@IEEESpectrum @IEEEorg This is no a joke anymore, and never was, spreading propaganda is equal to being accomplice in war. How does it feel to help killing people, @BotJunkie @Porslap? Sadly, many people still don't know what kind of organization @IEEEorg is. Please, help to spread!

IEEE Spectrum editors apparently fell for Russian propaganda

IEEE Spectrum has recently published an opinion piece (https://spectrum.ieee.org/stories-of-the-war-in-ukraine-roman) on the Russia-Ukraine war, sharing perspectives from the Russian IEEE member, Roman L. Gorbunov. The official reason for publishing the piece is “to promote discussion and for the insights they reveal about the plurality of views among IEEE members”. While it is generally appropriate to promote discussion and share different views in a research magazine, there are several issues with publishing the aforementioned opinion piece, which we detail below. Specifically, IEEE Spectrum knowingly published misinformation and Russian propaganda. Please, consider signing this letter if you support that: – IEEE Spectrum should acknowledge that they have unwittingly published a piece furthering misinformation and Russian propaganda. – IEEE Spectrum should revise the piece by adding critical missing context throughout the piece (see details below). – IEEE Spectrum should initiate a broader conversation on misinformation/disinformation and propaganda; if the editors wish to really make a difference, they should immediately announce a special issue on the topic of how to detect and mitigate misinformation and fake media. See the full letter here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wYSgs0QhRl74ry3xku7eIhoHOnPcQEra/view?usp=sharing This effort has been initiated by Dr. Olena Chubach and Dr. Anna Rohrbach (https://www.facebook.com/672178696/posts/10158742177133697/?app=fbl)

What people think is data science: SQL, R, and Python.

But actual data science is using the scientific method to identify problems, design an experiment, and test a hypothesis.

Trying to take short-cuts, answering questions with "yes" or "no", can damage the quality of our work

Are you sure you are okay @IEEESpectrum ?

"I believe the Russian warriors do everything they can in order to avoid harming civilians. /.../ A Russian soldier or captain would rather sacrifice himself than take an innocent life."

I don't use thermo cups often, but nowadays it is handy, when you spend most of your time in the basement because of Russian bombs. This one in particular brings lots of memories. Hope to see my friends from soon.
