As I believe the youth of today say: "for the lulz ?"

Re: Give them a chance

So ironically money with a man on it is only worth 75% as much as the same money with a woman ?

Why is crashing the pound a problem?

So long as you got your trade in, you made out like a bandit. And all your real wealth is in $ in some sunnier island.

But there's no such thing as society !

What do you call a statistician with a Porsche? A data scientist

>undermining the Government and destroying the economy

Logically can you undermine this government AND destroy the economy ?

Now, supporting the government and destroying the economy I could understand. Still with a clean break from 12 years of Tory rule we welcome a fresh new dawn of Trussism

>I'm still waiting for the sharks with lasers

Sorry, sharks aren't kosher - you'll need a different secret world ruling order

Country with the most anti-science politics and education system seems to be doing best.

Re: They tried and they tried...

>..I mean, who in earth would accept a role in an anti science government.

A back bencher who wants a ministerial salary but has no ambition to appear on question time or be blamed for anything ?

Because if STEM was valuable it would pay better than finance, if it doesn't pay as well as finance then it obviously isn't important and should be cut

Re: Give them a chance

>Only if they pay for the uniform and bicycle out of their own wages.

Wages, what Corbynism is this ? They will get a shiny penny as a tip

Re: Give them a chance

Steam sounds a bit grubby northern industrial. The new patriotic internet will be powered by uniformed urchins carrying packets on bicycles

So no need for government interference.

If markets require more STEM then salaries will rise, universities will add places and increase fees to pay for them and Eton will encourage its students to do physics instead of PPE.

Anything else would be socialism and we certainly don't want to sink to the levels of science education in the USSR.

And with the rise of far-right parties in the rest of europe there are bound to be loads of fleeing $ETHNIC$ scientists we can recruit

Re: No problem

And have Android invest some of that in non-malicious autocomplete - sorry

Re: They probably consider it unnecessary in their post-evidence world of rampant ideology

Sure but they did build those awesome space lasers

Re: Fines mean nothing to banks

Apparently neither does the SEC

Re: That Reminds Me...

"I'm shocked — shocked! — to find that gambling is going on in here!"

"Your winnings, sir."

"Oh, thank you very much.

Re: They admitted to it...

For the LIBOR rigging totally reasonable cooperation they were using burner phones connected to wifi hubs in windows on other building across the road.

Re: They admitted to it...

Because all that is the easy part.

The hard part is how do you know that "Spazz69" is really a trader at Deutsche and not a kid in a basement, or a Russian bot, or an SEC agent ?

Even if you met them and confirmed it how do you know their account hasn't been taken over or that they aren't now cooperating with the Feds ?

You need 100% provable identity when making deals and 100% anonymity and deniability when caught - that's mathematically tricky

>should be rubbing it's hands with glee and vastly improving it's delivery network

PG&E are in a weird state, they're effectively a private public company - they are so tightly regulated in what they can charge/spend/borrow that at this point they may as well be nationalised. Nobody is going to lend them the amount of money that they need to invest to improve the grid because their future profits are so circumscribed

Re: More economic suicide to solve and imaginary problem

And anyway I'm going to be dead before this region becomes uninhabitable so why should I care?

Plus - look at my new truck

Re: Wishful thinking

>If you replaced that electric furnace with a heat pump you'd save a lot of energy.

I can't because the government are handing out grants to fit them.

This requires a survey by an official certified heat pump installation engineer.

The official certified heat pump installation engineers are all so busy charging $x00 for a 30minute survey that none of them want to actually install any heat pumps.

Or I can fit one of the individual diy wall mount heat/AC ones in every room and skip the grant.

Re: Wishful thinking

Oh the irony

Our rural backwater doesn't have a gas pipeline so all our furnaces are electric

This means everyone's winter electricity use pushes us into the punitive eco-terrorist tariff once you go over a certain residential usage. Double irony cos all our power is hydro.

Re: Are they mandating the replacement tech?

Nuclear

Yep he should have a stuck to spying on Americans

Can these land in Wales or are they inadvertently single use as well?

Re: The dumbing down is gaining pace

Although you have to wonder if these people are so dumb they would forget about the ground half way down.

The secret of flying (and orbits) being of course, throwing yourself at the ground and missing

Re: Free Speech

>saying "he should be hung" will not

Although saying he should be hung rather than hanged will get a visit from the grammar Nazis

Re: Would that apply to foreign companies?

>but if that was the case, the company wouldn't be making any profit from the market and probably wouldn't enter it.

Good job that there are no government owned foreign media companies who aren't profit motivated

Re: Normal misleading

Boeing got caught with emails from their test pilot saying "we managed totally pull the wool over the eyes of the FAA - aren't we awesome !"

Hopefully they have learned their lesson = never brag about breaking the law on a corporate email system

Since modern cars have builtin touch screens and complex computers - what about solving a series of complex maths problems before you are allowed to start the car?

That way you prevent both drunks and idiots - which together must be a large percentage of accidents.

Of course it might not prevent drunk mathematicians...

Re: Not again...

I blame health and safety - in the old days simple evolution took care of these idiots before their genes could be passed on.

Now the warning labels prevent sufficient bleach in the gene pool
