Considering that US almost banned cheese due to their unpasterized milk ban, I am even surprised that they complain

But why?

Are some resources under ice worth destroying NATO and risking a nuclear war?

The problem is that, it’s bringing war in our own soil from day-1. Sure it’s easy to launch a few missile at an US base a few minutes before having infantry taking them over, but during that time your fighting on your own soil.

Isn’t the legal classification is complex some diplomatic version of you fucked up, but we’re ready to believe your lawyer?

Adding an acceptability benchmark to it, feel like preety critical considering the strong tie between US and Germany.

This is why you get a huge C-suite salary, so stop complaining and do your job. Fund R&D and faetorics and make sure we keep having competitive drug to beat US and China.

I am pissed off by these companies requesting government bailoat when things go wrong but giving huge dividends as investor took risk and CEO get talents when things go right

I get your point about full time school which may require 2-3 years without income (even though in some countries you may keep your unemployment rights). But often, especially for shorter degrees, there is options in evening classes, whith less hours (sometimes at the price of a longer time) some would even give you real degree. Moreover, if unemployed, sometimes a 6 month training can give you the basis to be hired, either in a manual job, or to fix a missing skill on your CV

There’s a stereotype of Chinese brands being “low quality” which obviously isn’t always true to begin with,

This was still debatable 10-15 years ago, but today? Huawei or Redmi do phone which compete in the same league as Samsung, BYD is leading the electric car market. (I even have a made in China Eastman guitar, for the price of the Taylor everybody has, I got a way better guitar, and that Taylor is damn great)

Sure, there is still tons of cheap, low quality stuff on Ali Baba,it’s great for hobby crafting but China has moved toward high quality products.

To answer your question, I expect to see a Chinese company entering the global Ram, FPGA and GPU market. Especially considering the US embargo forbidding Nvidia and Intel to export their high end products in China. Looks like a quick way to push China to grow their domestic production

There is relatively big ones including political organization who cover ads, or sue all ads not matching environmental laws, and a whole ad-free social media trend like for example Lemmy

We need to do get a buy European act, it’s not normal to see a government service like customs buying device from Nuchtech rather than local competitor. I want my tax to finance my job, not some foreign companies

What’s your target audience ? An what’s the goal ?

There is a difference between Giving a programming training to scientist/engineer who may need more than just Excel for data-processing/visualisation, and giving a discovery what programming looks-like for a general public, or people who want to do their own website.

For general public, the good-old “Logo” that kids learned programming with in the 70-90’s is still great

for scientists engineer, I would go for python which is the de-facto standard for data visualisation/processing when performance doesn’t matter

For a more foundation course, I think the everything is object approach in java can be pretty great

Translation is expensive, it needs to not only to translate the story but the author’s style and pun. A niche book won’t be translated, especially in smaller languages (you have a bigger market when you translate in Spanish/French/German than when you translate in Luxemburgish or Nepalese). With that regard, english-language writer have the advantage of using a language that many can read, giving publishing company a glimpse of the translation potential.

With the power of “LLM” and translation app like deepl, it may work better in the future. However, at the moment, deepl is far from giving a professional grade results, especially when you have ambiguous word or a “specific but uncommon context”. It work to share a blog-post/news article, but won’t be sufficient to get fun to read book or an usable technical manual (However, corporate legal department may have a different opinion, it will be an interesting trial the day an accident occur due to an ambiguity in an automated translation)

This is why free university and social sciences are important too. It’s great to have electric car and supra conducting magnet, but we also need people to think about classism, history, sexism and all the rest

Fashion tells you to change clothe often, and there is a lot of peer pressure to follow it, especially if you have a female gender expression.

This even impact more poorer people who can’t afford quality and don’t have much other way to impress

I’d love to see that in corporate criminal law. You fuck-up as an individual, you go to jail, you fuck-up as a company, you’re closed for some times.

Looks like easier said than done especially over a dense population area.

But your right these drone flight start to be a real issue and don’t look like a hobbyist with a Parrot/Dji toy

Saving this for next time the ignorant people in my life insist that buying clothes on Shein is not bad.

Unfortunately, in the way western society work, I am not going to blame minimal wage worker buying “cool clothe” for their kids on Shein. It’s expected that kids wear cool clothes at school, and it’s expected that parents don’t wear a old sweater in public.

May be, the day scientists with an old sweater become a role model for kids fashion will change, but unfortunately, there is a need to “dress to impress”.

To get rid of fast fashion we need a whole societal change, I hope we’ll have it one day, but I won’t blame the people who suffer from it.

Not even rich politicians, the proposed threshold in first proposal was 200 millions of net worth, where you would pay less than 2% of your net worth in tax thanks to multiple loopholes.

Definitely richer than average politicians

That proposal is already pretty watered down, especially in the latest proposition. I don’t care that your net worth is made of company stock and not in cash. We, commoners, pay way more than 2% of our net worth in tax, why such a low tax rate is not acceptable for the super rich?

Horror RPG taught me about how important it is to take the time to play normality, let the player connect with their character, have fun and light roleplay moment, until that moment when horror steps in.

Player dealing with monsters and having blood up to their knee ends up being epic high fantasy but not horror.

On a more norme activity the movie the descent is a great exemple the first half slowly drift from stressful to frightening, then the second half is girl fighting Gollum in the mud, and turn from frightening to comical

There is topic where I can totally understand why someone would remove them if they fear someone knows their username, and there is also tons of people semi-trolling with more or less real stories. But it’s part of the life of a semi anonymous platform
