Ken SchwenckeHave you had a claim denied by your health insurance company? @ProPublica made something to help you get all the records they used, phone calls they had and notes they took in denying it. Check it out: https://projects.propublica.org/claimfile/
Dan GillmorAlmost uniquely among American journalists working at major outlets, @willbunch is calling his peers on their rank cowardice in the face of the emergency our nation faces.
We may well be one election away from a dictatorship, and Big Journalism's business-as-usual approach amounts to collaboration with enemies of democracy.

Ragnar Heiðar ÞrastarsonHi #gischat let's got for a 2nd Daily #mapmaking with #QGIS
For the past 2 weeks or so we’ve had an ongoing earthquake swarm very close to the town of Grindavík in the Reykjanes Peninsula. The swarm is very likely caused by an inflating magma body currently at about 5 km depth. The shape of the body is most likely a flat sill expanding and causing earthquakes. These events might lead to an eruption very close to people’s homes and lots of infrastructure.

“Many scientists consider underestimates to be “conservative,” because they are conservative with respect to the question of when to sound an alarm or how loudly to sound it. The logic of this can be questioned, because underestimation is not conservative when viewed in terms of giving people adequate time to prepare. (Consider for example, an underestimate of an imminent hurricane, tornado, or earthquake.)”
#NLM style #AI is essentially the same kind of technology as #search , but souped up. It relates and organizes a large knowledge base, interprets queries, and provides useful and appropriate responses.
It's used for the same reasons, has the same set of potential business models, and the same pitfalls.

Prof. Tatiana IlyinaOcean oxygen: The role of the Ocean in the oxygen we breathe and the threat of deoxygenation | New report of the European Marine Board
#Deoxygenation is increasing in the coastal and open Ocean, primarily due to human-induced #globalwarming and nutrient run-off from land, and projections show that the Ocean will continue losing oxygen as global warming continues.

Ocean oxygen: The role of the Ocean in the oxygen we breathe and the threat of deoxygenation
EMB Future Science Brief No. 10 highlights the most recent science on Ocean oxygen, including causes, impacts and mitigation strategies of Ocean oxygen loss, and whether “every second breath we take comes from the Ocean”. It closes with key policy, management and research recommendations to address Ocean deoxygenation and communicate more accurately about the role of the Ocean in Earth’s oxygen.
