Laughing Zealot posted:Not from the UK but hasn't the country been in austerity mode for more than a decade at this point? Tarnop posted:Yes. Boris pretended it was over for a bit but predictably most of the promised spending (40 hospitals) was lies or reannouncing budget allocation from years ago Don't forget pretending to 'level up' towns and areas. In reality giving less money and proclaiming they are now better off. 237: Room 237 in The Shining has a sexy ghost in it.

The 'natural two parties of government' going from Tory/Whig > Conservative/Liberal > Conservative/Labour > Labour/LibDem or SNP with the tories relegated to the "but we have ideas too" party would be a hell of a thing to see, even if it probably does just see Labour filling in a One Nation kind of role.

This is way way more serious than it looks I am in fact now currently studying criminology and history at the open university (because I would rather eat nails than continue in social care), one of the absolute inescapable core tenets of criminology and policing, and it's pretty much been set in stone since 1926 by iirc John Rathbone Oliver, is that "common sense" should never ever be used anywhere near policing, the study of policing, or the law. It's pretty much day one poo poo, "this is how to avoid plagurism, and this is why "common sense" is truly terrible for police and the courts." the fact that the actual home secretary chose to use that language in an attempt to berate "the woke" is truly dystopian. If you allow "common sense" into the law then you allow preconceived ideas and stereotypes, it has been proven time and time again in the courts that what people believe to be "common sense" from a legal perspective is meaningless and usually is coming from someone who has a strong bias and no facts. She just let all the worst police officers off the leash, it was actual permission for stop and search for example. "why you stopping me?" "we got told to use common sense" and that is why police have been told to avoid common sense since the 1920s.

happyhippy posted:Don't forget pretending to 'level up' towns and areas. Levelling up was a great success for Boris, because it cost no money and in return Labour have appointed a shadow secretary for levelling up and have completely embraced both the terminology and the framing. I scrolled down to the comments section of a Guardian article earlier (I know I know) and saw multiple commenters using the phrase in earnest and not as a criticism. Total victory.

sebzilla posted:Small point of order in that you'd probably want a JOIN rather than a UNION to connect your phone numbers to your Customers (union just drops one table's rows after the other in your results, join allows you to specify which criteria to match up (in this case the Customer ID) and also what to do about records that don't match up etc.) Ah yeah, right you are. I've edited it so it should be closer now but it's probably still wrong

Halisnacks posted:I don’t know how my hedged statement where I acknowledge there will probably be some horrible catch really shows my love for means testing. I just don’t love transfers of public funds to the rich. Imagine the same concept applied to universal healthcare, and what it would lead to. Universalization has benefits that very frequently outweigh the amount of money you could recoup by trying to find reasons to exclude people who very very definitely don't need the help.

WhatEvil posted:Skip this post if you don't care about databases - but it should help understand what a database is and how it's different to a spreadsheet. Thanks very much for the explanation! I've flirted with coding a wee bit, but the way you described the interlocking systems and logic of it sounds interesting. I used that w3 school before to learn html to implement into this awful sharepoint site for a large government body that was basically held together with hope, so maybe SQL should be the next thing I have a crack at - ta I had a look on twitter and apparently now it just shows deleted tweets, which seems good

Flux Wildly posted:Cool cool cool Bit of a lovely post for the FT this tbh. The actual quotes in the article are pretty clear that it’s worst case scenario, everything that can go wrong does go wrong planning but I doubt most people can access those behind the paywall and just get the dramatic headline that suggests blackouts are likely.

Mumblyfish posted:This is probably real cheeky, but CRMs have been on my mind lately and I do need advice, and Reddit/Stack Overflow just ain't cutting it. Please help, I'm in the public sector, am spending public money, and I need a CRM that's better than insane Excel spreadsheets. We do good work, but are stifled by crap IT, lack of knowledge, and fear of anything not bought from a huge corporation. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to look into, or even some cautionary tales to stay the hell away from certain things? I'm probably not the person to ask re a CRM because I had very little involvement in choosing Salesforce, that was done before I started working there and I've never really looked in to them. As a charity, we get SF for free (with limited number of licences) which was a big part of the decision. The other thing is, we use xero for our accounts and I am fending off all attempts by the trustees to get us to link xero to SF because they'll want to do it on the cheap and kinda expect me to do it out of my paltry hours which they are extremely unwilling to pay for me to do more and I've made it absolutely clear that if they want to go that route they are going to have to (a) pay for a linking package and (b) pay for someone to do it. I'm intrigued how your spreadsheet can read DOCX/PDF files. How do you do that? (PM me if you want rather than clutter up the thread).
