If I had to be in Utrecht for a 2-3 day conference next year, could I stay at hostels for cheap? Is that a thing? Can I rent a bicycle as a forigner and toot around the little towns for a few days afterward?

Ab und zu statte ich unserem seit dem 16.09. gelangweilt beim Händler stehenden neuen Elroq einen Besuch ab. Gestern bemerkte ich einen neuen Zettel hinter der Windschutzscheibe mit meinem und dem Verkäufernamen sowie dem Tag der Anlieferung. 16.09. war ihm wohl selbst zu peinlich, darum hat er den Tag unserer Rückkehr aus dem Urlaub genommen: 05.10.2026.

Today in The Conversation Canada, Jeremy Wildeman of Carleton University and Aisha Ahmad of the University of Toronto explain that while a U.S. military strike on its northern neighbour sounds like an extreme “tail-risk” scenario, Prime Minister Mark Carney and top defence officials aren’t taking any chances. With the Canadian Armed Forces expanding reserve forces to 400,000 for homeland defence, Ottawa is actively scenario-planning for the unthinkable.

Playing around with a new #collation app for the #PTA which will be much more flexible and more potent than our current approach with #CollateX and a JupyterNotebook.

Wish I could trace down that thread by Casey Explosion about how app driven gig economy parasites start out as loss leaders to engage in predatory pricing. How they are able to burn through cash for so long because such apps are still seen as “the future” and a cargo cult of venture capital forms around them.
There are other examples of this happening, even if predatory pricing is not part of the formula, rather “the future” of tech being seen as sci-fi being made real leading to the v…

Pete Hegseth has always assumed that experts are idiots,
believed he’s the smartest guy around,
and as a result ignores them and ends up breaking stuff (and failing in the process).
The entire Trump administration’s motto mirrors Mark Zuckerberg’s adage to
“move fast, break things,”
in this case literally.
Hegseth’s aggression, recklessness and blatant disregard for expertise is nothing new.
When he served as a 1st Lieutenant in Iraq in 2005-2006, …
