ICE pitches plan to fund liability insurance for local officers
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is pitching a plan to help shield local police officers who make immigration arrests from possible financial consequences if they are accused of on-duty misconduct. A planning document released Friday says the agency is proposing to subsidize liability insurance for state and local officers who are trained and deputized to enforce federal immigration laws. ICE’s partnerships with local departments have soared since President Donald Trump returned to th…

Per 1/1/2027 loopt mijn energiecontract af. Nu krijg ik een aanbieding voor verlenging van Greenchoice. Ze nemen het juiste verbruik als uitgangspunt: 5000 afname, 4000 teruglevering en komen dan voor 3 jaar vast,wat ik vroeger het leukste vond op € 126 per maand. Ik betaal nu € 39. Dat is bewust iets te laag, want ik betaal liever bij dan dat ik het bij GC renteloos oppot. Ik ga over op dynamisch, want batterij, dus ik ga daar toch weg, maar mensen, wat een verschil.

Nvidia's AI moat is shifting from chips to capital
Nvidia still has dominant market share in AI chips, but with competition picking up steam, the company is taking greater advantage of another key asset.

So very much this: Even if you think AI is net-positive, we have a duty to expand well, not on top of the most marginalized as always.
The way we do it now is the way of paving natural beauty, discarding entire communities, and taking what is often limited resources from those who need them to live.
It is possible to build data centers that do not have these problems. It is possible to power with solar, to cool with a refrigeration cycle instead of evaporating water.
It just costs more energy. And therefore is only viable if we invest in solar, heavily, and require it.
One of the fundamental tenets embedded in capitalism is that if you can't represent it in the market, it doesn't have to be taken into account. Community and ways of life are those things.

Am Bahnhof ist mir ein Dude hinterhergelaufen, obwohl ich Kopfhörer drin hatte, und hat mich irgendwann angetippt, was ich ja immer ganz besonders gern mag. Ich habe vielleicht etwas ZU energisch „was?“ gefragt.
„Schreien Sie doch nicht so. Ich wollte nur wissen, wie spät es ist!“
Ich bedaure manchmal sehr, dass ich mich für einen grundsätzlich friedfertigen Menschen halte.
Wenn ich mal Diktator von diesem peinlichen Land bin, führe ich eine Armbanduhrenpflicht ein.

Ich muss mich entschuldigen. Für etwa zehn Jahre habe ich immer wieder erzählt, dass ich im wahrscheinlich kleinsten Ort mit ICE-Bahnhof wohne. Gestern war ich bei @… (aktiver unter https://www.instagram.com/martincreat…

Back-to-back Arctic storms can double sea ice loss
Scientists have found that Arctic cyclones become especially destructive when several strike one after another. These storm clusters cause about twice as much sea ice loss as isolated cyclones, with impacts that persist roughly two and a half times longer. As Arctic ice becomes thinner and weaker, the damage from these storms appears to be increasing, potentially creating a feedback loop that accelerates future ice loss.
