Human traffickers often post photos of their victims in hotel rooms. This app is asking people to take photos of their hotel rooms, so analysts can determine where the photos were taken. spectrum.ieee.org/traffickcam-...

a lot of education is still based on the assumption that there is an objective frame of reference that contains all the right answers and all you need to do is gain access to it and repeat what it tells you

Guess what % of plastics have been #recycled? No prizes :(
A Sankey diagram shows how a total of the 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic ever produced by humanity has ended up either being totally discarded, incinerated or still in use. 31% are still in use. The remainder have been dumped or burnt.

Do I know anyone on here who might be able to get me a digital image of a page (or a few) of a manuscript in the Library of Ahmed III (in Istanbul)? The library doesn’t appear to have digitized much (or any) of the collection?

Hey! I’m CEO of a company that has just raised $10 billion for an app that takes the hard work out of enjoying music. Did you know, some people waste hours each day listening to “tunes”. Our AI will listen to it for you and summarise it in a 15 second scream leaving you more time to add value.

This made us think
A diagram plots human experience of space & time in the physical world. It shows a rectangular area between two axis. One is time, the other space. Both range from very small to very large. Inside of that area is a much smaller rectangle. It is about 1/16 of the size and labelled “Human Experience"

I feel like stuff like this is too often overlooked in discussions around technology-based mitigations of climate change. If we use tech innovations to make it easy and convenient for people to use the “greener” alternative that already exists, they’ll use it.
