Offener Brief an Scholz: "Klimaschutz ist keine Sache einer Partei"
Beim Klimaschutz müsse die Politik deutlich mehr tun, fordern Hunderte Vertreter aus Parteien, Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft in einem offenen Brief. Ein Mitinitiator verweist auf bereits ausgearbeitete Maßnahmen. Von B. Grasnick.

Mesmo quinta tradicionalmente sendo meu dia de folga, trabalhei hoje até a hora do almoço, mas valeu a pena. Compensei quase todo o trabalho que estava atrasado, minha taxa de rendimento pra março agora estš em 99,5%. E, melhor ainda, tenho conseguido seguir meu cronograma de a cada dia dormir e acordar um pouco mais cedo. #AgoraVai

Weil es diese Zeit des Jahres ist, #GenderPayGap, kurz vor dem 8. März, und auch, weil ich gerade häufig Job-Ausschreibungen lese:
Es ist nicht ok, nicht in die Ausschreibungen zu schreiben, wieviel dafür gezahlt wird.
Das ist eine Wurzel des Gender-Pay-Gaps. Ihr wisst, was Ihr zahlen könnt. Ihr wollt gute Leute. Ihr wollt ein diverses Team: Dann schreibt es rein.

The swifts (Mauersegler) are back. We’ve been waiting for them for some days now. Today my wife and I were talking about it and then spotted the first scouts. We love their joy, play and acrobatics in the sky. Soon there will be hundreds around. But hard to photograph because they are so fast.

Anthropozän: Eine neue Epoche wird es nicht geben, beschliessen Geologen
Der Einfluss des Menschen findet sich auf der ganzen Erde. Dennoch verweigert ein Fachgremium jetzt die Ausrufung eines Menschenzeitalters. Das hat auch damit zu tun, was Geologen unter Zeit verstehen.

Deep Reinforcement Learning for Multi-User RF Charging with Non-linear Energy Harvesters
Radio frequency (RF) wireless power transfer (WPT) is a promising technology for sustainable support of massive Internet of Things (IoT). However, RF-WPT systems are characterized by low efficiency due to channel attenuation, which can be mitigated by precoders that adjust the transmission directivity. This work considers a multi-antenna RF-WPT system with multiple non-linear energy harvesting (EH) nodes with energy demands changing over discrete time slots. This leads to the charging schedulin…

This morning, I opened a PDF to find Adobe Acrobat giving me an AI-generated summary of it. That led to a rabbit hole of finding all the places Acrobat’s AI Assistant has to be turned off. Here they are: https://www.wordsbywes.ink/articles/tools/turnin…

That story seems convincing.
In 2009-2011 we covered a huge mayoral bribery trial. The mayor of a midsized southern city, Larry Langford, was convicted on $235,000 in bribes to grease bond deals, leading to a MASSIVE boondoggle: a $3.2 billion sewer debt, contributing to the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.
I thought, even then, $235K seemed light for a big town mayor.
So $600,000 in a years-long deal for a sitting congressman?
