Dutch Government To Allocate € 22 Million For More Hydrogen Stations"
Slate: "The federal government created this beautiful park [Yellowstone]. Guess who doesn’t want to admit it? Yellowstone: One-Fifty sidesteps the truth, which is the Hayden survey [that led to the creation of the park] was an unabashedly federal project. He had Congressional funding and orders from the Department of the Interior. He and his team took the transcontinental railroad (the existence of which was the end result of another federal project) to Utah to begin the survey. He had a 2nd Cavalry protective detail out of Fort Ellis (a federal installation). His Yellowstone survey report was printed and distributed by the Government Printing Office"

The prevalence of QED could have something do with Europeans feeling a bit down about themselves at the time.. Imagine that Shelter Island meeting, two years after the end of the WWII where Europe had destroyed itself (again), and here they are, the elder scientist are sitting in a New World conference, watching two young American scientists all wired, flailing away talking energetically about some crazy bizarre theory Europeans must have thought, well, maybe this crazy shit is the new way, we destroyed ourselves with our science and tech. Who knows? Maybe we should pass the torch..
Theoretical physics (along with cosmology) has gone awry, ever since 70s nothing of significance has been done, and worse, bizarre unfounded theories like string theory were pursued for decades. Where to pin the blame?
QED could be the original sin. Think about it, once you ignore data, engage in scientific fraud, push whopping infinities under the rug to make a theory "work" what else can you not do? 10-20 dimensions, the multiverse, many-worlds, quantum computation.. the sky will be the limit. Because now you are only "limited by your imagination" (cue in the image of a wacky Einstein), anything goes, right?

Chip: "Many homeowners with a PV system want a completely self-sufficient power supply. But conventional battery storage is not designed to store the self-generated electricity for months.

Slate: "The Clinton-Era Adoption Law That Still Devastates Black Families Today.. Promoted as a way to rescue children—especially Black children—languishing in America’s overloaded foster system, ASFA has had the opposite impact. By speeding up termination of parents’ rights, it has dramatically increased the chances that Black families, which are disproportionately separated by state child welfare authorities, will be permanently torn apart"

Slate: "The Bad Bet Tech Companies Made That Got Them Into This Mess.. companies understood their lockdown-augmented growth curves might not last forever, but they planned as if they would. Because while being wrong would mean cutting staff and missing earnings expectations, not attacking the opportunity would mean losing a market if COVID-inspired behavior did persist. So they took the risk"

If Iger decides to fix cuck, he would have the political capital to do it. Not likely based on past perf, but just saying..
DIS CEO Chepak is out. He tried to change some stuff but he didn't have enough political capital.. Add to that recent losses, he was done. Much of the Woke junk started during (returning CEO) Iger's time anyway, but maybe he was clear on where to go cuck and how much, and was steady about it. News says he will chose a successor, if he choses well, he will leave on a high note next time.
PV Magazine: "The German government has decided to collaborate with the private sector on the construction of an import terminal for green ammonia in Hamburg. From 2026, the terminal will import green ammonia from Saudi Arabia. Air Products will produce the ammonia and distribute it to end users in Germany, mostly for conversion into hydrogen. '[This] is a strong signal for the entire hydrogen market in Germany and Europe,' said Robert Habeck, the federal minister of economics and climate protection"
Other sci branches have improved, have to add that, many became mathematical, numerical.

Kelvin: "In science there is only physics; all the rest is stamp collecting"
Now, IMO the "beauty argument" pushed in sci circles must have been there to offset the "shut up and compute" crowd. We could argue the beauty argument was overdone as well, essentially they simply called for an economy in the formulation where if two explanations were equally correct choosing the simpler one... but the excess must have been there to balance the opposite.
The creation of QED also marks the shift of sci center from Europe to US, and it so happens that the culture code of technology in US is IT WORKS meaning doesnt matter how something is made, if it works, it's fine. Not to be too discriminating here but I think the Europeans are a little more into architecting, economy in their base frameworks.
Looking at the history of QED, it's understandable where the 'shut up and compute' idiom came from - I dont think this chestnut was specifically QM related. It has more to do with QED. Bcz remember what is QED? A bizarrely convoluted process that formulizes something (the so-called Feynman diagrams were the necessary simplifying tool for the unnecessarily complex procedure) but "it worked" so at that point you had to "shut up and compute".

Which came first: CFD for Aero or Finite Elements for Structures? According to book by Tenek and Argyris FEM stress analysis on airplane wings was first. The CFD stuff arrived later. And some could claim wind tunnels are still preferable for FD.
Two countries on the same island, one is doing well the other doesn't.. And now there is a border wall between them. Unbelivable..

Anyone can start MD server, and join a larger "federation" of servers.
Truth Social wanted to commercialize open-source Mastodon... Why bother? They could simply start a new server using the existing code, for conservatives, MAGA or just for Trump and publish on it. People are starting new nodes left and right these days anyway.
