Je trouve ça étrange qu’il n’y ai pas eu de case ‘je ne sais pas’ dans la question sur la loi sur l’inéligibilité. Je sais qu’en tant que Français, on est culturellement obligé d’avoir un avis sur toutes les questions politiques, mais j’ose imaginer qu’il y a quand même une partie des sondés qui n’étaient pas sur non ?
Is it fully manufactured in China, or is the final assembly done in Japan/somewhere else? Because that would change the tarrif.
20 percent on goods from the European Union, 25 percent on South Korean imports.
Bit higher than expected, but not wholly unexpected either.
34 percent on Chinese goods, 32 percent on Taiwanese imports
Oof. That will tank the tech manufacturing industry. GPU card price will shoot through the roof.
46 percent on Japanese products
Holy shit! What did Japan do to deserve freaking 50% tarrifs? I knew there was some bad blood in the 80s and 90s but is it still the case now?
I hope Nintendo stocked those Switch 2s everywhere ahead of time or it’s gonna be rough.
Cet abri antiatomique, niché dans les sous-sols du palais et comportant une cage de Faraday, a accueilli en mai 2017 le premier CDSN du quinquennat Macron. “Contrairement à ce qui se pratiquait avant, il nous avait été demandé de laisser nos téléphones à l’entrée, dans une boîte, confie l’un des participants. Certains, comme Pierre de Villiers [chef d’état-major des armées, NDLR] avaient râlé, mais le vrai scandale était surtout que depuis l’affaire Snowden, nous continuions à venir en CDSN avec nos téléphones.”
P A R D O N ?! Sous Hollande et Sarkozy, tous nos conseils de défense étaient menés par des gens qui guardaient leur tels pendant les meeting classé secret défense ?! Et on parle de Snowden, mais ça veut dire que l’État Français NE SAVAIS PAS QUE LES É.-U. FAISAIENT ÇA AVANT ?!
Je rêve. Je suis pas souvant d’accord avec Macron, mais là, je dois lui reconnaitre qu’il avait plus que raison sur ce point.
De retour d’un voyage en Israël, le président avait missionné ce dernier pour bâtir le Beer Sheva français, en référence au célèbre campus cyber public-privé israélien implanté dans le désert du Néguev. La copie présentée en conseil de défense par Guillaume Poupard quelques mois plus tard, en 2019, sera étrillée par le chef de l’État qui s’emportera contre un projet “statocentré” et enjoindra au polytechnicien de se rendre à Beer Sheva. La deuxième mouture, davantage conforme aux désidératas présidentiels, sera la bonne.
Pas sur que prendre Israël de tous les pays comme modèle pour notre futur soit la meilleure des idées. Certes, ils sont compétents sur la technique, mais le management et les méthodes… on ne crée pas une marine en s’inspirant de la piratrie (à moins que ce soit pour apprendre comment les contrer, auquel cas je ne dis pas).
It’s not about ‘Google’ vs ‘the other search engines’. It’s about transparency. You’ve probably read some news about how AI crawlers have been destroying infrastrucure and half the time does NOT declare themselves as crawlers in their UA.
Can confirm that nealy 90% (read hundreds of thousands) of daily visits to several of my websites are made by crawlers from datacenters and I HATE not knowing whose who. Because when I don’t know, I block and report. Website owners already have enough between AI, Page Rankings, and Research Agencies who all exploit free infra for their own business.
Do I make exceptions for Search Engine crawlers? Yeah, I do. I’ve seen Google, Bing, and Mojeek, but weirdly enough, never Brave. Now I know why. And frankly, if they can’t be bothered to be transparent about their crawlings, then I won’t be bothered to make exceptions for them. They’re freeloading just as much as the rest. If they act like shady chinese crawlers, then they have no right to go pikachu face when they’re treated like one.
I assume the malicious part is that it phones home without permission, likely tracking users without their consent or informing them.
Makes sense. They don’t get money from ads, so they have little to loose by banning them apart from annoying some publishers, but from what we saw in the past, what will they do? Leave Steam?
Classic killing two birds with one stone: get more revenue from sales, and make customers happier.
Psh. I doubt anyone here would have blamed you for playing on emulators regardless.
Have they? I couldn’t find any information about that online. As for the rest, yeah, likely poached (or, like Mistral, not very pro-open source (◡︵◡) )
From what I understand, he was hoping for :
And that he would thus be the ‘only credible choice’ against Far Right. (Note that in the last legislative elections, he was NOT given a majority in the National assembly so that he’d have to negotiate with other parties, which he refused to do anyway, except maybe with the small trad right wing party).
Obviously, that didn’t work out. As other in the French subs have pointed out, he’s an ex-banker. He’s used to making risky bets. But now’s first time where he has to assume the consequence if he looses it.
