Members of public to be selected for ‘honest conversation’ about MPs’ pay
  • I have no problem with MPS being compensated for their time the problem is they've been compensated despite not doing their jobs. Don't turn up to parliament and don't have a good reason, is it because you're randomly in the US well I guess he wasn't doing your job. No payment.

    Any work that MPS do in addition to their jobs as MPS has to be done entirely out of hours and cannot interfere with their duties.

  • Microsoft suck at naming things in general. It's a problem across every single branch of the business, people keep calling Office 365 0365 because Microsoft insists on calling it O365 and people think that's a zero. Also the name makes no sense anyway, why not call it Microsoft Office Online?

    Then we have Microsoft Azure, except they renamed that to Entra despite the fact that both names are stupid. Then of course there is the entirety of the Windows OS lineup.

  • I can't see streaming games being anything other than a niche market. It puts the burden onto the streamer, in order to be competitive they look after constantly be upgrading their offering, they will have to have multiple server centres around the world, they will always be beholden to crappy ISPs who just don't upgrade their infrastructure.

    With local hardware you shortcut all of that, upgrading of your hardware is done by the user so they're not going to complain if it's out of date, you don't have to have any server centres, and the ISP issues either don't matter for single player games that were massively reduced for multiplayer games, now they don't actually have to send video over the connection. .

  • What are you talking about you can buy a PC for less than the price of a PS5 and it will be better than the PS5. The advantage of gaming consoles has always been that it's plug and play. You just turn it on and there you go.

    Sony aren't going to create a revolutionary GPU that's only available in the PS6. They might try and charge $1,000 for it but they will always be other options. Where do you think they get their components from? They don't have their own fab.

  • Did you delete that because you realise how stupid the comment was? Because apparently you don't know what IP is either. It doesn't mean somebody can steal your work just because you give it for free it just means that people will be able to read it.

    It worries me that you're apparently a scientist, hopefully not one in charge of hazardous materials because you sound like this sort of person that would get outwit by your own reflection.

  • Bad advice for scientists
  • Scientific findings are IP

    Yeah, how is your research going to do any good if people can't access it? If you want to be in the for-profit industry go work in a for-profit industry.

  • My professor just used to ask the authors of the papers for a copy. I don't think anyone ever had any problems with emailing him a copy of their work. After all they want their work to be cited. That's the whole point

  • Spoiler text renders as white on white when revealed

    When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

    When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

    See images below for demonstration.

    !spoiler text is hidden

    !spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

    !text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
