Sometimes you look at a graph and think that a particular value seems a bit odd. Then you look at the other numbers and they seem off, too. At that point, you realise that the graph is not intended to clarify, but to obscure. On German #EV charging prices, Quartets and diesel.

Sometimes you look at a graph and think that a particular value seems a bit odd. Then you look at the other numbers and they seem off, too. At that point, you realise that the graph is not intended to clarify, but to obscure. Thank you, Felix Hamer, for drawing attention to this recent slide from BDEW Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V. The title suggests that EV charging would only cost the same as filling up a diesel or petrol car for the same distance in an 'Extremszenario…

Framing social issues as 'civil rights' can sometimes backfire
Framing is a powerful tool in communications: It can help people grasp complex ideas, but it can also distort or mislead. A recent sociological study suggests that framing social issues as "civil rights" can sometimes have surprising and even negative consequences.

The proper way to do this for a blind student would surely be some kind of physical manipulatives, not verbal descriptions. The thing is, I don’t have any blind students currently, and if I did, we’d work on individual accommodation and assistance.
With this alt text, I’m just trying to get •something• in there to be at least minimally accessible: head start on those accommodation, something helpful if I ever share this online, etc. If there’s any way for text to convey the spatial relationships, that would be better than the text I have.

Our hotel wifi keeps glitching. I'm guessing that there's a captive portal or something that is disabled, but the device randomly wants to send people to that network. Sometimes you'll have a 10.0.x.x IP address and everything will be fine, but other times you connect and you'll get a 192.168.1.x IP address and can't even reach the gateway (192.168.1.250). So on two different laptops, I've had to disable dhcp and hardcode 10.0.x.x IP addresses in order to get working …

What was the anti-AI rant I read recently from a link here titled something like "I don't want to hear about AI anymore"? Thanks in advance. Also, Web Search sucks these days.
