This is nothing new and we have brought this on to ourselves. This is a gross invasion of privacy and the employer had no fcuking right to snoop like that on you even if they own the communication devices, laptop, cell-phone etc.. Why have we surrendered so much to these corporations.
> So far, few historians have researched the famine, making it an understudied subject of modern history.
But otherwise there seems to be plenty of information there.
It also mentions:
> In recent years, the famine has been subject to conspiracy theories, polarization and historical revisionism in Iran. The official website of Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, published an article in 2015 asserting the view that the famine was a deliberate act of genocide committed by the British, whose documents have been intentionally wiped out in a cover-up attempt.
So it's going to be full of online vitriol by competing nationalists, just like the Bengal one generates every time I've seen it brought up.
Glad you mentioned that Khamenei article by name. It came up in a search so I was reading it. It seems to be inspired by a work in 2013 that has much the same message. One book especially but three books total. Without paying for those I can't judge the claims fully.
The gist of the article is that American sources differ from British ones when it comes to the period of 1917-1919. It spends a big chunk of its length making the case that the Irish famine was an intentional genocide and a cover up by Britain. The thesis of the article seems to be that Britian did the same thing to Iran.
I can't come to a clear conclusion. The American sources aren't quoted or cited directly in the article, instead only indirectly through works that used them. At first I thought it was based off of a 2013 work but that is a 2nd edition of something originally written in 2003. I also can't tell how they increased the death count beyond an additional two million.
I agree that this article is very likely to be biased. Modern Iranian politics could have an influence. However I can't say more without further research.
Here is a quote of a Wikipedia citation of World War 1 deaths:
>Ward, Steven R. (2014). Immortal, Updated Edition: A Military History of Iran and Its Armed Forces. Georgetown University Press. p. 123. ISBN 9781626160651. "As the Great War came to its close in the fall of 1918, Iran's plight was woeful. The war had created an economic catastrophe, invading armies had ruined farmland and irrigation works, crops and livestock were stolen or destroyed, and peasants had been taken from their fields and forced to serve as laborers in the various armies. Famine killed as many as two million Iranians out of a population of little more than ten million while an influenza pandemic killed additional tens of thousands."
The core question isn't about if the famine happened, but how bad it was and how intentional it was.
Thanks. Whenever I think I want to run something on a cluster of A100s, I'll just remember the thousands of ways instead, and train my LLMs that way. There's a reason why humans didn't need computers until just recently, after all. I must be so blind to not have seen this earlier.
De facto means in fact. Given that the king does no governing no, he is not, in fact, the ruler. You may be looking for de jure, though I question even that.
The king of the UK still has to respect the Law. Being king does not mean that one can do as one pleased, or that there are no checks and balances. The last English king who tried to become an absolute ruler caused the English Civil War and was put on the chopping block by Parliament, as a matter of fact.
The people let go find similar or better jobs in startups which encourages competition. Just because they were let go from a large company does not mean, there is no demand for their skills. In fact there is a huge demand.
