The software completes the analysis automatically, without human intervention. To perform their analysis, the researchers used a data set of 86.6 million comments by 6.5 million users to more than 200,000 news videos from CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and One America News Network (OANN). The goal was to find different English words that are used in the same context by people speaking different news languages.įor instance, a conservative might say “Democrats are the greatest threat to America today,” while liberals might say “Republicans are the greatest threat to America today.” Democrats and Republicans are used in the same context, making them misaligned pairs and an indication of political polarization. The idea behind the new research was to use the same method to analyze the polarization of social media, says Ashiqur KhudaBukhsh, a project scientist in the School of Computer Science’s Language Technologies Institute. “Hello” in English and “hola” in Spanish are identical greetings and, thus, appear in the same context in different languages. Modern machine translation methods determine the meaning of a word based in large part on context-the other words that it usually appears closest to in texts.

Plug-ins that create Google Chrome Helper processes are neither extensions nor standard plug-ins, and they want more system access. Next to 'Enable the high efficiency mode feature in the settings', change the Default setting to Enabled, then restart Chrome.

How to Disable Chrome Helper the Short Way How does Chrome Helper end up using too much memory The answer isn’t limited to just one instance, but the likelihood is that you will see multiple instances of Chrome Helper running at one time. The result of all of this is that you can end up with each Chrome plugin having its own Chrome Helper process as well as every installed extension having its own.

US competition and intrigues also played a role. Soon, the economies also stagnated and failed to keep pace with Western ones, the lack of creativity and innovation due to autocracy being a key reason. Despite raising living standards hugely, the highly autocratic systems stifled freedom and dreams of egalitarianism and led to dissent. The rest got replaced largely peacefully, with the change in USSR starting a domino effect in most of the rest, though some, as in Cambodia, had fallen earlier. Of these, only half are still in power: in China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, North Korea and Nepal. My focus is on 12 communist revolutionary parties in Albania, USSR, Yugoslavia, Mongolia, China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, North Korea, Nicaragua, Cambodia and Nepal. This excludes the French and Iranian revolutions that lacked such a party Ethiopian and Salvadoran ones where army coups proclaimed revolutions or East European parties where Soviet occupation gave communism. My focus here is on revolutions led by revolutionary parties with egalitarian agendas. In many, old-order armies also collapsed. In China and Russia, communism replaced capitalism economically and one-party rule replaced autocracy politically. I see them as non-elite movements, usually armed, that topple an autocratic state and change the political and/or economic systems hugely. Many toppled autocratic regimes but failed to establish fair and successful states.īut one must first define them. Even historically, revolutions gave mixed results. The revolutionary beats of bands let the yuppie middle-class soldiers of capitalism act like brave revolutionaries in charged weekend concerts, only to go back meekly and happily to their elite capitalist masters’ embrace come Monday. The idea of revolutions today has become a fad, with elite teenagers clueless about Che Guevara’s ideology while fashionably donning T-shirts with his likeness.
