Fair enough, I did not know that. Maybe add to your list of reasons that attention is divided over so many conflicts nowadays. Probably there have been conflicts all the time, but with Ukraine, Greenland, Minnesota, Gaza and Venezuela getting a lot of attention it feels like a lot. Note that I don't think the conflicts are remotely comparable with each other, but they each take up a lot of mindspace at least for me.

The biggest difference is "our" role in it. For western countries, the economic and diplomatic relations with e.g. Israel is a lot stronger than with Iran. It makes much more sense to speak up if you feel your country or one of their allies does something you disagree with.

That is only pragmatic, right? Speaking up might actually change things by putting these relations at stake. For Iran, there might not be much left to do from a western perspective except military involvement. Starting another war is not something a Greta led flotilla might want to do.

The original tweet only speculated that it might work, but the article mentions and links to another about actual succesful attempts: "Tech News reported that the fake passport generated using ChatGPT-4o successfully bypassed basic KYC checks used by fintech platforms like Revolut and Binance".

What brand were you able to find with knobs? I went with induction as well in a recent kitchen renovation, but I was not able to find any with knobs, except for some professional restaurant grade stoves. It's my biggest beef with induction, there is always a slight delay with these touch buttons, and they are triggered by a drop of water.

Weather is local. This article is talking about the global average surface temperature.

I've been in a hotel where the rooms had pin pads as locks that required you to press two random numbers every time you want to enter. The pad was a bit sensitive to fingerprints, but due to this mechanism there would be fingerprints all over the device.

Yes, this! The non-alcoholic beers have gotten so much better over the last couple of years. I remember that they smelled quite pungent, but this is no longer the case.

I mostly enjoy IPA non-alcoholics, or a Weizen. But for regular NA pilsener I would recommend Grolsch, it's a bit more hoppy then Heineken.

I hear people bring up this argument in the Netherlands as well, when talking about the safety of nuclear energy. It does not put me entirely at ease though; the Netherlands is a very tiny and pretty crowded place, you are never far away from a city. And these statistics might very well be based on reactors build in remote areas. Would it still be safe to build one near dense populations, or would a future incident drastically skew the data?

True, that is good advice. I have been surprised by terrible rainshowers and fog before while already driving though.

I've had good results with offloading work to a cloud based server where I ran my docker containers during development. Just CLI though, I left the graphical part on the client side. As mentioned by others, VSCode with remote SSH was a blessing for such a scenario.

There are benefits; I could scale up my workstation even for an hour or so, with more memory or a fancier cpu. And it was easier to share my work with other (remote) colleagues; because they were at another timezone I could leave the server up for them when needed, while I shut my laptop down for the day and see their feedback the next day.

The decision about what sensor to use is more easily made when one of the sensors provides no data, or clearly disturbed data. Like in case of fog, mud on a camera, pouring rain, etc.

My phone often signals me that I have to clean the lenses of my camera, so I'm sure it's possible to detect unreliable sensors. Sure, you have to decide on all sorts of tipping points, and in the end that is probably expensive to develop and the reason the sensors are dropped.

I doubt Bitcoin mining is really suitable to use energy in realtime either. I don't think it makes financial sense to only run your expensive mining equipment during flares. In result the mining will run continuously, and just compete with other energy consumers.

To be honest I know too little about mining costs to dispute this. The Cambridge article about BTC mining using mostly fossils supports my point though. Having said that, I hope you guys are right in Bitcoin mining making energy greener.

Isn't every energy consumer incentivized to use the cheapest available energy source? In case of a landfill, there probably is a city nearby which would benefit from cheap electricity.

Perhaps miners have an advantage over a city in that they can move or disable mining rigs in times when renewables are scarce. But from what I understand Asics are expensive, and running them is big business. Which probably means they will continue running while it is financially feasible, even when a nearby dam runs dry or there is not enough wind or solar to go about.

I've used a cheap hygrometer last winter, during which the air inside my home was always way too dry. I had to place humidifiers (with some success). The difference in humidity for inside and outside temperatures is huge. You can calculate the relative humidity for different temperatures with online calculators such as [0].

Long story short; if you still heat your home, but some degrees lower than you used to do, you are probably fine regarding mould.
