I don't want to misjudge you but the question kind of suggests that no answer will truly satisfy. I mean like you could ask did your eyeball rest upon each word? Did your brain decode the meaning of every word? I don't know. I rea

I think the desire to understand the meaning of everything immediately defeats a lot of readers. If you're willing to read it more like a poem - to just experience it and only understand some portion of what's going on then it is

A piece of fatalistic Irish wisdom may help you here: if it's for you it won't pass you by. Or go to Lefty's and say that Ken sent you.

The aging population in this case are literally offering him free childcare. Bit of quid pro quo wouldn't hurt?

That sounds kind of like what every government dreams of - an institution you fund that does important scientific work and also generates a thriving ecosystem of private sector companies? If that's a scam then please take the shirt off

Why does it upset you? I like the weatherbeaten look. I'm sort of hoping to acquire it over the next 25 years or so.

Predictions are rarely useful. A good description of the present sometimes is a help though.

I object more concretely to the word "simply". Everyone who has some sort of agenda and doesn't actually read stuff starts with the word "simply". I'm tired of "simply" - meaning "listen to me an

I'd be interested in your opinion on the alternatives. Would it have been better for you (and the country) if those businesses had decided in the noughties that Russia was not democratic enough and pulled out? Do you think it would hav

Of course we (the West from my POV) are conducting propaganda. That's war. However at the present level our propaganda is more to do with emphasis and exaggeration. I think the truth is the Russians are not doing great and we're e

Kind of well known but I think bears endless repetition. There will come a time when someone in a very large organization will take an interest in your product. You're going to feel very validated because now you can tell friends, fami

I think you're Anthropomorphizing the Lawnmower here. The author is saying that while at Google these things happened to her because Google is a massive impersonal machine which hires talented, creative and sensitive people, pays them

Absolutely. I am seeing this unfold right in front of me and I'm amazed how happy people are to cut their own throat. I guess it's just because a lot of people have only ever experienced being highly in demand.

I know this is kind of negative: but I don't like nostalgia much and I think I like tech-nostalgia least. Don't get me wrong I like old tech, but just for what it is. Text based, simple, fast etc...but I don't like wallowing

I traveled (as did many at the time) quite extensively in countries around the world with minimal planning and/or knowledge and no phone and it was absolutely fine. Secure personal storage of documents and cash is the only must. Polite

They host "scripts" and "apps" that you can execute against "resources" (i.e. databases etc...). So basically a lightweight, online environment for running code without any deployment? I suppose an example migh

I mean punishment is definitely not my style either, but the idea of "better parents" is a pretty tricky one. Kids are like cards out of a deck. You really can be dealt a very tough hand.

My instinct is to agree. However it depends on the kind of world that we're actually building. If the future is more: remote working controlled/elective social interactions only strong online communities disconnected from their im

I'm really surprised at this take on this case. Depp is a terrible figurehead to choose for such a cause. I've never felt oppressed as a male so I can't really comment on the more general aspect of your view.

That's worth plugging. Thanks.

How is the broadband? I'm in Dublin and often contemplate moving out but I run into connectivity issues in many of my favoured locations.

Not to minimize but in some cultures a bottle of wine might be viewed as an aperitif frankly. My brother in law used to drink 3 or 4 full bottles before he got stuck into his serious drinking. I'm glad to say he eventually kicked alcoh

40% of gas usage in Europe is domestic. I think that's not insignificant. I agree my individual action is not very relevant but I think a widespread adoption of such measures would have an impact on political thinking in Europe. Obviou

I haven't run my gas boiler in 30 days. No heating. No warm showers. Sadly most people I have suggested this to think I'm nuts. And Ireland isn't that cold.

People are not reasonable. They simply have their reasonable moments. If someone is angry because someone else asked for something then I think it's pretty obvious they're not in reasonable-mode.
