Bioengineering options multiply, but they all sound so simplistic, mono-metric against very complex systems. Missing something? https://heatmap.news/carbon-removal/ocean-alkalinity-carbon-credit

A roof painting with thermal properties to cool down buildings. That looks like a good, simple idea. https://www.coolroof-france.com/en/homepage/

As an observer of a foreign country’s politics, I now have a confirmed, fact-checked opinion: The US administration lies on the Iranian conflict (cutting short of qualifying them as simply liars, but there is plenty data to that bias). The lie is about the refusal to negotiate on the Iranian side. There are multiple open doors to negotiate, under condition of ceasefire. The US and Israeli government are the ones who refused negotiating.

The steel deal orchestrated by Trump's administration looks like a socially, perhaps later "greenly" positive one. Any down side? https://heatmap.news/sustainability/trump-us-steel-green

When I think about robotics, here is an example why I can be so distressed with ROS-only kind of thinking. https://farcaster.xyz/trh/0x3191eea2

Often heard what looks like malice can easily be incompetence. Modern times are more what looks like incompetence can easily be corruption.

Subtle activism. Who will notice? Apparently in the UK. Found in a LinkedIn post, and unable to find it again (little trying).

So the Internet Archive lost in appeal against Hachette, Penguin, HarperCollins, and Wiley. Judgment looks fair by the current laws, but here the law seems to cause harm. https://www.wired.com/story/internet-archive-loses-hachette-books-case-appeal/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachette_v._Internet_Archive

Recurring thought. Concerned by the growing opinion that crypto is the only thing leading to decentralisation. Please read as a whole: Crypto is a tech partial and biased solution. Partial as it relies on and needs more energy which we know is a problem (despite PoS and more renewables). Biased because it leads many to learn anything is a transaction—imagine taking care of your child or parent. Long live to crypto, situated in its real reality.

The Twitter owner: “President Trump must win to preserve the constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America. This is a must-win situation. Get everyone you know, drag them to register to vote. If they don’t, this will be the last election. That is my prediction.” The last election. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/06/donald-trump-makes-a-theatrical-return-to-butler-scene-of-assassination-attempt

Starting to think that one of the measures of “real” advancement of a culture/nation/politics must be whether it lets children be children. Odd short claim (parents know children are egocentric tyrans at first). The ramifications are what matters. Just an example: what fraction can think decentralised if childhood has been about patriarchy or (practiced) meritocracy?

The French government now has a “Department of Decentralisation”. Pretty sure it is not what you think it is.
