Hmmm, even if we allow for empirical scientific evidence, is there a non weird way he knows about the sperm count in the semen of adolescents? I hope he's making shit up because the alternative is a lot grosser

Male body letsgo!

I guess it's mostly because companies that don't try to grow are eventually pushed into irrelevance by companies that do. So most companies you hear about are growth oriented.

In some sense it can be good for consumers. If you have a nice idea for consumers, it's good that you are able to reach more of them or become more efficient in doing so.

Also, to start a business you need money. You can get money from investors, but they expect either interests on the loan, or that you grow so that their share is worth more. The latter is attractive, because you don't have to pay interests that can weigh your company down. But then the value of your company is almost defined by it's potential for growth. If you then decide not to grow anymore, this will tank the value of the company, and you might be stuck with a huge pile of stinking debt.

I am offended because there is something that looks like a swiss flag. It probably has another symbolism, but I don't like my country being associated to the KKK

Blasphemy! I am not from france but switzerland! (just kidding I am not upset about it)

I get the comparaison with Polytechnique

Your knowledge is so great. Also what is Ivy league???

I don't think any music in the comments of this posts are genuinely terrible in every aspect. This is also the case for my hated song. It follows many of the rules of a successful pop music, which is why it is.

I definitely hate it because I heard it too often. But I also believe that it is genuinely annoying. You can listen to it, even if you don't understand french. Tell me what you think!

Adieu de Jérémy Frérot.

j'ai dû l'écouter souvent parce qu'elle passait trop souvent à la radio là où je travaillais. Et maintenant j'ai développé une haine pour elle. Il chante bizarre, la mélodie est catchy mais mauvaise...

I guess there are two kinds of magic. There is the magic of Fourrier which is lossy with funny math. But it is understandable that one can get higher compression ratios when it's lossy. But I find it even more magic that we can still find better ways to encode images losslessly. I would have thought we had already long found the optimal way

Compression algorithms are magic. Especially lossless compression.

"Chat" pronounced in english is close to "chatte" so the joke still works :p
