"The two collections are particularly valuable because the libraries of Heilsbronn and Sankt Jobst are the only monastery libraries from the former Franconian margraviates of Brandenburg-Ansbach and Brandenburg-Bayreuth to have survived in almost complete form."

But only, and let me be clear, if you don't offer tax abatement (which they get), regulate their presence (which they aren't) and are monitored closely (also are not). But, what they do have, is lots of money to bribe, I mean donate to re-elect, politicians.

This is not so much a warning for politicos but a deep donation call to that last clause, "GOP donors and powerful business figures". This is a, "you better give more, or else we're all on the chopping block," message.

My hospital system is closing a cancer center at a regional hospital's cancer center and transferring people 20 miles west to the next closest hospital. Doesn't sound like a lot, but the population served at the old site is poorer and older, so has less access to transport. MFers!

I remember a time when doing such a thing would result in having your ass handed back to you. There was also a time when such a comment would lead to a repatriation of said ambassador in a box with a note on top saying, "please replace, this one is defective."

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

Again, as a reminder, there is no such thing as a winnable nuclear exchange. And Stanslav Petrov knew that, even though the USSR had just staged war games based on that premise. Thank Brid the officers who control the weapons understand them the best. I truly hope they still do.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

AI datacenters have a lifespan of something like 3 years before they need reconfigured (which because NVIDIA's new chips are not backward compatible requires almost a complete rebuild). By the time this satellite launches it will have <2 years of effective life for it's designed specifications.

I have to wait until October to get my flu shot (surprise, folks, flu season is already hitting) because if I go to CVS or some other place, including my primary care doc (who works for the same system I do) my immunization is not processed correctly so then I spend 2 weeks trying to sort it out.

what she said. Companies tried this in the 80s as they computerized their accounting. "The computer made that mistake." No, your company made that mistake. Also, AI in Healthcare has the "Human in the Loop" philosophy. There is always a human who is supposed to be checking and signing off on AI.

One endearing horrific image of my early professional career was in Blue Ash, Ohio. I'd get a sub and sit in a local (cement covered) park and eat looking at a shallow fountain. One day a local day camp had placed catfish in the fountain for rich kids to catch.
