I wonder what will happen to the collaboration between American GE and French Safran that makes the CFM under Trump.

French multinational Safran is still making engines for airliners (with GE), Rafale fighters and Ariane rockets (with Airbus).

Yeah, EU will get a boost from it too.

China is clearly going to win this part, they are not adding tariffs on the rest of the world like Trump is doing, they will win market shares because of this. Trump’s policies are actually speeding up the rise of China as the first power on many points: international free trade, renewable energies and brain drain, for example.

Or with EU and Russian gas before they invaded Ukraine.

Uneducated doesn’t mean unskilled or inexperienced. If they can convince some company I guess they have some skill and that could be enough for a visa.

If you manage to convince a company to hire you and help with the visa I think it’s possible.

I work in data engineering, European cloud providers do not seem to be able to provide alternatives to managed data warehouses like Google Big Query or Snowflake.

That was the point for them, they were shitting on EU openly, stealing money from EU for the benefit of their party was how they showed their contempt for the institution. They even supported leaving the Euro zone, until they found out they couldn’t win the presidential election like this and became more nuanced on EU and refocused on immigration. Turns out French justice doesn’t forget.

Because what the US call conservative is what the EU calls far-right. EU conservatives, or traditional right, are similar to your average Democrat.

Pourquoi?

It may correlate with ethnicity, but the cases when it doesn’t are important too and it makes it a better condition. It’s also better at countering some far right arguments against help programs.

It does in general according to this government website. https://travail-emploi.gouv.fr/offre-demploi-et-embauche-les-droits-du-candidat#anchor-navigation-411

Machine translated:

The same applies to gender. No one can mention or have mentioned in a job offer the gender or family situation of the candidate sought. This prohibition applies to any form of advertising related to hiring, regardless of the nature of the proposed employment contract. The offer must therefore be written in such a way that it clearly indicates that it is addressed equally to men and women. For example, “Executive M/F” or “Employee.” For more details, one can refer to the document “Gender Equality in the Workplace.”

However, when belonging to one gender or the other meets an essential and determining professional requirement, and provided that the objective is legitimate and the requirement is proportionate, the above prohibition does not apply. Article R. 1142-1 of the Labor Code thus establishes the list of jobs and professional activities for which belonging to one gender or the other is a determining condition; this list, which is revised periodically, is as follows:

• Artists called to interpret either a female role or a male role;
• Models tasked with presenting clothing and accessories;
• Male and female models.

If you think it’s because there’s no help programs for minorities, there are, but it is usually based on the revenue of the household or the district.

The interesting part:

France has not traditionally been a place where DEI programmes have taken root because of legal limitations on the collection of racial and ethnic data. Employers are not allowed to factor people’s origins into hiring or promotion decisions.

In France, you cannot really base any official decision on the origin of someone, even just using the concept of race is considered racist and against the law. This is due to the trauma of Vichy’s regime Nazi collaboration but also the popularization of the idea that there is no scientific evidence for human races in the current human population by the famous anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss.

This kind of indirect bullying is kind of unavoidable online, because of the lack of direct contact, you don’t empathize much with the other sensitive being. Until we get that perfect education to civility that may happen in 2000 years if we still exist. Maybe one solution is to have strong rules and moderation about personal attacks. But then it’s the moderators that will get bullied for censorship and end up crucified on the power tripping bastard community.

And it was done with something no designed for this purpose. Why is it hard to conceive that a tool designed for it would do much better?

They already do it by simply dragging boat anchors across, it’s obviously going to be weaponized further. There have multiple data and power cables cut like this in the Baltic sea recently. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/30/europe/baltic-sea-cable-anchor-drag-russia-intl-latam/index.html

Wasn’t it about ranking female students by attractiveness or something?

Doubt it will keep being the case in a couple of decades given the demography of China, India and Africa once they are all developed enough to produce as much media as the USA today.
