€90k is in the top 5% salaries in France. Of course you can live in the Alps, or anywhere else in France for that matter.
It's not clear from the revised title either though. In fact I found it even more confusing. The issue is the ambiguity of the wording "with a two-stone handicap", not where it's located in the sentence.
While it's not official, GoRatings (https://www.goratings.org/en/) ranks all players based on a variation of the Elo system (note that it is international, even if in practice you'd have to scroll quite far to find a…

You're right or wrong in relation to a given statement. If your point is just that there may be an AI bubble, then yes the fact that it hasn't popped yet does not prove it wrong. But that's not what Ed Zitron is saying;…
If Ed Zitron was merely saying that there is a AI bubble on the markets that will ultimately collapse even if we're not exactly sure when and how, then such prediction would be less interesting but also much harder to…
Altman and Amodei do not make a living out of that. They make a living out of being CEOs of OpenAI and Anthropic. Whether they are doing well in this position is a different question, but that has little to do with…
Why ?
An extreme insult, seriously? It seems pretty neutral, if un-exciting, to see EU institutions displayed on Euro banknotes. It also avoids the obvious pitfall of national landmarks.
Quoting the article: > Applying for highly competitive grants with limited funding is what scientists have always had to do to carry out the science—a flawed process with few alternatives. But arbitrary cancellations…
You're changing the discussion. I was specifically not discussing whether S&P would be right to change the rules. As I said, there can be good and legitimate reasons for such change; I'm not disputing it. The point of…
While there's some truth in your point, I think you're being unfair in framing this story as passive investors betraying their own philosophy because they suddenly realize this passivity would cause some "overpriced…
Thanks, but should I conclude you agree with my point?
> If a company is 1-2% of the total US market cap and not included in the index, then the index is wrong right now. To be clear, S&P 500 relies on float, not total US Market Cap, and Space X will have a tiny float. Even…
That she's French-Iranian? It says so right in the title so I may have misunderstood your question.

This is the only paper that is presented as a source for this statement. I'm not the one singling it out.
This title seems misleading. The EP paper appears to be highlighting the existence of a debate regarding VPN. Relevant quote: "Some argue that this is a loophole in the legislation that needs closing and call for age…
How would it work though? Also, not sure what makes it so impossible (debates on whether a given law is in effect seem pretty rare, though it does exist), but that may depend on where you come from and the applicable…

My counter point is "stocks are not crashing". It being an all time high was just to highlight how much "not-crashing" they are, but that doesn't really matter. Even if stocks were merely flat over the past year (or…
> Do your homework. About what though? You haven't explained what you meant by a crash so I don't have much more to go by to understand your point. If not the stock market, what's the market you mean is currently…
Well it's an all time high in EUR as well for instance. I haven't checked for CHF or other currency one may cherry-pick, but in any case it wouldn't change my point: even if it was slightly below an all time high, it's…
> This not a prediction. The crash is currently happening. The stock market being at an all-time high, a crash in the usual meaning of this term is not, by definition, currently happening. Since apparently this isn't…
You did not adress the point though. This isn't about the tens of thousands of people climbing, it's about the ones climbing free-solo, which is a much, much smaller number.