(Here we go again)
First things first, shame on you Politico for showing outdated projection results. The actual outcome has been published now (after big cities’ votes, including Paris, have been counted) and Far Right lost 5% (they’re now polling at 29.2%), barely ahead of the Left Alliance (28%). That’s both lower than the polls (which were giving her a whoping 37%), and their result in the last presidential elections.
Edit: source: https://www.resultats-elections.interieur.gouv.fr/legislatives2024/ensemble_geographique/index.html
Secondly, seat projections, right now are highly unstable due to our two turns system. RN (Far Right) might have some allies from the trad right wing parry who was utterly destroyed, but both the NFP (Left Alliance) and Macron’s Renaissance* have said their candidates need to desist when they’re third and Far Right is first to try to cumulate their votes.
*Macron’s PM Gabriel Attal has, for the moment, said there might be exceptions to that rule for the candidates of the radical left party France Unbowed which they consider to be be ‘too extreme’ for their taste so we’ll see.
(Also, slight reminder that Politico is a property of Alex Kreuger, the German equivalent of Rupert Mudrock. Don’t expect full neutrality.)
The vote finished in the night and we got the official results now. Paris voted massively NFP and Renaissance, so Far Right is now at 29.3% while NFP is just behind them at 28.0%. Honestly? Given the polls we had, RN is lower than anyone could have hoped.

I’m kind of surprised this image of France having a Far Right issue is only becoming a thing now though. These results are close (if not better for non far right voters) than the last 2022 Presidentals, and Far Right already had a huge score in 2017.
34% is already lower than what they polled (and it will go down more as cities’ vote get counted). Though, you are right, the normalization of Far Right IS scary af. But it’s not a recent thing in France, it started nearly two decades ago, but surged to an extreme during the past few years esp with:
Bolloré (our own personal Murdock) bought more and more media, fired the journalists, and put propagandist in their place.
Macron started taking Far Right’s talking points (immigration), language (‘national preference’, which is a concept that makes no sense) and methods (just two days ago, his party made, published and propagated on social media a fake ‘NUPES’ (name of the last Left Alliance) website to calculate one’s future pension based on their ‘program’. As it turns out, the calculations were not based off their program at all and was nearly always defavorable to the person)
Macron, when asked about the surge of Far Right, had only one response: bUt WhAt aBoUt tHe LeFt? (And goes on and on to try and sell a ‘both sides’ to try and make himself more popular. Spoilers: it didn’t work) It’s also why it’s refreshingly suprirsing to not hear him bash ‘theLleft’ tonight, and instead call on everyone to vote against Far Right.
Gee, the title sure is sensationalist. Nothing has been ‘won’ yet. The actual percentage here don’t matter, the system works using two rounds in each circonscription (subdiv of France which can elect 1 MP). What really matters now is who will call to vote for who. The NFP (Left Alliance) leaders said no vote for Far Right, and Macron (in spite of how much he shat on the left) called for a ‘grand coalition against the RN’ (RN being Far Right here).
And I’ll repeat it as many times as it takes 34% IS FAR FROM 50% (The RN is unlikely to find allies, as all the traitors of the trad right wing party have already gone to them)
Edit: forgot to mention that not all votes have been counted yet, the big cities finishing up later, which will likely drive the NFP’s score up and RN’s down.
AI may have its uses, but the easy counterpoint to your argument is to look at FTX at its peak and where it is now (bankrupt). The stock exchange is the exact opposite of rational, and is terrible at estimating the use one can get out of tech.
*some. While as much as I heavily dislike this party and their positions, I don’t think they’re all just okay with fachism. There’s been a great number of high ranking officials from that party who denounced this proposal when it was announced out of nowhere on live TV yesterday.
Basically, Les Republicains (Trad-conservative right wing) is the descendant party of De Gaulle, chief of the French Free Forces and probably the most iconic french figure in WW2. This party has an history with fighting fachism, so this twist of position (which is not that surprising from the guy that proposed it) goes against the party’s tradition and heritage (ironicly).
It’s been making headwaves here, and he does NOT have the support of his party in this endeavour. If someone were to speculate, the more likely outcomes of this decision would be a party splinter or even the death of the party itself (considering that since 2017, they’ve really lost a lot of their electorate whose moderates went to Macron and extremists to Le Pen) than an alliance with Far Right.
Though honestly? There’s been so many twists in the past two days that anything’s possible at this point.
Ehh… a proper political analyst would probably add some nuance to that, but that’s a kind of how it feels (the austerity measures were like pills forced down our throats that only made us sicker). Keep in mind there are other factors in play like:
… and probably some more I forgot to add.
Last I heard about this, they did not fully commit on a singular technical solution yet. The closest I know being NGI Taler (FLOSS, created by a Swiss company, and plans a lauch in Euro this year), but it doesn’t support offline payments yet, unlike what the digital euro’s brochures say.
Hopefully this will be resolved, but I hear this is a very polarized subject since it would remove a lot of powers from the banks (by concentrating it around the ECB), and they are lobying heavily against it, and the right wing is listening.
