Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Three Reasons Early Detection Interventions Are Not Obviously Cost-Effective, published by Conrad K. on April 24, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary For pandemics that aren't 'stealth' pandemics (particularly globally catastrophic pandemics): Reason 1: Not All 'Detections' Are Made Equal: there can be significant variation in the level of information and certainty provided by different detection modalities (e.g. wastewater surveillance vs. syndromic surveillance), and the efficacy of early detection is heavily dependent on the ability to quickly trigger an epidemiological response. Thus, the nature of the detection signal is probably an important factor affecting the time required to confirm an outbreak and take action. There should probably be a greater prioritisation of plans for public health response to different types and levels of detection signals. Reason 2: 'Early' Might Not Be 'Early' (or Cheap) Enough: for highly transmissible pathogens, early detection systems may only provide a lead time on the order of days to weeks compared to "naive detection" from symptomatic spread, and the costs to achieve high confidence of detection can be prohibitively expensive (on the order of billions). Improving cost-effectiveness likely requires carefully targeting surveillance to high-risk populations and locations. Methodological uncertainties make it difficult to have high levels of confidence about how valuable early detection interventions are for a range of pathogen characteristics, particularly for GCBR-level threats. Reason 3: Response Strategies Matter, A Lot: the cost-effectiveness of early detection is highly dependent on the feasibility and efficacy of post-detection containment measures. Factors like public compliance, strength of the detection signal, degree of pathogen spread, and contingencies around misinformation can significantly impact the success of interventions. The response strategy must be robust to uncertainty around the pathogen characteristics in the early stages of a pandemic. More work is needed to ensure readiness plans can effectively leverage early detections. Background I want to start this post by making two points. Firstly, I think it is worth flagging a few wins and progress in pathogen-agnostic early detection since I began thinking about this topic roughly nine months ago: The publication of 'Threat Net: A Metagenomic Surveillance Network for Biothreat Detection and Early Warning' by Sharma et al., 2024. The publication of 'Towards ubiquitous metagenomic sequencing: a technology roadmap' by Whiteford et al., 2024. The publication of 'A New Paradigm for Threat Agnostic Biodetection: Biological Intelligence (BIOINT)' by Knight and Sureka, 2024. The publication of the preprint, 'Quantitatively assessing early detection strategies for mitigating COVID-19 and future pandemics' by Liu et al., 2023. The Nucleic Acid Observatory continued its work, publishing several notebooks, resources, white papers, reports, and preprints and even creating a tool for simulating approaches to early detection using metagenomics. The UK government published its biological security strategy in June 2023, which included goals such as the establishment of a National Biosurveillance Network and the expansion of wastewater surveillance. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced actions the department will take following National Security Memorandum 15, signed by President Biden, including accelerating advanced detection technologies. The Armed Forces Health Surveillance Division's Global Emerging Infections Surveillance branch hosted its first Next-Generation Sequencing Summit. Various funding opportunities for improving diagnostic technology were announced, including: The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering'...

This episode marks the beginning of our series, 'Hidden Heritage: The Brulé Chronicles'. The podcast celebrates the unique heritage of a man who was adopted at birth and removed from the Native American reservation system. Our host reveals his remarkable story, from his upbringing in Minnesota to discovering hidden adoption papers after the loss of his adoptive parents and eventually being reunited with his Lakota biological family. Alongside this personal journey, we also delve into the origin and inspiration of Brulé, which has left many curious about our host's role in this world. Unveiling his self-proclaimed title as a 'Tunesmith', he shares a glimpse into the humble, yet fulfilling life that merges music and poetry, and its influence on every step of his journey. This series also resurrects the nostalgically rich music project 'Towards the Sun', symbolizing a story that remained untold for 38 years. Born from a collaboration between our host and fellow musician Jerry, the album remains a testament to their companionship and shared aim to fuse the analog and the digital world of music through their cutting-edge MIDI studio, existing during the inspiring era of Minneapolis' music scene represented by legendary names like Prince and Yanni. As the Brulé Chronicles unfold, listeners are taken on a cosmic journey inspired by the mystical Greek goddess Eos, culminating in the exploration of a solar eclipse planned for 2024. Bringing the journey full circle, our host reflects on the lessons embedded in each track of 'Towards the Sun', taking listeners along the path of ancient civilizations' fascination and reverence for the sun. Join us on this illuminating journey that combines personal history, ancient mythology, and the soul-stirring power of music. Unearth a Hidden Heritage in the stirring first episode of the Brule Chronicles.

