I’m curious about the path this has taken. Why would El Pais even write about this? Maybe their readers are more attracted by the generic doomsday message about inflation than about Bouillon Chartier. Interesting how an article that initially reads like (and maybe was thought to be) advertisement takes such a turn. Unfortunately I don’t know enough about how the press works.
This is a very distorted article. I live in Paris and most restaurants offer 3 cours meals for under 20EUR contrary to what the article claims. Bouillon Chartier is only a place for affordable food for Parisian when squinting very hard. It’s rather a highly touristy place with a particular business model. Without going into detail about it, it’s strange to take such an outlier focused on foreigners as the centerpoint of an article about “inflation ridden Paris”. Other nice initiatives should have been there.
But can you really get an autoimmune disease by eating too much supplements? I thought the body would just not retain them. It’d be quite difficult to eat exactly the quantity required without any self regulating mechanisms in place.
Seems the main suspect didn’t come from a “deprived suburb”—at least according to the latest update by lemonde. Typical reflexive, prejudice pattern thinking.
“Il habite « le centre » de Romans-sur-Isère, et « non le quartier de la Monnaie », a précisé le procureur de Valence” from https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2023/11/21/apres-la-mort-d-un-adolescent-de-16-ans-a-crepol-sept-personnes-interpellees-annonce-gerald-darmanin_6201515_3224.html
To be fair, there aren’t many of these in downtown Paris in the first place. Probably way fewer than in American or already German cities. This referendum feels more symbolic than anything else.
Interesting. Yea, the snob, chauvinist argument, or from a more positive perspective a healthy habit of caring more about food quality and a willingness to pay for it as opposed to saving money for expensive cars, is also high on my list. It also changes the dynamics from competition on lowest price to competition on quality—sometimes probably allowing for much higher margins than what you could get for the same product in Germany.
Thanks for this. When I moved to France from Germany, basic meat (“Hackfleisch”) was almost twice the price there and it puzzled me how this is sustainable in an open market. I guess meat quality is not visible enough to the end customer for a market to equilibrate out such differences. Are the differences regulation driven?
Maybe there will be cameras as well that sign the pictures they take?
Agree. The issue with reproducibility comes up mostly once you are building your own containers, many of them, and run them in production but then it can hit very hard because it becomes too expensive then to work around all of the following: Once you are hit by a problem (sometimes years after building the original one), it’s hard to debug bc you can’t be certain to be able to reproduce what you have. It’s even difficult to just find out what is in an existing Docker container, companies are running costly scans for that. And finally you can’t compose (you can mostly layer) as well one Docker container with another. Using Nix with flakes gets rid of all of that and you can still have Docker or other containers as output.
“artificial intelligence has the power to save the world”—save it from what exactly?
Could also use Nix as package manager on Ubuntu. It does essentially what you say (symlinking) with guaranteed isolated dependency graphs.
Are you aware of this project: https://github.com/NixOS/mobile-nixos ?
How do sql query engines backed by S3 like Trino (Athena) behave for euch queries?
Is Django not FOSS?
Thanks, that’s helpful! Is this repeated querying essentially what graph databases do under the hood? Can this be more efficient than multiple joins? Also, what are RDF strategies?
Interesting discussion in the article. Seems like it’s a pretty experimental therapy atm without any conclusive evidence that it works.

The paradox is that continous decline also leaves space for new.
