| schestowitz__ | It is certainly worth looking at the full results of the study. There are just so many red flags indicating increased psychological stress amongst EPO staff. | Feb 19 06:13 |
| schestowitz__ | The EPO management can say what they like about working conditions, but it is how the staff experience those conditions that really matters. On literally every measure, the long term trend is negative, sometimes profoundly so. Yet the AC fiddles whilst Rome burns. | Feb 19 06:13 |

| schestowitz__ | Nonsense Parker writes persuasively. I liken what has happened at the EPO with what has happened to the British National Health Service. In both cases, a real scandal. | Feb 19 06:14 |
| schestowitz__ | Politicians are in thrall to “the market” and to business “consultants”. These international accountancy firms explain to them that the market is the way to get “value for money”. These consultancy firms are parasites, like the Herpes Simplex virus. They make sure that, once they have wormed their way into an organisation, it becomes impossible for the organisation to rid itself of the parasite because all management | Feb 19 06:14 |
| schestowitz__ | systems have become dependent on the parasitical consultancy services firm. Money for old rope, from then on, till the organisation fails and the vampire consultants move on to the next host body. | Feb 19 06:14 |
| schestowitz__ | Of course, the humans that work for these management consultancies have no appreciation of what it is other than money that drives a public servant (such as a medical doctor or a judge, or a Patent Office Examiner or a Formalities Officer, or an IT support person) towards career excellence, towards trying their hardest, every day. The consultants truly know the price of everything. They really do have no idea at all, it seems to | Feb 19 06:14 |
| schestowitz__ | me, of the value of anything. Not my job, I’m sure they would say, to ascribe a “value” to anything. Rather, they would say, Pilate-style, it’s their client (here the Administrative Council) that has to make those decisions. | Feb 19 06:14 |
| schestowitz__ | Perhaps C19 has some benefit in that it is reminding us all that there are some aspects of the general welfare of a decent human society that politicians and preening managers cannot solve with mere accounting techniques, that these accounting obscenities are damaging rather than nurturing human society. | Feb 19 06:14 |
| schestowitz__ | The Constitution of the United States of America invokes as a goal the “general welfare” of society. How about that? I just don’t know how to bring our elected politicians around to a more sophisticated view of what nourishes the general welfare of our society here in Europe. | Feb 19 06:14 |

| Techrights-sec | I added a few words about updating, to the Gemini start page, but in general | Feb 19 17:24 |
| Techrights-sec | it would help to run gemin-cron-update.sh before announcing an new article. | Feb 19 17:24 |
| Techrights-sec | That ensures that the RSS feed is read into Gemini first. | Feb 19 17:24 |
| schestowitz__ | Yes, I have indeed been aware of it, but for the time being I assume not so many people will follow >INTO GEMINI< .... >FROM SOCIAL CONTROL MEDIA< (WWW), so it'll be worth the CPU effort (script) more so in the future... maybe can even narrow update windows further | Feb 19 17:25 |
| Techrights-sec | Should it be every hour? | Feb 19 17:32 |
| schestowitz__ | I suppose it can do no harm if update cycles are short (about 1 minute) | Feb 19 17:32 |
| Techrights-sec | That would hammer the HTTP server when asking for RSS feeds. | Feb 19 17:34 |
| Techrights-sec | There is something not right about the RSS feeds. They seem generated | Feb 19 17:34 |
| Techrights-sec | on the fly rather than generated upon update and then saved to a static | Feb 19 17:34 |
| Techrights-sec | file. | Feb 19 17:34 |
| Techrights-sec | Best to update manually. I can make a script or icon for that, if | Feb 19 17:34 |
| Techrights-sec | it would be helpful. | Feb 19 17:34 |
| schestowitz__ | at the moment I link to http first, hours later also to gemini, depending on time of day, so it's no big deal... and I assume not many people access it from www anyway... not yet when gemini is small | Feb 19 17:35 |
