  • Water-soluble circuit boards could cut carbon footprints by 60 percent | Engadget

    Jump

  • They’re still encased in polymer. “Soluboard printed circuit boards need to be immersed in 90°C water (close to boiling point) for 30 minutes for the product to delaminate”, according to the CEO. I don’t imagine it will just melt/degrade slowly in a very short time span simply because of environmental heat and humidity.

  • Prendre l'avion quatre fois dans sa vie : près de la moitié des Français disent adhérer, selon un sondage

    Jump

  • L’avion n’est pas trop cheap

    Je réagis juste sur ce point car l’avion est indéniablement trop cheap pour une raison simple : il est indirectement subventionné. Environ 15% des humains en vie aujourd’hui ont pris l’avion, mais 100% paient le prix des externalités négatives (essentiellement le réchauffement climatique auquel l’aviation contribue environ 3–4%). C’est donc une subvention déguisée par tous ceux qui ne volent pas mais en subissent les conséquences malgré tout (coût d’adaptation au changement climatique, perte d’activité agricole, décès surnuméraires, migrations forcées, etc).

    Si l’on devait réintégrer le coût de ces externalités dans la structure tarifaire d’un billet d’avion, selon le principe pollueur-payeur, ce serait environ $180 dollars par tonne de carbone qu’il faudrait facturer aux passagers. On serait alors plus proche du coût réel du transport aérien.

  • Aaron is no longer considered as cofounder by reddit. He fought for free speech. - Lemmy.world

    Jump

  • Ok now you’re just being a troll. Instead of contributing meaningfully to the discussion, you picked up on three words each from the parent and myself, ignored the entirety of our respective arguments, and derailed what could have been an intelligent discussion about Aaron’s actual contributions to early Reddit and turned it into a superficial joust about some words you unilaterally proclaimed to be verboten.

    Be better. Be more charitable and thoughtful. Otherwise we’re just pushing people back to Reddit.

  • I for one don’t see the issue with that “to be fair” statement here. The parent used it merely to announce that they were going to take the counter-point to the most likely community view, i.e., they were going to defend Reddit’s action of not naming Swartz as co-founder. They then proceeded to do so by explaining that Swartz never really played a co-founder role. The comment implied “to be fair [to whoever at Reddit made that decision] and then went on to provide supporting argumentation.

    It’s quite different from the lazy use of the phrase, e.g., “to be fair, both sides suck” that you may find in political discussions without supporting arguments, for example.

  • It’s not just the loss of brain white matter and myelin with age, it’s also the “generational thinking” that the parent eluded to at the end of their post.

    The world has changed radically from the time that you (or I) went through our formative years. We may still perform cognitively, but eventually our software is from an obsolete and bygone era, and we must admit that we’re just not in tune with the more contemporary zeitgeist.

    It happens with every generation. Science has a saying for it: that it progresses one funeral at a time, because established ideas must physically die with their owners to make space for disruptive thinking.

    Henry Ford used to disallow “beat practices” in his factories because he wanted new guys to repeat the same failed ideas and experiments that had been tried before, without being discouraged to do so. The practical reason is that the world changes, and things that were brushed off as not working some 20 years ago can suddenly start working due to a context change.

    A generation lasts 20–30 years, and yet in politics it lasts 40–60 years. Those dinosaurs in politics have no actual grasp of how the rest of the world has evolved around them. They don’t understand tech, or climate issues, or academic inflation, etc. They still apply recipes from a bygone era in which they were actually skillful and successful policymakers, but that era ended long ago.

  • Nefarious Data Collection Masking as Public Art? An A.I. Company Has Placed Mirrored Spheres Around the World in a Massive Eye-Scanning Project | Artnet News

    Jump

  • What an odd title. WorldCoin never masked its biometric collection effort as “public art”. There was never any mention of art anywhere in the white paper or anything. Art has literally nothing to do with any of what WorldCoin is doing.

    The concerns about WorldCoin are absolutely genuine and worthy of public discussion, but this particular title is just clickbait from an art publication trying to draw traffic about a trendy but unrelated AI and crypto topic.

