We’ll settle for Erasmus and everybody will take it for a win. Meanwhile the ex will be jealous of the new girlfriend and rage on social media.

In my opinion it’s dead on arrival. Canadians don’t want the massive immigration this will bring from sluggish European economies. Europe won’t want Canadian agricultural imports. And what is this about associate members? I thought we Europeans made a point about memberships being all or nothing from now on (Euro, regulations, etc.) Let’s bring the UK back at this rate.

I used OVH for personal projects but had to stop. They randomly block IPs from the iCloud Private Relay network, causing connection timeouts. Their SPF records for outgoing email services are incorrect and missing IP addresses. I opened a support ticket over a year ago, and it still hasn’t been resolved. (Obviously, I’ve moved my emails elsewhere because I’d like them to be delivered.)

Maybe their professional offerings are better. Never made me want to try though...

Is there any science out there to support it? Gabapentin is also supposed to be a miracle cure but it only works (anecdotally) for very few people and the studies are inconclusive.

By any chance do you remember where it was? Thanks

I think Musk's mistake was to openly embrace conservative opinions and fringe conspiracy theories (his since deleted tweet about Paul Pelosi for instance). I already know of people in more liberal circles that would never buy one of his cars, just like they don't buy "my pillows" or go to Hobby Lobby. It's a big target demographic for EVs and doesn't bode too well for Tesla in the current political climate.

What colonies are you referring too? The last one was Djibouti in 77...

I don't think I'll answer to a comment calling me a fascist. Comparing Algeria before independence and the current status of overseas France is dishonest.

It's not true. Overseas parts of France are fully integrated in the republic, and citizens there have the same rights as in the mainland. There's no distinction between "settlers" and "natives" from a legal point of view (the economic picture is a bit different). There have been referendums in New Caledonia about independance and people there still want to be part of France.

To be faire, I don't even understand how New Caledonia or French Polynesia (where people have full representation in congress) can be on the non-self-governing list of the UN when Puerto Rico (where citizens don't have a seat in the house, senate or electoral college) isn't.

I think most of these gases are or will eventually be banned in Europe because of their impact on the environment. I've seen newer datacenters use water mist sprays.

I never really understood the whole thing around Paul Graham. His insights on startups and tech are somewhat interesting and legitimate, but at this point I feel like some people are taking his every thought, even mondaine, as gospel...

I used to do that for the convenience of the autofill but my paranoia got the best of me. If someone got access to my 1password he could access all my accounts, which defeats the purpose of two factor authentication. It turns out that with the shared copy/paste feature between Mac and iOS, using a phone app isn't such a hassle.
