Russisch lernen – Lektion 87 von 100
Sprache ist der Schlüssel – vor allem zur Völkerverständigung. Sie gehören auch zu den Menschen, die gerne Russisch lernen möchten und nicht wissen, wo Sie anfangen sollen? Sie haben das Gefühl, die russische Sprache ist viel zu kompliziert? Macht Ihnen das kyrillische Alphabet Angst, und sind Sie unsicher,



Jasný, školství je priorita
- „V zemích EU je průměrný podíl všeobecného vzdělání na celkovém počtu středoškoláků o něco vyšší než poloviční, u nás menší než třetinový.“
- „Velká část vysokoškolského studia u nás není vzděláním v původním smyslu slova, ale specializovaným odborným výcvikem. (na západě)...můžete studovat computer science dle libosti a na vysoké úrovni, ale bez několika povinně zapsaných společenskovědních předmětů absolvovat nemůžete.“

Proč je podle Vás všeobecné vzdělání na středních a vysokých školách tak důležité?
To není řečnická otázka, seriózně mne Váš názor zajímá.
Znám několik lidí, včetně sebe, kteří si střední a vysokou vybírali jednak podle svých zájmů, ale také podle toho, aby tam nebyly mnou tenkrát nenáviděné předměty, které jsem se musel s odporem našprtat.
in reply to GoodMirek

Přijde mi tragické, když na uměleckou střední školu nevezmeme studenta, co byl absolutně nejlepší v talentových zkouškách, kvůli tomu že má z povinné matematiky málo bodů. Takže místo abychom vzdělávali špičkového motivovaného umělce, budeme vzdělávat průměrného, který ale není podprůměrný v matematice.
Toto je bohužel příklad z reality.

« Génocide », le mot de trop
En marge de l’inauguration de la cité scolaire Robert-Badinter à Blois, un élève a prononcé le mot « génocide » pour évoquer les massacres à Gaza lors d’un cours en classe, en présence d’Élisabeth Badinter. Un terme qui a choqué l’épouse de l’ancien ministre, jetant un froid dans la salle.

Al-Houthi: Israeli assassination threats are nothing more than illusions to buy time en.ypagency.net/356808


Mexican Navy tall ship #Cuauhtémoc collided with #BrooklynBridge a few hours ago:
edition.cnn.com/2025/05/17/us/…

Based on videos:
nbcmiami.com/news/national-int…

…it looks like the ship went under the bridge and then hit the shoreline here:
osm.org/go/Zct8EqDG?m=&relatio…

Which means it was going *up river* when it hit the bridge.

That doesn't make sense, it was supposed to be leaving #NYC.

The videos also show it was going backwards. My guess would be loss of control?

Das Bild zeigt eine Szene, die durch ein Fenster aufgenommen wurde. Im Vordergrund ist ein dunkler Raum zu sehen, der von einem Fenster beleuchtet wird. Das Fenster ist mit Rollläden versehen, die teilweise geöffnet sind, und lässt Sonnenlicht hereinfallen. Im Hintergrund ist ein weißes Haus mit einem roten Dach zu sehen, das von der Sonne beleuchtet wird. Das Haus hat mehrere Fenster, die mit Rollläden versehen sind. Vor dem Fenster sind einige Pflanzen sichtbar, die im Schatten liegen. Die Szene wirkt ruhig und friedlich, mit einem Kontrast zwischen dem dunklen Innenraum und dem hellen Außenbereich.

L'immagine mostra un laboratorio scientifico dove un individuo indossa un abito protettivo blu e guanti blu, impegnato in un'attività di laboratorio. La persona sta maneggiando un tubetto di sangue con una cappuccio rosso, che è posizionato su un supporto metallico con altri tubetti. Sullo sfondo, si vede un contenitore giallo per rifiuti biologici, tipico di laboratori per la gestione sicura di materiali pericolosi. In primo piano, ci sono bottiglie di vetro marrone, probabilmente contenenti sostanze chimiche, e un vassoio con cappucci rossi. L'ambiente è ben organizzato e pulito, con attrezzature scientifiche che suggeriscono un'attività di ricerca o di analisi biologica.

#cybersecurity experts please comment is this just an urban legend or is it true. Web search is a spaghetti monster of differing opinion, mostly non-expert spec. The claim is roughly to the effect that Internet meme that claims that Apple’s new AI features in iOS 18—and possibly earlier versions updated to 18.1—can scan or access Signal messages and read your content unless you disable the AI. Kind of reminds me of all the virus alerts that used to flood the net as a sort of self-replicating spam. Even the National Lawyers Guild folks have weighed in with inconclusive and conflicting information. I am deep in the space of activists concerned with the matter but none of us have the #infosec expertise to really know what to believe here #encryption #AI #Apple #Signal #informationsecurity
