Is the fire that bad ? Or is it due to Marseille airport also being the base for fire-fighting plane ?

no shit sherlock

Considering how bad the housing crisis is in France, I can’t imagine the British situation.

The working world is very different from the laid back, very slow moving world of Academia.

i wished that corporate was moving faster than academia, but its actually even slower and more conservative, spend 5 years getting a project to be finally put on the road-map, start working on-it for 2 years, get it descoped and postponed 2 years latter, then suddently have some manager panicking because we can’t meet our contractual commitment This is what I’ve been telling for years and why I was hired, go for a quick and dirty plan-B to have some QA telling you they can’t approve the release.

You can do a lot of critic to academia, but it’s way faster and more efficient than private corporation

With an entrance exam, which involve a panel of judges and university professor, and the N best grades get the available positions. To limit corruption, at leas where I am, these exam are anomyzed (even one you take at university are), so the people doing the grading doesn’t know who they grade, and only afterwards another person checks the name and the grade

ELI5 why would you elect a judge? You want judge to be independent from politics and just legal expert, here to apply strictly the law and limit as much as possible the weight of their personal opinions, so every citizen is judged the same way.

Electing judge seems backward and totally opposite to that goal

This is the case in many countries,

Either you agree to be escorted out of the country (some country even let you a delay to leave by yourself first) or they keep you in detention until a judge review your case and order your deportation. I believe that the US are famous for their ICE camp where people wait for a court order.

Pretty sure this is a big factor, globally, 10 years ago, Tesla was basically the only viable option if you looked for EV.

Nowadays every brand has some EV on their catalog. Even if the EV market grew massively you can just go to any dealership, and see EV in every shape/size/price rather than having to choose between 2-3 Tesla models which are big and expensive

Can we use !europe!europe@feddit.org to talk about European affairs ?

This stay, IMO, the big question mark. At which point does maintaining an aged machine is more expensive than building new one. Especially when 20 years are needed to build a new one (including 10 years of legal paperwork, trials and appeals)

Allegedly ? Isn’it their whole business model ?

Who’s going to tell them that far-right has a huge weight in many countries, sometimes even in leadership position or a serious contender for the next election ?

While we have a better social coverage than the US, we not doing much better in term of skewing to the right

TIL thanks,

I heard about wired torpedo but didn’t know it was also a thing for missiles

This kind of idea is between genius and stupid.

It’s a cheap an easy solution to a lot of problem, and it sounds like the kind of proposal an intern would do

While it’s a great initative, French research has it’s own issues, while historically it was offering permanent position early but with low salary, nowadays, it’s short term position for a low salary, not sure how it will unfold for the selected applicant.

Looking at the Ukraine and Armenia war I am getting curious about “cheap” drones or drone version of light aircraft. For the price of a Grippen, you can get 100 VL3 (even counting the modification for a drone version). Sure a cool ultra light plane isn’t barely as cool as fighter jet.

However, With a swarm of 100, I doubt air defence will intercept all of them even in modern countries. Let alone operations in countries with no air defences

With Orban and Meloni at the head of their respective countries and the far-right emboldened everywhere,

This is actually the real issue, while we look at Trump we have far-right government in the EU, and far-right parties having a significant weight in many countries. So let’s not laugh at US too fast

Can we avoid using the reciprocal word where it’s mostly an uniltaeral decision from US ?

I bet that the only US jobs that will be created on the short term will be to re-inforce the purchasing department of US companies importing foreign group, and the US-logistic department of foreign companies exporting in the US. But in between, I see why many corporation will push the brake on any non urgent purchasing. (And Ironically, business school graduates aren’t a category massively impacted by unemployement nor fearing to be replaced by LLM)

I am going to grab some pop-corn, and may-be even a Lyra, if I have to watch the world burn, let at least enjoy-it

And glad to be in Europe, where we’ll just be hit by the turbulence rather than the main blast

It’s an interesting societal question. Every worker has the right to social security, which should be paid by the employer. Is a prince who get an allowance a worker ? I don’t know the list of duties coming with it.

20 years ago, a group of french Ph.D student who were funded by a large cancer/disability foundation went to court to get social security, and they win, because they weren’t given pocket money by the foundation but were actually working for them, giving them the same right as every ohter worker. When you’re 25 year old you may not need social security (well breaking a leg may happen) but when you’re 60 year old you have significant chance to get large medical fee.
