That person’s solidarity with a colleague is remarkable and probably worth sharing, but indeed doesn’t look like a meme.

Yet I see why one would accept such post in a science-focused community. It’s hard to ignore all the attacks on science by US politicians.

Carbon capture doesn’t really help meet climate goal. Burning less and less fossil fuels does.

Yay GNU Taler is very promising, but I fear banks prefer proprietary systems.

It may become widely used if there’s strong customer demand for GNU Taler, or regulation requiring an open electronic wallet. Most banks would probably be dragging their feet.

Adding a second ISP can provide resiliency and ensure a critical infrastructure stays connected even when 1 ISP fails.

I would be surprised if the White House didn’t already have such resiliency.

My speculation is they just want to avoid red tape and circumvent the restriction and strict access control applied to existing connections.

DM aren’t end-to-end encrypted, so they aren’t a good way to send private messages.

I’m using a different instances, but I’d rather admin just turn them off for the time being.

Antiretroviral therapy for pregnant women already is a safe and effective way to avoid HIV transmission to the baby. It’s part of standard treatment guidelines https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1701216324003748

So the guy has genetically engineered babies as a potentially risky and certainlycontroversial solution for a problem that already has a safe and non-controversia solution.

Was there any doubt that compost is useful for farming?

This report explains F-35 have no remote control nor kill switch, but depend on US companies for maintenance and parts.

Even if an F-35 operator disconnected from the larger Joint Strike Fighter program’s supply chains can keep some number of its jets flying for a period of time through spares on hand and cannibalization, those aircraft would have extremely degraded capabilities.

On n’a pas vu ce taux depuis… à peine 6 mois.

China’s economy is providing equipment and materials to Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. I guess one’s war is another one’s prosperity.

BlueSky is US-based and not really decentralised. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky

Prefer Mastodon and other fediverse services.

Ça serait judicieux à plusieurs niveaux, oui. Beaucoup de trajets en train nécessitent une correspondance à Paris, donc même en vivant en dehors de la région on dépends des gares parisiennes.

Le réseau de voie ferré manque de résilience à cet endroit si on n’est pas capable de dévier une portion des trains sur d’autres voies.

Ça n’est pas forcément judicieux d’investir pour des itinéraires de secours pour chaque ligne du pays, mais là ça semble être un goulot d’étranglement.

EU regulation banned some pigments in 2022 due to risk of cancer. https://www.theblackhattattoo.com/blog/eu-tattoo-ink-ban-what-is-reach-and-how-does-it-impact-tattoo-artists

It’d be interesting to know if the increase risk in this new study appear with recently banned pigments, or if more pigments carry a risk.

Interrogés en commission à l’Assemblée, les dirigeants de Cnews ont tous juré n’avoir aucun lien avec la propagande russe.

La chaîne vient pourtant de tourner le pilote d’une émission avec Xenia Fedorova, l’ancienne patronne de RT France.

Elle en pense quoi cette commission ? J’espère qu’un-e journaliste leur posera la question.

There’s always a beer in Phoronix articles. Please drink responsibility, ie as little as possible.

Blackrock is part of the big three (BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street). They own a portion of almost everything, including each other.

So it’s often the case that Blackrock is involved, even indirectly.

What are the malicious behaviours? The article is very vague.

Good question. It’s working pretty well, actually.

A large literature establishes that beverage alcohol prices and taxes are related inversely to drinking. Effects are large compared to other prevention policies and programs. Public policies that raise prices of alcohol are an effective means to reduce drinking.
