International collaboration of Ukrainian scholars: Effects of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine International collaboration of Ukrainian scholars: Effects of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine
This study explores the effects of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on the international collaboration of Ukrainian scholars. First and foremost, Ukrainian scholars deserve respect for continuing to publish despite life-threatening conditions, mental strain, shelling and blackouts. In 2022-2023, universities gained more from international collaboration than the NASU. The percentage of internationally co-authored articles remained unchanged for the NASU, while it increased for universitie…

Harvard Divinity School broke precedent
by refusing to publish a video of its commencement speech
after a speaker went off-script to call attention to the perilous conditions in Gaza.
“There are no safe zones left in Gaza after 600 days and 77 years of genocide,” said Zehra Imam,
who graduated from the Harvard Divinity School this spring and participated in the embattled Religion and Public Life program.
Imam, who is Muslim, was speaking with two other students f…

Sonnet 102 - CII
My love is strengthened, though more weak in seeming;
I love not less, though less the show appear;
That love is merchandized, whose rich esteeming,
The owner's tongue doth publish every where.
Our love was new, and then but in the spring,
When I was wont to greet it with my lays;
As Philomel in summer's front doth sing,
And stops his pipe in growth of riper days:
Not that the summer is less pleasant now

Emission Impossible: privacy-preserving carbon emissions claims
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have a significant climate impact, and data centres account for a large proportion of the carbon emissions from ICT. To achieve sustainability goals, it is important that all parties involved in ICT supply chains can track and share accurate carbon emissions data with their customers, investors, and the authorities. However, businesses have strong incentives to make their numbers look good, whilst less so to publish their accounting methods along…

So I checked my views - and know what: RIGHT, I don't get a lot of views - but most of the #videos on #Peertube show *more* views than I got on Youtube.

Publish on Ping: A Better Way to Publish Reservations in Memory Reclamation for Concurrent Data Structures
Safe memory reclamation techniques that utilize per read reservations, such as hazard pointers, often cause significant overhead in traversals of linked concurrent data structures. This is primarily due to the need to announce a reservation, and fence to enforce appropriate ordering, before each read. In read-intensive workloads, this overhead is amplified because, even if relatively little memory reclamation actually occurs, the full overhead of reserving records is still incurred while traver…

A friend of mine (who is not a technology person) mailed me a thumb drive full of videos.
It took like a month to arrived. We were both convinced it was lost. I finally got it!
When I opened it I saw it had been "compressed" (not crushed) and I had to carefully bend the plastic back to plug it into a USB port.

If an "undercover" officer is seen and known to the press then I would not hesitate to publish their face image and identity - in part because they have failed actually be "undercover".
That said, the fact that agents can't be identified as actual Federal agents, much less identified down to the individual actor when they do ill, is simply unacceptable.
TSA at least has numbers on their "name" badges, so one can make a complaint about a person …

Decentraland is a blockchain-based social virtual world where users can publish and sell wearables to customize avatars. In it, the third-party Decentral Games (DG) allows players of its flagship game ICE Poker to earn cryptocurrency only if they possess certain wearables. Herein, we present a comprehensive study on how DG and its game influence the dynamics of wearables and in-world visits in Decentraland. To this end, we analyzed 5.9 million wearable transfers made on the Polygon blockchain (…
