FNAC/Darty/Boulanger still sell it for 969. Maybe I should pull the trigger soon.

The 17 is 969 euros. The 18 Pro is 1479 euros. How can I justify the difference? I'm on 13 now and I wanted to get an 18 but since there is no such thing I will probably end up with the 17.

I do. But sometimes I just start on the Chrome bar.

The most upsetting change for me was the missing link to Google Maps when searching directly from Google (the victim of an earlier decision from EU). So I asked a chatbot to make me a browser extension that adds it back to the top bar of th

Yes they tried to increase it a few years ago and failed. Farmers came with tractors to Paris..

It's interesting that diesel is taxed more than gas in the US. It's the other way around in France.

I said nothing about the drought. My comment was on timing, which affects the optics of those who read it. Imagine going on vacation for 2 months, as they do, then coming back and reading this article while seeing heavy rain outside. With a

Yeah they still have restrictions in my area but I don't know how to find out the real situation. I am close to the Seine and I've seen it quite high the other day, but that's probably not a good indication of the general sta

The timing of this article is a bit unfortunate. It's been raining here (France) every day for the past week, sometimes heavily.

Still it was an interesting read. I didn't know many of those things.

One could test this manually with a whip, right? Attach the ball at the end and try to crack it.

The point of all these articles is that if you exercise hard you get extra health benefits. Even folks that move all the time and clock 15k steps per day may not get those benefits because it's not the right exercise.

That's insightful. AI is teaching us things about our own intelligence by simply evolving under our eyes.

Well the blocklist description is "men up their own assholes acting like white boys", so what should I conclude? Then again if racists block me it's probably for the best.

Same here. Battery health is 84% which is not disastrous. But charging is a chore. The charging port doesn't work half the time (a problem in the car especially). I would also like it to be lighter, which I probably won't get.

Blocking is way too harsh a mechanism. If they wanted to innovate they should have invented some soft-block feature. Thanks to those lists I am blocked by 165 people. I don't insult anyone, I don't even swear. I suspect I get on t

In terms of politics, yes. It's a bit like the worst of reddit. Nobody reads the article, everybody gets outraged in the same cliché way. If you try to provide nuance you get derided or blocked. (Blocking seems to be held in high estee

Yes of course. My comment was facetious.

Are Sol and Fable lucrative? I suspect they also are valuable (to clients) but not lucrative (yet).

Just because it is (was) close to all-time high doesn't mean it's high. Look at the P/E[1]. The market does not think it will grow long-term. [1] And yes I know it's artificially lowered due to the mark-to-market gains i

I think most professionals are conservative when it comes to their tools. Mastering them took a long time and it's hard to change.

Those are retail prices. I expect data center prices to be a tenth or even a hundredth of that. And probably quite different even in the same region.

Ignoring the bread analogy, isn't decoupling a likely outcome? I make and deploy my own SaaS and pay somebody to be on-call for ongoing maintenance. This would argue for more standard interfaces and modules so that maintenance is cheap
