Right, but are most developers in the private sector covered by a collective agreement?

No, i don't think so.

The thing about a Netflix room for sick kids really reminded how good we've got things in Denmark. I have two days off every time a kid gets sick, no questions asked, as does my partner. I work in the public sector though, so I'm

I'm not sure the Danes were ever military only, Denmark was also an agricultural society during the viking period. As I understand it, the viking raids were in fact organised around the agricultural calendar, with the two raiding seas

Wikileaks seem to be claiming the attack for their supporters here: https://mobile.twitter.com/wikileaks/status/7895744362194493... Any evidence to support that?

I think you're right about this, but I wonder how feasible this is in a country like Sweden where most of the complicated manufactured goods that break easily are probably produced elsewhere and the population is not big enough for for

It's a good idea to make this more visible, but they should also make it visible when a repository does not have a license. If they did the UI right this would encourage developers to license their code in the same way that Facebook en

Personally, I really like her writing style. She's very honest about the things she doesn't know, which I find a lot easier to relate to than blogposts by some random internet gurus. Behind the self-deprecation she has a lot of re

It seems like a really bizarre case from a European perspective. If one concluded that the theatre was liable for the actions of a gun carrying lunatic wouldn't the same apply for all service providers acting in public space? Concerts,

This hunting method features in Kim Stanley Robinson's Shaman where the Ice Age hunters use similar structures to corral migrating caribou. In his account (presumably based on scientific speculation), the hunters glut themselves with m

I've seen this described as the Just World fallacy. It's pretty engrained in our culture, with supposed religious mechanisms being gradually supplanted by pop scientific theories.

Plenty of terrorist movements throughout history have succeeded, perhaps we don't call them terrorists though because they have had the chance to rebrand themselves. Just to give an example from Ireland, there was terrorism on both sid

This seems like a really good resource but as another poster mentioned, it is unfinished and going from the GitHub there hasn't been any work done on it since December 2015. Of course, the developer may well return to it or a fork may

sorry, my first comment was inaccurate, Ireland was a dependent but united political entity prior to the Act of Union in 1801. I've corrected it now.

by rmchugh 10y ago
No, after the act of Union it was part of the United Kingdom of Ireland and Great Britain, ruled by the British crown and Westminster. Prior to that it was actually a distinct political entity (The Kingdom of Ireland) with its own parliamen

The whole island of Ireland was never an independent state. Partition was a condition of the Independence treaty. Ireland as a political entity has only ever been the 26 counties. According to this study from 2013, only 15% of the populatio

It makes it a lot more concrete for me. I can see not only all of my search activity, browsing etc, but also that my partner has done on our shared tablet. It's creepy. But it did make me aware of a Chrome setting to disable activity t

Comparing sci hub to napster is a bit misleading. Elseviers customers are not individual scientists, they're university libraries who pay huge sums to get massive bundles of journal licenses. I have an extremely hard time imagining uni

Incredible that they would ship something so potentially damaging when they openly acknowledge that it's unreliable. It would be trivial to include an emailed request for confirmation to the subject before spamming her/his contact

I'm reminded of the book 'Wasted Lives' by Zygmunt Baumann. In it he describes how the ever changing nature of capitalism constantly creates a population that is surplus to requirements. Think of what happens to dockside comm

communists say the same thing, I don't think you can completely separate a theory and its implementations though.
