European postal services suspend shipment of packages to US over tariffs
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — The end of an exemption on tariff duties for low-value packages coming into the United States is causing multiple international postal services to pause shipping as they await more clarity on the rule.
The exemption, known as the “ de minimis” exemption, allows packages worth less than $800 to come into the U.S. duty free. A total of 1.36 billion packages were sent in 2024 under this exemption, for goods worth $64.6 billion, according to data from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Agency.
It is set to expire on Friday. On Saturday, postal services around Europe announced that they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid confusion over new import duties.

Common wind, il titolo inglese originale che riprende un sonetto del poeta William Wordsworth dedicato al rivoluzionario Toussaint Louverture, è anche il titolo della tesi di dottorato di Scott, considerata “la tesi di laurea in scienze umane e sociali in lingua inglese più letta, ricercata e discussa del XX secolo”. Copie pirata di quella tesi sono circolate tra gli storici come un “mixtape underground” per più di trent’anni attraversando due generazioni di accademici e contribuendo a definire l’emergente campo della Storia dell’Atlantico. La ricerca innovativa di Scott troverà il giusto riconoscimento solo molti anni dopo quando sarà pubblicata in forma di libro dall'editore anglo-americano Verso nel 2018 ricevendo infine tutta l'attenzione che meritava.

Vous avez l'impression que l’État dépense beaucoup pour l'éducation nationale et que pourtant les conditions d'enseignement se dégradent?
Voilà la réponse : le gouvernement surévalue le budget de l'éducation nationale de 10%.
L'économiste Julien Grenetle a démontré que le budget est artificiellement gonfle par la prise en compte des cotisations retraites payées par les fonctionnaires de 74% du salaire brut (contre 17% dans le privé)
La dépense par élève dans le premier degré, est en fait inférieure de 19 % aux autres pays de l'OCDE.
Au final, la France dépense bien peu pour ses élèves.

Chinese bridge collapse kills at least 12 construction workers
The collapse of an under-construction railway bridge over a major river in China has killed at least 12 workers and left four others missing, state media reports said.
Aerial photos from the official Xinhua News Agency show a large section missing from the bridge’s curved aquamarine arch. A bent section of the bridge deck hangs downward into the Yellow River below.

Digg's new app is basic, but a great start
Digg’s new app is basic, but a great start
Digg has launched its new mobile apps for iOS and Android. I tried the new iOS app out, and it’s bare-bones but promising.Jay Peters (The Verge)
I’m a Digg groundbreaker, just because I wanted to see what the hubbub was about.
It’s definitely not a Reddit rip off, in fact Lemmy is closer to a “Reddit ripoff” than dig.
That said it is definitely being auto moderated by AI and they’re absolutely using AI all over the place but saying it’s “human at the core and tech at the edges”
If you’re on Digg it’s possible to be in regular contact with the devs and they kind of dance around how much AI agents are being used.
That said the AI tldr is actually really cool only because of how horribly it butchers some articles and you get to read wild stuff like JD Vance shooting Trump in the face for peeing the bed because the AI read the ads also.

There's amazing acting and production, and a lot of interesting story elements in both shows, but I don't want to dwell on that level of anger and hate.
