Mostly oil fields which are not or improperly flaring or gaz infrastructure which are leaking. Can also be landfills where decomposition create methane but still mostly the oil industry. For “normal” emitters, you can add to that cattle farms.

I have a degree which involved reading some ML papers and I seriously doubt that. The field is flooded with papers which looks good when you quickly read them but are actually worthless because they misrepresent the state of the art or intentionally don’t compare their methods with other papers they should know.
> And even then, sometimes you don't understand or care about their procedures, and you just want to look at the pretty results
That’s fair but I wouldn’t call that reading a scientific paper.
Highly doubt that. It’s very hard to actually read scientific papers when you are not actively doing research.
You can’t just read a research paper in isolation. It’s next to useless. You need to understand its context, where it stands with regard to its sources and what it brings which is actually new and valuable. It’s nearly impossible to do properly if you are not fully immersed in a research subject.
I don’t even know how you would scheme introduction and sources to filter articles which are immediately obviously useless without being immersed in a field.
I guess you can obviously go though lists of papers which have be deemed worthwhile by someone else or got prices. That solves the filtering issue but then nearly every time you will be better served reading a text book presenting the ideas in said papers.
I fully expect the HN readership to contain a significant amount of students and actual researchers which explain why you encounter people reading papers but these people aside I would be surprised if the habit is common.
The problem is not Unicode rendering. The problem is improperly mingling information of a different nature. File extensions are not a good way to tell you if a file will be executed (Unix got that right from the start). Then executing a file involuntary shouldn’t lead to significant risks for your data and your system. That’s the actual problem which needs to be solved. Mangling text rendering is not the solution.
The solution is to stop reading daily newspapers and focus on the few remaining publications which can still afford to stay afloat while doing quality work while they last.
The gesture is unfortunate and I understand that you were shocked. I'm curious if your view of it changed with experience however?
I mean, unless you actually discover something great - which very rarely happen, is frankly exceptional and would probably lead to a paper on top of the actual thesis - a master thesis is mostly something you do for yourself. The point of doing it is what you learn durint the exercise. It's not really intended for being read outside of your jury. An advisor might keep a few good ones to give as reference to future students but that's pretty much it.
Hopefully, your advisor actually gave a shit when he was advising you. That's where he could have been valuable.
Bourdieu didn’t need to propose anything. He proved data in hand that the system was unfair. A quick look at the current situation of France should tell you all you need to know about how effective the system actually is.
But finding ideas is not that hard. We could just get our heads out of our asses and copy what’s done in a country having better results. Spoiler alert, the answer is not a system generalising the structure of military schools to whole areas of higher educations put in place by a military dictatorship to curb the emergence of dissenting elites in the university system. It still baffle me that this has to be pointed to the average French. This country really deserves what it has become.
Anyway ESG never was big in Europe and is now entirely dead. The EU mandates far better reporting in the CSRD and the texts linked to the european green taxonomy with actually meaningful KPIs and financial data having to be disclosed.
A quick look at the gap between ESG scores and EU Green taxonomy alignment results will tell you all you need to know about ESG scores by the way. They are meaningless.
I was talking about what it costs to the state. You do realise it’s heavily subsidised, don’t you?
Sure and I went to ESSEC after doing my prépa in Tours and grewing up in the countryside. Guess where did 95% of my classmates came from. The plural of anecdata, something, something…
The system is utter garbage as was pointed by Bourdieux decades ago. It’s not even cheap which could have been its sole redeeming quality. Social mobility indicators in France are even worse than in the UK, a case study of what not to do.
Ah, the typical French delusion that entrance exams make Grandes Ecoles admission somewhat fair.
The fact is that most of the students who succeed at these entrance exams and land position in the most successful of Grandes Ecoles come from the same highschools. These highschools all happen to be in Paris or Lyon and due to how the French system works, your family has to live in one of these very affluent and costly neighborhood for you to attend. Amusingly, practices which are mercilessly squashed by the administration in most highschools throughout the country like skill-based sorting of students or going at a faster pace that the official curriculum are tolerated in these few highschools. I let guessing where our elected politicians put their children as an exercise for the reader.
As usual in France, there is one rule for the plebeian and another one for the ruling class.
I started my eductation with a bachelor of maths and an engineering degree before doing a lot of economics while in business school. The field is full of interesting ideas but methodologically it mostly is garbage even you stick to the more mathematically oriented part of it. And that's economy which is supposed to be the most serious of the soft science.
Where and in which circle? Because from where I stand it seems very unusual.
Anti-capitalism is very pregnant where I live (France) with one mainstream political party embracing it and the Green supporting it covertly. It's a position which is popular amongst parts of most Green parties in Europe.
I think I’m lost here because what you are describing is exactly the meaning of mining openstreet map data. That’s the GIS database they use.
I can’t. Dostoyevski’s Russia is still very much European. It’s culturally a lot closer to what was produced in my own Western European country at the time than anything written in the USA at the same period. But the very idea of the western civilisation is dubious anyway.
It must be nice living in your. theoretical world. Here in the real world, I like libraries to actually help me do what I want to do rather than be needlessly annoying to take a stand no one actually cares about. But that’s me. Clearly it serves Musl right given the massive amount of use it’s seeing. Hmm, wait a minute…
