You are at your cognitive peak in the early afternoon.

This big study of cognitive tests found people do best when completing tests at 1:30 PM as opposed to morning or late afternoon. Effects are fairly small, but significant & larger for younger folks. https://t.co/NxExSRezvk

A barrier to replication: scientists have bad coding practice.

74% of R files included with papers & replication datasets failed to execute, but about a third of those could be fixed with simple code changes. Physicists were the worst offenders. https://t.co/Bjy0jAeufR

Кстати, есть устойчивый миф, что во время Большого террора 1937-1938 годов в СССР было репрессировано 15 или даже 30 тысяч сотрудников НКВД, — это не так, существенно меньше: «всего» около 4 тысяч, из которых было расстреляно примерно 1500-2000 человек.

One of the most illuminating management texts may be this WWII guide to sabotage for civilians from the CIA's precursor.

Look at the ideas for sabotaging office tasks to cause demoralization & delay. Recognize any? I wrote about how to solve these issues: https://t.co/XyJqPySrzY

The best way to ensure good code is to have a good organization.

This paper from Microsoft looking at 50M lines of code found that organizational factors were far more powerful in explaining the number of bugs than any technical aspect of the project. https://t.co/4Sxwuug6N5

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

The 2022 #NobelPeacePrize laureate and human rights organisation Memorial, @MemorialMoscow, was established in 1987 by human rights activists in the former Soviet Union who wanted to ensure that the victims of the communist regime’s oppression would never be forgotten.

Relevant again; We have a tendency to simplify complex problems so that we can understand them & then we solve the simplified version.

This can backfire for wicked problems: those that are complex, uncertain & hard to evaluate. Review this list of reductive tendencies to help!

Фото карты, составлявшей часть советско-германского Договора о дружбе и границе от 28 сентября 1939 года. Тонкой черной линией обозначена граница раздела Польши между Германией и СССР. Утверждено личными подписями Сталина и Риббентропа.

Грузия открыла границу для прохода пешком убегающих от призыва на войну.

Очень круто. Время пойдёт, а память о том, что в тяжёлый момент просто всех спасающихся пропускали навсегда останется.

Спасибо Грузия! 🇬🇪

Estonia welcomes dirty Russian money of Putin's mafia. But they prevent entry of people who don't want to kill Ukrainians and who oppose Putin's regime.

53 years ago today #Apollo11 inspired a generation that we could do great things. Despite the myriad of challenges we face today, I truly believe we still have the capacity to solve them.

On this night, 104 years ago, Nicholas II, the last tsar of #Russia, his wife, his five children and four loyal retainers were led into the basement of the Ipatiev house in Ekaterinburg. There they were all murdered in cold blood by Bolshevik killers.

Следующая (и последняя) битва Путина.
Очень длинный тред о том, в чем, на мой взгляд, сейчас заключается стратегия Путина, и какую последнюю ставку он делает для того, чтобы сломить сопротивление Украины.

8 years since a Russian Buk missile launcher sent to Ukraine shot down MH17, killing 298 people on board. Along with Russian troops, equipment,artillery strikes and intelligence Russia fuelled a conflict that the world turned a blind eye to, leading to this year's invasion

A nice way of “rephrasing” projected population growth figures into a catchy map. Lovely piece by @PratapVardhan
