Con instalaciones en España (dos estaciones), Nueva Zelanda, China, México, Sudáfrica y Chile, es la red más completa de su clase y un recurso único y totalmente automatizado para combinar datos de instrumentos de todo el mundo, vigilar el cielo y apoyar las observaciones de misiones y satélites.

A left-wing conspiracy theory about the 1980 election was that GOPers convinced Iran to hold onto the hostages to sabotage Jimmy Carter's re-election.

Holy crap; it was actually true.

Today in 1981, 42 years ago: The ZX81, a pioneering British home computer, is launched by Sinclair Research and would go on to sell over 11⁄2 million units around the world.

this is incredible. Hanging solar panels a few meters above crops of tomatoes and jalapeños multiplied their yield 2-3x, used substantially less water, controlled temperatures, and increased the output of the solar panels https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2301355120 #science #solar #environment #agriculture

This argues that - because of the "perils of a public good in private hands" - not just discussion should move from twitter to mastodon, scholarly institutions should now also create instances in the fediverse that make publicly available: papers, data & code.

Mirando está Web (Fediverse Observer) uno puede darse cuenta de que Portugal tiene una presencia en Mastodon, similar a la de Francia o Alemania, muy por encima de lo que el número de habitantes parecería indicar… Y muy superior a la de España que prácticamente no aparece. Otra oportunidad que no estamos aprovechando… https://fediverse.observer/stats

🛢Greenpeace lleva a los tribunales de la UE el lavado verde de las energías sucias.

La Comisión Europea ha rechazado la solicitud de Greenpeace para que dé marcha atrás la nueva clasificación que incluye a las nucleares y el gas fósil como energías verdes. La ONG anuncia medidas judiciales.

#ÚLTIMAHORA | L'alcaldessa de Barcelona suspèn les relacions institucionals amb Israel i l’agermanament amb Tel-Aviv. La campanya “Barcelona amb l’apartheid No” ho celebra com una victòria després que 112 organitzacions i 4.000 persones ho reclamessin.

Para recordar con lo del #innercore tres hitos:

1936 Inge Lehman descubre el núcleo interior sólido en la Tierra de unos 1250 km de radio
1996 Xiaodong Song y Paul G. Richards descubren su rotación diferencial con manto y corteza de en torno a 1º anual
2023 Yi Yang y Xiaodong Song (este repite) descubren una variación decenal posiblemente cíclica (70 años aprox.)
(y entre medias mucha discusión, medidas diferentes y algún que otro modelo disidente)

People: “AI will destroy us”

Wow. RStudio (recently rebranded as Posit) is partnering with Palantir. Yes, the same Palantir with ties to Cambridge Analytica. The same Palantir that partners with and actively supports ICE and other oppressive surveillance.

This is really not ok ethically, and can only mean a bad direction functionally for the company's software going forward. I never use RStudio for research myself, but it looks like I'll stop using it in teaching.

Did you know Monopoly was invented by a woman named Elizabeth Magie in 1903?

Originally ‘The Landlord’s Game,’ it was designed as a protest against the big monopolists of her time like Carnegie & Rockefeller.

But it was Charles Darrow, an unemployed salesman, who eventually sold it to Parker Brothers after playing a version.

Parker Brothers credited Monopoly with saving their company. Magie died in 1948 without recognition. Darrow became very wealthy & his legend lives on. #history #women

I'm sick of people saying it's easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of #capitalism. I think about the end of capitalism every day. Today I imagined what it would be like to live in a community that valued me for being present rather than "useful" or "productive." In that world, I think I would spend a lot more time taking care of plants. I would tell stories when I felt like it, instead of on deadline. What do you imagine? #imaginetheendofcapitalism
