Aanpak mestprobleem is er niet van gekomen: ‘Deel boeren zal zich gedwongen zien om te stoppen’ | Trouw

Gewoon kort en simpel de conclusie die waarschijnlijk iedereen al getrokken had.
En dan zien dat de concurrentie (Ierland) wel weer meer mag uitrijden...
Maar ja ... Die hadden de problemen aangepakt.
Goed he? Die bbb ministers? 🙈🙈
Steam hit a new record with over 41.6M concurrent users on October 12, a surge largely sparked by the release of Battlefield 6 (Kosta Andreadis/TweakTown)

Was watching a talk by Sarah Wilson at TEDxSydney: "How to respond to a societal collapse"
Takeaway: If you're looking for an alternate word for "clusterfuck" (like if you're doing an RCA for US-EAST-1) I'm here to share that with you.

Abstract: Digital network failures stemming from instabilities in measurements of temporal order motivate attention to concurrent events. A century of attempts to resolve the instabilities have never eliminated them. Do concurrent events occur at indeterminate times, or are they better seen as events to which the very concept of temporal order cannot apply? Logical dependencies of messages propagating through digital networks can be represented by marked graphs on which tokens are moved in formal token games. However, available mathematical formulations of these token games invoke "markings"-- global snapshots of the locations of tokens on the graph. The formulation in terms of global snapshots is misleading, because distributed networks are never still: they exhibit concurrent events inexpressible by global snapshots. We reformulate token games used to represent digital networks so as to express concurrency. The trick is to replace global snapshots with "local snapshots." Detached from any central clock, a local snapshot records an action at a node during a play of a token game. Assemblages of local records define acyclic directed graphs that we call history graphs. We show how history graphs represent plays of token games with concurrent motions, and, importantly, how history graphs can represent the history of a network operating while undergoing unpredictable changes.

SNF (Switzerland) restrictions proposed: only 1 concurrent research grant per PI (plus maybe one coop), only 1 proposal per year.
🔥 Hot take (since I'm not at all operating like this currently): I actually think this might be a good idea? It would curb some of the biggest "research mills", where one PI has a huge pyramid scheme underneath them, and might encourage more careful grant proposals, slower science. And might even put more emphasis back into the basic research funding (instead of the grant lotteries)?
(Maybe naive, I know, and I have no idea how this would be implemented)
