So far. Next heatwave is today and tomorrow.

Also the government is doing very little about it, most of politicians are on holidays and the chancellor has stated that he can’t change the weather.

And it’s still early in summer. Let’s hope for some rain…

This feels like political influence and personal interest have been mixed.

If the CEO’s get more, then the owner class must have even more.

It’s a sad world

I like the gesture

Elsevier? The company that makes money from public funded research? The one that does basically nothing and earns tons of money on the back of tax payers and free labor of authors, reviewers and editors.

Hopefully open access policies will bring an end to the exploitative business model of science “publisher”.

Wild take, given that Instagram is often the cause for the self-harm tendencies of teenagers.

Honestly I don’t understand why this platforms exist in their form. We know that they are responsible for the suicide of teenagers. How much worse can it get?

This private courts are a problem. They are very one sided for the benefit of mega corporations.

Kind of sad. Teens have a higher rate of suicide because of the evil algorithms of social media and we as a society do basically nothing about it. I’m readings news about it since years and absolutely nothing changes. Why are we not forbiddening it? How much worse can it get??

Thanks! How does it work? Can I influence it?

Hope she can make good decisions when sleep deprived

Every country should do this.

There is no culture of unions in IT. But there should!

I think most of these seeds are modified in a way that they don’t reproduce. This is what creates the dependency of farmers, they have a well growing plant with good harvest, but need to buy the seeds year for year.

The problem discussed in the article is that people that develop new plants are working under a high uncertainty, as big cooperations have patented a variety of plants and could make claims that some of their “inventions” have been used to develop new one or that new development look the same than their patented “development”.

I think patents were a good idea then we used to have many small companies. But in today’s economy it is overly used and slowing down innovation instead of making innovation attractive for inventors.

There were passengers on the flight. I would feel highly uncomfortable after this incident to be on another plane of Delta.

The company is still worth over 100 billions. They do something right.

Otherwise I agree with you. It’s almost hilarious to see fail after fail (as long as you are not in the plane).

Well, it fits the company. They are well known for heavily underpaying their workers (dirty cheap subcontracts), resulting in an less then good service of delivery.

Seems like a smart function. I would not feel safe in a Boeing at the moment.
