The government doesn't pay for things from tax... taxes are levied to flatten the playing field and make people more financially equal.

The government raises money by selling bonds to banks that create money out of thin air to pay for them, causing inflation.

This is just a fuck you to make people even poorer attempt.

the uk has been simmering for decades, now we're boiling we havent even noticed

im from the uk, started my own business, became a millionaire through hard work and a bit of luck..

the disdain i get from my parents is sickening, for not following the traditional path of university, career, retire.

i wasn't sure what i was experiencing or why but definitely the summary describes it well, as well as the attitude from friends i grew up with. my dad still thinks i dream too much.

someone i was working with build a very successful SaaS with freehand PHP without a framework, but it was clunky, hard to maintain and kept getting hacked.

they hired a 3rd party to rebuild the service from scratch using laravel, unfortunately the project wasn't managed at all and expectations weren't aligned so after about 12 months and a lot of money wasted the rewrite was scrapped. The biggest problem with this approach was they used the waterfall model and expected everything to come together nicely at the end rather than an agile model of quickly, build, test, release etc.

Eventually they just hired a dev to maintain and make increnetal improvements. the platform is still running.

Personally I'd just take an agile approach. integrate laravel in to the platform to initially just handle auth and hand over the rest of the pages to the old system. laravel's ORM can map to any clunky database, then migrate each of the old pages or features to laravel, one at a time, releasing and testing often until everything has been migrated to laravel and the old site has been phased out.

i used to run an events calendar site on drupal for my local community - it was like a fulltime development job with plugins constantly breaking each other.

Then i discovered wordpress, themes and never touched drupal again - not sure who it's client base is but it's not a cost or time effective solution and anyone still using it has had a good 12 years with better choices around

this is the real grey goo theory

there have been some recent studies showing

* multivitamins dont help you live longer
* multivitamins dont prevent heart disease

and they seem to inspire journalists to come to the conclusion that multivitamins are worthless

this is fake news

Imagine living with a vitamin D deficiency, or scurvy or a magnesium deficiency because of articles like this ðY

are the 1% in the past 8 months.

revÂoÂluÂtion - a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favor of a new system.

almost 1% of the world's population hold bitcoin.

new system in place. check.

yeah, i can do all the stuff he spoke about on raspbian. retropie for christs sake does a lot more than just play quake on the pi 4

Now that the UK, with Brexit, doesn't have to follow EU regulations, we are so lucky we get to flex our soverignity by implementing the EU Extended Producer Responsibility or EPR on OUR terms rather than theirs!!!!

And 100% as a business owner hit by EU's EPR we'd have no choice but to also pass these Defra legislation costs on to our customers.

Once again, the UK has failed at basic economics.

someone from buying an authentic wheel of cheese and a fake wheel of cheese

then taking the microchip off the authentic wheel of cheese and putting it on the fake wheel of cheese

then eating the authentic wheel of cheese

and selling on the fake wheel of cheese to someone?

what else has this study got wrong?
