What the world would lose with the demise of Twitter: Valuable eyewitness accounts and raw data on human behavior, as well as a habitat for trolls

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 5 minutos)

What do a cybersecurity researcher building a system to generate alerts for detecting security threats and vulnerabilities, a wildfire watcher who tracks the spread of forest fires, and public health professionals trying to predict enrollment in health insurance exchanges have in common?

Coupe du monde au Qatar, Shell, Danone ou Nike : les questions que soulèvent les boycotts

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 8 minutos)

Depuis quelques mois, l’idée d’un boycott de la coupe du monde au Qatar fait son chemin. En France, plusieurs maires ont récemment annoncé que leur ville ne diffusera pas l’événement sur écrans géants comme de coutume. Des personnalités diverses annoncent qu’elles ne se rendront ni ne suivront l’évènement. Chaque jour, les journalistes invitent aussi sportifs et personnalités politiques à prendre position. Et au bistrot, les passionnés discutent de se passer – ou non – du plaisir de voir de bons matchs.

A brief history of Georgia’s runoff voting – and how this year’s contest between two Black men is a sign of progress

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

In the U.S., all elections are administered by the states. But not all states use the same rules.

Georgia uses a version of runoff voting, which entails two rounds of voting. Typically, if a candidate wins more than 50% of the votes in the first round, that candidate is declared the winner. If not, the two candidates with the most first-round votes face off in a second round of voting.

Asake, the breakout pop star from Nigeria who owned 2022

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 5 minutos)

Asake’s first commercial releases, beginning with the song Lady in 2020, didn’t really portend a seismic shift in Nigeria’s teeming Afrobeats scene. The 27-year-old genre-blending Nigerian singer and rapper has a tongue-in-cheek delivery and jocular persona. He writes nonsensical, self-deprecating rhymes with hip-hop influenced consumerist themes and could easily be mistaken for a less threatening Naira Marley – a street savvy Afrobeats mainstay-wannabe.

Musk, a fellow of the prestigious Royal Society and Time’s 2021 Person of the Year, is autistic. One of the most famous people on Earth is autistic. Perhaps it is worth letting that sink in?

US midterms: five reasons why the election results matter

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 6 minutos)

As the US midterm election results roll in, it’s evident that the Republican “red wave” that many experts anticipated hasn’t materialised. Early numbers indicate that Republicans are likely to take back the House of Representatives but by slimmer numbers than expected, even as the US Senate remains a toss-up. While it might see more of a ripple than a wave, Washington still appears braced for divided government.
