Yessss!

Good to see this! Love Fairphone!

Cudos to you!If people realized how much power we had we's have a better world

"On a genetic map, a PCA plot, Romans and Romanians simply don't overlap"

Can you help me understand how do I look for Romans on a PCA map? For contemporary nations I think I can manage but for Romans I don't

As a european and person valuing my privacy I wanted to chose an European provider, so far not impressed with their customer service...

I hope each one of you signs this!

As a kid I used to do that with my family: Grow our own everything.

I'm currently trying to get back to it, until then I try to eat ecological and as much as I can cooked by myself. It is hard though, not everybody can aford a plot of land (ideally next to some decent sized town)

Upon reading: A bit unclear but yes it seems like unhealthy food + new microbe mutations + obesity

They talk about obesity as a separate cause than ultra processed food, I thought it was quite related, something I need to look into

My wild guess before reading the article: unhealthy food. A big part of which is herbicides and pesticides.

I will now read the article.

   "A substantial patch used to imply substantial effort, and that effort was a reasonable proxy for good faith. That assumption no longer holds."

I believe this is the key point the article makes and it's valid for most projects out there

Where there doubts about it? Are there doubts whether a for loop is conscious or not?

Markov chains are very useful and imo so are LLMs, the issue I believe stems from calling it "inteligence" which creates some expectation which is often not met

One perhaps unpopular opinion: Could it be that the current AI is beneficial for young people in the sense that it is making them stop looking at their phone for a bit, and realize that certain tech is not that important for human well beeing? The change is in their/our hands after all, we just need to become aware, believe and vote with our wallet and the whole society will change in the blink of an eye. The hard part is the awareness and believing.

I love US' nonchalance for anything regarding copyright (see AI pre-training)

Is Malta a corrupt country?

> "The Trump administration is making no real effort to crack down on whoever is trading using inside information, and these inside traders are operating with a complete sense of impunity, assured that they can get away with it."

I think this sums it up.

I've learned this by reading Influence by Robert Cialdini.The trick is find something to which they say yes. If they do it their brain kind of tells them: If I did him/her a favor it's because I like him/her.... and liking opens other doors

Is that the real location or a mere simulation of size? If it's the former I wonder why close to the water? I'd understand if it was a nuclear reactor...maybe for cooling purposes but only for storing the waste? I guess it's just a size simulation, although if it were reality maybe the though is: Oceans are big enough to dilute the whole thing in case it breaks...as a watersports and ocean fan that makes me sad

Is it just me or everybody finds the "charging extra" a bit vague? I don't deny it simply curious: how much?

I understand organizations as LaLiga wanting more money but massive IP blockage seems quite unfair, effective maybe but unfair so this news does not come as a surprise.

I have a Fairphone 5 which I'm very happy with. Replaceable battery and security updates for 8 years

I do not follow, could you expand please?

People need to understand the power they have through their wallets

While it seems obvious to many here that americans pay the tarrifs should we also conclude that given the drop in exports to the US (mentioned in the article), our european/german/indian economies are worse off i.e. we're losing money compared to how things were before. Does anybody have reliable figures on how much money are we losing?
