    The Very Real Scenario Where Trump Loses and Takes Power Anyway
  • By great, I meant that it is indeed the second largest democracy in the world and that, imperfect as it may be, it is functional... But that last statement will soon be put to the test I'm afraid.

  • An interactive map to help the public identify electoral gerrymandering in the U.S.

    Every 10 years, U.S. states redraw their congressional and state legislative maps to account for changes in population. In many states, the politicians who control this process draw district lines in a way that maximizes their party’s partisan advantage and makes it effectively impossible for their opponents to win power.

    This practice is called gerrymandering and here is a map to know more about it.

    The Very Real Scenario Where Trump Loses and Takes Power Anyway
  • I'm sorry, dear US-American friends because you have a great democracy but also at the same time one of the most flawed electoral systems of any democratic state in the world...

  • Paris : un cycliste de 27 ans Ă©crasĂ© par un automobiliste en SUV aprĂšs une altercation, une enquĂȘte ouverte pour meurtre
  • Et puis ? Malheureusement, ces actions sont quotidiennes et pas poursuivies en France, mĂȘme avec une preuve vidĂ©o, tant qu'il n'y a pas de blessĂ© ou tuĂ©... Il faut faire en sorte que la poursuite soit systĂ©matique et lĂ  encore que la peur change de camp.

  • ohoho
  • It's a large-spotted genet :)

  • Not really, it's more the red costume that was! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_Christmas

  • Publishing Revenue
  • I have a stupid question but what are the costs of a journal like this? I mean, if they don't pay the researchers and the reviewers, what do they do?

  • Spoon.
  • Somebody wants a word with you

  • Tim Walz’s net worth is less than the average American’s
  • Perhaps it's because our society values certain professions much more than others, particularly those in the social/educational sector, which are particularly undervalued. IMO, we need to put everything on the table and reconsider what we want to be considered as useful work for society.

  • Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line
  • I agree with you that it would be foolish to believe that any company would support a cheap device perpetually but I think it should be common practice (or mandatory) to open the software so that people can extend the life of these devices. Generally speaking, as a species we cannot afford to waste electronic devices simply because the software is not up to date.

  • Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line
  • Well, the article says: "Google says it will continue to push software and security updates to its newer devices without specifying which ones.".

    So only newer devices (and we don't know which ones), and if you are a bit familiar with technology, you would very well know that they will just quit updating the software anyways after some time as they stopped making the whole Chromecast line.

    That's still a lot of devices that would be perfectly usable and will eventually go to waste. So imo my remark about the fact that we should have laws forcing manufacturers to make their software open source as soon as they're no longer updated is still valid!

  • Google is discontinuing the Chromecast line
  • And? Do they plan to put all the software open source so that the millions of hardware they sold would not go to waste in some years? We should force them to by law.

  • Bringing it Back for Honor of the British Elections
  • Nope, France is unfortunately not breaking the circle, because the left did not win the election, they just have more MPs than the others, but not at all a strict majority. Now, Uninspiring "center" and right (and why not some far right) are trying to form an alliance to form a government...

  • Not you
  • It's been 7 years that Macron and his minions did all they could to divide french society in order to stay in power. They criminalized the mostly peaceful ecological and social protests, they (over)used all the least democratic powers (49.3 and others) they had to push through socially unjust reforms, they have cynically and with the sole aim of winning votes, lumped together the parties of the left and the far right, and have deliberately blurred the political field. They refused to stand in the way of the far right in the last parliamentary elections, allowing a few hundred of them to become MPs and giving them prestigious positions in the parliament, simply out of political expediency. They have constantly pushed far-right themes such as security and immigration into the public debate, again simply to try and divide people and win votes. For these european elections, they snubbed all other parties other than the extreme right and even gave them more credibility (and publicity) by sending the Prime Minister to debate with their representative (and with no one from any other party). Macron, who said a few years ago that he would do everything to ensure that people no longer had any reason to vote for the far right, has been playing with fire in an attempt to divide the country and keep power. He is guilty of the current situation, and the dissolution of the assembly is not a clever or courageous move, but rather a cynical act of impotence by a lonely man who now wants to play the "it's me or chaos" game. To think that if the far right wins these next elections and a PM from their ranks is appointed, this would be an opportunity to prove how incompetent they are and destroy them, is to becompletelyy delusional. It's forgetting that this would put France in a catastrophic situation for years to come, with social and ecological ruin, and above all that its main effect would be to open the Overton window even wider, making it even more likely that the far right would soon gain to the real power with no real counterweight, the Presidency.
