Did you never want something because it’s nice and inspiring? A sports car, a big Lego, a cap of your sport hero, a computer full of LED? Did you want this only to impress others? Have you had such a watch on your wrist and felt how it wore

I agree and I know how my ear perform. Degradation comes mostly from the top end above 10kHz, which is not critical for music. Composing and directing music are two very different activities. I'd expect the first one to work way better

You are just mentioning the ear, not the cumulated ear + brain (perception). While the physical hearing declines, the perception can gets sharper with time. Age makes hearing very high frequencies impossible but thankfully that’s not the ma

Yes your ear degrade but no that doesn’t mean everything is equal if you are used to listen to music. As a proof for that, many successful sound engineers have been over 50 and still mixed legendary recordings. Most people won’t hear good a

It’s especially targeting brands like Primark which are incredibly cheap and poor quality. Clothes costs a few euros and are intended to be worn only a few times.

I once went to a cloth repair shop and asked what brand was better for long term. “None”, they said, “all of them are equally bad nowadays“. So no chance much to make it work over the market it seems.

I know at least as many articles saying the opposite. I consume news from at least 4 countries, and I see some countries are more leaning toward one direction. I suggest you widen your news intake then.

Huh? I read almost everywhere about it. Never heard about the Panama Papers?

That’s a common error, reused by antivaxxers. They are indeed because even what we consider relatively high infection levels are just enough to get 15-20% of the population infected per year. This is less than the part of unvaccinated peopl

Good questions, I don’t know enough details. CO2 stays in the air for a long time, but not forever either. For sure though, it’s absorbed way too slowly than what we’re outputting now.

Exact, because the local residents drive to the local train station way more often than to the local airport. I think that’s a factor 10 difference approximately. Probably different figure for big airports hubs that serve mostly connections

The thing is that the chemical effects involved at the altitude airline planes fly is way more greenhouse impactful that the same consumption for a car, so you can’t compare that way. Also, trains are way better than this. French trains dri

Think about how you can make it happen directly around you, don't wait for "the company" to get it - be the agent that propagates it. If you spend the time and the energy to make it happen at least with your direct network, y

Indeed, in security this term works well because it means often “not explicitly related national agents acting for the state”. This loose coupling allows the responsible states to deny accusation while harming their target through unofficia

This is why I prefer standalone smart furniture and gadgets. All stuff that doesn’t need to be built in the house, but can be updated and swapped at need. Also, every time I ask myself really hard if I need this thing or just want it. What

Many people here seem to misunderstand the role of an architect. This is actually one of the most demanding in IT, and it usually has a tremendous impact on the team and on the business. A bad architecture will make engineers stressed for d

Or Switzerland or Belgium. I'd argue that, by now, there are more differences (cultural, economic, political...) between parts of the countries, like cities vs countryside, than between countries.

In most countries in Europe everyone gets 5-6 weeks a year plus public holidays and often flexible days off. You don’t have to “work hard“, just work. I spent my twenties learning skills and working well but not too much. Could have gone a
