You are my hero. Thanks.

Not saying this is it, but I never managed to block YouTube shorts with brave adblocker (in mobile), where I can do it with ublock. If you can do it, please explain, I promise I wi…

I think you have to be more explicit because I don't understand fully what you mean. Which fire department? Are you talking about doge? In your allegory, it more like: a firebomb c…

Because it is? Migrant workers get sent away when sick or hurt, they don't benefit from healthcare. They don't get treatment, and have to come back to their country. It's the same …

I don't know how it works in your country, but in mine, each time a public monopoly is given to the market, corruption creeps in, costs increases, and suddenly you have to pay twic…

Counterpoint: explain to me how to make two different versions of an app cohabit. I found out about homebrew, so it isn't as much as an issue as it used to be, but in the 2000s, it…

You can't do that, because the Walton family and others are really, really good at avoiding getting taxed. Even small business owners like my uncles do whatever they can to avoid a…

Singapore numbers ignore their underclass, which is significant. But you're right, if you're a westerner, Singapore's great.

Which military objective did the US accomplish in their "win"? Did they won on the battlefield? Do you consider the Korea war a win for the US military too? And if not, what is the…

I created an account more than two years ago, and never connected to it since. EU rgpd is very clear about data retention delays. I won't report it, but to be clear I am very cross…

Wasn't GAO the leading us org in that big simplification/trim of the Clinton admin? I know for budget hawks of my country (my uncles and whoever informed them for full transparency…

Gp said that the way heat deaths were reported in Europe (statistical analysis: additional mortality during heatwaves) and in the US (individual analysis: autopsy) makes the two in…

It wasn't a win for the US military. They spent 20 years in south Vietnam, trying to keep it independent, and ultimately failed. Their stated goal was south Vietnam independence an…

No, not really, it's two orders of magnitude smaller overall. Drugs, gold (from illegal mines in the Amazon) and weapons (from US lost military stock/police seizure mostly) drive c…

Bac Ho took back the country he liberated from the french, renamed the capital city, instituted a communist regime that held its own against china.

US health insurance margins are thinner than European private insurance. Their administrative cost however are 9-10%, when in Europe (or really, France and Germany, I haven't looke…

Yes. Oil peak production in North Africa is early 2010, peak gas in the north sea is 2004, peak oil 2008. The US recovery started as they started to exploit non-conventional gas, t…

The two last hire we got a year ago still don't have any ownership of anything. Even the project they coded 'themselve' where we involved them in the design and let them cook almos…

It works very well in rich countries, but it is expensive, especially if the volume of exchanged currency is low. This is one of the reason behind the Euro, countries realised it w…

Chinese cars built in Europe are not taxed/sanctioned. I think the base golf is around 30k. (Renault, fiat and Citroen are better priced than German cars if you don't mind staying …

I was thinking about Opus 4.5 when i talked about 10 month ago, but maybe i'm confusing the date, it might have been 9 month. Opus 4.5 vs Fable 5? i think the output difference wil…

What caused the second recession in Europe was a decrease in energy supply. Country that depended the most on the North sea or North Africa oil and gas exports suffered the most. W…
