The family still get 100% voting power. And the move is just a way to avoid taxe for the children while they still control the company. And it Seems that the charity (owned by the oligarch family), is still able to use fund to campaign, and corrupt (sorry influence) the elected officials
I wish I could badge this article so bad. That is a question I always wondered, and unlike you, never bother to research. The answer they find, and even just the list of mysteries are amazing. Thanks for the discovery, and for sharing
I checked this article first thing in the morning, now I feel dumber. Is there any science based research behind this claim, or is it just hippie mambo-jumbo?
"The plague" became a new best seller in France with the covid.. but with Camus you must read "the stranger".. if you're not hook, on the very first line, you can give up. But you'll be hook
I dont know if it is for you, but most people with anger found solace in applying CBT On the other hand, having parent prone to anger, I decided early on to remain calm in any situation. For some reason the only thing that can still trip me are internet forum. That is the reason, I dont comment much around here or anywhere
I like how anti-"fun" he is : and Seriously, it's a shame that mindfulness is more mainstream than CBT. I guess coming from antique Asia, is the recipe to success in the west. Cant wait when everyone start ingesting mercury like Qin Shi HuangCalifornia because they think of the weather and fail to take account of other things, such as the fact that California is full of tedious hippies.
In other words, last night’s party was never as good as you think it was.
the plan: protect the old and frail. Let the other catch the disease, so they can be immune sooner. They expect more death early, but argue that other country HAVE to reopen one day, then the disease will run its course , and they will end up having the same number of death overall; because Sweden will be immune by then.
saint etienne - Lavillier 'We're not from a country, but we are from a city".. As someone always doubtful about identity, the first verse make some sense. A song about the city I live in. My family legend pretend, that when I was a toddler in Africa, my father and this singer became friend... I suspect, they just bonded over the fact they came from the same small poor town, saint etienne, and found themselves as expat in a remote poor country. Just found this song, and it's pretty cool, with the mine-like rythm, to remind the city was once the richest coal mine of the country
around the world 'lalala' .. 2008 techno hit, covered by a former Spice girl and a German orchestra.. what else to wish for? lyrics about a pandemic!
It inspired me to write a poem: J'ai marché plus d'une fois vers un but précis. Loin de ce tome ultime et de ses facéties, Que cherchent les héros comme une autre Gorgone. Lisant chaque ligne dans ma quête infinie Plus impossible encore et plus simple à la fois, Puisque dans ce royaume, bâti autrefois, J’attends l'Amour qui absout de l'ignominie. Plongerait son regard; son regard qui délivre, Hébergerai mon âme dans sa palmeraie. Mais le hasard est cruel, et son couperet Sans fin, me laisse seul, isolé à poursuivre Ces lignes que tu lirais, toi que j'aimerais! ... According to google bot, this will roughly translate as : I have walked more than once towards a specific goal. Far from the Ultimate volume and its jokes, That heroes seek like another Gorgonian. Reading every line in my endless quest Even more impossible and simpler at the same time, Because in this kingdom, built in the past, I await the Love which absolves from ignominy. Diving her gaze; her gaze that delivers, Who will host my soul in her palm grove. But Chance is cruel, and its cleaver Endlessly, leaves me alone, isolated to pursue These lines that you would read, you that I would love! Dans la bibliothèque aux étroits hexagones, Espérant celle qui dans le semblable livre In the Library with narrow hexagons, Hoping for the girl, in the similar book
I agree, the article doesn't feel genuine. But the point it make is relevant: thinking for 10k years, is a good excuse for rich people to not give a fuck about today. The Long Now released a (pretty lame) podcast a few hours ago: http://podcast.longnow.org/salt/salt-020200115-venkataraman-podcast.mp3 Where they totally acknowledge that their 10k year view, is just a rich man problem (and they even address how they can "incite" the poors to think on the same timescale... yeah it's mostly a bad podcast) About the clock??? Yeah the guy building it should have stay on his cancer research job, for the long term good of humanity. But I guess cancer research bring less immediate fame than a cool unique clock

Are you saying I just need 40 windmills to blind inhabitants of every close planet around? So now: How many windmill do I need to exterminate them? Asking for a friend After all, its a rational thing to do while I still have windmills and before they come with unknown intentions
Fact: You don’t give a suicidal person morbid ideas by talking about suicide. The opposite is true—bringing up the subject of suicide and discussing it openly is one of the most helpful things you can do. Source: SAVE – Suicide Awareness Voices of Education This is the most counter intuitive stuff I read about suicide prevention. So I wanted to share You HAVE to use the word "suicide" .. "are you thinking about suicide?".. instead of belittling their pain with "you dont think about doing something silly?"Myth: Talking about suicide may give someone the idea.
