Its perhaps unsurprising that the Tangerine Tyrant has reversed a ruling on the link between greenhouse gases & pubic health; the Obama administration's 'endangerment finding' underpins much of recent US environmental regulation (especially in the automotive sector).

The impact will be varied (from health to economic) but reflects Trump's scepticism about climate change.

Like tariffs however, it seems likely that MAGA voters will be paying the price?

This is what the British state regards as due process.

"At some point in the challenge to the ban on Palestine Action beginning on Wednesday, the co-founder of the direct action group will be asked to leave courtroom five at the Royal Courts of Justice, as will her legal team and most others present. Then the case will continue without them.

When Huda Ammori returns to the room, the special advocate – a security-cleared barrister – who represented her interests in her absence will not be allowed to tell her or her legal team what evidence was presented against Palestine Action. If Ammori asks what allegations were made directly against her, the special advocate must not tell her, even though that means she will have no chance to rebut them."

@gerrymcgovern Depending on the work the computers are doing DCs can be very useful. BUT!

a) The compute loads most people create do not require the kinds of mega DCs we're seeing. It's amazing what you can fit into a single floor of the average city office building, compute-wise.
b) Waste heat reuse is hard with isolated DCs. Easier when compute is integrated with cities and towns.
c) Cities are full of suitable nooks, close to workers.

@gerrymcgovern I'd like to see very tight limits put on the sizes of datacentres; and for public funding being made available for localities to develop their own facilities, integrated into towns, for residents to be able to use for things like file storage/sharing, messaging, running blogs, etc. There is plenty of good-quality OSS available and removing the commercial element would go a long way to winding back the privatised surveillance culture that's developed.

So there’s a new Guardian interview with Jimmy Wales out (to promote his new book, with an affiliate link for the Guardian in it) titled “‘People thought I was a communist doing this as a non-profit’: is Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales the last decent tech baron?”* that’s making the rounds here.

For those who only read the headlines, here’s a TL;DR: No. There is no such thing as decent tech baron, that’s an oxymoron.

From the article itself:

“‘I’m actually quite in favour of business and capitalism and all that.’ (He’s currently president of Fandom, an ad-funded entertainment site that hosts user-edited pages, owned by private equity firm TPG Capital).”

And:

“Does he still regard Musk, the world’s richest man, as a friend? ‘Friends is probably a little strong. I mean, not, not that –‘ he sputters, editing himself in real time. ‘I want to be careful how I say that, only because I’ve met him maybe five or six times, so that I would be overstating to say friends. We’ve been friendly, and even now he’s much nicer to me in private than you might think. I mean, he’s got a big public persona, and that’s a little bit different from the private Elon, who I think is more thoughtful.’”

    In a new (open access) study there seems to be a good link between tolerance and diverse food consumption;

    the authors conclude: 'the findings suggest that exposure to ethnic cuisine may serve as a subtle yet meaningful catalyst for direct intergroup contact, capable of reducing hostility towards immigrants'

    Sometimes subtle influence can be important!