In episode two of 'Towards the RCP', we discuss why we have launched 'The Communist' newspaper, how we can use it as a tool to build the Party, and how we can pave the way for a weekly Communist paper. ✊ Join the campaign to build a Revolutionary Communist Party: https://communist.red/join

CENTR, the association of European country code top-level domain registries (ccTLDs), yesterday hosted an event on access and cybersecurity, where speakers discussed the role of the internet infrastructure actors such as ccTLDs registries in online security, stability, and resilience. Entitled 'Access & Cybersecurity: streamlining end-users' experience in accessing a safe and secure European domain space', the event brought together speakers and audience members from EU institutions, stakeholders in the internet space, and CENTR's membership. The discussion revolved around how to strike the balance between the cybersecurity of infrastructure and user safety online, while maintaining an easy access to the space. The discussion explored the role country-code top-level domains play in this and how industry and policymakers can continue to work together to address these issues going forward. Pearse O'Donohue, Director for the Future Networks Directorate of DG CONNECT at the European Commission, said, "At the European Commission we are fervently committed to the multistakeholder model, and continued discussion with trusted experts from the industry and the wider DNS community is crucial in order for policy makers to create legislation that is implementable and proportionate. We must work together to make sure that those who are acting in bad faith don't undercut those who are playing by the rules". Peter Vergote, Legal & Corporate Affairs Manager at .be registry DNS Belgium said, "The success of ccTLDs lies in the trust of our users. By aligning at European level we can provide users with a secure online space that has minimal abuse and maximum safety. We must focus on the sustainable growth of our industry and help users identify and avoid less reliable players". Kristian Ørmen, Vice President Registry Services of .se registry Internetstiftelsen, added, "We have an important educational responsibility as a community and as authorities. By increasing the awareness of citizens, users, law enforcement, policy makers, and the internet community as a whole, we can ensure greater safety online for everyone". The first of its kind for CENTR, the event took place as a complementary discussion to CENTR's 70th Legal and Regulatory workshop of 7th February, which gathers CENTR members from across Europe to share insights on compliance and implementation of cybercrime-related legislation. It launches a series of events which will delve into CENTR's principles 'Towards a Stronger Internet: Principles for the Next Digital Decade', the association's proposed framework for safeguarding Europe's digital future in the decade ahead. Polina Malaja, Policy Director at CENTR, noted, "We are delighted to have been able to host this event on the occasion of our members gathering in Brussels for our Legal and Regulatory workshop. This was a unique opportunity to discuss the intricacies of how the internet infrastructure and EU institutions can work together to protect users online, while maintaining reliable access to secure and safe domain space in Europe.

Tom Boyd was just eighteen years old when he was named the number one AFL draft pick of 2013. After briefly playing for Greater Western Sydney he moved back to Melbourne to join the Western Bulldogs. The teenager's contract was worth a record-breaking $7 million. Tom Boyd was instrumental in the Bulldogs premiership of 2016, the team's first in 62 years. Three years later, at 23 years old, Tom made the decision to retire from footy, shocking fans, commentators and everyone who had predicted a long and glittering career. In this conversation Jamila Rizvi & Tom Boyd discuss the pressure and scrutiny that came with Tom's AFL career, including the cycle of severe insomnia, depression and anxiety, plus his insights on what the AFL can do better to help players both on and off the field.    THE WEEKEND LIST WATCH: Donna Hay Christmas – Disney+ WATCH: The Phantom of The Opera – Arts Centre Melbourne DO: Check out Black Friday & Cyber Monday sales GET: Witchery X KITX capsule collection 'Towards a Sustainable Future'   Follow The Briefing: Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast Facebook: TheBriefingNewsAUTwitter: @TheBriefingAUSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The author of a new landmark report claims Clare has been marginalised by national policy, not by geography. 'Towards an Anti-Poverty Strategy for Clare', which has just been published today, suggests that poverty is "systemic" in this county and that the banner's housing system is "chaotic". Author of the report, Dr. Conor McCabe and member of the steering group, Co-ordinatory of West Clare Family Resource Centre, Mary O'Donoghue have been speaking with Clare FM's Morning Focus.

