"As early as 1864, kids were flying "paper darts" that looked like what we call "paper airplanes" today. During the Civil War — yes, kids flew paper airplanes during the Civil War — Every Little Boy's Book gave kids instructions for making a paper dart that "makes a graceful curve in passing through the air." In 1881, as instructed in Cassell's Book of Sports and Pastimes, kids were told how to make a paper dart using "a piece of good stout paper."" https://www.vox.com/2015/4/28/8505377/paper-airplanes-history ht @temptoetiam

@freakonometrics @temptoetiam @sk76 Icarus? I know that was just a legend, but people flew gliders long before powered flight.

"Residual emissions will mean that we cannot achieve a zero-emissions goal, and we will need CDR (carbon dioxide removal) to reach a net-zero target. Historically, this has meant planting or maintaining trees, but removing CO2 from the atmosphere and storing it in the ground, the ocean or in products will be more durable." https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00953-x ht @jaztrophysicist

"le nombre d’étudiants en première année a été multiplié par plus de 3 entre 2010 et 2022, et par deux sur les 3 années de licence. Dans le même temps, le nombre d’enseignants titulaires n’a pas bougé. « On est maintenant contraints de faire des travaux dirigés en amphi avec 60 étudiants parce qu’on manque de professeurs, réprouve-t-il. Alors même que les pouvoirs publics ne cessent de dire qu’il faut former plus d’informaticiens et de spécialistes de l’IA »" https://www.lemonde.fr/campus/article/2024/05/11/des-universites-francaises-au-bord-de-l-asphyxie-ca-craque-de-partout_6232553_4401467.html