Do piano - Again I love the concept of a poem with the rime in the first syllable
Albatros -gran Premio I rarely like male singer, I dont like song where I dont understand the lyrics, I dont speak one italian word, I dont like Italian to begin with, I dont like sport, especially car sport. I'm obsessed with this Italian song about some car race
Lucky you. My best friend introduced me to Dune way back they. Herbert became instantly my fist favorite author, and In a few year span I read everything by him. At least 2 times. From the Destination Void universe (very good), to the short-story collection, to my least favorite (because not Sci-fi) : the Soul Catcher. If I owe someone to not totally suck in English, I owe it to Herbert. Because back then not all his book were translated in french, and I could only read them in English (and don't understand them) My favorite is the Messiah of Dune (I loved the bad guys plan). But people consider that the god-Emperor is the better in the serie.. but how can you identify with a giant worm?
another dumb article about a problem everyone know exist, and without any hint, on how to solve it edit: was meant to be commented inside the original post
I'm a sucker for post-apo movie. And above Mad Max Furry road (really good) , or the older Mad Max (the second mostly), and the recent Snowpiercer... I still find Waterworld endearing. F.Herbert influence on the worl building, and some nice visual sell it for me
you're already paying b telling google where you are, or where you shop. That's how they make the maps good. That's how they make the search engine good: by processing what link people used after a search. It's a nice business model : make the user work for you. The captcha to create an account on hubski is a way to train the google image recognition software. But all of that is mere value extracting compared to amazon, who sell anything anywhere anytime to anybody
what I like about your statement is that it is completly right , but also fail completly to be convincing. It's like saying: You want to be rich? Get more money than you spend + luck. We're right, But I doubt we helped anyone getting rich or fit.
I dunno about cleansing (sound like some new-age BS, or some weird enema fetishism) But intermittent fasting was proven to work.. on rats: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2256272/Eat-want--9-5-New-hour-diet-promises-weight-loss-10lbs-just-week.html Given the same amount of calories, rats that had a 16h fasting between meal, lost weight, not the 3 meal rats. good luck
Don't hate the hater. It will only make you spiteful and angry at the world. A lesson I take a long time to learn was that, whatever the views people feel strongly about (politics, racism, religion, sexual behavior, ..) does not mean they cannot be intelligent, caring and nice people otherwise. Don't listen when they talk about their hate. Don't argue with them, You wont change them. Try to get them to talk about something else. May be you like the same music, fiction book, sport team, food, etc.. If you debate them, or even just resent them, you'll be miserable. You deserve better.
As far as I disagree with his blog post about the necessity of ads on the net, I still cant stand the Ad Hominem against Eich. Even if the guy is homophobic, or pedophile, or racist or a terrorist, what the rapport with him building a new shitty browser? Will the browser be homophobic? Now. On Eich himself. The guy was obviously framed. He gave 1000$ (pocket money for a CEO) , X years ago against Same Sex Marriage. In France, one of the most liked talk-show host (Laurent Ruquier) , a homosexual who did more for the gay acceptance than a lot of people, was publicly against Same Sex Marriage. Every gay in contact with Eich at Mozilla denied he showed any sign of homophobia. Anyway.. It's so trending to shut off people by accusing them of being Homophobic, or racist, or pedophile, that my default reaction to those accusation is doubt and immediately being on a look-up for a conspiracy. I mean, Trump is an arrogant idiot, the fact that he is, or is not racist, will not change that.
Ousanousava - Zamal The name band "Ousanousava" means "wheredowego". The title "zamal" is the local name for weed. That sega-maloya type of music that come from Indian Ocean Island, mostly Reunion and Mauritius islands. That's a musical genre for total of 500k-1M inhabitants max... The lyrics are in creole, close to french. la montagn lé vèrt koulèr out ti zié / The mountain is green color of your eyes mwin mwin lé sou kouvèrt i fé bon kréché/ I'm under the trees, where it's good to sleep i fok mi lèv po alé travayé/ I must wake up to go to work sa i kas mon rèv i fos mon léfé/ That break my dream, shatter my trip alor kom sa po prolonge mon somèy/ So to keep my sleep mwin la trouv in ralonge i ranplas lo solèy/ I find a crutch to replace the sun wi solèy laktialité/ Yes, the sun has a quality sa la pa travay bondié/ It does not work, God!

I'd like to stress how bad the media are in France right now, and how they are milking (and doing more harm than good) the fear-mongering and inventing a story about Islam Vs Racist at any opportunity. Since this morning we had one news on repeat: A teacher (for pre-schooler) was attacked by a man with a knife who said he was striking for Daesh. The info sound ridiculous, but that was the "last terrorist" attack: Now school were the target. Tonight, the stinger: The victim invented the all story. https://translate.google.com.au/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.leparisien.fr%2Fseine-saint-denis-93%2Faubervilliers-un-enseignant-attaque-au-cutter-un-suspect-en-fuite-14-12-2015-5370561.php&edit-text=&act=url Btw the politics showed a level of Dumbassery : The minister of education immediatly after the 'attack' went to reassure people that schools would be under surveillance. The fact that, at the highest level of state, no one could give the advice to, at least, wait a little just to understand what it really was about.. I just cant.
Jesus washed feet of sinner far greater than some gays having a cake. Cook the cake, and don't be afraid to be sued by human's laws. Be afraid by how your heart will be weighted.
Cat's lover don't love them because they are dependent. They love them specifically because they just tolerate you. And any signs of affection is a blessing. While a dog will still love you even if you're the worst asshole in the galaxy. Dogs are in an abusive relationship.. Their unconditional love always made me uncomfortable.
Imagine now that every bit of your data was keeped (encrypted) on YOUR device (not on google/facebook servers for anyone to grab) . That, would be really nice. Yeah that's sci-fi.
There is no tips in here. You had a real tip post once. That's where I learned to use "ZEN" on Hubski.. Every introvert, self conscious, sensible to rejection should try Zen mode.
