Lost on pont neuf while biking in Paris….
Found the case neatly put next to a mailbox.
Earbud one about 15m / 50 ft away. Earbud 2 appeared in the seine river.. I guess some threw it in the river.

I love beancount and have used it for a small business and have used wave accounting (made by some friends in Canada). That said Quickbooks is our main system

They have been lots of studies (many alcohol industry sponsored) that said that moderate alcohol was not only harmless, but GOOD for you. I think getting the message out, that no, its never good for you is important to do to counter that previous narrative.
The WHO is saying its bad for you and that's fine. And as you've said, once people have the information they can choose the risk profiles that suit them.
I always thought that this effect was due not causal but to many people using alcohol socially.
One of the biggest killers is loneliness. Have a look at the Harvard life study.

I guess it's cultural.
Human consumption of alcoholic beverages goes back to thousands of years while tobacco has been used in Europe since the 15th century when it was brought back from America.
Wine is present in the Bible and used in Christian churches during mass. It is also used in Jewish celebrations and holidays.
Tobacco doesn't have the same history and cultural impact. From what I understand it is/was mainly "spiritually" used by American Natives for shamanic celebrations. (I can clearly be wrong on that)
Also second hand smoke
In france they often add sheets for 30 euros per bed.
Airbnb doesn't treat the hosts great either... They auto set new listings to auto approve...
If you enjoy writing scripts then something in devops might be best suited for you.
But to be clear, there is a lot more to know in devops than just Python, and you will not make money if you don't learn frameworks and libraries. This is because while it's possible, you won't get anything done in a timeframe that anyone will pay you for.
Learning Python and then not using frameworks is like saying "I like playing with glue, what can I make with JUST GLUE?"
If you are interested in either Linux, Security or telephony I would say do this.
While I don't disagree with the article, I don't fully agree with it either.
The article cites a study on (USA) GDP as a metric measuring of productivity, however, GDP is a poor proxy measure of "things being produced". USA GDP includes financial services and consumer spending, so using debt to pay for things vs. producing more, can still boost GDP.
In the United States, pre-Uber around 2010, it was very hard to find cabs in certain cities and even neighborhoods in those cities. New York City had no problems, but as I had lived in Chicago and San Francisco with lower population densities compared to top tier cities in the world -- the only way to get cabs even a few miles outside the main downtown area, was to call taxi dispatch, if you knew their number -- it was even hard to look it up online -- and schedule a pick up, which usually took 30min+. The US taxi system was stalled at the time, and Uber forced it to start adapting to the smart phone era. The tragedy is that the people investing in and also running uber had their own pyramid scheme instead of pricing out the business correctly. They also didn't consider the social/gov implications -- places with good taxi systems didn't need them, as you alluded to with the UK, but they shoved into it anyways.
So Uber was an innovation, one that is trying to find its financial balance still. I'd never care to schedule another taxi pick-up for next morning, 16hrs in advance when I want to go to the airport.
But the article saying that uber innovation and having others try it on other industries is stymying productivity isn't completely correct either.
++ taxi companies were corrupt due to the taxi medallion system.

I was also similarly disappointed with the quality of Supabase’s auth offering considering all the praise I consistently see for Supabase on HN.
