Booking sites went to shit the moment they started making money with affiliate

Now you can't trust rankings anymore because they are affected by how much commissions they make

Booking was forced by EU to admit this and it's literally on their site!

https://t.co/4p4dzTEtCE is free and doesn't use any affiliate programs

In 2005, the environmental impact statement for the Luas was 176 pages.

Twenty years later, the report for the extension to Finglas is… over 7,000 pages.

@MichealLehane Building a new car releases a lot of CO2, and by removing a large number of older, functional cars - the 2nd hand market shrinks, thus increasing prices for poorer customers.

Result = increased cost of living and calls for more support for those impacted.

Awful shame Bobby McCaul has got hurt & was great to see the high ball in on top of the big man working out

@sharper888 @TomasORuanaidh @RTEsport I agree - nothing in it but there should be consistency.

After Galway West and Dublin Central, maybe it is time to stop pretending Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, Labour, Sinn Féin and the Social Democrats are wildly different things and just call it what it looks like: one massive party of the left.

The Deposit Return Scheme is quite possibly the most ridiculous scheme ever imposed on the good people of Ireland. It is a tax on your time, your dignity, your kitchen space and a clear and present danger to your health.

You will never guess from this chart alone the year in which Barcelona stopped issuing new Airbnb and tourist-use licenses.

This is why the Championship is unparalleled. Ayling doesn't play the ball. A blatant penalty, ref not interested.

No VAR. Just good, old fashioned, honest incompetence. As the game should be. Marvelous stuff.

@higginsdavidw @bookingcom I had a similar experience late last year - was never sure if it was the hotel of https://t.co/w0PJynd5Na systems which were compromised

Cool. A HSE for housing. That’ll fix it. Just like health care.

@levelsio For all intents & purposes it's just a bank account, and transferring funds to another Stripe user is now free & instant!

Please bro just one more regulation. I promise this one will fix it. We just need to set the right standards and protect European innovators. This one is different bro.

[Adam Thierer @AdamThierer]

truly one of the most amazing developments in trans-Atlantic tech policy over the past 20 years is the way that Europe set out to regulate US tech giants into the ground, but only made them more dominant as a result.

This Economist headline really says it.

@thisstuartlaws If he fell into a barrel of tits he'd come out sucking his thumb

[Mark Ronayne @mark_ronayne]

Expect to see similar results in Ireland as the new restrictions take effect. More regulation = less supply

[Sam Dumitriu @Sam_Dumitriu]

The results of the Renters Rights Act:

- mass evictions as landlords sell up
- huge fall in the number of properties available to rent (flat hunting is worse than ever)
- landlords/letting agents intensely vetting tenants
- mega-landlords taking over the market
- traditional student lets effectively banned

Good for renters with £50,000 in the bank ready to buy. Bad for just about everyone else.

The consequences were obvious to anyone who has studied economics and yet Ministers just didn’t listen.

And now we have politicians calling for full rent controls. It beggars belief.

مانشستر يونايتد هو أغرب فريق في العالم

أي فريق طبيعي بيفقد نقاط في المواجهات الكبيرة والقمم
لكن اليونايتد العكس.. عايز اقولك ان فارق النقاط بينه و بين ارسنال المتصدر 12 نقطة

اليونايتد خسر 17 نقطة ضد كل الأندية اللي بتصارع الهبوط .
تعادل مع وست هام في المباراتين
تعادل مرة و خسر مرة ضد ليدز
تعادل مع وولفز و توتنهام و نوتنجهام و بيرنلي!

ده غير تعادل مع بورنموث في المباراتين
وخسر من برينتفورد، و اتعادل مع فولهام وغيره

تخيل ان في مواجهاته الكبيرة خسر مرة بس ضد ارسنال و مرة ضد السيتي

اهدر نقاط في مباريات عجيبة حقيقي!

[Keith Redmond @ExCllrRedmond]

Spot the difference:

Irish media bias calls summit of far left leaders ‘centre left’ and summit of centre right leaders ‘far right’.

Language is important. The left has known this for decades.
