WHO Declares Ebola Outbreak a Global Health Emergency

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the New York Times: The World Health Organization declared on Saturday that the spread of the Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda was a global health emergency. The announcement was made a day after Africa's leading public health authority reported that an outbreak in a province in the northeast of the country was linked to dozens of suspected deaths. By Saturday, cases had also been confirmed in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, the W.H.O. said.

One European company owns Ray-Ban, Oakley, the shops that sell them and the insurer that pays for them, and the reason glasses are so expensive is not the secret 80 percent monopoly of internet legend but something quieter and much harder to break

Walk into a Sunglass Hut, try on a pair of Ray-Bans, consider the Oakleys next to them, glance at a Prada frame, and pay using your EyeMed vision insurance. That feels like four separate choices. It is closer to one. The frames, the brands, the shop and the insurer all belong to a single company, ... Read more Read more

Из одного слова целый бренд. Как развивался Колорит

Несколько дней назад я сделал маленький инструмент для себя. Надоело каждый раз начинать новый проект с колеса оттенков: крутишь Coolors, листаешь Pinterest, смотришь на чужие палитры, которые «почти подходят». А ведь у проекта уже есть образ, это слово. Рассвет. Шторм. Тёмный лес. У каждого слова есть свой цвет, который чувствуешь интуитивно. Просто никто не переводит его в HEX за тебя.Так появился Колорит: вводишь слово, ИИ собирает палитру. Я написал про... Read more

France's Heat This Week Was Worse Than a Dire Scenario Imagined For 2050

There's a deadly, record-breaking heat wave spreading east across Europe, reports the Washington Post — and it's even worse than a dire earlier forecast: The forecast was recorded in 2014 as part of a campaign coordinated by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) that invited about 60 presenters worldwide to imagine a weather report from the year 2050.

Tech Times reports: Linux 7.2's merge window closed out a cleanup campaign on Friday that most kernel developers had stopped expecting to see end: the complete removal of strncpy(), a C string-copy function that the kernel's own documentation labels "actively dangerous," from every subsystem, driver, and architecture-specific file in the kernel source tree. The merge landed June 20, 2026. After around 362 commits spread across six years of incremental work,... Read more
