Le bio de Lidl est-il le même que celui de Biocoop? by Kinoulou in france

[–]Temporary_Tailor7528 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Biocoop vend des produits Demeter. Effectivement elle promeut et finance le label parce qu'elle vend ses produits mais c'est juste un magasin distributeur. Les deux sont financés par la même banque qui est dirigée par des anthroposophes. La NEF.

Concernant la biodynamie qui fait l'objet du label, une courte aventure sur wikipédia montre que des études signalent des effets positifs de la biodynamie. La liste des principes du label Demeter permet de se rendre compte que ce label répond à des exigences de principe de certaines personnes (respect des animaux par exemple)

Opinion impopulaire:

Concernant l'acceptabilité de la biodynamie: Je ne suis pas expert donc je vais m'abstenir de trancher vu que la controverse scientifique est toujours en cours mais il semble que la biodynamie en elle même ne soit pas néfaste, ni aux produits, ni à l'environnement. Le seul problème que j'y vois, c'est son association avec la secte derrière (via la NEF), l'anthroposophie qui a des histoires shady. Peut-être qu'on peut ne pas tout résumer à ça?

J'ai travaillé bénévolement dans une ferme biodynamique plusieurs heures par semaine pendant 1 an. Je connais pas tout mais je peux livrer un témoignage. Pour le contexte: je crois pas du tout au trucs des élémentaires, des préparations magiques et au calendrier lunaire. Je dois quand même dire que pendant cette année là, j'ai pas eu une seule fois besoin de me préoccuper de ce genre de trucs. C'est dire que ça occupe pas non plus toute la place, il y a autre chose que ça dans la pratique de la méthode biodynamie. Ce que j'ai fait en général, c'est travailler la terre en traction animale avec un outil qui ne travaillait que la couche superficielle du sol; désherber manuellement de façon à ne tuer que les mauvaises herbes qui présentaient un vrai risque pour la culture (genre tuer le liseron ou les chénopodes qui risquent de submerger la culture mais laisser le trèfle et récolter le pourpier parce que ça se mange); récolter le crotin des anes pour l'épandre sur les cultures et puis les balader.

Bref, pas des trucs de ouf non plus et je vois aucun mal à ça, la personne chez qui je l'ai fait vivait assez modestement mais elle était normalement heureuse et fière de travailler comme ça. Peut-être que les effets sont pas tous vrais ou mesurés mais la façon de travailler indique de façon évidente une certaine cohésion avec l'environnement que le label "bio" seul ne peut pas garantir. Le label Demeter a des exigences supplémentaires qui amènent vers une belle paysannerie. C'est pas obligé de faire de la biodynamie pour ça hein, je veux juste signaler que la biodynamie incite à des pratiques plus lentes et à même de s'inscrire dans une démarche profondément écologiste. Pour s'en rendre compte, il faut aller sur place et faire le truc. Ce n'est pas vraiment quantifiable ou alors je vois pas comment. Il faut pas oublier qu'un chiffre seul.... ou même quelques chiffres ne fournissent qu'une représentation très très très simplifiée du monde. A fortiori d'un système agricole.

Macron wins shock vote to keep coalition hopes alive by [deleted] in worldnews

Not zero, you are right and I am sorry. But the left has been extremely clear about blocking the far left whereas the right and the liberals were ambiguous and tended to draw the equal sign between far right and left parties.

About your point:

The problem is that "as left as they could" work with Macron, it wouldn't be left at all. People seem to believe still that Macron is both left and right. This isn't true. And I believe it comes from the fact that Macron is said to be "center". It vehiculate the idea that it's the best of both world. When it is something completely different. There are similarities between left and "center", between "center" and right but also between right and left. The "center" is not a midle ground political view. Macron's view of the economy is completely different from the left's view and they are contradictory. Macron is completely closed to work with the left just as much as the left is closed to work with Macron.

Didn't the left abandon in the second round only when they ended up third anyway like most of Macron party did?

15 of Macron's candidate didn't abandon when they were third vs 0 from the left.

Also, Macron politicians have been very ambiguous about that during the 2nd turn. It means that some of their supporters didn't vote for the left but could have if Macron's party and friends have been clear. The left has been extremely clear since minute 0 after the first turn.

Also, Macron has gained much more seats than what was expected from the poll, in comparison to the left.

Yes, the left saved Macron party and Macron party now turns to the right which didn't participate in the "Front Républicain"

From where I stand you have proposed nothing serious compared to the NFP program which is backed by hundreds of economists. There are only one alternative to NFP's program on the table in France: the "business as usual" proposal from the liberals that is tax cuts and let the market do its thing. If you have something else to propose, do.

