We do have nukes you know. Feel free to pack up, go home and never come back. Would be the best thing to ever happen to Europe. Honestly Europe would be far more peaceful now without NATO. The US has mostly been a destabilising force for th

I'm French and I'm missing the Nord Stream pipelines. We need all the supply lanes we can get even if our neighbours are untrustworthy. Now we have to rely on the US and there is nothing worse than relying on the US. Europe just s

While I don't agree with any of the trash she peddles, I fail to see how any of it justifies banning her let alone her parents from an accomodation booking platform.

30 mins a day is fine. You have to use split training instead of doing a full session with a rest day in between. That’s less beginner friendly but that’s not a big issue.

Yeah, yeah, I know the drill lower fees, faster price discovery, better liquidity. You will have a hard time convincing me any of these benefits are worth tolerating the damage speculations wreak like clockwork every ten years or so but I k

It’s just parasitism on top of the legitimate activities of the market (capital allocation). People who benefit from it (market administrators, traders) like to pretend it increases the liquidity of the market and that it’s a good thing. Ho

I think you should read Pynchon if you haven’t already. The spirit is somewhat the same and Gravity Rainbow deals with a weapon development.

I have not experienced that as strongly but unless they are lucky I think most people will have gone through hardship at some point in their life. Some years ago I found myself working at a job I felt trapped in, under an abusive boss feeli

I used to feel the same but I now had to teach two otherwise intelligent juniors that work communication is formal and sentences do start with a capital. So apparently it got lost at some point.

Yes, feeling offended about being called young is part of the package too. We know, we used to be.

Or as I like to put it Gattaca put the spotlight on research which had been treading the line of ethics for a decade with a dangerous lack of supervision and helped convince people that putting the brakes on it was welcome. That’s fiction p

Having had to use it to connect authentication to LDAP via sssd, I’m not sure I would describe it as nicely as you do. To put it bluntly, my personal opinion is that it is a massive piece of shit. It makes even simple things feel complicate

I see your landlord is worried about your health too. Mine is very thoughtful. In addition to poorly jointed windows so the air stay fresh, they are single panned so it doesn’t get too hot at night and we can get optimal sleep.

I don’t know where you live but the OP talks about London which has the same issue than here in Paris and is probably better than most large city in South East Asia. You can drop your pastoral dream of dust and pollen. The pollution is most

Having trust in the market is not a magic solution. Yes, prices will rise as they already are if there is a shortage but that's not going to make local production materialises out of thin air if there are other obstacles. At some point
