The business? It is fairly stable, as long as people keep horsing around.
I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

Of businesses such as napping and watching passers-by, yes.


If you’re unhappy and don’t know it, eat one more snack. Crunch crunch.


North and East of France also has beer, similar culture as the neighboring Belgium and Germany.


The problem is that the union is politically weak due to the absence of central executive power able to enforce decisions on country governments. So countries are going to keep looking for their own interest in negotiating their little exceptions or flying under Trump radar to avoid his tantrums.


This is also what China is doing and the only loser will be the USA.


This makes me think, there is some kind of “system creationism” philosophy in the far left that is not unlike the Christian one. Thinking that some all powerfull entity (or group) created/designed the situation by itself rather than thinking it is the result of extremely complex historical chain of events and balance between groups and environments. By extension it leads to thinking that somehow removing the powerful entity magically solves the problem.
I couldn’t find any reliable source, but the most convincing idea I read was to reduce contrast and glare issues between the white chalk and its background. The green would reflect more light than the black, reducing the contrast and the glare. Also, the original blackboards were made of black slate, but then they became synthetic which made it easier to change the color.


What’s the origin of the attacks against the police and firefighters? Poor suburbs’ youth angry at the system?
It passes interviews, it signes a contract and then it gets paid for it.
It’s just viral marketing by OpenAI, and it’s working well.


I’d like to mention learning to handle abstract concepts in particular. This is why “hard” science graduates can do good in software engineering, because it also relies on juggling with a shitload of abstractions. I know someone who’s really good at solving practical and communication problems in daily life, but they didn’t finish highschool, and as soon as the discussion becomes abstract, their brain just blanks.


If they caught some babies or other parasite in the meantime, you may have saved much more lives.


It would be ironic if what stops Russia’s invasion war in Europe is the risk of Chinese annexation of Eastern Russia.


I feel this can be bypassed the same way remote interviews have been passed, you have a talented dude A actually trained to pass whatever verification is needed, and whenever there’s privacy, it switches to dude B, while dude A moves to another recruitment process. I think I have heard about this kind of dude A offering his services online for anyone ready to pay.
Anyone else has never seen the face of one of their full remote colleague? I have one in my team, he does a good job though, however many they may be behind him.


Waiting for the milk


There are conventional definitions of the poverty line. In France, it is defined by the national institute of statistics as:
The poverty threshold is conventionally set at 60% of the population’s median standard of living. It corresponds to a disposable income of €1,288 per month for a single person and €2,705 for a couple with two children under 14 years old. https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/5759045
Some kind of abandoned terrain in between two houses/shops next to an old shopping arcade.
