It's great that school are surveiling kids.

Does it means that school will finally get an appointed psychologist that meets the kids regularly to check on their mental health ? This way if there is any sign of depression they can easily get some free counseling sessions ?

What do you mean "This is not how we do things here !" ?

I first read it as "Trump will retaliate to Poland's proposed bitch tax" and I thought that yeah, it's totally something that could have happened.

It's Barbados, more than 95% of the population is black.

So not having a black person in the photo would have been weird.

A lot of F16 parts were manufactured in Europe as well, it was part of the deal to buy the aircrafts.

I've worked for multiple aerospace companies in Belgium and Switzerland that were manufacturing f16 parts.

The Roquefort (French blue cheese) is made from the mold that grows on rye bread.

So even the moldy bread, in the right condition, can become a delicacy.

Reintroducing mammoths in the arctic could potentially help reduce the climate change.

There is a scientist in Siberia who built the Pleistocene Park. An area where he reintroduced a lot of large herbivores and studied their impact. He's saying that boreal forest have a very low biodiversity compared to mammoth steppes. The steppes have way more animals, are stocking way more carbon in the soil and prevent methane leaks by keeping the permafrost frozen due to the low albedo of the biome.

The problem is that with the mammoths are indispensable to maintain the steppes. They are the only animal big enough to clear up trees, without them the forest is taking over and all the ecosystem of the steppes disappear.

So (according to this scientist), resurrecting the mammoth could revive a whole ecosystem, with a very rich biodiversity and that could have a give impact on the climate.

It's from French protest against the labor law reform 8 years ago. The photographer is Stephane Mahe

One thing to know is that in France the police are using tear gas grenades but also "sting ball grenades" (Grenade de désencerclement). These grenades are explosive grenades with hard rubber balls in it.

They can kill you, cause serious injuries and will blow off you hand of you grab them.

This is why grabbing a grenade can be extremely dangerous and using tennis racquets is a way to mitigate a bit these risks.

I know it's not really a truck, it's a preorder and limited to 80km/h but I love the look of this thing and it cost 10800€

Yes, a few years ago when I was manufacturing aircraft engines (the LEAP specifically) we had three variants of the same engine.

A, B and C for the Airbus A320 neo, Boeing 737 Max and Comac c919.

I would imagine they use the microphone, accelerometer, some processing power and internet connectivity (WiFi or mobile).

Trying to set up a dedicated hardware with ask that would cost way more than just buying a bunch of pixel phone.

Same for the software, on a smartphone you can just create an app that will record and process all the information vs creating a custom firmware on a custom hardware.

I guess there is also the availability of the technicians.

Finding someone to develop and maintain an android app is much easier than finding someone to maintain a custom hardware/firmware.
