VCs funding a company has nothing to do with innovation

Their goal is to make a profit

That's why we don't have fusion energy yet

And that's why Nuclear plants have stagnated for many decades already

Education is where innovation comes from, it's been like this for centuries (scientific, health, industry) and yet it's been neglected for decades, go look at the salaries of teachers, even in private schools

VC backed startups prevent innovation, look at today, we living a recession since 2008 because the market invested and moved their wealth in for profit pockets

If you invest in schools, you don't expect profit in return, you expect innovation in return

If you invest in a startup, you don't expect innovation in return, you expect profit in return

It is very simple

Galileo wasn't a VC and he wasn't backed by a VC

Even Tesla and SpaceX couldn't be where they are with only just VCs, they had to get massive help from the fed and the government to stay afloat, as well as a shit ton of internships from all around the world to sustain their R&D efforts


Try to get interested to what he is doing, talk to him, that way you can mention to him some cool stuff he can do with a computer like programming, even gamedev

He found an escape with computers, he found friends probably playing online, don't restrict that to him

Reading books 9h a day or staying on your computer 9h a day is the exact same


Teams is the definition of what's wrong with microsoft

Nobody gives a shit anymore at that company

I keep say the same shit, but nothing changes, they have major culture and hiring problems, at this point i'm not sure "major" is enough to describe how horrible it is

They fire random people, and keep the problematic seeds, worse, they reward them!


It's an american company, therefore it can't offer foreign sovereign services

It's impossible and is not compatible

Sovereign service means it is owned, controlled and operated by locals

Anything else is BS


French datacenters are the most energy/water efficient in Europe

I don't think you should worry too much


whenever an old man is tracking and watching every steps of your little daughter, it's a weird dude

it should be the same for anyone who wants to track you online, including, and specially, companies


Raspbian is shady, they silently put a microsoft repo overnight, making fleets of raspberry devices ping and give telemetry to microsoft without your consent! including installing their GPG key!

AIUI this happens to everyone using VSCode on Linux.

VSCode is one of the most popular editors around now:

It's Microsoft's fault, not Raspbian or the RasPi Foundation. Everyone loves VSCode for some reason. So RPF provided it.

You don't get anything much for free from Microsoft without strings attached.


This website is one of the worst i ever seen

Low res pictures on announcement day

fire this web dev


> Full Res, 14575 X 8441, TIF (136.99 MB)

If this is low res then what is high res?


Seriously, very frustrating and almost anxiety-provoking.


Hi res downloads are available on the left side rail.


why do people still promote this american propagada machine disguised as an EU website?


One of the best roguelite card game

I just wish they'd add more content

A shame really


It has an enormous amount of mods and a bonkers daily challenge. Tuck in.


Today's daily challenge is hilariously bonkers btw. Cursed plus the card duping and if you go for broke on that like I did, dead branch and blue candle very early in the ? rooms.

I ended up with like 240 HP and an insane strength.
