Ukraine’s spy chief, Kyrylo Budanov, believes that Russia wants to win the war against Ukraine by the end of 2025 or early 2026, because it will face serious economic problems from summer 2025 onwards byteseu.com/420964/ #Ukraine #Україна

While lots of powerful changes to reduce food waste can start at home, sometimes the scale of the problem benefits from a community-wide approach.

Not good news.
$30 million to compensate 6.9 million impacted users.
But not really, because the plaintiffs' attorneys are going to be paid out of that fund. They usually get around 30%, so that reduces the amount available to compensate users to $21 million.
There are other expenses that will be paid out of the fund, but they're probably in the noise compared to attorneys' fees.
So we're talking ~$3 per person.
Is that reasonable compensation for their DNA data being compromised? Nope.

Either Yellen knows something we don't or she's gaslighting us on the state of the US economy. As major indicators start to collapse, she is still insisting on a soft landing.

#Gaza #Palestine

The Israeli army has confirmed that three captives who died in Gaza last year were actually killed by Israeli shelling. The incident happened back in December.

Israel had previously "denied any responsibility". Military officials now say they were unaware the captives were present when they launched the attack.

"From day one they lied to us, the goal has always been to undermine Hamas and maybe bring a few hostages along the way," Ron Sherman's mother said.

“#Trump has been found liable to pay damages to London singer and songwriter Eddy Grant for using his song Electric Avenue without permission.

It has taken Mr Grant, 76, more than four years to sue the Republican candidate in this year’s presidential election in the US courts, over his 2020 campaign video that used a 40-second clip of the song.”

Sun is shining, the asters are buzzing with bees, bumble bees and flys, butterfly and some other creatures that live in our garden.
Its too warm for this time of the year (19°C in middle Germany), but its like a natural meditation center ... my wife and I or we alone enjoy this part of the garden quiet often.

Wow. This is a pretty good poll for Harris, even if Iowa is probably a bridge too far.

#Trump leads #Harris by only 4 points in #Iowa, erasing a lead of 18 points over #Biden from earlier in the Spring.

Political scientists had long found that candidates who used explicit racial demagoguery paid a price for it at the polls. Hence the need for coded dog-whistles.

But after Obama's election, they found that that penalty had disappeared.

And here we are.

People who emphasize the fact that the GOP ran on white racial grievance for decades before Trump came along aren't wrong, but this is the part they miss: He changed the whole permission structure for what they could say out loud and what kind of naked bigots they could associate with in public.

Conclusion from new study of reproducible science: "Make #code sharing a mandatory requirement for publishing articles using publicly available #data. Transitioning from an ideal to a tangible reality where #reproducible research is the norm is a necessity because only #OpenScience is good science."

Great. Even more crap graduate students will have to do before they get their degrees: clean up the code they hacked together to get their thesis data.
