Nicht vergessen: morgen beginnt der FAIR February mit einer Paneldiskussion zum Thema Nachnutzung von Forschungsdaten in digitalen Editionen. 📚👾📖
Am 18.02. folgt dann eine Sitzung (die ich mit hoste 👋) zum Thema Vernetzung (von Forschungsdaten). 🌐🪡🧵💾
Wie überschneiden sich FAIR und LOD? Und wie sieht das in Hinblick auf Forschungsdaten aus? Für mich aktuell recht relevant: BEACONs. Was ist der Status quo und was geht da noch?

Yes, they are even bragging about it.

But - besides the environmental insanity and the theft - it's doubtful it will even work out economically. I doubt they can get a return on what they'd need to invest any more. They'll need to plunder more than oil.

Node metadata include the neuron hempisphere, hemispherical homologue, cell type, annotations, and inferred cluster. Edge metadata include the type of interaction (`'aa'`,…

Indeed.

What the USA is currently doing in Venezuela looks very much like a semi-hostile takeover of one criminal organization by a more powerful one.

If there's any "rationality" it only exists in relation to the interests of shockingly small circles of power, in either country.

To people who didn’t vote for Trump, his sweaty panic over the Epstein files is perplexing.
The president’s enthusiasm for sexual violence is no secret.
It’s been nine years since the release of the “Access Hollywood” video, in which he bragged about how he liked to “grab them by” the genitals.
In 2023 and 2024, two civil juries found that journalist E. Jean Carroll told the truth when she said Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.
The president has also made …

With the holidays upon us, it's easy to default to giving the tech gifts that retailers tend to push on us this time of year:
smart speakers, video doorbells, bluetooth trackers, fitness trackers, and other connected gadgets are all very popular gifts.
But before you give one, think twice about what you're opting that person into.
One big problem with giving these sorts of gifts is that you're opting another person into a company's intrusive surveillance prac…

Yeah. It's even more sad for us living in the EU. We don't get to have a sovereign foreign policy until we have cut the dependency on the US for security, financial infra and tech platforms. Working discretely (and far too slowly) on it. Will it be better afterwards? Maybe, not sure.

Not after, *during* the ongoing pandemic. Escalating ableism is necessary to "justify" the urgency of the "normal". You wouldn't want them disabled people to hold us back from living like nothing happened, would you?

Unfortunately I don't expect much. Some calls for restraint. Maybe some polite condemnation. The more likely the further west but nothing with teeth.

We are not getting independent (of the US) foreign policies until we have taken charge of our security and of critical financial and technology infrastructure.

A languid spiral galaxy appears draped against deep space in a stunning new image from the European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope.
Euclid launched in 2023 on a six-year mission to map the cosmos at scale,
observing billions of galaxies stretching as far away as 10 billion light-years from Earth.
The effort could reveal how galaxies form and evolve and how the universe has expanded over its 13.8-billion-or-so-year history.
