Festus: as well as outright fraud, science needs to discourage sloppy science and cutting of corners #ResearchIntegrity @FEBSnews
Apologies that was Laszlo Fesus (no "t") - not to be confused with the Judean governor

“...Putin spent a year in spy school, where he became a great proponent of the use of ‘active measures’...by disseminating conflicting accounts of events to create the impression there are no reliable facts.” - House of Trump, House of Putin by @craigunger. HOW DO WE COMBAT THIS?
We must be rigorous about sourcing everything we say. And demanding that from others. But there are many things about which the public can’t have first hand knowledge, which means we have to take someone’s word. And this is where the potential for exploitation thrives. 1/
This means demanding as much transparency as possible. Because uncertainty thrives in the dark. 2/

“I Know the Salaries of Thousands of Tech Employees” by @jackiehluo link.medium.com/ve2ucnEphR // I really like this post and effort. Some thoughts on the challenges of operationalizing compensation for many people, especially over time. #transparency 1/🧵
2/ Post rightly focuses on first order, which is disparity of compensation on identifiers and systemic bias. I agree 1000% with that focus.

Operationalizing a system is hard. I wanted to highlight challenges—not excuses (!) but provide tools/motivation for gaining transparency. Excerpt from post “Today gender, race, and class…”
3/ The most frustrating thing as an employee is finding out the compensation of another employee and believing there is unfairness in the ‘system’, whether you are paid more or less, something seems broken.

a wonky thread about what it should mean for social media companies to be transparent. my last report to the @UNHumanRights Council discusses: freedex.org/a-human-rights… #transparency can be so vague as to be meaningless, so some [long] thoughts follow
let me just emphasize that i drew these principles from human rights law (& work of some great thinkers), not out of thin air. sure, that law applies to states, but companies also have responsibility not to interfere w/users' rights.
one aspect of transparency is clarity in the rules (community stds, guidelines, etc). they are broad and general, tho companies are trying to do better, it's true.

Thread on two research transparency initiatives we are launching today at the journal Cortex, where I serve as an editor. This is a big day for us, in preparation for a long time. /1
The initiatives are the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) guidelines and Badges for Open Practices /2
The TOP guidelines are a self-certification scheme in which journals declare their adherence to a series of modular standards for enabling research transparency & reproducibility. In short, TOP is about being transparent about the level of transparency the journal requires. /3

1/ So, the policy of automatic separation /appears/ to be over.

Which means that parents & kids will be held together in shadowy detention facilities that get little or no outside oversight.

I've filed bunches of FOIA requests with multiple agencies to get a glimpse inside.
2/ And remember: The Office of Refugee Resettlement at Health & Human Services is running an entirely separate system of facilities for children who show up to the border unaccompanied. (The converted Wal-Mart at Brownsville TX is the most famous example.)
3/ The ORR facilities started taking in immigrant children who were forcibly separated from their parents, but that was a recent development. The primary reason they exist is to detain minors who come to the US by themselves.

Anyway, I have FOIA requests in with ORR & HHS too.

#Important:
Yesterday late afternoon #Russia/n forces took 3 positions in Qusseyr and Juseh and established checkpoints. #Hezbollah, not informed of the Russian presence, came close to these forces and asked their immediate pull out+
Following the direct intervention of President Bashar al-Assad, the Russian force pulled out this morning and avoided any clash with #Hezbollah in the area.

hezbollah maantin and kept all positions. The #Russia/n move was not coordinated.+

#Hezbollah did not...I repeat, did not pull out one single element from the area.

I spoke to people on the ground: The Russian decision was unclear and considered unwelcome by the forces on the ground. Still, many elements of this move are unclear.
