🔌🚗 Electric mobility in Germany: Untapped Potential!
Electric mobility has been slow to take off, but there are positive trends. I summarize them in the new @diw.de Weekly Report, based on data collected on the #OpenEnergyTracker. (English version of a report first published in 🇩🇪 in February)
We reached the level of darkness in the US where a GOP Senator breaks the arm of a protesting US Marine on camera.
On the @bellingcat.com discord server it was stated that these photos were made from a distance of around 82 nautical miles (150km). Stored enough LNG to cause an explosion of 1380t of TNT (slightly bigger than the 2020 Beirut explosion). As far as I can tell it just burned and did not explode (?).

The #AI improvements over the past few months are remarkable. I start to become more like a product manager in a super-productive team of one. Maybe this is the return of the #fullstack (generalist) developer 😎.
AI is changing software development faster than most teams realize.
Writing code is no longer the hard part.
In my latest article, I explain why this is happening and what it means for modern development:

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?"
Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely."
"Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."
Und in #Deutschland jetzt noch schnell #technologieoffen eine Öl- und Gasheizung einbauen. #CDU #Schlafwandler -- Mit @robert-habeck.de als Kanzler wäre D ein wenig besser auf den Krieg gegen den #Iran vorbereitet gewesen. #Energiewende
I almost fell of my palm tree: "many universities no longer teach it [taxonomy] as part of biology courses" 😳
How is that even possible? As a plant collector with 1000+ plants (mostly palms) in my collection, #Taxonomy is the backbone of everything I do.

Imagine if Biden or any other president before him had talked about drapes, gold and a new ballrooms during a Medal of Honor ceremony and/or during war-time. The normalization of all this is pure insanity and just hurts my brain. #depressing
I have a soft spot for some cool #datavisualization - and this from 1920 is just mesmerizing.
OMFG! 😱 Utter unhinged insane madness.
#Iran and what it means for the #US #Midterm elections this fall. Excellent discussion and some scary prospects of what we need to be prepared for! This will be a rough ride for all of us to ensure free and fair elections.
Stell mir gerade vor wie der Iran versucht die Zufuhr von Sonne für die europäischen Solaranlagen in der Straße von Hormus zu blockieren. (Spruch vor rotem Himmel, daneben ist Saurons Auge zu sehen)
Irgendwie symbolisch ziemlich geil, dass die Bundesregierung jegliche Versuche von Erdöl- und Erdgasabhängigkeit endlich wegzukommen EXAKT zu dem Zeitpunkt beerdigt wenn ein neuer Irankrieg ausbricht und die Öl und Gaspreise hochschießen werden!

It has been hectic tracking events in the skies & on the ground in #Iran as well as Iranian retaliatory strikes against Israel and other nations in the Middle East. In this article, I look at the implications of the new war for #Ukraine, and the Pacific theatre. mickryan.substack.com/p/the-new-ir...
Call me impressed - Over past 2 weeks I have been using #Codex as my main #AI tool and it has been really helpful! My development work is mostly #Java using #Spring with #PostGIS as the main persistence store (plus using the #Postgres #MCP server).

Als jemand der in den 🇺🇸 USA lebt und von draussen reinschaut, habe den Eindruck, dass sich die Mis- und Desinformationen in 🇩🇪 Deutschland immer weiter ausbreiten (Bei Politikern, Medien aber auch der eigenen Familie). Wie ein schleichender Prozess. Sind die USA nicht Warnung genug?
In “Ausländer”, Sir Michael Moritz has produced an outstanding examination of how tragedy reverberates across generations
As Michael Moritz' children did: Art. 116 II of the German Constitution states that "victims by the Nazi regime [and descendants] who were deprived of their German nationality on political, racial or religious grounds" (1933-1945) "are entitled to be naturalized".

83 years ago, Hans and Sophie Scholl were executed by the Nazis for their acts of resistance against Hitler, together with their friend Christoph Probst. Sophie was 22 years old.
‘Well, look, if I’m going to import the cars anyway, then I’d rather import less oil. We may as well import the one that cleans up local air quality and is cheaper to buy.’

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.
It is only my first month of using #Codex. Have been using the #ChatGPT Plus plan ($20/month) previously for just general questions + research mostly. Have not run out of tokens, yet 🙂. As Backup (+ double-checking answers) I use both GitHub #Copilot and #Junie (Both via #IntelliJ IDEA, though).
I am quite happy with #Codex.
