Cards on deck: Trump keeps stack of orders ready to play as needed
Throughout Trump’s second term, White House staff have maintained a stash of executive orders and proclamations they can deploy
depending on the themes of the moment and the narratives they want to shape,
a senior White House official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to talk frankly about internal strategies.

Some orders are put into the calendar well in advance, the official said.

Cards in deck: Trump keeps stack of orders ready to play as needed
Trump has a large stack of executive orders prepared and ready — some written before he took office — that he can release whenever the mood strikes.

"The destruction of the climate by industrial processes is a real-world problem. If programming language selection has no impact on it, then maybe we’re all just wasting our time, creating shiny consumer distractions to make the last few years of humanity that little more palatable for the richest 1% of the world’s human population."

Choosing A Programming Language
Selecting the correct programming language for a particular task often feels like a bunfight. Suggestions are thrown around based on the individual's preferences and desires. The experience is very likely to leave one feeling that programming is an art, rather than a science.

Some detail i just realized although it was out in the open: In the british mandate area of Palestine lived arabs druzes, jews, christians,..., but the term "Palestinians" was created by Arafat in the 70s, but meaning arabs exclusively. So far, so known.
But, with the word he claimed the whole territory of Palestine for arabs, defining all others as foreigners.
Therefore semantically the use of the word 'Palestinians' for arabs in Palestine implies the eradication…

Fingerprint of anthropogenic climate change detected in long-term western North American fire weather trends - Communications Earth & Environment
Anthropogenic climate change has been the dominant driver of increasing fire weather trends in western North America over the past 50 years, contributing 81–188% of the observed linear trends, according to regional optimal fingerprinting applied to large ensembles of high-resolution climate models.

Watching Trump and Musk turn off the NOAA data centres, threatening irreplaceable archives of weather and climate data and analyses. Remembering when Stephen Harper’s government shut down a bunch of government libraries and archives, including literally throwing irreplaceable records in the trash.

The Harper Government Has Trashed and Destroyed Environmental Books and Documents
In the first few days of 2014, scientists, journalists, and environmentalists were horrified to discover that the Harper government had begun a process to close seven of the 11 of Canada's world-renowned Department of Fisheries and Oceans libraries...

"as dense urban neighborhoods grow more costly, lower- and moderate-income renters, the very people most likely to ride the bus, are pushed out and replaced by a more affluent set who, on the whole, tend to favor getting around by car."
This finding should temper expectations that building lots of market-rate, i.e., expensive, housing will automagically bring about some kind of transit renaissance.

The optimization of crop response to climatic stress through modulation of plant stress response mechanisms. Opportunities for biostimulants and plant hormones to meet climate challenges
Climate change is a major threat to crop potential and is characterized by both long-term shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns as well as increased occurrence of extreme weather events, these extreme weather events are the most immediate and intractable threat to agriculture. Crop resilience in the face of stress depends upon the speed and effectiveness with which plants and cropping systems sense and respond to that stress. A variety of agronomic practices including breeding, exoge…

Assessing Future Wind Energy Potential under Climate Change: The Critical Role of Multi-Model Ensembles in Robustness Assessment
Accurate projections of wind energy potential under climate change are critical for effective long-term energy planning. While previous studies have highlighted the value of multi-model ensembles, they often fall short in capturing the full spectrum of uncertainties and temporal dynamics relevant to wind resource reliability. This paper presents one of the most comprehensive assessments to date, leveraging a large ensemble of 21 high-resolution RCM-GCM combinations from the EURO-CORDEX initiati…

CADRE: Customizable Assurance of Data Readiness in Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning
Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning (PPFL) is a decentralized machine learning approach where multiple clients train a model collaboratively. PPFL preserves privacy and security of the client's data by not exchanging it. However, ensuring that data at each client is of high quality and ready for federated learning (FL) is a challenge due to restricted data access. In this paper, we introduce CADRE (Customizable Assurance of Data REadiness) for FL, a novel framework that allows users to define…

Irreversible glacier change and trough water for centuries after overshooting 1.5 °C - Nature Climate Change
How mountain glaciers will react to temporarily overshooting 1.5 °C of warming is poorly understood. Here the authors show irreversible global glacier loss for centuries after overshoot, implying long-term reductions in glacial water resources with amplified impacts in regions where glaciers regrow.
