  • Polling has rules to follow to became valid in France. Their are laws that make sure the poll is fair and manipulations can’t apply, in the way questions are asked (neutral tone, full range of answer possible, etc) and where and to who, the minimal amount to have, the medium to use to receive the vote, etc…

    If you do that, you are what i call here a professional neutral poller.

    In this case, it’s not the case. How i know? Well, it’s an internet poll! So no way to really check the reality of people behind (nationality, age, etc).

    I put the officia text informing us than Internet poll can’t be used as real poll because you don’t have a representative sample of the population and result can be manipulated.


    Les enquêtes sur internet

    La commission a été saisie du problème des simulations de votes effectuées par certains journaux sur des panels d’internautes.

    Ce type d’enquête n’est pas mené auprès d’échantillons représentatifs de la population. Ils ne constituent donc pas des sondages au sens de la loi du 19 juillet 1977.

    Ces enquêtes doivent donc être accompagnées de précautions de présentation, appelant l’attention les lecteurs sur la prudence nécessaire à leur interprétation.




  • except if you compare it with windows 11.

    My Win11 was so bad (compared to Win10) than I’ve switched to ArchLinux. I’ve won around 10~20fps without doing anything particular (and also gain some better loading time as the nvme sequential access performance was much much better under linux).




  • Yes, but as soon all jumped, the aircraft dive to land and load the bext batch of skydivers.

    The plane is usually already on the ground, loading, before the previous batch touch ground.

    BUT the plane must dive far from the skydivers obviously. Was probably not the case here. More you go fast to land, better is the profit (quick rotation = more people = profit)

    Edit: whoua, just read the french articles about this. The pilot didnt had a valid license at the time of the accident. He was not fit (in term of health) to fly any plane that day…


  • Comparing LA with Paris and saying is easier in Paris is quite a statement!

    • LA have large roads, grid configuration and a relative recent age: 250 years. And lot of people around.

    • Paris have 2000+ years of history with layers of people coming around too, no grid configuration but roads created for pedestrian and horses, with some of them existing since thousand of years. And we have a big river in the middle (la Seine), unstable basement with many caves making the creation of any subway a living hell. And on top a lot of historical buildings are protected making demolition for new road impossible.

    But despite that, we have good transportation alternatives on top of classic and totally full car roads: trains, subway, bus, cycle. Not perfect, lot of improvements still needed but things change, step by step… And people has been relocated multiple time to allow that. But it easier when the costs are payed by our global taxes and some LONG term plan. we have also the concept of public interest project to relocate people and businesses if they are in a place useful for a future transportation plan.

    In LA, i don’t see the change really empowered at the political level, at town level. With large road like yours with no hard turn, you could put so many alternatives transportation:

    • rail track for tram or automatic train
    • dedicated bus line
    • bike protected line with tree separation in the middle and free ticket to encourage the use of public transportation.

    Does LA mayor / administrators promote this kind of alternatives? Because it’s what all big towns in France are pushing since decade’s already.
