. I think the crime thing might not be a direct link, as a bank robber and an opportunistic street thief are probably different people. There is less opportuni

I think there is an understandable political element to this, in that people want to see a reduction in the death rate from Covid-19 and politicians are judged on the number of deaths. So vaccinating those most likely to die makes perfect s

This is false equivalence. Whilst the media can influence people, including politicians, there is very little in common between the lead up to the Iraq war and the mass murders the parent poster is referring to.
