https://restofworld.org sounds like what you're looking for - its mission is basically to report tech news from the non-West. Some good reads to get a taste of what they do (note: often fairly long): https://rest

If you want to get far away from software, I'd recommend mathematics (as code is built on logic, the same thing math is), law (the first barrier to entering law school is the LSAT, which is basically a logical reasoning test, which say

I hope this doesn't bankrupt the Internet Archive (either the legal fees or the case - I don't recall what they're asking for). It would be bad if the Wayback Machine, the biggest internet archivist around, went under, and al

I was picturing it as a sort of 'Here's a new paper' feed, but obviously if you're getting 5.2 notifications per minute even the interesting stuff will get drowned out. Am I envisioning this wrong?

But the law of finance is, in theory anyway, designed to do two things: 1) Punish bad actors after the fact, and, more importantly: 2) Make being evil less of a rational option, and so dissuade people and organizations from breaking the law

It's odd how many people pay attention to a few big crises -- Ukraine, Gaza, etc -- when there are many other crises which are, by most measures, more important. For instance, current major crises are ongoing in (per Wikipedia) the DRC

Oh, ok, I didn't realize that the data included the year. Never mind, I don't know the US age distribution well enough to have any idea of how plausible it is; I withdraw my comment.

Really? That's odd. The typical zip code has a population of about ~9000. Dates of birth are about evenly distributed, so you'd still get about 24 people/birthday, or around 12 men or women per birthday per zip code.. I might

I don't even consider ads, generally. I use an adblocker, UBO Lite, and the ones that aren't caught in the filter are just sort of ignored. I don't trust myself to be able to manage deciding on if a product is worth investiga

1. I wonder how much of the reason people seem to like shorter chapters is because shorter-chapter books tend to have quicker pacing. Would there be some way of controlling for pacing? 2. The title is a bit misleading. I went in assuming it