The EU has contributed to creating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established in 2015, as part of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and takes action to implement them through its internal and external policies, as outlined in the 'Towards a Sustainable Europe by 2030' reflection paper, the European Green Deal, the European Commission's political priorities and its work programme. The Sustainable Development Goals also have a regional dimension, sometimes called 'localisation'. Achieving around 65 % of the targets is estimated to require local and regional authority participation. Numerous regions and cities, including in the EU, have expressed support for the SDGs and many have integrated them in their policy frameworks. - Original publication on the EP Think Tank website - Subscription to our RSS feed in case your have your own RSS reader - Podcast available on Deezer, iTunes, TuneIn, Stitcher, YouTubeSource: © European Union - EP

Where can we find hopeful, transformative stories in the dark times we live in? How can we read the ‘signs of the times', and act for the good? Theologians Anna Rowlands and Paula Gooder explore the roots and universality of Catholic Social Teaching, its foundations in the Gospels, and what it can teach us about working for justice, freedom and the common good when the world seems dark. Dr Anna Rowlands is the St Hilda Professor of Catholic Social Thought & Practice at Durham University, and the author of 'Towards a Politics of Communion: Catholic Social Teaching for Dark Times'. She has interests in everyday ethics and the way that academic research and teaching can engage in wider forms of public benefit and the common good.

For this episode, the crew discuss two recent articles. The first, 'The Specificity of Imperialism' by Salar Mohandesi, engages with some recent debates around whether 'imperialism' is still a relevant concept for understanding contemporary capitalism.   In the second piece, 'Towards an East Asian Solidarity from Below', South Korean militant Myungkyo Hong argues in favor of a recalibrated internationalism 'from below' and puts forward his own understanding of East Asia as both a geopolitical identity and a unique terrain of class struggle. We chat about some of the various issues these provocative articles bring up and more, enjoy!

The PowerPoint presentations from the event can be viewed here: https://www.lse.ac.uk/middle-east-centre/events/2021/kuwaits-urbanisation This Kuwait Programme event was a discussion about two research projects - 'Public Space in Kuwait: From User Behaviour to Policy-making' led by Alexandra Gomes and Asseel Al-Ragam, and 'Towards an Equitable Transport System in Kuwait' led by Adeel Muhammad. This webinar will explore how Kuwait’s urbanisation trends and car-centric development have shaped planning, urban design, and individual behaviour with consequences for public health and the environment. The webinar included two presentations. The first from Alexandra Gomes and Asseel Al-Ragam on ‘Public space in Kuwait’ looked at some of the challenges and opportunities facing Kuwait’s residential neighbourhoods and everyday use of public space. The second from Reem Alfahad on ‘Social justice, transport and accessibility’ explored transport spatial inequalities at the city scale. Alexandra Gomes is a Research Officer at LSE Cities, where she is responsible for coordinating the Centre’s socio-spatial analysis across a range of projects. Focusing on urban studies, comparative analysis, urban inequalities, public space and urban walkability. She also teaches at UCL’s The Bartlett School of Planning, where she is finishing her PhD. Asseel Al-Ragam is Associate Professor of Architecture, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, Research, and Graduate Studies and Director of the Architecture Graduate Program at Kuwait University’s College of Architecture. She is an award-winning author with published research on Kuwait’s built environment. She was a research fellow and lecturer at École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture, Paris. She works as an architecture and planning consultant and is a member of the Technical Advisory Committee at Kuwait’s Private University Council. Sharifa Alshalfan is an architect, urban researcher and educator. She is part of a team of experts developing housing and urban policy recommendations at the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences.

