It’s been 8 years since we published our report on how Google tricks people into extensive location tracking, and simultaneously filed complaints against Google. Today the decision from the Irish Data Protection Commission arrived: a €400 million euros fine. www.forbrukerradet.no/siste-nytt/d...

Nathan Sanders and Bruce Schneier say we must distinguish AI's technological problems from its capitalism problems. Developers are solving the first, they argue, while leaving the second to market incentives. Structural reforms will be necessary to steer industry toward the public interest.

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.
