Here are some things that I hated as a student. At the time, I thought my teachers didn’t understand or care how terrible they were.

Pour les 50 ans du Congrès de la Conférence des présidents d’université (désormais France universités), M. Emmanuel Macron a déclenché un émoi national en fustigeant un « enseignement supérie…

Writing policy and process guidelines is hard. You work for weeks collecting everyone’s feedback, tweaking the wording to avoid all kinds of anti-patterns, and then still you have to watch people use…

In late 1993, a reinforced Swedish-Danish-Norwegian mechanized battalion (Nordbat 2) deployed to Bosnia as part of an ongoing UN peacekeeping mission ;The battalion was under Swedish command, and with the exception of a Danish tank company and a Norwegian helicopter detachment, was comprise

After some years of accelerating IPv6 deployment, we are now into a period of slower growth and it's not clear where we are heading. It is therefore interesting to try to predict the future of IPv6 over the coming years. At Ericsson Research, we have been working on this topic since 2013, but just recently created a forecast model that seems to be quite accurate. However, it gives a disappointing message of a very low final level of IPv6 deployment at less than 30%!

... If our model is correct, IPv6 will not replace IPv4 - or even be the dominant network protocol - in the foreseeable future!

AutoWarp is a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Azure Automation Service that allows unauthorized access to other customer accounts using the service.

Words mean things.

So what is the substrate of Western thought?
...
Westerners, he says, prefer to understand things as mechanisms, while the Chinese prefer to understand things as organisms — and these are two very different kinds of processes.

We tend to judge the likelihood and significance of things based on how easily they come to mind. The more “available” a piece of information is to us, the more important it seems. The result is that we give greater weight to information we learned recently because a news article you read last night comes to mind easier than a science class you took years ago. It’s too much work to try to comb through every piece of information that might be in our heads.

The standard view of neural signaling is that a neuron can influence its target cell by exciting or inhibiting it. An important aspect of the standard view is that learning consists of changing the efficacy of synapses, either strengthening (long-term potentiation) or weakening (long-term depression) them. In studying how cerebellar Purkinje cells change their responsiveness to a stimulus during learning of conditioned responses, we have found that these cells can learn the temporal relationship between two paired stimuli. The cells learn to respond at a particular time that reflects the time between the stimuli. This finding radically changes current views of both neural signaling and learning.

The question I am asking is whether, looking at ourselves from outside, we should come to view our attachment to rights...
