Although I’m uneasy with blocking any democratic right, I do see your point.

However, the voters have kept the SNP in power for 16 years now - there is clearly is still a strong interest in independence. There won’t be many unionist voting SNP for their other policies!

I think Northern Ireland have the right to a referendum every 7 years. That seems reasonable to me.

I would maintain that stance even in an independent Scotland, if unionist groups can get into power with reforming a union with England on the manifesto.

I honestly think the SNP still want independence, and to have a referendum, but they have no official route to get one. Which is completely wrong, democratically speaking.

That’s not to say there aren’t loads of Tories. Just that they almost all tactically voted for Labour to get the SNP out.

If only 80s or even 90s Britain could see Scottish politics now. They would wonder wtf is going on, with Tory/Labour tactical voting and coalitions.

Yeah Usenet was crap for binary downloads long before the BitTorrent protocol was invented.

It’s just so under the radar that it continues to plod along.

I want to play Arkanoid using it.

I’ve come from many years of Java experience to the world of Node/JS.

You can learn JS without TS, but not TS without JS.

TS is just a tightened up JS really.

I agree but I think fundamentally the smart tv hardware is so cheap to bundle in (and gives them hope of revenue) that it probably doesn’t add to the price.

Just set the default HDMI input to something else and ignore.

Microsoft were monopoly seeking/abusing pricks in the 80s/90s/00s but I had just about started to accept that maybe they had changed. Accepting open source and open standards, and competing on their merits in the gaming world.

I was wrong. They’re not as powerful as they were 20 years ago but, having seen this email, their tactics seem unchanged.

I had my doubts until Maltz verified it.

It may have changed recently, but my understanding of it is that you are expected to aim to join the Euro but there is no set timescale.

The ECB summary seems to indicate that they would rather a country is in a stable, fit condition before adopting the Euro. (We probably have Greece circa 2008 to thank for that.)
