@Newspace14@ShangguanJiewen@drantbradley Sorry but I don't get the point you're making, is eliminating poverty not a good thing? Also what does it have to do with pride? Isn't it basic humanity to want less people suffering?
@Newspace14@ShangguanJiewen@drantbradley If you know how to look at graphs you'll know it is an achievement exactly because china was able to reduce the number of people that have less than that to basically almost 0 in 38 years, that's like in just a generation
Johari Abdul Ghani, Trade Minister, owns about a 33% stake in Media Prima. His son is a Chief Innovation Officer. MP controls NST, Sinar Harian and Berita Harian.
This is not unique. The rich own the papers, influencing what is reported.
There are no donor transparency laws.
Did you know Britain had its own "Vietnam"? On this day in 1948, the Malayan War of National Liberation ignited โ Marxist guerrillas against British colonial rule.
They burned villages.
They beheaded the dead.
Then they set fire to the evidence. ๐งต
Watching the world lose its mind over the Knicks and the World Cup while Palestine is being destroyed and genocided in real time honestly infuriates me.
And before anyone says โsports bring people together,โ I know. That's exactly the point. We clearly know how to care. We clearly know how to show up. We clearly know how to unite when we want to. So why is it easier for millions of people to memorize stats, argue over games, and spend hours watching a match than it is to speak up when human beings are being genocided in plain sight?
This feels like the Hunger Games, wallah. The privileged get to sit comfortably, drink a coke, eat a hotdog, cheer, celebrate, and move on, while other people in Palestine, Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen, Congo, Iran and more are searching for food, living in tents that flood, and fighting for their peoples liberation.
In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.
Do you know how much PROPAGANDA it takes to convince a whole country of people that their military exists solely to keep them safe, and not to keep people around the world under their rule by destroying their homes and infrastructure while stealing their resources?
Malaysia wants to become a regional hub for AI & data centres. A data centre can use up to 25.5 million tonnes of water annually. This amount can support 300,000 people every single day.
Nothing can replace our freshwater ecosystems once they are destroyed & drained.
Israel just bombed a building that Palestinian journalist Bisan owda was in
Sheโs okay and reporting on it. She said itโs the closest sheโs ever been to a bombing.
it is so heartbreaking how the deaths of palestinians are painted as an inevitability because israel targets journalists. we also hear less & less about it. because israel targets journalists.
keep talking about the genocide in palestine, fuck israel
@dykeseyah not to mention said slavery and gen0cide is involved in the resource extraction that builds the infrastructure for those technologies, it's not exactly unrelated
Yes. That's how real recognition gets stolen, masqueraded as a compliment. Sci-Hub is SO BIG, SO BIG that you obviously couldn't do it yourself.
HATE. The very fact it is being masked as compliment makes it even more terrible.
I hear this argument being repeated again and again. This argument about Sci-Hub being BIG is absolute nonsense. Let's consider it:
Just how big Sci-Hub is?
Sci-Hub is, basically a piece of computer code that I wrote in PHP back in 2011. The code itself was not that large - some great computer games that were created by single authors in the time of MS-DOS are much longer.
The code itself was tiny, but it was universal: it worked on many research papers - millions of them, making them free. You can compare Sci-Hub code to a mathematical formula in physics. Just imagine: Einstein's formula is just three letters E = mc^2 - that was enough to describe the WHOLE UNIVERSE. That global universality does not make anyone think there was any team doing Einstein's work.
Sci-Hub does not require any exceptional or very expensive technical infrastructure to run on. It was first launched on a free web hosting, then moved to a rented server, as the project grew I bought a few servers myself. Every hardware part here is commercially available and within areach for a single person even without big funding.
The mere fact that impact of Sci-Hub was big also does not in any way imply it must be a work of many people. Consider how many great works of art or literature were created by single authors. Nobody says Tolstoy's epic novel "War and Peace" must be work of many because it is big and famous.
If you consider Sci-Hub as a work of writing - and it is writing in code - then you can easily place it in context of other works of writing and see that Sci-Hub is actually very small - both in terms of how much letters were used - and in terms of how much people it reached. Some books for kids are much more popular (yet nobody says there are many authors...)
