You don’t sound very mature.

aucisson_masque · 7 hours ago

I don't get your reasoning. It's in fact very mature, everyone got their job to do and you don't mess with someone else job.

If you have to make spreadsheet on a windows computer, it's not up to you to check why excel won't open. You're not trained to do IT. You might do more harm than good.

That's how it works in mature work environment.

Russia has been involved in covert sabotage operations in Europe for more than a decade [1][2]. You can learn more about this from investigative journalist Christo Grozev [3].

What are the chances that the high-speed rail crash that occurred in Spain a few weeks ago was also caused by them? [4]

France had the same kind of sabotages during the JO. It was later confirmed to have been sponsored by Russia.

Local LibreOffice forks. And MS Office, of course.

MS office is pretty secure and private once you put a "Great Firewall" that blocks most outgoing/incoming connections.

The speech is great and all but cmon, don't tell me that Microsoft is "delivering outsized success".

Have you seen the recent windows update bugs, the enshitification of office, recall, bing, etc..

I don't know who else to blame but Nadella for all of that.

Seems more like the guy would be a great politician, great speech to inspire fresh employee, but delivers nothing in reality.

> L’agriculture européenne, en revanche, risque d’être pénalisée. Selon les dernières estimations effectuées en décembre 2020 par la London School of Economics pour le compte de l’Union européenne, l’accord pourrait faire baisser jusqu’à 1,2 % sa production de viande de bœuf et de mouton, et 1 % celle de sucre.

Déjà je met en doute les 1,2%. C'est une estimation... Mais surtout, c'est pas sur la baisse de production immédiate que ça va se jouer mais sur les prix. 1kg de boeuf vendu pour 70% du prix d'un kg français, ça va pousser les prix vers le bas.

Avec 30 fermes en moins chaque jours, ça va accélérer fortement la perte de production agricole et donc notre souveraineté.

Je suis content de voir que ton lien confirme mon propos.

One thing I always found a bit of a puzzle: it's widely understood, and scientifically backed up afaik, that strength training is healthy and good for longevity. Yet, if you look at people whose everyday jobs look a lot like functional strength training, eg construction workers, my general impression is that their bodies (age 50+) are in worse condition than the average population (who's not in great shape already), and far worse than people with sedentary jobs who do fitness training.

I get that there can be too much of a good thing etc, but I still find it curious. If it's generally said to be good for you, shouldn't the effects be a bit more robust than that?

Substance abuse and rest.

If you lift weights Monday and Friday, you give your body time to recover and get stronger.

People whose job is to lift weight, they don't lift things heavy enough and they don't give their body time to recover. They work everyday, whatever if their quads are hurting or not. It has very little benefits and only destroy the joints.

> The eu - just recently, sold out its agricultural sector

1. The EU-Mercusor deal does not impact European ag in any shape or form, and much of the nativist ag discourse in the EU has been disinfo driven for years [0].

2. I clearly pointed out how the EU now has a China sized market that is paying China level prices for luxury vehicles while purchasing at Chinese luxury volumes without Chinese competition.

> Everything is on the table and everything has to go

Then go right ahead. All the barriers I pointed out are being implemented despite Trump's actions in Greenland. If the US and China are resorting to wolf warrior diplomacy, there's no point seriously engaging with either.

Either China respects the EU's positions or the EU can work with other middle powers to build both an ExChina and an ExAmerica ecosystem.

Interesting how this is yet another brand new HN account pushing this kind of narrative. 3rd time in two weeks [0] after pointing out the EU doesn't have to negotiate with China as a junior partner.

Your link proves nothing and isn't even about the Mercosur. It's about Russia exploiting farmers unrests. It has no explanation or anything really about the impact of Mercosur on European agricultural sector.

I'm convinced that importing cheaper food from south America where they don't even have a minimum hourly wage not have to follow the European regulations will kill the sovereign European agricultural sector.

It's pretty obvious, media is called the 4th power.

Control the media, you control the information that a significant part of Europeans get. Elections aren't won by 50%, you only need to convince 4 or 5% of the population that the far right is great.

Honest question: What does it mean to "raid" the offices of a tech company? It's not like they have file cabinets with paper records. Are they just seizing employee workstations?

Seems like you'd want to subpoena source code or gmail history or something like that. Not much interesting in an office these days.

Yes.

USA was already extremely, laughably, backward on renewable energy.

At least with Trump, there is no more pretending. It's gas, gas, gas and pollution.
