IDF.social is your home if you know:

\[
\textit{idf} = - \log \frac{n_t}{N}
\]

and... everyone else!

Dear all,

For now, I will keep the site closed for registrations; but everyone can independently invite people to join using the following link to generate an invite:

https://idf.social/invites

If you know someone who wants to join this instance, then please do give them an invite!

Consider the instance open for those who know anyone on IDF.social.

"Sense of community" and an initial seed of some 40 IR researchers should be enough to keep those spammers out of here and still grow the club!

De Nederlandse overheid onderzoekt het gebruik van een app waarmee jij inzicht zou moeten krijgen in of je in de buurt bent geweest van iemand die besmet is met het Covid-19-virus. Als de overheid al zo'n app inzet, dan moet deze voldoen aan de volgende uitgangspunten.

If airlines and banks need to be saved by tax money in tough times, why keep on pretending those are independent companies and not really government institutions? Why pay their leaders high salaries 10x more than gvt officials and why pay their owners dividend if we all own them clearly??
