@onepict@aral To be clear, I was not suggesting Aral personally takes money from EU funding projects.
I think (and I re-read my post) I suggested folks moving to USA that start successful ventures are only adding to their nation increasing debt burden. Even when "successful", they collectively couldn't wipe out that debt burden.
I went on to suggest VC money isn't the only model.
I Agree the EU should fund Libre software (as an ideal) and Open software where there are no Libre alternatives.
@eaton I have only been able to find data going back to 1977, if you have more information; I'm willing to receive it. But also how far back are we going to need to go?
I Was pretty sure due to religious objections, shrimp, like lobster being a bottom feeder, would have made it undesirable for all but the servants. Lobster also used to be very cheap, far back enough.
I Obviously don't care about such things as part of my dietary choices; but I would have thought if cherry picking was an issue.
@eaton I'm a data person so I just searched to see if I could find what you just asserted, but it seems plain incorrect. 1977 to 2024, inflation adjusted $20 of shrimp back then, would now be $100
As a consumer, you have a 5x increase in costs.
Again, I've looked into shrimp farming; the book you read seems to be the misleading thing here.
Used to be 500g for £3.50; now its 150-200g for £4.50
over 20 bucks a kilo feels not cheap. Chickens, a much larger animal cost less, and are supposed to be actually cared for, rather than extracted from an ocean.
Like most guilt porn, there may be some truth; but what have been the outcomes since "we learned about this" over a decade ago?
@eaton comical, sure; but likely ignoring that they might get location data; interest data, and with interests companies can jack up the cost of the things you like doing.
There are a million ways folks under-estimate the future value of present and historical data
@GossiTheDog Perhaps there are use-cases I'm failing to appreciate, but I just don't believe this to be true.
- Is it not turn-key enough? - Is it that your vendor, like crowdstrike is not that good with [a specific] Linux? - Are you mistaking threat detection, for backdooring your own users to "scan billions of events"?
@eaton I sometimes use Pup to get the contents of pages I curl by CSS-selector. It's sub-process, so not applicable for your use-case, but for example; if someone, like the UK government were to store all registered company data on a HTML web-page...
