Wie alte Bergwerke unser Klima schützen, darüber berichte ich heute in verschiedenen ARD Radiosendern.
In einem EU Forschungsprojekt werden 3 verschiedene Verfahren der Geothermiespeicher untersucht. Eines speichert die Abwärme der Ruhr-Universität aus Klimaanlagen, Rechenzentrum und Heizkraftwerk in 100 Metern Tiefe im Bergwerksstollen.

Over the past few days and weeks, I’ve decided to downsize my digital and tech collection. I own so many computers, laptops, smartphones, smartwatches, accessories, and so on—I can never really use it all. I bought a lot of it just to own the latest “hot stuff.”
That’s why I’ve gotten rid of most of it—either giving it away or selling it for very little. And I’ve kept only the bare essentials. Often not even the newest or best.
For example: I now only use my Peladn Mini-PC with …

The working class is the fundamental force that produces the material conditions necessary for the reproduction of society, and through our collective labor we not only create food, shelter, healthcare, education, transportation, and communication networks, but we also sustain and reproduce the conditions that allow every aspect of social life to continue functioning, so that even those who do not work, whether they are managers, bureaucrats, or capitalists, depend entirely on our labor for …

"Trump Slump": Im ersten Jahr unter Trump gingen die Besucherzahlen in den USA um 4,2 Prozent zurück. Das meldete jüngst die International Trade Administration, die zum US-Handelsministerium gehört. Es war der erste Rückgang seit dem Ende der Corona-Pandemie. Das bedeutet elf Millionen Touristen weniger als im Vorjahr und damit einen Verlust von 50 Milliarden Dollar. #Tonline

jester: Jester joke ratings (2001)
Two bipartite networks of users and jokes, extracted from the online joke recommender system Jester. A user connects to all jokes for which that user entered a rating. Edge weights give the rating score, scaled from -10 to 10. The two files differ by how many joke nodes are included, 100 or 150.
This network has 73521 nodes and 4136360 edges.

Got an email that it was 22 years ago that I started a LiveJournal. 😃 For a number of years in the 2000s, “LJ” was the main place I shared my thoughts and general posts. I did set it up as “blog . danyork . com”… and I remember many conversations there. After it was sold to a Russian media company in 2007, I started to phase out my usage. The last time I really used it was 2008.
