Fascinating how it never seems to have occured to such a 5 dimensional chess master strategist as Ulf Poschardt that fear of Fascism among Centrists and mobilisation on the Left might mean that AfD pressure on the CDU/CSU could lead to a more Left wing governing coalition in Germany

New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.

Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.

Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings,

In February of 2015 then South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley tweeted a similar energy conservation message on Facebook.

one of my favourite things about software performance tuning, is you can sometimes fuck up and see hardly any improvement, but counterintuitively, that's often a great signal, that you're doing all the extra work to get the benefit, without the actual benefit, without introducing overhead

It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $35 for the book containing it.

A concerning development in Ukraine's northern Chernihiv region, where officials claim Russia fired a small radioactive missile. The R-60 is installed on a Shahed drone. Experts recorded gamma radiation levels of 12 μSv/h, significantly above natural radiation levels and "threatening human health."
