V březnu jsem poprvé naběhal sto kilometrů měsíčně. Moc mě to chytlo, zejména díky třem věcem. První z nich jsou sportovní hodinky, mám rád data a motivují mě hýbat se pravidelně. Druhá věc je hudba, dlouho jsem se jí vyhýbal, bál jsem se, že mě bude odvádět od soustředění na běh, což se neděje. A třetí je běhání pomalu, v druhé tepové zóně, kde docela v pohodě uběhnu 10 km, aniž bych se pak cítil vyřízený. Těším se na sezónu! Venek je radost.
Mám to podobně. Od pořízení hodinek loni v létě jsem si zlepšil VO2max o 4 body. Včera jsem po 11 letech uběhl víc než 10 km. Snažím se tempo držet pod 6 minut na km, což při takové vzdálenosti a kopcích znamená, že jsem vyřízený, ale už jsem překonal bariéru, za kterou už je pomalejší běh pohodička. Jdu si zaběhnout 6 km v tempu 6:30/km a ono už je to takové protáhnutí. Člověk má energii dívat se po krajině... Už to není jako dřív, kdy jsem od prvního km počítal metry do konce. 😅
Conservative candidate Lourence Singh for the New Westminster-Burnaby-Maillardville riding is no longer running in the federal election race, marking the third candidate exit in a single day.
A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile, email account, and phone number removed by his employer Indiana University, and had his homes raided by the FBI. No one knows why.
The American Association of University Professors is reminding Indiana University's provost that as a tenured professor, XiaoFeng Wang is entitled to due process. The university, meanwhile, is maintaining radio silence, which isn't a good look to prospective students considering attending.
Here's the latest on XiaoFeng Wang, the distinguished computer scientist who was summarily fired on Friday from his tenured position at Indiana University, where he had spent 20 years racking up accolades for his research in cryptography, privacy and cybersecurity. It comes from Alexander Tanford, president of the Bloomington chapter of the AAUP, the organization representing IU professors, and colleagues of Wang's.
In February, an anonymous person filed a complaint alleging research misconduct against Wang. "The charge seemed trivial -- that he had failed to properly disclose who was principal investigator on a grant application and had not fully listed all his co-authors on an article," Tanford told me.
On March 13 or 14, IU temporarily suspended Wang, banned him from his office and denied access to his computer, research and data while the investigation continued. This is permitted under IU's research misconduct policy. The reasons, though, aren't publicly known.
On March 28, Provost Rahul Shrivastav informed Wang he was being terminated immediately. Shrivastav provided no reason (he mentioned Wang taking a job at a university in Singapore, but this is permitted and not grounds for dismissal). What's more, policy ACA-52, approved by the IU Board of Trustees, prohibits summarily firing a tenured professor.
Also on March 28, homes that Wang owns in Bloomington and Carmel, Indiana, were raided by the FBI. The FBI says the raids were court approved, but so far no one has seen a warrant. The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana will neither confirm nor deny an investigation.
Indiana University has steadfastly refused to provide any reason for the termination or its failure to follow its own policy. Students and fellow faculty remain in the dark. His PhD students are frantically scrambling to find new advisors. One such student learned of Wang's firing only a few weeks before his PhD defense.
I reached out to Wang's attorneys 24 hours ago, and still haven't heard back.
We really need answers here. IU is tarnishing its reputation for academic independence. The lack of transparency here, both by IU and the FBI, truly sucks.
#RationalWiki is facing imminent legal peril from 5 separate defamation lawsuits from 5 #eugenics supporters. At least 2 of the lawsuits appear to be frivolous on their face. The 5 litigants are known to have acted in concert to take advantage of the weak #SLAPP protections within our state of incorporation and to bankrupt us. We need both monetary donations and legal representation (we are already aware of both the ACLU and the #EFF).

NEW: CTV has cancelled an election fact-checking segment on their morning show in response to political pressure from the Conservative Party.
Sebastian Skamski, a senior campaign official for Mr #Poilievre denounced CTV News, saying their guest was lying directly to viewers & suggested that CTV News is working to help elect Liberals.
Despite Mr Skamski offering no evidence to support his claims, the network folded & cancelled the segment.
The Miyazaki Maelstrom: OpenAI’s Ghibli Craze Signals a Troubling Future for Hollywood "...Miyazaki’s creations reflect a bespoke, unique aesthetic, arrived at from thousands of hours of human labor and good old-fashioned dreaming..." "...At the heart of the Ghibli craze is something good — people’s desire to connect to a fiercely loved artist, the images a testament to the depth and scope of Miyazaki’s influence. But at the root is also something very fraught, a willingness to see all art as both interchangeable and purchase-able. The frantic rush to turn our memories into a personalized Miyazaki greeting card is, through one lens, a testament to our love for the artist, but it is even more pointedly a testament to our love for ourselves, and seemingly no copyright concern nor sanctity-of-art instinct can stop us from fulfilling it...." hollywoodreporter.com/business…

Wow, Cory Booker talking for 21 hours on the senate floor straight is still blowing my mind. Talk about courage, removing the headphone jack to me pales in comparison as the willpower and physical strength required to carry a speech forward for that long with only minimal breaks for questions and prayer service.

