The preferred term is “disinformation” because, Tang says, it has a legal definition in Taiwan: “That is to say, intentional, harmful untruth, and most importantly, harmful is to the public, to the democratic system, not harmful to the image of a minister,” she says, laughing, “That’s just good journalism, right?” Tang, a software programmer who emerged from the hacker community, sat with CPJ last week in Taipei to talk about how Taiwan tries to maintain the integrity of its media and democratic system in the face of a much larger adversary – China – that severely controls its own media and has the means potentially to sow havoc in Taiwan’s open system. We’re developing a very similar system here where people online and other instant message systems, they can forward a suspicious disinformation to a bot.

When University of Maryland physicist Timothy Koeth received a mysterious heavy metal cube from a friend as a birthday gift several years ago, he instantly recognized it as one of the uranium cubes used by German scientists during World War II in their unsuccessful attempt to build a working nuclear reactor. As Heisenberg himself reported, the German scientists’ final experiment failed because the amount of uranium in the cubes was insufficient to trigger a sustained nuclear reaction. During their quest, Koeth and Hiebert uncovered a box of declassified documents about German uranium in the National Archives and discovered there were about 400 other uranium cubes from a separate reactor experiment by the Gottow group.

“I live on the East Coast, while the rest of my team lives on the West Coast – the time difference means I’m often not wrapping up work until 8:30 at night, which negatively impacts my sleeping patterns and productivity. Emma also says:

“It wouldn’t be that depressing at first but when it’s all you do and the situation did not change for a long time, it does affect mental health. I sort of develop a routine or ritual around all of the activities I knew really helped me manage my mental health from all angles, and approached it the same way I would a project at work.

The actual definition is difficult to pin down, but the WHO defines burnout by these three markers:

Interestingly enough, the actual description of burnout asks that all three of the above criteria be met. There are tactics to mitigate burnout, such as making sure you get the recognition you deserve. Your boss probably won’t like what you have to say, but the company really won’t like it if you’re on a paid medical leave because you worked until you hit burnout levels.

In 1964, following the retirement of his regular physician, 62-year-old novelist John Steinbeck was asked by his new doctor to complete a routine medical questionnaire for his records. Steinbeck did exactly that, and on reaching the last of its many pages, the Grapes of Wrath author discovered, and left blank, a small space reserved for “any other data you think may be of importance.” Instead, he wrote a letter.John Steinbeck passed away four years later.

Odysseys and Homecomings From Homer to “First Man”

nos·tal·gia, /näˈstaljə/, noun, from νόστος, homecoming, + ἄλγος, achea sentimental longing or wistful affection for a period in the pastWe usually think of nostalgia as the wish to return home. Because I’ve been bitten by Classics, I couldn’t get Homer off my brain as I watched First Man, a recent film about Neil Armstrong’s moon landing out soon on Blu-ray and hailed as Damien Chazelle’s best. First Man reminds us of all the men such words lured into losing their lives on the testing ground before Armstrong’s name was inscribed in history.

Last night, Google reported several issues with its Cloud Platform , which made several Google sites slow or inoperable. However, the Google Cloud outage also affected third-party apps and services that use Google Cloud space for hosting. But an especially annoying side effect of Google Cloud’s downtime was that Nest-branded smart home products for some users just failed to work.

The blót had been organised by the Ásatrú Association of Iceland, a pagan faith group that is currently one of the country’s fastest growing religions, having almost quadrupled its membership in a decade, albeit from a low base of 1,275 people in 2009 to 4,473 in 2018. “People in the year 950 didn’t have a lot to do, so they sat around fires telling stories,” explained Haukur Bragason, a young, well-coiffed Ásatrú priest who was attending the blót. Over meetings in cosy Reykjavik coffee shops, the group established the Ásatrú Association and the following year successfully lobbied Iceland’s government to recognise it as an official religion.
