From what I understand, the US has plenty of water problems even in populated areas. And from experience, a lot of US roads suck, even in rich and dense area such as the Bay. So while I agree with the logic of your point, I think the core o

Yeah no. We have plenty of shrinking cities in France. The water system is still in perfect shape. My old grand mother city is one of them: streets are full of closed shops, but the infrastructures are in perfect shape. Roads are pristine.

My guess is more than the anomally will be detected and the hack will be blocked in 2 days. Compared to the free phone hack with the cereal whistle that everybody though was so cool...

I wonder what built this, becauqe clearly it's not new. China use to do it 2000 years ago too.

It's only a tiny, tiny part of science in a country. Ussr had nowhere close to the growth china as, even when recalibrating to the population size. The ussr economy was dying, with no innovation and no production outside of the war eff

And yet einstein went to the US and give them the bomb. During the cold war, little progress has been made engeenering that were not benefiting the wzr effort. Source: my last gf was born on the other side of the wall.

Indeed. But all corporations started as small companies with a soul. We are just blind to the transition.

30 years ago, on IRC, doing the same would have been considered a fun hack, and a tongue-in-cheek motivational project for beginners. Different generation I suppose.

It helps to be a dictatorship that can force anybody to do what they want, and send to camp people that don't. It also helps to have millions of cheap workers, and a gigantic, rich, soil. And it's easier if you not care about dest

Nope. Still skeptic. Not that I don't use the products. I use VSCode and Github. But I just know that MS current behavior is simply money oriented: it started exactly when they lost their top dog position in several important markets.

For me, meditation, intermitent fasting, wim hof, shrooms, and sport. But I had to find out that: - my testosteron was low, and that I was missing omega 3, d vitamin and magnesium. - my digestive system was in crisis. And fix that. Without

Generator expressions exist for that in python.

Plus advice alone is not enough. You need regular follow up. Good doctors are like coaches.

As a freelancer, I go from comoanies to companies. Most of the dev I worked with were not 10x. Not even average HN level. You gotta deal with reality at some point.

Yeah but in python you would just use a generator for that.

> The vast majority of people _do not_ want to change their lifestyle. Yes, but it's also very hard to do. I took me 30 years to actually have a nervous and hormonal system that was not fucked up. Before that, I tried for decades to

For the last 40 years, people talked about psilocybin, weight lifting, lsd, fasting, meditation, wim hof and many other things that affect people's happiness. We had 4 decades for doctors to get interested in them, study them, and make

No. In france we rarely see criminals with guns. It happens. But it's not a common event.

Yes, but that shoudln't prevent society to also make those particular use of tech very costly. It should be consider like holding a concealed weapon: you need a permit, or you get jail time. Permit should not be hard to get, as long as

Of course I did. I even tried to follow some things to the extreme. E.G: one letter advice to have "poverty days" so that you never get afraid of being poor. So I went to sleep in the street from time to time. But most of the cont

The problem with stoicism, is that it's providing you with a lot of concepts, and zero way to apply them. It's like saying "to win the race, run faster". Doh.

I don't find it "reasonable" to be filmed all the time while I'm at my desk. Things like that always end up being abused, not matter that "the ICO must be notified as to why they intend to use it". Plus it crea

And of course, your code base will end up riddled with those untested, undocumented customizations. People getting into it will hate you for it, and you will look at them with a smug face, stating how they don't get the power of a true

I'm amazed it's such a sensitive topic. Some people are litterally angry in the comments out people suggesting degrowth. Since we have math lovers here, I'll post a fantastic math oriented conf on the topic: http:/&#x2F
