Riveting story from a branch of aviation gone past
Part 3 of my ongoing series about the incredible WW2 flight of the California Clipper is now up and free to read.

Imagine having to fly your aircraft on regular gasoline, which it has never used before.

Now imagine having to work out how to do that while you're flying over the vast Indian Ocean...
In 1941, Pan Am's California Clipper had to do something no commercial flight had done before: circumnavigate the world.

In Part 3 of our series looking at her journey, the crew must work out, mid-air, how to fly her on regular gasoline. Something her Wright Cyclone engines were never designed for.

E é assim, aos poucos, que criamos um futuro onde só os ricos têm direito a professores e tutores humanos, enquanto os pobres são corridos e robôs e IA. Será assim na educação, na saúde, nos lares, etc.
Como há cada vez menos professores - a profissão perdeu o seu apelo devido aos sucessivos governos que deixaram de apostar na educação - vamos lá criar um tutor IA que possa substituir os humanos. The future is so bright, we gotta wear shades.
E se cada aluno tivesse um tutor de Inteligência Artificial? Ideia foi lançada pelo Governo
A ideia do ministro Adjunto e da Reforma do Estado está longe de reunir consenso, sobretudo se pensarmos nas consequências para o desenvolvimento não só cognitivo, mas também das emoções.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

Is anyone so naive to think that Gaza up to the Yellow Line isn't going to be annexed by Israel?
The genocide continues, in slower pace

Genocide: "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part"

"[E]ntire neighbourhoods controlled by the IDF have been levelled in less than a month"

Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in Gaza since ceasefire
Entire neighbourhoods controlled by Israel have been levelled in less than a month, the images show.

Um exemplo do desequilíbrio: pretende-se tornar uma prática ilícita imune de consequências, impondo à parte mais fraca um custo financeiro, que resulta num desincentivo.

I absolutely love this story about John Buck tracking down the creator of the TIFF file format. A must-read for any tech history fan!

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

A forma como Montenegro se refere ao pré-aviso de greve mostra um Governante com gritantes tiques autoritários.

Mostra ignorância: os corpos dirigentes dos sindicatos são escolhidos por voto secreto dos seus associados.

Cortar nos direitos laborais dos portugueses é ideológico

Defender os direitos dos portugueses é ideológico

Tudo é ideologia, e quem vos diz o contrário está a enganar-vos

Chacinar a agenda para o Trabalho Digno não é neutro. É um ataque consciente e deliberado.
