Measuring your food waste for six weeks can change your habits, according to new study
You've had a long day and you're tired. Faced with making dinner, you look in the fridge and decide to cook something that requires little effort. This is a common scenario, and one that many people act out without really thinking about it.

Analyzing User Ideologies and Shared News During the 2019 Argentinian Elections
The extensive data generated on social media platforms allow us to gain insights over trending topics and public opinions. Additionally, it offers a window into user behavior, including their content engagement and news sharing habits. In this study, we analyze the relationship between users' political ideologies and the news they share during Argentina's 2019 election period. Our findings reveal that users predominantly share news that aligns with their political beliefs, despite accessing med…

Not flexible enough? Impacts of electric carsharing on a power sector with variable renewables
Electrifying the car fleet is a major strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector. However, electrification alone will not solve all the negative externalities associated with cars. In light of other problems such as street space as well as concerns about the use of mineral resources for battery electric cars, reducing the car fleet size would be beneficial, particularly in cities. Carsharing could offer a way to reconcile current car usage habits with a reduction i…

"He stressed that the findings were not definitive. The study uncovered a correlation between time-restricted eating and increased mortality, but it could not show cause and effect. It’s possible for example that people who restricted their food intake to an eight-hour daily window had other habits or risk factors that might explain their increased likelihood of dying from heart disease. The scientists also noted that the study relied on self-reported dietary information.

Nowadays, software analytics tools using machine learning (ML) models to, for example, predict the risk of a code change are well established. However, as the goals of a project shift over time, and developers and their habits change, the performance of said models tends to degrade (drift) over time. Current retraining practices typically require retraining a new model from scratch on a large updated dataset when performance decay is observed, thus incurring a computational cost; also there is …
