Heute vor 23 Jahren: Am 13. Juni 2002 enthüllte Vadim Logachev (Krasnoyarsk SB RAS), dass am Testgelände #Semipalatinsk radiologische Waffen erprobt wurden. Die Tests, bei denen radioaktiver Abfall abgeworfen oder gesprengt wurde, endeten 1958, da sie als unpraktikabel galten.

Not really,
because the oceans around reefs aren't deserts

Heard of "Darwin's paradox"? It refers to Charles Darwin's observation that coral reefs are wildly productive despite occurring in nutrient-poor tropical oceans. Reefs are, so the story goes, oases in marine deserts 🏝️... Turns out that 2/3 of these assertions are very wrong... 🌐 🦑🧪 🧵⬇️

17½ minutes of primal squatting tonight, catching up on the 1980 German novella "Ein fliehendes Pferd" by Martin Walser. I'll be leading a book discussion group for the Volkbildungswerk on it in three weeks. Sign up! https://www.vbw-ned.de/programm…

Optical force density and surface displacements in transparent dielectrics due to non-ionizing sub-picosecond laser excitation
The optical force density acting in transparent dielectric media due to short laser excitation is theoretically analyzed. For typical laser pulses with picosecond duration, the momentum component of the optical force becomes of the same order of magnitude as the stress component, enhancing the overall optomechanical effects. Simulations of the optically-induced surface displacements in fused silica glass are also presented. With careful choice of realistic simulation parameters, dispersive and …

Agreed, great series about the enshittification

More than half of America’s billion-dollar start-ups were founded by at least one immigrant,
and a quarter have a founder who arrived as a student.
