Came from Italy and to be fair I didn’t try too much American food, I guess some corn meal and pancakes, meat was really good; but the real greatest thing I found in the US is the HUGE sandwiches they make in the Publix supermarket. Great stuff, loved it.
When I was young if you were poor you’d know your place in society and just eat fast food to reach a fast death.
Various different types of Parmigiano are available indeed. Some are made in large factories while other ones are made by a couple brothers with some cows. The culture is indeed there, which does not mean such a cheese can not be replicated or even made better somewhere else. Indeed, if you buy Parmigiano outside of Italy it is likely that what you’re buying is coming from a large production facility. However in Italy it is not uncommon to have small productions serving just a few villages.
However, regardless of this, counterfeit products are a problem for this system. Counterfeit products are not necessarily worse, however do not need to comply with the same quality standards which are in fact required in the production of Parmigiano. Allowing counterfeit products to be sold, especially in Italy, would likely drive out the production of proper Parmigiano and eventually result in a quality degradation.
After all, Parmigiano tends to be a cheap product; don’t be a dick and buy the real thing. I believe price increased recently, but I still see 36 months aged Parmigiano for about 15 €/kg while in Spain it is common to pay 10-15 €/kg for fresh cheese.
Is anyone trying to make counterfeit American cheese? As far as I understand it it’s generally the US who is producing counterfeit European cheese.
I am one of these child free uncles. I believe I have two nieces, one of which I guess to be 7 or 8 years old. I have seen one of them once.
I’m sorry, I clearly have no idea what’s good for them.
On a positive side, I live with two children and hopefully that’ll be enough for me to learn how to become a better uncle.
Currently having a new hire write a library in python and I noticed he was doing this in a few PRs. I went and explained to him this was not necessary and that he could just call the original function where he needed it. While showing him how to inline the functions I realised he was actually adding type annotations to functions which did not have them in the original libraries.
Nevermind what I told you, keep doing this.
Thanks for the clear explanation! It’s kind of wild that US citizens can not open companies abroad given the high reliance on finance of the US economy.
Most Americans I met in Europe are still paying taxes in the US. I believe they need to get citizenship or at the very least residency to not pay taxes in the US.
I know plenty people who are currently homeless in Europe originally lost their job following the 2008 crash.
Do you often cut and join audio that you did not record yourself?
The use of AI tools to assist rather than stand in for human creativity does not affect the availability of copyright protection for the output. Copyright protects the original expression in a work created by a human author, even if the work also includes AI-generated material.
I’m not sure where you get that from, I’m pretty sure vibe coding still complies with these indications
Same, my conclusion is that we have too much faith in medics. Not that Llama are good at being a medic, but apparently in many cases they will outperform a medic, especially if the medic is not specialized in treating that type of patients. And it does often happen around here that medics treat patients with conditions outside of their expertise area.
I mean, AI is what took the focus away from QC, especially after AlphaFold. Quantum Computing is potentially a society changing technology, now regarding practice we are really far away. The main expectations are in the field of medicine. I work in that field and I reckon that if the expectations placed on quantum computers were to come true, we’d be able to study the human body much quicker than now and to develop drugs much quicker than now. However, I do work nearby a Quantum computing centre and I have met quite a few persons who work in the field, both as researchers and entrepreneurs. Currently no computer can be used to make any real calculations and it is actually unclear if the molecular simulations are actually possible with a quantum computer. As far as I understand it, it may not be possible to encode the whole system in a quantum computer before it loses coherence. This may be an intrinsic limitation as for real problems you’d need to encode tens of thousands of electrons.
Raising price of water or increasing prices when supply is low is not something I’d see working in real world. Pretty sure if it did that I’d just smash the machine and advise the company to replace it with a normal one.
We may not know the name of the guy, but I sure remember the video.
Creating an id check does increase the risk, it would be an additional attack surface.
Social media may be dangerous, but I feel it should be supervised by the parents and that the government should provide the parents with good tools to supervise them. I do not like the idea of having websites being able to verify my identity, if it were to come to that I’d hope it would be for something more reasonable than protecting children from social media. I may prefer outlawing social media altogether at that point.
Does not mean that with a large enough volume you can’t make vodka out of them. If you found yourself in a pickle factory after an apocalypse and you didn’t like pickles, making vodka out of them would be a fair option.
I do not give them any money as I do not use their service in any form. However, there are a few reasons you may want to if you do use their services.
And I mean, they do offer you a way to listen to music for free anyway, they just have you listen to some advertisement. It is a fair exchange in my opinion. The pricing of their subscription is also fair in my opinion, it’s some 10-15€/month and you can listen to all the music you want all the time, that is about the price of a single disc. If you don’t like the advertisement and don’t want to pay to listen, I’d turn to Soulseek rather than trying to use their service for free.
I myself prefer to have my own music collection and to buy the music from musicians I like, but I do see the advantages of a service like Spotify and I feel it is pretty cool that they offer their huge catalogue for free to anyone in the world.
If you use Spotify, I’d pay for the subscription. If you don’t want to pay for the subscription, I would download the music so that you have it on your phone.
Is that a USB to USB adapter?
