Germany’s paralysis threatens European economy
  • lowered their forecasts for 2024: if just half a year ago, the German economy was expected to grow 1.3%, now the forecast has been cut to just 0.1%.

    Why is growth used as a metric? What does it implicate?

    Edit: does it mean growth of sales volume or production volume? If one takes inflation into account, a constant sales volume could mean a shrinking production volume?

  • You know what irritates me irrationally today, the saying "miss the forest for the trees"
  • I think the saying is about not losing sight of the big picture while focusing on the details. I think you may focus on the trees and the animals and the mushrooms. But you should also see the whole and the interplay between the individual parts. Presumably.

  • is there any drawback to having too many partitions?
  • Lvm could be the way to go. Start with the minimum amount of partitions (i.e. / and /boot and swap as lv, maybe efi as a real partition). Add additional lv later if/ when you need them. You can always re-size a partition and the wrapping lv when you want to re- distribute storage-space.

    I never needed more than these partitions. But that is just my use case.

    Edit: oh. Missed the Multi boot point. Forget what I wrote. :)

  • This person is kind to me, therfore I now love them.
  • When I imagine Ralph, I see an outsider who is avoided by the other children and ignored by the teachers, with a loving but somehow helpless father. ...being lonely , not being part of the group, not understanding the rules of the world around him.

    I think it has to do with the need for attention and closeness. When you lack it, you turn to the person who has already fulfilled this need for you. It's hard to live with unfulfilled needs that you can't fulfill yourself. I guess the key is to learn how to find a relationship where your feelings are reciprocated (and to find out when they are not). I know that feeling and I don't have a solution.

    I don't know whether this is a characteristic that is more prevalent in autistic people.

  • Current state of EU legislation on crop breeding (from @methylcytosine on X)
  • It's about the creation of artifical markets - Allowing patents on genetic modifications in lifeforms so that one can sell something that basically copies itself if you provide it with a place to grow (exclusively) and some water and light. It's highly problematic.

    It's uncritical to play that utilisation rights game with music and videos and other works of art. No one starves to death from not listening to music. But you shouldn't play that game with food sources.

  • Thanks. That's interesting. The outcome looks positive regarding the yield sold/ha and spray of pesticides.

    I wasn't able to find the duration of the study and an answer to the question: Are the improved yields/ reduced pesticide results stable over multiple years (1/5/10 years after the switch to Bt brinjal)? I searched for year and duration in the text and wasn't able to find it. But I'm at my mobile phone atm. 😒

  • My knowledge stems from just my memory of one or two documentations I watched. But there they stated that the gmo advantage is just a marketing lie in the long run, because nature adapts and yields decrease and herbicide/ fungicide usage increases.

    Is there a study that shows that gmo performs better (yield wise, impact on the fauna, toxicity) than all other approaches?
