I am looking for a political science/international relations researcher who might propose a project for a high-functioning high school student at the Institute for Computing in Research. The student has strong background in math and programming, and has expressed an interest in sci/tech-informed approaches to diplomacy and de-escalation, but any research direction would be great.

Well.. apparently he is someone who either can't spell good or uses a Smartphone which autocorrects stuff in ways which are just slightly off.
Well I just drink a full glass of Walter. Bit by bit. After that my hiccup is gone in 100% of cases.
@Redfuchs this is so true and also reminds me of this wonderful comic, which I treasure very much.
feels appropriate to post this today for this #WIPWednesday .... not done though
Während Deutschland mit massiver Aufrüstung „wehrhaft“ und „kriegstüchtig“ gemacht werden soll, wird nun auch die Forderung nach einer #Wehrpflicht für Frauen als feministisch umgedeutet. Sehe ich anders. Unser Widerspruch bei #MissyMagazine.

@noybeu verklagt Datenschutzbehörden wegen jahrelanger Untätigkeit bei illegalen „Pay or OK“-Modellen: https://noyb.eu/en/years-inactivity-pay-or-ok-cases-noyb-sues-german-dpas
„Bei Pay or OK geht es um die Frage, ob Beobachtung von Personen ein verkäufliches Gut sein kann – und ob Datenschutz als Grundrecht auf Dauer nur für Gutverdienende möglich und somit ein Luxusgut ist.
Freie Angebote ließen sich auch über kontextgebundene Werbung finanzieren. Es gäbe also Alternativen zu ‚Daten her! Oder es kostet!‘“
Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join.
Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard”
It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life.
If more people would accept that and work with us, we would all be better off.
Got asked to review a book proposal for "A Guide to Prompt Engineering".
More accurate title: "A Guide to Poking at the Environmentally Disastrous Racist Pile of Linear Algebra Trained on Stolen Data and Exploitative Labor Practices to Produce Outputs You're Too Lazy to Learn to Evaluate"
This felt too valuable not to share. Braille-labeled maps of washrooms to help people find and use facilities in the washroom. Everyone deserves to get in, do their business, wash their hands, and get out in peace and safety.
This seems valuable for all public spaces.
