Let‘s gooo!

Yeah, onion soup is up there, too. Fish soup as well imo. There’s just too much good stuff 😅 good for your GF, I bet she’s in for some (expensive) treats 😁

Not OP, still huge fan of French cuisine. I’d choose Coq au Vin. It’s straightforward to do at home, all you need is a pot and a cooking plate. Combines red wine, mediterranean herbs and a good amount of butter with vegetables and chicken for an incredible dish. French people value fresh, beautiful ingredients and are willing to pay top money for A-class quality. That’s another secret to their cooking.

Then there’s of course more dishes that you can’t easily do at home:

• try a hand-made Croissant fresh out of the oven in the morning.
• Cheeses - there’s hundreds of them, eat them alone or with some Baguette and grapes.
• Galettes are thin wholegrain pancakes. They come with salty toppings, but also sweet varieties - salted caramel is a classic.
• Fresh oysters with a squeeze of lemon.
• Nothing compares to a good, aged French red wine. But also fresh white wines and roses are fine - locals buy them in 5 liter boxes in the supermarket, you put them in the fridge and are settled for a week. Just be mindful that they need to be fresh (last year’s harvest typically).
• Sparkling wines are amazing, too. It’s fine to settle for Cremant, it’s the same stuff as Champagne, but cheaper.
• I could write another list twice as long about seafood.

Best thing to do is visit France and experience it. No need to waste time and money in overcrowded Paris, foodies will be very happy in Bordeaux, Marseille, Rouen and affordable Provence area. You get amazing lunch deals (“plat du jour”, dish of the day) that typically include starter, main and dessert for around EUR15 in many places.

So based 🙏

I‘ve said it before and I‘ll say it again: Gates is not a saint, but there is clearly a difference between him and fucks like Thiel, Sacks or the Koch family who would never consider donating any of their money to research ways to eradicate Malaria or fund education programs for women.

Not the full picture: He plans to donate the majority of his wealth to his foundation, and then wind it down in 20 years. source

I want those fuckers powering little submarines that fight cancer cells right now - but realistically speaking, these microcontrollers would need to be at least one order two order of magnitude smaller for that, no?

Ya interesting, your theory of mind checks out for me. I’m not “rich” as in “I have significant capital”, but I’m certainly more “rich” than “poor”. So yes, I don’t notice it when I pay ~30EUR per month for a newspaper.

Are there any independent newspapers in your country? I Germany, there’s taz, a daily newspaper that is owned by a cooperative. They certainly don’t give a shit about the rich & powerful’s opinion - for example, they publicly pissed off the editor-in-chief of Germany’s biggest and most-powerful news corporation, Springer, just for the sake of free speech. Would you be willing to give money to that kind of newspaper?

I see your opinion, I’m curious to hear how you think about the media’s role in society. Journalists work at newspapers and they need to pay rent. A stance “paywalls are paid for by the rich and the stupid” kinda means that one doesn’t want to pay journalists.

I am genuinely curious about your perspective on this. Would you prefer a world without newspapers? Or is it more of a question of money? When I was younger, I didn’t have the money to pay for newspapers. Nowadays, I’m happy to pay for newspapers that interest me.

The submission has been clearly penalized by hn moderators: Posted 3h ago, upvoted >600 times with almost 500 comments, ranking 23rd on the front page. Ranking first currently is a submission with 80 upvotes, posted 1h ago.

Highly misleading headline and article. The headline claims that all of GCP went down for 12h. The article claims that „an office in Frankfurt“ was unavailable. Both claims are wrong.

In reality, some services in the europe-west3-c zone experienced a 12h outage source.

That‘s cool and I respect that, more power to you!

I see you, hang in there buddy!

Yo this comment section is a dumpster fire 🔥

edit: Remember Russian propaganda’s goal is to sabotage free discussion and conversation. They achieve this by e.g. shitting in a comment section. That might explain what’s going on here. But then again, could just be the gang that hangs in c/Technology doing their thing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

At the all-hands meeting, Garman said he’s been speaking with employees and “nine out of 10 people are actually quite excited by this change.”

Just imagine the conversation between the CEO of AWS and some random employee.

„What do you think about the return-to-office policy I propose, Cog #18574?“ „Great idea Mr. Garman sir, really smart move from your team. Incredible thinking and leadership from you Mr. Garman.“

continues to tell people that 9/10 employees he talks to are excited to return to office.

Carnegie chose to do good things with his money, as did Gates and Boros. Now, it’s easy to criticize all three of them for an arbitrary number of bad things they are responsible for. Which is entirely beside the point:

There is obviously a scale of good and bad things oligarchs decide to do with their money. Musk, Thiel, Sachs and the likes are on the “huge asshole” end of that scale. And other oligarchs are not. Assuming Gates was as bad as Musk because somereason fails to see this and ultimately leads to letting the true assholes off the hook.

They’re clearly not all on the same team. Some are decent human beings that choose to use their money for the betterment of humankind.

It’s just that a couple, e.g. Musk, Thiel, David Sachs and others, decided to be huge assholes. They would end democracy any day to become richer and more powerful.

While I agree with most points you make, I cannot see a machine that is, at a bare minimum, able to translate between arbitrary languages become irrelevant anytime in the foreseeable future.

Sad how this comment gets downvoted, despite making a reasonable argument.

This comment section appears deeply partisan: If you say something along the lines of “Boo Google, AI is bad”, you get upvotes. And if you do not, you find yourself in the other camp. Which gets downvoted.

The actual quality of the comment, like this one, which states a clever observation, doesn’t seem to matter.