Reem Alfahad holds an MSc in City Design and Social Science from the London School of Economics, and a BA in Public Policy Studies from Duke University. She is most interested in the cultural and social dynamics of inclusion, particularly as they relate to urban spaces. Most recently, through the LSE Kuwait Programme, she has focused on mobility access in Kuwait and the different sociocultural dimensions that include or exclude different groups from being able to move freely. Previously, she worked with Kantar Public in London, UK, and the Cultural Secretariat of Medellin, Colombia, among others. Outside of academic research, she is working on an audio documentary series focusing on globalized gentrification. Dr Courtney Freer is an Assistant Professorial Research Fellow at the Middle East Centre. Her work focuses on the domestic politics of the Gulf states, particularly the roles played by Islamism and tribalism. Her book Rentier Islamism: The Influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Gulf Monarchies, based on her DPhil thesis at the University of Oxford and published by Oxford University Press in 2018, examines the socio-political role played by Muslim Brotherhood groups in Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE.

Research shows that multilingualism in any languages, regardless of prestige or worldwide diffusion, can provide a range of linguistic, cognitive, and social benefits at all ages. It enables communication with international partners and understanding of local cultures as well as enhancing metalinguistic awareness, focusing, seeing both sides of an argument, and flexibly adapting to changing circumstances. However, as Antonella Sorace outlines in this talk, there are still many misconceptions about multilingualism and this contributes to the lack of language skills in countries, like the UK, that rely on ‘privileged monolingualism' in English, which can undermine social cohesion and economic growth.Given what is at stake, it is important to bridge the gap between research and communities to enable informed decisions in society regarding the benefits of speaking more than one language.The British Academy, working with the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Association of School and College Leaders, the British Council and Universities UK, published 'Towards a National Languages Strategy: Education and Skills' for the education and skills component of a UK-wide national languages strategy in July 2020.Speaker: Professor Antonella Sorace FBA, Professor of Developmental Linguistics and Director of Bilingualism Matters, University of Edinburgh

Shenece Oretha takes an experimental approach to the podcast format for Somerset House Studios’ Hyper Functional, Ultra Healthy series.   The multidisciplinary artist choreographs a DJ lecture mix that explores the theme of the body, using sonic forms that range from instruments and speech, to musicians, conductors, and listeners.  Oretha journeys through improvisational musical practices, audience culture, Black literature and emotional responses, layering music, speech and sound.  Listen as Oretha composes this sonic terrain, and bear witness to sound’s ability to move us emotionally, physically and socially, connecting us even when we are apart.   ABOUT THE ARTIST Shenece Oretha is a London based artist who interrogates the emotional, physical and relational sonic material of Blackness. In sharp contrast to the stark technological hardware often present in her installations, her work builds on the mobilising effects of Black oral traditions, celebrating the exchange and participation of intimate action, testimonials and emotional responses to generate expressions of collective imagination.   She has exhibited and performed her work both nationally and internationally. Recently her work ‘ Called to Respond’ was shown at Cell project space in 2020. Her first solo exhibition, TESTING GROUNDS, curated by Taylor Le Melle, was presented with Not/Nowhere at Cafe Oto, London (2019). Group exhibitions include 'Cinders, Sinuous and Supple', curated by Deborah Joyce Holman, Lausanne Les Urbaines, Switzerland (2019); 'PRAISE N PAY IT/ PULL UP, COME INTO THE RISE', South London Gallery, London; and 'BBZBLKBK: Alternative Grad Show', Copeland (both 2018). Presentations of performance work include 'Towards a black testimony', Stroom Den Haag curated by Languid Hands (2019); Wysing Polyphonic Festival, Wysing Art Centre, Cambridge (2018);'Congregation', ICA, London, (2017).

