This is a ultra cool #unofficial #internet #network #designed and #built in a #university in #moscow https://medium.com/@pv.safronov/moscow-s.. I always thought about building something similar for my #homeplace - perhaps as a way to " #share " #data let's say. Can't be any worse than the current crappy #network they have in place there!
Maddening #story about a #uk #university #phd #student #living in a #tent because the #royalholloway #university doesn't pay #lecturers https://www.theguardian.com/education/20.. Insanity.
I am really looking forward to #davidstarkey 's new #youtube channel after he was #cancelled after #teaching as a #university #professor in the #uk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXVaD6Qk.. #davidstarkeytalks will hopefully be the #english #history told by an #englishman - not a series of #activists who aim to #subvert it...
#us 's #georgia move to remove #university #tenure from seasoned #professors - meaning then can be #removed without #warning or #oversight https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/13/us/ge.. One of the #hackernews #comments sums up my thoughts quite well on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=288.. #academic #censorship is arguably the worst kind.
Ouch, an #investigation into the #covid #origins has been #disbanded by #columbia #university #professor because some of the #members of the investigation had direct ties to #ecohealth #alliance https://timcast.com/news/panel-of-scient.. When can we get an #unbiased #review of #covid #origins ?
Currently watching the #alphago #documentary on #youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXuK6gek.. I remember watching it #live many years ago in #university - half sleeping and half watching on a #couch in a #student house. It really was #historic moment. One day we'll get there.
Wow, #white #students at #arizona #state #university in the #us are being kicked out of " #multicultural #spaces " for being #white - more #evidence that #blm is fundamentally #racist https://timcast.com/news/arizona-state-u.. My favourite statement: "This #offends us #automatically [..]", i.e. #programming ... The lack of #awareness is incredible. Absolutely disgusting, I would not expect any #race to do this to another.
Literally #rewrite #history - a.k.a. the #truth - because it's #inconvenient ... In this case it's that in 1907 #canada , #dalhousie #university in #halifax #novascotia removed a #graduation #class #photo for being "too #white ": https://timcast.com/news/canadian-univer.. Insanity. If anything, contrasting old photos with new photos will show " #progress " - it's not holding people back.
Such a #shame - an #academic at the #university #royalholloway has #resigned due to #cancelculture https://jpehs.co.uk/why-i-left-academia/ Apparently " #white " #music #history can no longer be #taught about... Every day that goes by, this more and more looks like a #cultural #genocide ...
I remember working on a #linefollow #robot for an #undergraduate #course at #university - I essentially ended up developing some kind of very #hacked " #neuralnetwork ": https://hackaday.com/2021/09/18/line-fol.. I hadn't really learned about #pid at this point, but after some time I started to #reinvent the idea of a #pid #controller from scratch. It's really great when we can come to the same conclusions through different methods!
This is actual insanity, the #university of #edinburgh is banning the used of #alice and #bob for #cybersecurity #research because it is "too #western ": https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/09.. See my #hackernews #comment here about the true absurdity of it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=284.. Likely to be #downvoted in oblivion as per.
Awesome, #scihub is now 10 years old: https://twitter.com/ringo_ring/status/14.. I'm lucky I've never actually had to use the #service (most #articles in my subject can be found on #arxiv or via the #university #library #access ) - but I am glad the service exists. Knowledge *needs* to be shared. There must be a better way of doing this.
I actually think this move by #cambridge #university is one of the best ones - add #plaques to the #statues in order to save them from #marxist #communists https://www.lotuseaters.com/cambridge-un.. As long as the #historic statues survive this time, we have done our part in preserving #history .
That's mighty big of this person to defend the #freespeech of a #racist #critic that called them a " #housenegro ": https://www.spiked-online.com/2021/08/18.. #ayshakhanom , a former #academic at #leedsbeckett #university , was #racist towards #calvinrobinson after they challenged the #racetrust - by suggesting that #racism often comes from #woke people trying to be #politicallycorrect ... What a world we live in.

His story is pretty epic, but some #commenters have rightfully pointed out that it was a poor choice of location for holiday. That said, I hope he gets out okay - hopefully he is able to share stories about the situation out there from a #civilian 's perspective.Well shit, a young #lad from the #uk is currently stuck in #afghanistan evading the #taliban https://twitter.com/Rimmy_Downunder/stat.. Apparently he dressed as a #local before being taken to a #secret #safehouse by some #british #forces - insane.
Interesting, so #cornell #university is forcing #students to return to campus and they *must* have a #covid #vaccination - except for #religious reasons: https://covid.cornell.edu/updates/202108.. Well, #religion is an #ideology - their ideology is no more sacred than one I write on the back of a napkin. Failing to get vaccinated will see students be under #surveillance and tested two times a week, restricted from #course changes and unable to access the WiFi. What the fuck?
