Human cost of working on the railways revealed in database - The National Archives
A new public database listing records about railway accidents is being launched at The National Archives on Thursday 5 June to coincide with Volunteers Week.

If you want to understand why O'Reilly is a supporter of this announcement, and want to ask both me and Matthew Prince about it, join our July 14 conversation on Live with Tim O'Reilly. AI has adopted colonialism as its business model: Extract resources from others and use it to enrich yourself and your customers at the expense of those whose resources you have taken, without giving much back.

Baues-Wirsching Cohomology and Svarc Genus in Small Categories
We prove that for a bifibration P between small categories, the lenght of the cup product in the kernel of the induced morphism in the Baues-Wirsching cohomology with coefficients in any natural system is a lower bound for the homotopic sectional category (also called Svarc genus). Our results extend classical Svarc type inequalties to the categorical setting and introduce a computationally efficient method via a reduced cochain complex for Baues-Wirching cohomology.

In the US, most working-class people drive. It does not follow that it is pro–working class to double down on car dependency, a debt trap and tool of surveillance and control. https://www.jalopnik.com/1902012/1000-per-month-car-loan-norms/