On RN Breakfast with Hamish Macdonald Australia faces a critical challenge in the future management of our waste. New forms of waste are set to increase, including e-waste, solar PV panels, and batteries. Advanced technologies and engineering solutions have the potential to divert valuable resources from landfill. Recycling, reuse, remanufacturing and refurbishment of products can create a closed system, minimising waste. Economic benefits of a waste management industry include job creation (for every 10,000 tonnes of waste recycled, 9.2 jobs are created) and it has been estimated a recycling plant could bring up to $166 million in net gain to Victoria alone over the coming decade. This project delivers an objective, evidence-based, expert assessment of Australia’s readiness to develop a leading-edge waste and resource recovery sector based on innovation and technology by 2030, along with targeted policy and research recommendations to support this transformation. The investigation is part of a major three-year research project examining the technology readiness of Australian industry sectors. ATSE’s project is providing insights into Australia’s ability to capitalise on opportunities emerging in the digital economy. Future industries will rely on technology like artificial intelligence, robotics, augmented reality, automation, big data analytics and user interfaces, and we are asking the question: Are we ready?

This week our guest is Dr. William Paul Cockshott, a reader in the Computer Science Department of Glasgow University. Paul was trained as an economist, then as a computer scientist, and he has made contributions to the fields of image compression, 3D television, and parallel compilers. He is also known for his work in applying econophysics to classical economics, the field of economic computability, and as the co-author of the book 'Towards a new Socialism', advocating for the more efficient and democratic planning of a complex economy. In this show we discuss the origins of classical political economy, and how it was influenced by the rapid advances in the world of physics. We talk of the importance of Watt and his steam engine, the development of the theories of thermodynamics and entropy, and their importance in economy. The work of Babbage and Alan Turing also get a mention, as well as the human as universal robot. We also discuss the overwhelming empirical evidence for Marx’s Labor Theory of Value, why it is that it works, and the importance of the work of previous guest Prof. Gregory Chaitin in the modern factory. Oh yes, and some roman pottery, chinese crossbows from the Qin Dynasty, and how difficult it is to fold your clothes. Enjoy! You can find his books, talks, and research on his website here: http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~wpc/reports/index.html

Subsidies to consumer goods, including fuels and food, account for almost one third of Egypt's public spending. They have been an inefficient method of helping the poor and represent an unsustainable drain on Egypt's public finances. On this rationale, Dalibor Rohac presented his paper, 'Towards a Reform of Egyptian Subsidies - The Political Feasibility of Unconditional Cash Transfers', arguing for an immediate elimination of subsidies and their replacement with a stream of unconditional cash transfers.

It seems we are in trouble. Two recent reports – the Stern Report on the economic impact of climate change for the UK Treasury and that of International Panel on Climate Change – suggest that human activity has serious environmental consequences, such as global warming. The almost insatiable demands on natural resources by giant emerging economies like China and India are new as is that in East Europe. Yet more than two billion people still live in abject poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Their basic needs and demands must be fulfilled. Can all of this be sustained in the context of inexorable GDP growth being the exclusive measure of material fulfillment and happiness? How can we find an ethical economic response when demands are increasing, resources are declining and damage to the fabric of the ecosphere on which we all depend upon for life is becoming obvious? One way forward is suggested by the traditional Indian thought of humans being a part of nature and therefore helping to sustain it. A starting point may to be distinguish between demands and needs. While demands can be infinite and never satisfied, needs are finite and can be met within the sustainable paradigm. The important task of defining these needs raises questions of ethics. How can we address environmental, social and economic questions simultaneously? The challenge is to try and develop a set of ethical values or even a way of thinking that is broadly acceptable, practical and yet encourages us to continue our search for answers to the unknown in the universe both within and without. The Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) is one of India’s leading economic policy think tanks and Rajiv Kumar, a graduate of Oxford and Lucknow Universities has recently been advising the President of India on Globalisation, based on scenarios for Indian development which he developed with others for the World Economic Forum. In this lecture he will combine his extensive economic experience with his interest in human flourishing to explore these issues and their implications for wellbeing.

French poet Jacques Darras delivers his final Reith Lecture from his series entitled 'Beyond the Tunnel of History'. In his fifth and final Reith Lecture entitled 'Towards the Light', Jacques Darras finds a clue to our shared European future in an early cross-Channel cultural interaction: the 'School of Light'. The school was established by Irish monks in the medieval city of Laon and Jacque Darras explains that learning from the past will allow us to create a unified Europe.