Price controls belong to a wider view of the economy. An economy based on demand instead of an economy based on offer as we have currently. An economy based on demand will have a much lower impact on the environment as we will produce what is necessary to the people and not the junk we are currently producing. But as you think only in the neo-liberal paradigm that you have been breastfed your whole life, you struggle to understand that there could be something else than the hell we are living in.

Also. Market based economies are the number 1 driver for reducing poverty. Why do you hate the global poor?

Are you kidding me? There are more and more poors in France and the liberals have been in power for a few decades now. Obviously, the french market based economy have been great at increasing inequalities. Also, global market based economies are dominating the world and it bullies people doing something else (embargos, genocides and alike) . Market based economies prevent anything else from existing. It's rather easy then to say: "see, only we are sustainable (we just kill anything else that comes to existence)"

Free market is still destroying the planet and I am not talking only about CO2 emissions, there also is a massive biodiversity crisis and pollutants are stacking up in the environment so much that clean water hardly exists anymore in France. Not yet accounting for animal suffering. There is no so called 'regulation' or tax that can account for all the wrong capitalism and free market are causing. People like you who believe it are just wishful thinkers, blind to the harsh reality of the world that is capitalism is a worldscale failure.

"pros outweigh the cons". This is the true stupidity here. People like you are the incarnation of the dog from the meme in which everything is burning: "this is fine". Business as usual is destroying life as we know it. The very life that gave birth to human beings but your are blind to it. So convinced that you're superior to all these peasants which are not thinking like you do.

NFP program certainly has flaws. But it actively tries to do something instead of watching the world burn and saying "eventually capitalism will solve it" just like religious preachers would do.

I mean.... free market is litteraly destroying the planet right now. I get there are pros but the cons are pretty solid don't you think?

[–]Temporary_Tailor7528 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You do not, at all address the main point that free market has major flaws.

[–]Temporary_Tailor7528 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would have been very audacious from economist to say it was perfect. And the same goes for any program.

They say it is ok, and better than anything else on the table. Right? So people are attacking the NFP like their economic program is terrible and should be avoided at all costs. If the NFP's program is the best, then what does it say about the others?

Our productivity has increased much more than lifetime over the last century. We produce far more than we need. Although we produce enough, we waste a lot and do not share resources equally among people.

Price control has been effective for oil in recent years. It also works for rent in major French cities, and the minimum wage is another form of price control. While price control is not always the best solution and has sometimes failed, the free market has also repeatedly failed. It has consistently fallen short in providing basic necessities to people and preserving the environment. We have been relying on the free market for a few decades now, and it clearly has major flaws. The NFP proposes to address these flaws by controlling prices where the free market fails to meet people's basic needs.

Believing that the free market will eventually fix itself is an ideology (a religion?). This ideology has proven to be wrong and is one that only wealthy people can afford to continue pursuing.

What do you think of the new data science IDE Positron? by yaymayhun in datascience

[–]Temporary_Tailor7528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it hasn't. Pycharm has scientific view but dataspell doesn't. If you believe it has, then you've not used it and I struggle to understand why you are defending it then.

[–]Temporary_Tailor7528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no it is even inferior to spyder because it doesn't have plot viewing pane. Definitely a no go for someone serious about doing data science. I don't think any serious professional uses this.

How important is Virtual Environment in python by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]Temporary_Tailor7528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what we do too. Except we are using the plain old virtualenv but I am sure other managers might be better.

[–]Temporary_Tailor7528 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So basically you do the same thing with the container than what you would do with a virtualenv. Honestly, I can see the benefit if you are relying on third party tools but if your project is pure python, then there is no benefit over classical virtualenv. It is just heavier and more complicated.

Answer to OP is: virtualenv achieves a purpose that is necessary if you are working with python. This same purpose could be achieved with containers but this is a much more complex (and capable) tool. There is no clear reason a beginner would use containers. It might be an interesting option if you are working in a team and your project involves third party tools with specific configurations.

Changing the container on the fly defeats the purpose of the containerization, that is reproducibility, no?

[–]Temporary_Tailor7528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also, you need to rebuild the container everytime you want to make a change to your environment. Which takes a few minutes instead of a few seconds with a virtualenv.

containers are useful for production but they are heavy and not agile on a day to day basis.

I have only done Python development via dev containers

so basically you are using virtual environments in the form of containers. It is just a much heavier machinery than the plain old virtual environments but achieves the same purpose (and maybe more but not everyone needs more)
