  • An Illustrated Guide to Plastic Straws
    "Think globally, act locally” : there is only one reasonable conclusion with regard to plastics.

    Globally: One and only one solution exists to curbing the deluge of oceanic plastics. The international community has to get the Philippines and similar countries enough money to have proper garbage collection.

    Locally: You must reduce the amount of plastic shipped overseas by putting it in the regular garbage instead of the recycle bin.

    There is no other reasonable option, mathematically speaking, given the realities on the ground. And banning straws is just plain stupid.

  • Former Boeing 737 MAX Chief Technical Pilot Indicted for Fraud | Department of Justice
    Mark A. Forkner (former Chief Technical Pilot for Boeing) provided the Federal Aviation Administration’s Aircraft Evaluation Group with materially false, inaccurate, and incomplete information about a new part of the flight controls for the Boeing 737 MAX called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS).
    “In an attempt to save Boeing money, Forkner allegedly withheld critical information from regulators,”

  • Ammunition shelves bare as U.S. gun sales continue to soar
    ...
    The National Shooting Sports Foundation, an industry trade group, says more than 50 million people participate in shooting sports in the U.S. and estimates that 20 million guns were sold last year, with 8 million of those sales made by first-time buyers.
    ...
    Wustenberg emphasized the danger in first-time gun buyers not being able to practice using their new weapons.
    Going to the gun range entails more than trying to hit a target, he said. It’s where shooters learn fundamental skills like always pointing their guns in a safe direction and keeping their fingers off the trigger until they’re ready to fire.

  • MQA vs FLAC
    TL;DR :

    MQA :
    * is lossy
    * is proprietary
    * produces smaller files than FLAC
    * can only be played on compatible equipment, having the $$$ codec

    FLAC :
    * is lossless
    * is free

    I was initially reading https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-truth-about-high-resolution-audio-cd-quality-and-mqa/ and wondered what MQA was ;-)

  • Jeunes, mais analphabètes numériques
    - la fracture numérique prend aujourd’hui un tout autre sens. « La fracture, ce sont ces élèves qui savent apprendre avec les technologies et les autres qui pensent que l’ordinateur n’est qu’un jeu, un outil pour “socialiser”, être sur Facebook », explique-t-il. Même avec leur tablette dernier cri, ou le téléphone intelligent le plus récent, les jeunes ne sont pas tous en mesure d’utiliser les technologies à leur plein potentiel.

    - « On constate qu’essentiellement, les jeunes utilisent les technologies pour leur divertissement, pour les réseaux sociaux. Oui, ils ont accès au Web, mais ils ne savent pas nécessairement ce qu’ils font. Ils sont compétents avec l’outil, mais avec les logiciels, on est au même niveau que des personnes plus âgées. »

    - « Beaucoup de jeunes ne savent pas faire une table des matières dans un logiciel de traitement de texte ou utiliser un logiciel comme Excel. »

    - Le développement du jugement, de la recherche d’informations à la publication de photos personnelles en ligne, entre également dans la définition d’alphabétisme numérique.
