"The meritocracy isn’t working. We need something new." https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/12/meritocracy-college-admissions-social-economic-segregation/680392/ "America’s opportunity structure changed as well. It’s gotten harder to secure a good job if you lack a college degree, especially an elite college degree. When I started in journalism, in the 1980s, older working-class reporters still roamed the newsroom. Today, journalism is a profession reserved almost exclusively for college grads, especially elite ones."

😍 , merci @cdb_77 "Les cartes de la France et de ses régions invisibilisent le train. C'est pourtant le moyen de transport longue distance le plus important des prochaines décennies" https://cartes.app/blog/plan-sncf "Michelin est un vendeur de pneus. Qu'ils vendent des cartes routières est tout à fait logique. On ne peut pas en dire autant de l'IGN, agence publique. Qu'il s'agisse de la carte en ligne ou les fameuses cartes papier de randonnée, la voiture et les autoroutes cadrent le paysage français"

"Most researchers who have tried to engage online with ill-informed journalists or pseudoscientists will be familiar with Brandolini’s law (aka the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle): the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it. Is it really worth taking the time and effort to challenge, correct and clarify articles that claim to be about science but in most cases seem to represent a political ideology?" https://www.nature.com/articles/540171a

"Ce n’est pas toujours facile à comprendre. Lundi 25 mars 2024, Valérie Pécresse est revenue sur les tarifs qui seront pratiqués par les transports franciliens lors des Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024. Alors que le prix du ticket de métro a été fixé à 4 € (contre 2,10 € actuellement), la présidente de la région Île-de-France assure que c’est « justement pour que personne n’en achète » et éviter les « embolies aux guichets »." https://www.ouest-france.fr/jeux-olympiques/jo-2024-le-ticket-de-metro-est-fixe-4-euros-pour-que-personne-nen-achete-declare-valerie-pecresse-ddbd0eca-eb2d-11ee-a793-3d15ad53aa4e 😳

"Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find" https://www.404media.co/google-search-really-has-gotten-worse-researchers-find/ "They found that, overall, "higher-ranked pages are on average more optimized, more monetized with affiliate marketing, and they show signs of lower text quality ... we find that only a small portion of product reviews on the web uses affiliate marketing, but the majority of all search results do."

je ne cesse de voir cette publicité dans les transports en commun parisiens, et je suis assez fasciné...
