The dark-haired one is making a phone call. She is talking to a male, respectfully, using his first name and patronymic. I'm having an exam, she says. Macro-economics.

  • untitled (20.05 15:33) On May 18, the day that marks the 65th anniversary of the 1944 deportations, a group of a few dozen Crimean Tatars spent some two hours walking around Kyiv's Lipki neighborhood, squeezing themselves, their flags with black ribbons and their banners through the cars parked on sidewalks, distributing leaflets with info on the deportations to the passerby - but getting little to no attention from mos... ]\" id=\"f_25103984\">untitled

  • untitled (16.05 01:07) By now, I do have doubts about Lutsenko's Germany scandal: way too much politics, too few facts presented.We're watching Savik Shuster's soap opera right now (of course), and I don't understand why they can't get someone from the German police and/or Lufthansa - someone who was directly involved in the incident - to talk live about it.

  • Nested dictionaries in python (15.07 21:04) Python's defaultdict is perfect for making nested dictionaries -- especially useful if you're doing any kind of work with json or nosql. It provides a dict which returns a default value when a key isn't found. Set that default value an empty dict, and you have a convenient dict of dicts: >>> from collections import defaultdict >>> foo = defaultdict(dict) >>> foo('x') {} But it breaks down wh... ]\" id=\"f_222748573\">Nested dictionaries in python
  • Internet underground (07.06 20:03) It occurred to me last night that having a name that Google can't process well might actually be entirely deliberate. On the internet, there is no real underground anymore. So if you wanted to create an underground for yourself, the first thing you might do is generate a sort of lexical darknet by using keyterms search engines can't parse. (from here, although there's not much else to click thr... ]\" id=\"f_217530123\">Internet underground
  • Clegg: it's all been said before (24.04 09:11) I despair that what it took to puff up the Lib Dems was one good TV appearance and some worship from the media. I'm frankly baffled that the most technocratic and centrist of the parties can paint themselves as outsiders. Seriously? Have you met a lib dem who wasn't a politics junkie. But I'm thrilled by the prospect of a strong LD presence in a hung parliament, leading to AV+ and then to a situat... ]\" id=\"f_209822275\">Clegg: it's all been said before
  • Orwell Prize (23.04 23:47) Good: Laurie Penny has been shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for political writing. Better: she's willing to deliver a well-placed kick to the shins of the organizers, for defending the indefensible, for remaining closed within a tiny bubble of the political elite, and generally for being symptomatic of the fuckwittery of a disconnected and introspective political elite. Nonetheless, I'm glad of ... ]\" id=\"f_209822276\">Orwell Prize
  • UK company records (22.04 21:36) Anybody still following news here because of the Panama corporate database might like to know about a new site indexing UK company records, including names of their directors. The people behind it explain: we bought the Companies House appointment snapshot and dropped it into a quick little searchable symfony app so you can browse the data - it's the directors and secretaries of every UK company... ]\" id=\"f_209822277\">UK company records
  • Kyrgyzstan: 2005 reloaded (20.04 21:26) The Kyrgyz government was overthrown last week, something I've not yet mentioned here. Partly for obvious lazy-blogger reasons, partly because I was moving house (again) at the time. Partly also because Edil Baisalov, a key figure in the interim government, is also something of a man-about-the-blogospere, and I'm not sure how to correct for the sense of him being a nice guy. Mainly, though, becau... ]\" id=\"f_209133027\">Kyrgyzstan: 2005 reloaded
  • Michael Bracewell (14.02 16:30) Radio 3's The Essay had one of its better runs last week, with Michael Bracewell talking about Germany. With only five quarter-hour episodes, he didn't have enough space to say much original about the country itself. But he did a great job of pinning down a 'fantasy of febrile decadence and alienated modernism' which attracted a certain type of arty British punks there. I was a generation too youn... ]\" id=\"f_197863272\">Michael Bracewell
  • Version Control for laws (05.01 19:48) Mike points out a very positive-sounding statement by Phil Woolas: the Government agreed to publish online, on a quarterly basis, information about ministerial meetings with outside interest groups. Information for the period 1 October to 31 December 2009 will be published by Departments as soon as the information is ready. You can imagine this playing out in all kinds of ways.

  • ...but I have no fear (04.01 19:01) The president of Pakistan tells Seymour Hersh why his army won't do anything silly with nuclear weapons: Our Army officers are not crazy, like the Taliban. They're British-trained. Why would they slip up on nuclear security? Not entirely convincing, given that every military coup in Pakistan's history has been led by a British-trained general. Worse still if you start to wonder precisely whic... ]\" id=\"f_186897622\">...but I have no fear
  • One big cop-out (26.12 00:11) So Copenhagen failed, and we're deep into the post-summit finger-pointing. Maybe we'll be able to analyze the scatter-pattern of accusations, retrace what went wrong, and fix it. More likely we'll just use the blame game as a convenient distraction from figuring out what to do next. My favourite -- both as an article, and because I agree with him -- is Joss Garman in the Independent. He's fiery a... ]\" id=\"f_185291891\">One big cop-out
