  • Here's a higher def version of that same picture.

  • SNCF : des trains au diesel sur des lignes TER, "c'est toxique pour la santé" alerte ce collectif de médecins
  • C'est sur que c'est con les trains qui circulent en mode diesel sur les portions de lignes électrifiées, mais j'imagine que c'est toujours moins polluant que la petite centaine de voitures individuelles que chaque rame remplace.

  • The McMansion effect: Positional externalities in U.S. suburbs
  • Highlights

    The size of very large houses dramatically increased since 1980, leading to a “McMansion effect.”

    Homeowners’ satisfaction drops with nearby McMansions, but not neighborhood satisfaction.

    In response to the “McMansion effect”, homeowners enlarge homes and incur more debt.

    Isolated McMansions or those built before move-in don’t affect satisfaction or behavior.

    Zoning laws limiting maximum house sizes could enhance welfare by reducing pressure to upscale homes.

  • Average strength of polarization by type and country
  • Yeah, in what scale is polarisation measured? How are identity or idea-based polarisation defined? Also, what's up with the awful kerning?

  • Impôts : la Banque de France plaide pour un «effort exceptionnel» de «certains gros contribuables» ou de «grosses entreprises»
  • On regrettera qu'il soit suggéré que l'effort ne soit qu'exceptionnel. Ce qu'il faut je crois, c'est une étude au cas par cas de toutes les niches fiscales et entourloupes comptables pour boucher tous les trous et que chacun paie sa juste part.

  • Interpellée sur l’A16, la députée RN Christine Engrand conduisait avec un permis invalide depuis 2009
  • Et elle se fait gauler au départ parce qu'au téléphone pendant qu'elle conduit ET le véhicule n'a pas passé le contrôle technique. Il est temps que le RN arrive au pouvoir pour appliquer sa politique zéro tolérance ! /s

  • Je suis tombé sur le 'planet score' de Bjorg l'autre jour et j'ai failli me faire avoir. Ils reprennent vraiment le code même couleur que le nutri score c'est déplorable. Et le coup du "ah mais vous pouvez scanner le code barre pour avoir les infos nutritions" c'est d'une mauvaise foi tellement évidente que je n'achèterai plus de bjorg à l'avenir.

  • What are good coop games you can play with a controller on PC ? I wanna play with my GF :3
  • Operation : Tango is a really good coop game and little known game. Besides, the asymetric nature of it means it has replay value.

    It takes two is great as well.

    Trump’s pledge to be ‘great for women and their reproductive rights’ angers advocates
  • "I'll be great with X" definitively strikes me as a well thought out policy plan ...

  • Exonerated Members of the ‘Central Park 5’ Lash Out at Trump From DNC Stage
  • I'm not sure "lash out" is the right choice of words here. If someone publicly called for your death while accusing you of a crime you didn't commit, and never even apologized when you're proven innocent, I'd say you can be rightfully extremely angry at them.

  • til - hexagons are the basis of the human visual system and the brain’s navigation system
  • This paper says nothing about the "brain's navigation system". It is focused on the distribution of cone photoreceptors in the retina, and more precisely in the fovea.

    They are indeed organized in a hexagonal mosaic as you can see in the picture, and the authors present a new method to estimate spatial distribution of said cones, showing that there are anisotropies, with the cones having a larger local spacing along the horizontal axis.

    The fovea (A) is the central-ish region of the retina, and it is packed with cones, which are specialized in color recognition. As you move to the periphery of the retina (B), another type of receptor becomes dominant : the rods. They are a lot better at sensing light but can't tell which color it is. That's why our peripheral vision is mostly shades of gray, even if your brain tries to convince you otherwise by adding the colors from context.

    Anyway, not saying this isn't an interesting topic, but it's not the best source to illustrate it.
