Or some other significant event in the eye of this civilization.

Actually, in the light of this, I wonder if the whole piece is not satire now.

Yes, if only for the legal status of property/inheritance: if you are to be revided, who owns your wealth? Do you children inherit? And/when you are revived, what resources do you have? Is your family/descendants in charge of

What about whistling, singing or performing music live? Where is the line? I mean, are the people enacting such policies even real person living a real life?

The resources, time and hardware implicated in the production of open source software, when all added up represent far more than US$99, in terms of value. You may say that a FLOSS project has no bank account, but it does not have $0 budget

Wondering (as for myself too), what is the goal behind consuming/assimilating? Is it an end in itself, for oneself? Is it a way to have more/more elaborate exchanges, conversations, relationships with other people? Other people wh

Well, we're not French for nothing. :p

Well, if they are going straight into politics, they likely don't know fundamentals in business either (you don't learn those in schools).

Take business creation & administration. The climate now in France for that is incommensurably better now than it was 20 years ago. The paperwork, the administrative va-et-vient, the relations with the state, insurances, banks, profesio

> The chauvinism is strong in this one. I'm in France, because I like things here. But startup culture isn't one of them. I think this depends a lot on where you are, and who you connect to, and whose judgement you value too. T

It is and it is not. The secretary of state did say that. And meant it. But so far, it feels like he is a bit alone, with a few old industrial/regulatory interests behind him, but it's not clear whether it will plainly fall flat a

On the other hand, technology has always shaped music: each instrument's specific technology shaped what could be done, or not done, with it. And how disks, then tapes, then disks again, before Internet, all shaped how music was "

Hopefully, we'll soon have the means to ask an AI-based Bach model what it thinks of 50 cent!

Huh? Someone's saying "that's depressing" is a statement. It's not "I find this depressing" or "I'm depressed by that". It's not disrespect, it's bringing a different perspective t

by Juliate 6y ago
That's not depressing. That's one part of the "music industry". It's a huge sales channel, per se. Now, being a musician or an artist, you decide what you do with it. If you consider that what matters is your sales

Plus the implication that music might not be a tool for a specific purpose (which it is also absolutely in some contexts). The thing is that "music", is not "one thing". It all depends on the purpose, if there is one, an

Wait, because there are people who make their children "do" music "to make them smart", and not for music itself (and all it encompasses)?

The goal is not for it to stand in court. It's only to act as a canary, kind of a checksum (and I suspect it's not the only one, only the most obvious/curious). When the band arrives into the venue, they check for canaries: i

That's looking at it only from an adversarial lens. There are other lenses.

Well, there's at least one obvious motive: getting the EU a little more busy with itself so it may not have enough energy for other matters. The mess it plunges the EU, having to deal with this one huge internal issue, rather than havi

Well, some are obviously more successful than others at influencing elections and politics... The USA are leaving their leadership position, if only thanks to the current administration, shaking things in disarray. Their structural weakness

Speaking of biases, English-speaking twitter is a powervul vector bringing US biases (whatever they are) through the world. I have to regularly stop and check that "ha, yes, that's a very USA-centric take on things and does not re

I hear you. However, there's also a class of users that _do not look at the keyboard_ (if only, for very specific complex actions which only require lookup and execution, not reflexion). For this class of people at least, the _visual_

Computers & computer science are also a quite very young field in regard with others (law, medicine, religion, etc.): not even a century old when the others have been around for several centuries, at least. Likewise, you might also be c

It's an issue to me, probably my French background. :) The USA didn't look so... indeed, uneven or fractured, before Trump's appearance in politics. I guess I should have travelled across there several years ago. I sincerely

In a democracy, rules to elect an executive power (where you need one decisive direction within a framework) are obviously not the same as those to elect the controlling powers of this executive power -- among which parliaments, where you n

It may also translate into: representatives grouping into parties. Which parties get the more votes globally, get to have proportionally as many seats, which they distribute to the elected members of the group.
