The Wendelstein 7-X concept proves its efficiency
One of the most important optimisation goals underlying the Wendelstein 7-X fusion device at Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald has now been confirmed. An analysis by IPP scientists in the journal Nature shows: In the optimised magnetic field cage, the energy losses of the plasma are reduced in the desired way. Wendelstein 7-X is intended to prove that the disadvantages of earlier stellarators can be overcome and that stellarator-type devices are suitable for power plants.

It’s only February, and the November elections are already in peril.
When I think back to the days and weeks before Jan. 6, 2021, one thing that’s clear is that many of us suffered from a failure of imagination.
We knew President Trump’s lies and conspiracy mongering were dangerous,
but it’s hard to think of a single person who predicted that a MAGA mob would storm the Capitol.
Very few people anticipated the sheer scale and scope of the effort to overturn the electi…

What Is the F.B.I. doing raiding an election office in Georgia?

Bizarrely warm end of the winter, here in the Netherlands: average temperature in the last part of February (21-28/29) was more than a full degree higher than the previous record set just five years ago:
10.5°C, that's warmer than the already warmed 1991-2020 average for April!
Peak was above 17°C.

Study reveals hidden climate impact of digital industries #climate

Study reveals hidden climate impact of digital industries
Digital technologies are widely viewed as drivers of efficiency, growth, and innovation. However, their contribution to climate change is significantly greater than previously understood. A new study published in the journal Communications Sustainability shows that digital industries were responsible for about 4.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. The bulk of these emissions were not captured by existing emissions accounting standards or official climate assessments.

It’s worth noting that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, originator of the bad deductive rule in question, spent his later years falling for and vehemently defending a variety of hoaxes involving fairies and communicating with the dead:

Donald Trump followed through on his threats to sue the BBC over its editing of his remarks on Jan. 6, 2021, for a documentary.
The following can be attributed to Seth Stern, director of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF):
“If any ordinary person filed as many frivolous multibillion-dollar lawsuits as Donald Trump, they’d be sanctioned and placed on a restricted filers list.
By my count, Trump has demanded at least $65 billion in damages from media outlets i…

Trump’s BBC lawsuit is nonsense, like his others
His frivolous damages theory concedes that Trump views the presidency as a for-profit venture
