I was surprised so I did the computation just to resolve the disk of Betelgeuse at 550 nm, and I found a telescope of 2.8 m, that's definitely already doable. We already have 8 m in one piece and 10 m segmented, JWST is 6.5 m segmented. The ELT is planned to be 39 m for 2028. So this star is closer and bigger than I thought.

And these are the images we have from one of the top imaging instrument SPHERE on the VLT in 2019. It's precise enough to show the change of shape due to its variable star type.

It would be the size of the telescope's diffraction artifacts probably. Meaning the shape you see on the picture is not related to the size of the star but only to the physical limits of the optical instrument. This diffraction pattern is proportional to the color your looking at and inversely proportional to the size of the telescope primary mirror. The bigger the telescope primary mirror, the smaller the diffraction pattern and the more chance you have that this artifact will not completely hide the object you are looking at. I didn't do the math, but I guess to image the actual disk of Betelgeuse, the size of the telescope you need is probably still science fiction, even with interferometry.

La Légion d'honneur récompense tout un tas de personnes qui ne sont exposées ni politiquement ni médiatiquement. Par exemple, beaucoup de fonctionnaires en poste de direction la reçoivent "simplement" pour années de services. C'est environ 2000 par an pour un maximum de 125 000 membres vivants.

Je comprends l'argument que les USA avait peut-être déjà des simulations performantes. Je suppose qu'ils ne partageaient pas forcément les informations pour préserver leur avance technologique et que la France tenait à son indépendance stratégique.

Do you realize you are also spreading “right-wing ideas,” such as “we should not mock them, it would be very mean”?

Do they? You're the first one I read mentioning that.

I'm worried that by using their tactics you contribute to popularizing their ways.

Non, on savait déjà faire des simulations précises de l’efficacité de nos armes nucléaires.

Je ne trouve pas où cela est confirmé dans le rapport. Ils disent que le programme de simulation a été lancé en 1995, puis tous les programmes mentionnés sont post 2005.
Ayant étudié la physique et travaillant dans l'informatique, j'ai des doutes que des simulations informatiques dans les années 90 aient pu produire beaucoup de résultats pertinents.

En outre, en science en général, on essaye toujours de comparer le résultat du modèle informatique qui est inévitablement une simplification de la théorie, avec des observations de la réalité pour s'assurer que la théorie ou le modèle ne créé pas des résultats imaginaires.
Donc d'un point de vue purement recherche physique, ça semble raisonnable de nécessiter des expériences réelles pour encadrer les simulations informatiques.
En considérant l'impact environnemental, je ne dis pas que ça vallait le coup.

C'est d'ailleurs une des raisons principales du développement du Laser Mégajoule par le CEA en ce moment, c'est une expérience qui permet de continuer à observer la physique de haute énergie sans faire exploser de bombe nucléaire. En espérant que ça aura des retomber scientifiques sur d'autres domaines utiles à la société, comme la recherche en physique nucléaire en a déjà beaucoup.

Points clefs

  • Près de 83 millions comptes courants sont comptabilisés en 2023, pour un encours de 660 milliards d’euros (Banque de France)
  • Changer de compte courant ne fait pas “désinvestir des énergies fossiles”. Il est impossible d’associer spécifiquement des émissions de GES à un euro que vous avez dans votre compte courant
  • L’empreinte carbone individuelle de votre compte courant, ça n’existe pas. Prétendre le contraire, c’est vous donner une mauvaise information et l’illusion du contrôle
  • Changer les règles du jeu des banques est nécessaire et doit être le principal objectif

Also added some Japanese Delaware grapes for additional fruitiness. It's never fruity enough.

Lemon cheesecake goes great, that's a keeper.

The buckwheat crust remained soft, despite quite a long pre-baking. Some people like soft crust, but I like mine crumbly, I will go back to wheat.

Saudi Arabia is home to nearly 4 million domestic workers, including 1.2 million women and 2.7 million men from Africa and Asia who play an essential role in enabling the country's economic development and supporting family life. Yet, the experiences of Kenyan women outlined in this report illustrate how many of these workers endure gruelling, abusive and discriminatory working conditions, often amounting to forced labour and human trafficking.

Abusive recruiters sold the women interviewed for this report a dream before plunging them into an isolated, segregated reality of severe abuses being perpetrated in private households. They exploited the pressures shaping the lives of women and restricting their choices – soaring unemployment, few opportunities at home in Kenya and children to feed and educate. Once in Saudi Arabia they routinely withstood working days of 16 hours and more, with little rest and often not a single day off for months or even years. Some could never leave the house, and many were almost entirely cut off from the outside world. In their workplace, which was also their home, there was no escape from verbal abuse, demeaning treatment, racism, discrimination and extreme exploitation. In many cases, they were physically or sexually assaulted. Some were raped by their male employers and their sons. Many endured delayed or non- payment of their meagre wages. Almost all had their passports confiscated on arrival, making it virtually impossible for them to flee abusive employers, none of whom were held to account.

Anon is a better than average journalist, crossed multiple opinions and sources before writing their clickbait article.

slowly divert my work to different people in the company

So you've been promoted to a management position.
