Is there a market for 60yo COBOL programmers with 20 years experience? I'm due to retire in the next couple of years and wouldn't mind a paid hobby working abroad for a while 😁

I need to refresh my COBOL skills (30 years experience up to 2010) before I retire in 3 years! Our last VAX/COBOL system is due for retirement next year.

I presume the debate is simply about how we express our neutrality?

Nobody is advocating for a change in our militarily neutral position.

And there's no option for one agency to pick up the phone to ask another agency for a bit of help?

What if you had to take your drivers test at least every 10 years?

A lot changes over time. Including knowledge/memory of the road rules, driver skills and ability, and the size and deadliness of vehicles.

Has any successful recipient ever demanded the peace prize? It just doesn't seem like the sort thing a peacemaker would do 🤷‍♂️

If she can represent clients on the opposite side of the ideological divide then she should be able to sign into law any legislation passed by the Oireachteas without delay or attachment of personal opinion.

Maybe not the worst thing.

I thought Donald Trump might sweep the board this year.

“absent the AI boom we would probably have lower interest rates [and] electricity prices, thus some additional growth in other sectors. In very rough terms that could maybe make up about half of what we got from the AI boom.”

This is not good. It's killing growth everywhere else.

Across Europe, the electric-scooter backlash is in full swing.

But a new study found that the injury risk for e-scooters is actually 2.5 to 10 times lower than for e-bikes.

Europe is saying no to electric scooters. The data says not so fast.

E-scooters may have been prematurely maligned. A new study suggests they are safer than electric bikes.

New evidence strengthens the case for 30 km/h limits

Across Europe, lower speed limits are proving to deliver safety, noise and quality-of-life benefits. In Wales and Amsterdam recent data reinforce that slower speeds can bring big benefits.

Hopefully it doesn't take 15 years for the US public to become fed up with the current regime in Washington.

I'm sure uncontroversial comics like Jimmy Carr will be fine. 🫣
