Lower numbers in Flensburg🇩🇪 are always desirable - whether it's points for German drivers (traffic fines) - or district heating temperatures. By reducing the need for 95°C heat from 10 > 1%, it's much easier to let heat pumps take over most of the heat supply. That's what the local utility will do.

Transformation in Flensburg: low temperatures for efficient heat pumps
As an innovative public utility company, Stadtwerke Flensburg is committed to decarbonisation and CO2 neutrality. To achieve this goal, the municipal utility company is working with Gradyent to reduce temperatures in the district heating system. As part of the partnership, the two companies have found a way to reduce the necessary annual heat share with a temperature above 95°C from around 10% to 1%. This means that heat pumps can be used to a higher extent and operated efficiently.

"At least two dozen countries worldwide have already made the sensible transition to some form of automatic tax filing, not necessarily just for low-income citizens, but in many cases for everyone. The UK, Japan, Australia, Denmark, Chile, and Portugal have implemented some version of an automated, digital tax system, and none of them have turned back."

How the tax industry is keeping automatic filing out of reach
In the unfair fight for automatic tax filing, Canadians need to get behind the underdog. While many of us might welcome and benefit from this service, it’s our vulnerable friends and neighbours who need it the most. We must come together to join the chorus calling for this crucial tax reform—and be louder than those motivated by nothing more than greed.

Is ChatGPT fuelling hyper-productivity?

Since its release in November 2022, OpenAT’s chatbot has helped scientists boost their productivity when it comes to writing papers or grant applications. But increasing the throughput of publications could stretch editors and reviewers even thinner than they already are. And, swhile many authors acknowledge their Al use, some quietly use chatbots to churn out low-value research. “We have to go back and look at what the reward system is in academia,” say…

NFL writer believes Las Vegas Raiders should pursue move for star defender
Following an initial flurry of activity during the opening week of free agency, the Las Vegas Raiders have adopted a more measured approach to signings. Nonetheless, significant gaps persist within their roster, notably at the cornerback position. A notable departure came in the form of Amik Robertson, who joined the Detroit Lions in free agency, leaving the Raiders in need of a starting-caliber cornerback. The availability of Xavien Howard, released earlier in the offseason by the Miami Dolphi…

Tight bounds for the learning of homotopy à la Niyogi, Smale, and Weinberger for subsets of Euclidean spaces and of Riemannian manifolds
In this article we extend and strengthen the seminal work by Niyogi, Smale, and Weinberger on the learning of the homotopy type from a sample of an underlying space. In their work, Niyogi, Smale, and Weinberger studied samples of $C^2$ manifolds with positive reach embedded in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We extend their results in the following ways: In the first part of our paper we consider both manifolds of positive reach -- a more general setting than $C^2$ manifolds -- and sets of positive reach embed…

If you want to know why local papers are failing, this is a sign of the times.
The LA Times this morning had no ads. The A section had literally not a single ad, and the B section had a few obituaries and classified ads, but not a single display ad. Not one.

I can't say this has never happened before, but I noticed something while reading the LA Times at breakfast this morning: it had no ads. The A section had literally not a single ad, and the B section had a few obituaries and classified ads, but not a single display ad. Not one. This is not to say there was nothing
