Maybe we should stop relying on developers to do the right thing and have the government tackle it directly.

Santa Clara County cities are failing to hit housing goals - San José Spotlight
Nearly all the cities in Santa Clara County — including San Jose — are moving so slow in meeting state housing goals that hitting the numbers looks like a pipe dream, a data analysis by San José Spotlight shows.

What's particularly muddy right now is
how a rising number of cattle infections are impacting farm workers,
beyond the Texas case that occurred back in March.
Veterinarians and physicians in states with dairy cattle outbreaks told The Associated Press there are multiple reports of farm workers falling sick,
but confirming cases is proving challenging for one key reason:
Many workers are reluctant to get tested.

What would it take to spark an H5N1 bird flu pandemic? And how bad would it be? | CBC News
For several decades, scientists have rung alarms that a dangerous form of bird flu had pandemic potential. As H5N1 spreads to more species, including U.S. dairy cattle, how likely is that worst-case scenario?

I have decided, as a #selfhost with just two other people on my instance, that I'm going to limit threads.net following the example of @… quoted below. I didn't know that you can “unlimit” specific accounts! This is an interesting option.

Jack Smith Takes Cannon to Law School
If you’ve been Listening to the Jack Podcast, or following myself or any number of legal pundits on social media, you’re no doubt aware that Judge Cannon issued an order on March 18th directing both parties - Jack Smith and team trump - to engage with two scenarios and “offer alt

I've had a little process running for the past year or so, totting up Mastodon "active monthly users". Occasional bumps up (one outstanding one last summer when Elon did something particularly idiotic) followed by long slow declines.
Was somewhat disappointed to see recent growth of about 250k turning out to be a phantom instance (telling lies via the API).

Probabilistic assessment of the reactor vessel lifetime

Probabilistic assessment of the reactor vessel lifetime
A simple and rapid method is proposed for assessing the reduction in the lifetime of steel walls of the reactor vessel under neutron irradiation. The method is based on modeling the number of radiation defects by the behavior of a general time-dependent random process of death and birth and queuing theory. Necessary data for assessments: the estimated operating time of the reactor (in years), the actual operating time of the reactor, the accumulated fluence depending on time, the temperature on…

Selenskyj: Brauchen "Patriots" und Granaten
Trotz einer Belebung westlicher Rüstungshilfen nach monatelanger Pause benötigt die von Russland angegriffene Ukraine eigenen Angaben zufolge weiter Waffen und Munition. Die täglichen russischen Raketenangriffe, die täglichen Angriffe an der Front könnten gestoppt werden, sagte Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj in seiner abendlichen Videobotschaft. "Aber dazu …

I didn't realize so many Quick Build projects were failing this badly to reduce injury crashes. On some of these streets I *feel* safer since the changes, but the numbers don't lie. These are failures and SF must reevaluate its whole approach. Concrete > flex posts
