A Northern-Ireland Brexit solution

If the whole of Northern-Ireland (NI) would be made into a free trade zone. It would:

  1. boost the Norther-Irish economy
  2. boost the Irish economy
  3. The UK can do this (declaring NI a Free trade zone)
A consequence will be that the border around NI has to be made tight. As well the sea border as the land border with Ireland. But not because of the EU but because of Northern-Ireland her new special status.

De EU en de crypto war! Overheid zie toch eens de kansen!!

  Naar aanleiding van het uitstekende artikel van Fred Hage in de Computable van  27 november 2020. Overheden worstelen met End-to-end encryptie en ‘lawful interception’. Met andere woorden privacy op internet aan de ene kant en de mogelijkheid criminaliteit te onderzoeken aan de andere kant. Het blijft me verbazen dat overheden blind zijn voor de kansen die dit dilemma biedt! Stel "ik kan bij de NL-overheid mijn encryptie regelen" (met de wetenschap dat ze mee kunnen kijken). Dan doe ik dat toch zolang ik niets te verbergen heb! Dus: Overheid wordt eens wakker en bied zelf encryptie services aan!

De diensten kunnen dan vertrouwd verkeer van onvertrouwd verkeer onderscheiden. Ze kunnen vertrouwd verkeer direct, eventueel automatisch, onderzoeken. En me...

Localization is not one class, they are four

It is rather stupid that localization and language in web-apps are the same. They are not one, but separate classes. While US English is the dominant language in science, the old Roman Imperial measurement system is not. One should be able to use en-US for spelling etc. While using metric measure; ISO date format and in numbers the ‘,’ for thousand separator and the ‘.’ for decimal separator. So there is not 1 class, there are four: language; measure-system; dating-system and number-notation system.

Salary scale-up percentage under pressure

 In my earning norm model , I have lowered the scale-up to adapt to the crisis. What is the scale-up? The scale-up is the gross salary multiplier from the scale below. So from the bottom salary every next scale salary is multiply with the scale-up from the lower scale. This scale-up was 1.45 (thus + 45%). But this figure will come down the coming time because of the economic insecure times we are about to experience. Depending on the economic developments it probably has to be lowered in the coming months. I will follow the developments and adapt the model accordingly. Scale up It is now 1.3 (+30%)
