@tkonto I didn't know that

What code editor do you use?

Great demonstration of static electricity.

Antennas - the more you try to learn, the more you realize that there is much more to learn and you know nothing!

Three years ago, new international rules took effect limiting sulfur in the heavy fuels used by ships. Practically overnight, maritime sulfur pollution dropped 85%. This is good for humans, as sulfur pollution is toxic, but probably had unintended climate consequences. A 🧵

@Lews___Therin @therealmissjo @MarioNawfal Excuses everywhere...

@therealmissjo @MarioNawfal The choice was to not shoot him, obviously, because not having a license is not that serious.

🚨 / 🇫🇷 FRANCE ON FIRE After Boy Shot at Traffic Stop You’ve probably seen all the videos of buildings and cars on fire, the explosions and reported shootings in Europe’s 3rd largest economy. Some have even compared the footage to a war zone. While this is very dramatic, to say the least, it still shows the extent of the unrest in the country. But why? WHY? An officer shot and killed a 17-year-old North African boy at a traffic stop. A prosecutor has determined the need for an investigation for voluntary homicide. It was the third killing this year during a police traffic stop, after a record 13 deaths last year. Most of the victims have been black or Arab. A study by an independent French human rights watchdog found that Blacks and Arabs in France were 20x more likely to be stopped by Police. Amnesty International has been critical of French Police’s ethnic profiling and discrimination records. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? Protests kicked off 3 days ago and continue to get worse. 40,000 law enforcement personnel were deployed in response to the unrest with hundreds of arrests and counting. Fears are mounting of a repeat of the 2005 riots, also sparked by the death of African boys during a Police chase, which saw mayhem in the country and thousands arrested. While most of France agree violent protests are never ok, some are using this as an opportunity to attack migrants and religious minorities, blaming them for the violence and claiming these riots are a result of lenient immigration laws. MY THOUGHTS: First, this hits close to home. I’ve spent a LOT of time in France and speak the language fluently. France is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but they have their flaws, and we’re seeing one of them unravel yet again. We all agree the boy should not have been shot by the officer. We also agree that violent protests are NOT the answer. BUT, the problem goes deeper than this. Studies have shown systemic racism within the French police, despite denial by President Macron and France's Foreign Ministry. So, if there IS systemic issues, aren’t protests one way to force needed change? Yes and no. Protests serve an important piece of our democracy, one that should be cherished. They pressure authorities and Government officials to act. Unfortunately though, there will ALWAYS be bad actors in any protest, and these bad actors sometimes turn a peaceful protest in to a riot. When that happens, when a protest is dominated by rioters, a line is crossed. Do you agree with my take? WHEN does a protest CROSS THE LINE?

@tkonto @cohen_yohana74 What about the concrete slab above the panel with the old fluorescent tube? Got to be a test rig.

A Quiz : 1. Which airplane? 2. On Ground or in Air? 3. What's Wrong?

@loftwah YES alongside with chess...

Should programming be taught in schools from an early age, like mathematics or science?

@scottiebateman Personally, as a passenger I have a small B5 sized bag, keeping inside travel documents, bank cards, cash, even the hard disk with my valuable data and the mini iPad. In case of evacuation I have nothing to think off. I just slide down...

What the actual…!! How much time would have been wasted for this lady to get all of this out ? Did it place others in mortal danger ? I really despair at the utter selfishness of individuals like this. When the aircraft is on fire…GET OUT LEAVE EVERYTHING. 😐

Computer scientists first learned to appreciate randomness by using Pierre de Fermat’s “little theorem:” For any two integers 𝑁 and 𝑥, if 𝑁 is a prime number, then 𝑥ᴺ − 𝑥 is always a multiple of 𝑁, regardless of the value of 𝑥. quantamagazine.org/how-randomness…

The connection between information theory and life has led biologists to develop information-theoretic approaches to searches for alien life. For @SciAm, Caleb Scharf (@caleb_a_scharf) explains why we should look in the universe’s “computational zones.” scientificamerican.com/article/to-fin…

@scottiebateman The area is well signed. I guess the liability lies with physics and natural selection...

Why would you stand this close. If it picks up one little stone, that’ll kill you traveling at 100 MPH. I’m not sure where the liability lies but someone needs to take responsibility before somebody dies. Idiots will continue to do this otherwise.

Support FreeCad developers or no tears when you have to rent all your CAD software by the month and beg to export it file by file from some corporate cloud. Proprietary CAD is by far the most serious failure point in digital fabrication and OSH.

During the #EUreferendum, the @Daily_Express claimed if we didn't do #Brexit, 12 million Turks planned to move here when Turkey joined the #EU. A month later, the paper admitted the story was false. My report on Facebook: bit.ly/42OvlZZ LinkedIn: bit.ly/3pgwJqo
