Read his hypocrite #blablabla from Elon;
Our “algorithm” is overly complex & not fully understood internally. People will discover many silly things , but we’ll patch issues as soon as they’re found!
We’re developing a simplified approach to serve more compelling tweets, but it’s still a work in progress. That’ll also be "open source".
What he really means is volunteer work,
He hopes to earn your trust. Really????
Haha.
Consider this;
Have you considered that you probably fired the people who understood it internally Elon "not so smart" Musk!?

#Sargassum #Toxicity: Here's what you need to know
Experts predict it's likely here to stay
By Petar Denoble, MD, D.Sc., Mar 2, 2020
"If you’ve cruised the eastern #Caribbean or South #Florida recently, you probably caught a whiff of a rotten egg smell and noticed piles of floating brown seaweed hugging the shore. Far more than an eyesore, this Sargassum seaweed—and the gases it emits as it rots—has been proven to be hazardous to human health.
"Since 2011, massive Sargassum rafts have been washed up ashore along the eastern Caribbean, spoiling beaches, affecting near-coastal sea life, and causing health problems for beachgoers, boaters, and fishers. Recent satellite observations reveal an unprecedented belt of this brown macroalgae stretching from #WestAfrica to the Gulf of #Mexico—and experts predict that it’s likely there to stay. The problem has become such a menace south of the border that the Mexican Navy has been put in charge of dealing with it.
"Causes of the proliferation of #sargasso are thought to be the influx of fertilizers from the #Amazon and #Congo river basins; dust blown in from the #Sahara Desert carrying nitrogen, phosphorus, and #iron; and increased surface #temperature of the #ocean. In normal circumstances, the mass of sargasso may double in 11 days. With increasing temperatures, that growth gets boosted. The thickness of sargasso rafts gets larger, and the shores get hit by walls of sargasso mass.
"Under normal conditions, floating Sargassum is a thriving #ecosystem, providing a vital habitat and food source for many sea species—including turtles and mahi-mahi. But when it grows too thick, #dolphins and #turtles cannot break through it to the surface and often choke. And when sunlight cannot get through it to the bottom, bottom life gets damaged to the point of #extinction.
"Sargassum presents risks to human health as well. In the water, it’s harmless to humans, but the trouble begins once it lands on the beach and starts to decompose. The decomposition of beached sargasso begins 48 hours after washing up. It then releases hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas and ammonia. H2S is a broad-spectrum poison that smells of rotten eggs.
"Breathing in these toxic gases may cause respiratory, skin and #neurocognitive symptoms in people that come in close contact with degrading sargasso. In 2018, in Guadeloupe and Martinique, there were 11,000 cases of suspected #poisoning reported. Patients complained of heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, vertigo, headache, and skin rashes."

Numéro 12 (2/67)
L'Union des Jeunesses Révolutionnaires Congolaises - UJRC était un mouvement clandestin de jeunes intellectuels congolais (Léopoldville/Kinshasa), étudiants en Europe en majorité, partisans des thèses chinoises et albanaises et soutenant les maquis mulélistes et soumialistes. Fondé début 1965, il appela début 1967 à la création de noyaux marxistes-léninistes, préalable à la fondation d'un parti marxiste-léniniste, mais son existence prit fin au cours de la même année.
Review of "King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa" by Adam Hochschild
The story told here is important - one of slavery, genocide, racism, colonialism, capitalist extractivism. The manner in which it is told leaves much to be desired. It is a liberal, general audience, novelesque, non-analytic text written from a white man's gaze, and contains/lacks what one would expect from a book written from such a perspective.
The biggest drawback is one that the author himself partially acknowledges: the lack of actual Congolese voices in a history of the Congo. But the remedy is problematic as well. Instead, what we have are chapters framed almost universally around singular white men and their terrible or terrific deeds. The ten million lost souls seem muted in a text ostensibly about them and what they were subjected to. Even the few Congolese sources or actors that are present receive secondary treatment in the midst of the greater narratives of the central cast of European and U.S. characters. For a book about the Congo, the Congo often feels extremely absent.
While perhaps I am accustomed to reading academic non-fiction, I was surprised at the severe lack of analysis contained in this text. In telling the story without interrogating the story, it seemed to be actively occluding what should be obvious but dangerous questions and answers, in particular about race, slavery, Blackness, and the Human. In a recent journal article on the anti-Blackness of the discipline of history, Afro-pessimist academic David Ponton writes, "For scholars, the Human seems never to appear as an object of knowledge except when the social death of Black folks becomes so glaring that it threatens to deconstruct that category entirely. History, in turn, rallies in humanity’s defense—reconstituting the Human and the codes that constitute its content." This is what reading the book felt like - the social death of the Congolese was so threatening a topic, the author had to save the Human by focusing on all the good that various humans [read white Europeans] did regarding the Congo amid the bad. It also explains the author's frequent referencing and drawing of equivalency between the trans-Atlantic slave trade and "indigenous" slavery on the African continent, as well as his exculpation of colonialism for Africa's [writ large] current predicament.
If you're looking for a non-challenging, unthreatening read about an appalling chapter of Europe's colonization of Africa, then this book is a good choice. If you're looking for something that dives deeper to truly interrogate the construction and functioning of systems such as anti-Blackness, colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism that facilitate(d) the horrors in the Congo, I'd suggest you look elsewhere.

Today in labor History January 17, 1961: Patrice Lumumba, anti-colonial fighter and former premier of the newly independent Republic of the Congo, was assassinated with the complicity of the CIA. President Eisenhower authorized an assassination in 1960, because of Lumumba’s ties with the Soviet Union. CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb planned to kill him with a poisoned toothpaste. Gottlieb was the main scientist behind the CIA’s MKUltra program, which did illegal human mind control experiments with drugs, like LSD, without the victim’s knowledge or consent. He was also involved in numerous assassinations.

Lingala (a Bantu language of the Niger-Congo family) is spoken by approximately 10 million people living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic and Angola. It originated in the Equatorial Region of the DRC, but as the official language of the Army, it became the major language of the Capital city, Kinshasa. Lingala is considered one of the national languages of the DRC.

Things are not looking good in DR #Congo, 🇨🇩
Fierce fighting has erupted between M23 rebels and militiamen in eastern Democratic Republic of #Congo, local sources said reporting an unconfirmed number of fatalities.
This introduced me a bit to #GIS, a field in which I'm more and more working these days and that I love. It happens that there a tons of stuff that is not mapped yet, like villages in DR #Congo, for example.
It's a field where there is still room for tons of software improvements. Some features that you would think would be done by now, are actually still challenging, like getting tons of interactive shapes on a map in a browser.
UPDATE: In DR #Congo, more than 8,000 youths selected for military recruitment announced by President Tshisekedi as part of general mobilisation. The recruits will do the training at Camp Kitona in Bas-Congo.
