This is just 2.5 years after the same thing happened in Greece, killing 57:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempi_train_crash

  "The disaster occurred after years of multiple warnings from the train drivers' official union, while the current government was passing legislation that would make drivers' ability to strike or take industrial action for safety concerns unlawful."

  "Three weeks before the crash, the rail workers' union had raised concerns over problems with the administration of the rail network which could put the passengers in danger."

No not exactly an "accident".

I wrote a program to count the number of times a word appears on a grid, for those semi-fraudulent tv competitions: https://gmargari.github.io/serres/

Really nice game, congrats! Just a small note: I just tried and swapped two identical letters, effectively yielding my turn. Not sure if this allowed by design.

Yes, I stopped reading the news, and for some time I felt "bad" about it -until I read this article: http://www.raptitude.com/2016/12/five-things-you-notice-when...

I second that.

Just for the record: "996 was deemed illegal by China's Supreme People's Court on the 27th of August 2021" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system

Thanks, I did a quick hack to find my Google contacts in leak file, so I can inform them: https://gist.github.com/gmargari/95976c58d2ef0c05cc1f03fc023...

Would you mind elaborating on how you "scrubbed" information from your fb account? It's been years since I closed my account but I know (e.g. see this article) this is not enough, so I consider reenabling it only to delete all my info, and then finally (?) deleting it.

For future reference, this might be useful: https://donorbox.org

I would suggest the Clean Code/Coder/Architecture series of Robert Martin.

"The platform holder joins Coca-Cola, Honda, Unilever, Ford, Starbucks and Microsoft".

It’s hurt some of our marketing strategies, because they won’t be able to use Facebook advertising to promote their campaigns. It’s not an easy decision. It’s not going to kill Viber, but it hurts"

I get your point but it doesn't sound so "free" to me.

Thanks for the link abyssin, indeed seems very interesting. Btw, I tried accessing my profile from Wayback Machine and got a nice "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine". Really Couchsurfing?

Also, I forgot to mention that the message you get when you login to couchsurfing.com is a landing page that says: "Due to the impact of Covid-19, we need your immediate help to keep Couchsurfing alive" and then the only options you have are: 1. Pay with Credit Card 2. Pay with PayPal 3. Logout (https://imgur.com/g7QKHEt)

Their site totally looks like ransomware.

So sad to see this aggressive shift. I have made many good friends from Couchsurfing, and I was paying the annually fee both to support the site and to be "Verified by CouchSurfing". Even though on March they received my annually payment, today after reading this article I tried to login to CS after some months, only to find out I had to pay _again_ to even access my profile. I could not see my photos, references, messages, nothing.

I'm really disappointed and sad, and I guess I'm also switching to BeWelcome.

We study fifteen months of human mobility data for one and a half million individuals and find that human mobility traces are highly unique. In fact, in a dataset where the location of an individual is specified hourly, and with a spatial resolution equal to that given by the carrier's antennas, four spatio-temporal points are enough to uniquely identify 95% of the individuals.