Senator Cory Booker, D-N.J., is speaking and planning to hold the Senate floor for as long as he can. "I rise with the intention of getting in some good trouble.
We hear you: sometimes you need a little more oomph to finish your fix. So, we engineered the world’s first hammer designed for electronics repair. It's built with a non-conductive handle, ESD-safe head, and just enough heft to "persuade" stubborn components.
Wow, Cory's amazing! I also learned that Ted Cruz spokefor 21 hours against Obamacare. What kind of person do you have to be to do that? . Cory Booker's anti-Trump speech on the Senate floor has lasted 19 hours and counting - NPR apple.news/As-ewC0oCQA6_Bf8g7R…
The New Jersey Democrat has been criticizing the Trump administration's policies on immigration, education, the economy and more since 7 p.m. Monday. Here's what to know about his marathon speech.
Strom Thurmond spoke for just over 24 hours in 1957. It was about civil rights. I do not know which side he was on, as I haven't looked, and I wasn't even an itch in my dad's ballsack.

Hmm...so Kristi Noem asked Claudia Sheinbaum for Mexico to share its biometric data with the US. Sheinbaum declined, stating that such data does not exist.
Meanwhile, Sheinbaum sends to Congress a proposal to create a biometric database in the name of helping find the disappeared. The database would absorb all public and private data collection - from healthcare to education to cell phones to religious institutions to banks to the post office.
La presidenta reaccionó a las declaraciones de Noem, quien desveló este lunes que en la reunión del viernes le pidió reforzar la frontera con Guatemala y compartir datos biométricos de migrantes y viajeros con las autoridades estadounidenses.

The bird is out of the bag! We're introducing Thunderbird Pro (you already know Appointment!), a set of productivity AND privacy boosting services. And that includes...*drum roll*...an email service we're calling Thundermail. Find all the info in this excellent article:
"Thundermail" will be part of a suite of Thunderbird Pro services, as the team behind the venerable Mozilla email client begins building a complete ecosystem.
@simpolomeowastaken That's talking about Assist, one of the totally optional Thunderbird Pro products. For starters, it will summarize your email and inboxes, with more features to be added. It uses LLama 3.2 which will run on NVIDIA confidential compute infrastructure and eventually locally on your machine. It won't use your email for training, and as an add-on, it will only be in the core Thunderbird client if you want it to be. We'll have.a blog post out soon with more about Thunderbird Pro!
@perksofbeingben That's a good question! I've gone ahead and passed it on to Ryan, and we'll try and get to it in our upcoming blog. As for calendar and contacts for Android, we don't have a timeline for those features at this point. Quick filters, however, HTML Signatures, and more desktop-like folders are coming this year: github.com/orgs/thunderbird/pr…
@codewiz is this the same Mozilla that's been adding anti-privacy ad and tracking junk into Firefox, or a completely different entity which just so happens to share the name?
But, yes, it's now a separate entity called MZLA Technologies Corporation.
...and, no, it's wholly owned by the same Mozilla Foundation that's been adding anti-privacy junk features into Firefox: blog.thunderbird.net/2020/01/t…
@OctaviaConAmore It's not too clear whether donations to the new MZLA entity are earmarked exclusively for #Thunderbird development, or can be harvested by the parent organization to fund other projects.
I'd want to know because recently I've been donating to Thunderbird and I wouldn't like my donations to be redirected to #Firefox, given its current leadership and direction.
@codewiz All of the donations to MZLA go to Thunderbird! You can see how we put your donations to use in our yearly updates - here is the update for 2024: blog.thunderbird.net/2024/10/t…
Given Mozilla's history with service offerings lately, I think I'd have to see this not being EoS'd for the next 12 months at least before I'd consider it. And I'd have to have a better understanding of how Mozilla's interest in AI training/datamining is reflected in this service. This was actually one of Google's original purposes with Gmail.
@slyborg These are understandable concerns, and we'll have a blog out soon that will hopefully answer them (which we'll share here). But AI training/datamining is not on the table as part of any of the products that make up Thunderbird Pro.
thinking about this post and about how this could be me because my hearing is sometimes not great and I have a terrible habit of nodding and smiling instead of asking people to repeat themselves 🙃
Takhle vypadá root v robotickém vysavači. Motivace je nepustit ho do cloudu a nechat všechna data včetně záběrů z kamery a data z lidaru uvnitř. Zatím pecka.

@thunderbird I see a bunch of replies to @killyourfm and the official @thunderbird posts around this asking if this is an 4/1 joke. There is an official waitlist sign-up here: thundermail.com/
@rootcz to tu (zatím) nesdílí, tak to nasdílím já. Kdo ještě neodešel od #Windows, tak tohle je dost zásadní důvod, proč to udělat. Abyste se dostali do vlastního počítače, musíte se ověřovat někde v tramtárii. A když si #Microsoft usmyslí, tak vám ten účet zablokuje.
Jo, i dřív byl tlak na to, aby se místo lokálního účtu použil ten microsoftí. Ale postupně ubývají možnosti, jak zůstat u lokálního účtu. Mimochodem, i s lokálním účtem a s vypnutím všech volitelných šmírovátek se do Redmondu pořád odesílá docela dost informací.
