Beschluss des CDU-Parteitags: mehr digitale Souveränität – adressiert an die eigene Bundesregierung. „Staat als Ankerkunde“, Open Source stärken, „Public Money, Public Code“, das ZenDiS ausbauen: konkrete Hebel. Wie Markus Beckedahl betont, ist die Lücke zwischen Rhetorik und Regierungshandeln das eigentliche Problem. #DigitaleSouveränität

Two temporal networks of bill co-sponsorship tendencies among US Congresspeople, from 1973 (93rd Congress) to 2016 (114th Congress). Edges are signed, indicating the presence of a significant tendency to co-sponsor, or tendency to not co-sponsor, bills. Two networks per year, one for each chamber (House, Senate). Each file contains the signed network for a chamber of congress (H = House, S = Senate) in one session (e.g. 93 = 93rd…

Welcome to the twilight of the Industrial Age. Growth is ending.

Abschied vom Radio: MausRadio ab 2027 nur noch online und in der App
Der Westdeutsche Rundfunk will sein Audioangebot für Grundschulkinder neu ausrichten. Das MausRadio, das wir bereits als werbefreie Alternative zu klassischen Kindersendern vorgestellt haben, soll ab Anfang 2027 vor allem im Internet verbreitet werden. Eine entsprechende Planung wurde dem Rundfunkrat präsentiert. Schon heute bietet das MausRadio ein 24-Stunden-Programm mit Musik, Hörspielen und Wissensformaten. Im Unterschied zu […]

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
In recent years it has been found that phytoplankton productivity can be fueled by deep-sea hydrothermal vents. These vents produce iron and dense microbial blooms which can locally stimulate algae blooms, but it wasn't clear how this linkage of ecosystems separated by kilometers was possible. Now, an Antarctic study suggests that earthquakes can cause violen…

Sverige behöver mer befolkning i arbetsför ålder som bidrar med arbetskraft och därigenom skatteintäkter. Svenskar föder få barn vilket gör att vår arbetande befolkning minskar samtidigt som vår åldrande befolkning ökar. Tidö vill ha ut människor som arbetar och bygga murar som inte släpper in fler vilket innebär att svenska arbetstagare och företagare måste försörja fler än sig själva (kallas försörjningskvoten) och prognosen visar på att vi ska försörja nästan två personer till förutom oss…

Shoutout to the Alaskans, Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders who, as the only people on earth, can say they celebrate New Year later than the west coast.
Ever since moving here, I wonder this same thing every New Year’s eve: How large of a proportion of humanity enters the new year before the west coast?
My rough math suggests around 99.4%

Happy new year, you filthy animals.

@… We heard a couple at like 3 😂 Guess those people are celebrating on Central European Time.

Much like how I don’t celebrate my son’s birthday on the day my wife and I conceived him, the Declaration of Independence was important, but it does not mark the birth of the nation.

I think, and it may be an unpopular opinion among my peers indeed, that we need to learn to actually make this into an Engineering discipline.
I *want* to develop code that one can reasonably trust to perform life sustaining functionality, much like I reasonably trust every bridge I drive over not to collapse under me.
We’re far from it, but these days, it seems we’ve actively decided to do *exactly the opposite of that*, and that I just can’t be a part of.