  • J’ai juxtaposé “preuves” et “anecdotiques” précisément pour signifier qu’elles n’en sont pas, et qu’elles relèvent de l’anecdote. J’aurais effectivement dû plutôt utiliser le terme “indices” ou “présomptions” pour être moins ambigu.

  • Netflix password crackdown has actually caused a growth in Subscriptions

    Jump

  • If Netflix’s reporting on the matter is to be believed, then it’s an ironic outcome considering the wave of strongly-opinionated comments predicting the death of Netflix following the crackdown on password sharing. I guess convenience and habits really trump principles and posturing.

  • Merci pour le lien, c’est un point de départ utile et intéressant. Je vais regarder plus en profondeur. Je note dans le résumé :

    De manière générale, 40 % des personnes condamnées en 2019 sont en état de récidive ou de réitération. Cette part est de 8 % pour les condamnés pour crime et de 40 % pour ceux condamnés pour un délit (14 % au titre de la récidive légale, 26 % au titre de la réitération).

    Depuis 2005, la proportion de récidivistes augmente aussi bien en matière délictuelle (+ 8 points) que criminelle (+ 5 points). En revanche, la proportion de condamnés en état de réitération est stable.

  • Je n’ai pas indiqué mes sources, donc il me semble inopportun de juger d’une éventuelle ligne éditoriale - en l’occurrence, c’est la moyenne de plusieurs sources.

    Par ailleurs, que ce soit du vent ou pas, une hypothèse n’est que cela - une suspicion qui attend d’être confrontée à des données. Je viens ici pour demander si ces données existent.

    Je ne comprends pas trop cette attitude qui consiste à sous-entendre que la démarche ne vaut rien car elle n’est pas fondée, lorsque mon but est justement d’en tester le fondement. Cela va un peu à l’encontre de l’esprit de discussion de ce fil, me semble-t-il.

  • Observateur distant de l’actualité judiciaire française, j’ai une hypothèse (superficielle à ce stade) que les récidivistes et réitérants représentent une part disproportionnellement élevée des délits et crimes.

    Les preuves dont je dispose sont essentiellement anecdotiques : des faits divers rapportés dans la presse dont les auteurs étaient déjà très “défavorablement connus” pour des faits similaires, selon la formule consacrée. Certains en ont appelé au retour des peines plancher, ou l’instauration de peines exponentielles.

    Existe-t-il des données publiques juxtaposant le nombre de délits et de crimes commis en France d’une part, et les antécédents judiciaires de leurs auteurs d’autre part ? Ce qui permettrait de faire une analyse de Pareto (et le cas échéant rejeter cette hypothèse).

  • After 25 years, Netflix will be shutting down its DVD rental service this September

  • Gurman: First M3 Apple Silicon Macs likely to launch in October

    Jump

  • According to the [GeekBench 6] test, the M3 performed over 20% faster than both chips [M2 Max and M2 Pro] and scored 3,472 points in the single-core tests and 13,676 points in the multi-core tests. The numbers place the M3 above its predecessor, the M2 Max and M2 Pro [even though the M3 has fewer cores].

  • I agree with you.

    A company’s core business and skillset is rarely to manage an on-prem IT infrastructure, which is a highly complex endeavor these days. Security most always benefits from being put in the hands of cloud providers such as Microsoft, Amazon, or Google, who can mobilize the best talent and apply economies of scale and modern best practices to cybersecurity across an entire stack.

    It also means far fewer liability headaches for the companies that transfer this difficult and onerous responsibility to cloud providers. It’s not even necessarily cheaper to go full cloud; I’ve seen multiple examples where it wasn’t, but the reduction in complexity and liability made common sense. So even the “LaTe-StAgE CaPiTaLiSm!!” claim is just a tired trope at this point.

    It’s easy to focus on one publicized exploit of Microsoft’s cloud like this one, and not see the other side of the argument of how many exploits were avoided over the years by not having individual companies manage their own servers. It’s still entirely plausible that the general move to cloud infrastructure since the late 2000s is a net win for cybersecurity in aggregate.

    I would also add that whether other cloud customers might be breached simultaneously in the extremely rare event of a cloud-wide exploit is not a consideration when a company decides to move from on-prem to cloud. It’s just a Moloch problem that doesn’t and shouldn’t concern them.
