"One of the assumptions built into these calls is that if the tech community would just nerd harder, a solution could be somehow magically found that preserved privacy and security while letting the ‘good guys’ have access. With all respect to the valuable work that law enforcement does to protect society, it’s equally as valid to as them to just police harder." https://www.mnot.net/blog/2024/04/29/power#futurology#art#technology#cyberpunk#innovation#change#futuretech#futurism

How Indonesia’s Toba Volcano Changed Human Evolution
The massive supervolcano eruption 74,000 years ago has been blamed for nearly killing off our species. The emerging truth is much more interesting - by Gemma Tarlach April 29, 2024
"...Stone tools have been found both above and below layers of Toba ash deposited in northern India, the Arabian Peninsula, and elsewhere, showing that humans were present in those areas before and after the catastrophic eruption. They found ways to weather the actual event and any changes in climate that followed. And in March, after decades of research in a remote corner of Ethiopia, a multidisciplinary team determined that humans there survived shifts in climate likely caused by the distant eruption by changing their diet and, quite possibly, innovating a new hunting technique: archery..."

l'arbre généalogique d'Emeline a été étudié. Dans ses ancêtres apparaît le Baron Drais, inventeur de la draisienne.
Un de ses enfants a ajouté une selle alors qu'il était à Paris, d'où le nom de ParisSelle draisienne, et a déposé ce nom en Parisselle, nom qu'il a adopté à l'état-civil.
des erreurs dans les actes d'état-civil suivants ont transformé ce nom en Parizel.

Scientists have developed a new solar-powered system to convert saltwater into fresh drinking water which they say could help reduce dangerous the risk of waterborne diseases like cholera
The terrible human toll in Gaza has many causes.
A chilling investigation by +972 highlights efficiency:
An engineer: “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed.”
An AI outputs "100 targets a day". Like a factory with murder delivery:
"According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”"
"The third is “power targets,” which includes high-rises and residential towers in the heart of cities, and public buildings such as universities, banks, and government offices."
It was easier to locate the individuals in their private houses.
“We were not interested in killing operatives only when they were in a military building or engaged in a military activity. On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”
