أمر النائب العام، المستشار حمادة الصاوي، باستبدال الحبس الاحتياطي لآية، المعروفة باسم منة عبدالعزيز، الشهيرة بـ”فتاة تيك توك”، وإيداعها أحد مراكز مشروع وزارة التضامن الاجتماعي الخاصة بـ”استضافة وحماية المرأة المُعَنَّفة”.

وقالت النيابة العامة، في بيان، إن المُتهمة واسمها الحقيقي آية، قبلت استبدال الحبس بالبقاء في مركز الحماية باعتباره موطنًا وسكنًا لها، نتيجة لعدم وجود محل إقامة ثابت لديها.

🔗 German study showed compulsory mask use lowered daily COVID-19 rate by 40%

-

We use the synthetic control method to analyze the effect of face masks on the spread of Covid-19 in Germany. Our identification approach exploits regional variation in the point in time when face masks became compulsory. Depending on the region we analyse, we find that face masks reduced the cumulative number of registered Covid-19 cases between 2.3% and 13% over a period of 10 days after they became compulsory. Assessing the credibility of the various estimates, we conclude that face masks reduce the daily growth rate of reported infections by around 40%. <<<

🔗 Filesystems should drop the desktop metaphor and enable tags

-

In my opinion, we need to get rid of the desktop metaphor. The powerful computer sitting on my desk currently does not offer as advanced interface possibilities than any web page on the Internet. What a shame.

The basic idea should be that the representation of information is only defined by the context of the retrieval process and not the context or a location when storing it.

Tagging in combination with advanced retrieval methods such as TagTrees is one example of many. Fast desktop search with high usability is another one. Provide and use as many retrieval options as possible. The journey has just begun. In my opinion, we are still in the stone-age of IT. There is more to come.

I kept skipping chapters to see if he had anything else to say, but if he did I missed it. He does have a lot of interesting metaphors that he uses to explain things, at least. Like if …
