I’ve written a reaction to @transportenvironment.org‘s report on ticketing problems for iPaper inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...
We know the scale of the problem now. The ball is in the Commission‘s court to fix it now! #CrossBorderRail #ticketing #sdbtr
Dit kan Schiphol ook doen.
Schiphol heeft ook 30% vluchten die de Nederlandse economie schade toebrengen.

Is someone going to tell him that the flu killed more US troops in WWI than any battle did (and that war had chemical weapons so horrific that they were banned afterwards)?
My father survived a year with pancreatic cancer but it was a year of terrible suffering. This is very encouraging news.

Nog steeds. Zeker indirect.
Dus een (niet echt noodzakelijke) vliegvakantie zorgt helaas gewoon voor meer oorlogsleed.

"De oorlog is een grote tragedie."
Daarom moeten wij Rusland minder financieren!!
Beperk u olie en gasverbruik svp!
Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

Healthy accountability is triggered by evidence, points upward at power, and happens in public. Disordered accountability protects insiders and aims its punishment outward. What the document does is argue for the second while calling it the first.
Let me say that again: PHEV are a scam!
No logistics company buys PHEV lorries 🚛, because they're simply not worth it. PHEV was always going to be a method for ICE manufacturers to sell more ICE cars, just while paying less in fines.
“Clinicians preserve uncertainty & iteratively refine differential diagnoses, whereas LLMs [across model generations]collapse prematurely onto single answers….
The risk is not just that LLMs are sometimes wrong but that their reasoning is brittle precisely where uncertainty & nuance matter most.”🧪🛟

Geldt ongetwijfeld ook voor ons continent. #PublicHealth #Hlimate
We did checks for Typhus at my street med clinic during a major heat wave last year.
Climate change is reshaping the public health landscape and part the challenge will be local PH providers adjusting to treat new disease burdens as # of temp-sensitive pathogens change in unpredictable ways.

A HUGE, narrative-breaking moment for the UK car market
New EVs are now cheaper than petrol cars on average, says Autotrader
Last yr CCC said price parity was due by 2028 – and it's already here
And EVs are already MUCH cheaper to run than petrol
The German government has decided to react to the fuel price increase with the usual tax cut / #Tankrabatt
This study shows, however, that less than 7% of the total relief provided this way goes to households in need www.springerprofessional.de/analyse-der-...
An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death
Het zou ‘zeer onverstandig’ zijn als het kabinet besluit kolencentrales langer open te houden vanwege de oorlog in Iran.
Klimaatbeleid moet vooral consistent zijn. NL heeft behoefte aan een energie plan voor na 2030.

Vind je het ook wel erg warm voor de tijd van het jaar? Wen er maar aan: het wordt steeds vroeger zomer, de zomers duren langer en zijn heter dan vroeger. En het verandert sneller dan gedacht.

Voor iedereen die reageert met ‘strategische autonomie’ als argument; grondstoffen als kolen, erts en straks aardgas - 100.000 m3 per dag - worden… geïmporteerd. 100.000 m3 aardgas per dag maakt ons alleen maar nog afhankelijker van de VS of Midden-Oosten. Papegaai toch niet alles na. 🥵 #Tata
Wouldn’t it be amazing if rail firms saw an opportunity here… 🤔
“Nature doesn’t need us. We need nature.
When the last wild space is paved for profit, no amount of wealth will restore the web of life that feeds and heals us.
Shift from exploitation to stewardship. The Earth will thank us — and so will our descendants. 🌱

Pfizer has ended its large Phase III Trial of an updated COVID19 vaccine.
They were not able to enroll enough people to meet their goal.
A major problem is the FDA’s wholly unreasonable demand that people with chronic conditions, who benefit most from the vaccine, not be allowed to participate.
😢 Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) zit in NL in vaccinatie programma.
Desinformatie en populisme maken meer kapot dan je lief hebt!

A page from the book 1984
Brown University is home to George Orwell's original manuscript of 1984. Most of it is marked up heavily in Orwell's hand-writing but this untouched page caught my eye.
