“100% electric stairs for a green future”
Yeah... that jet engine in the background probably puts out more CO2 in a minute than gasoline powered air stairs use in a year.
they only use fuel for takeoffs, the rest is based on air pressure systems. airplanes do not pollute very much at all.
😂😂😂😂
Ignore that the unit is clearly trailered, and it is not an escalator. Fk it, we're eco-vibing.
Huh? No-one uses escalators for air stairs. The purpose of the motor is just to raise the stairs into position to match the height of the plane.
Climate virtue signalling on airports is max cringe BS
I wouldn't be surprised if solar powered air stairs actually save money: being self-refueling you don't have to pay someone to go around with a gas can periodically. And they're probably less maintenance than having an engine.
But green? 😂
Security evolves. Your hardware wallet should too.
Jade Plus now supports fully air-gapped firmware updates and transaction signing using the new JadeLink attachment.
Stay flexible. Stay secure. Stay in control.
Find out more about the new JadeLink attachment for the Jade Plus Bitcoin hardware wallet.
Is there anything different between this and any other USB-C flash drive? (other than hopefully not having any backdoors)
I had no idea MiCA requires EU-based stablecoins to hold 60% of their reserves in uninsured bank deposits.
Central banks could entirely remove the risk of this all collapsing over bank failures by offering zero risk euro accounts... They're obviously not going to do that to prop up the banking industry.

Exactly. Protecting commercial banks always comes first.

DOGE recently cut funding for research that was finding the estimated 35,000 children that Russia has abducted. This would have been a much more useful thing to cut...
Also, high chance that Trump wanted that research cut specifically to make it easier to sell "peace" with Russia. It's easier to sell "peace" with people who aren't insane psychopaths that abduct children by the tens of thousands to further the aim of genocide. There's probably something like 100,000+ Russians directly involved in that crime who should all be executed.

Pro-tip: if you want to prove that Pete Hegseth actually leaked you details of US strikes on Yemen hours ahead of time – rather than you just faking a few screenshots – timestamp those screenshots with OpenTimestamps.
Hey Peter, this might be a dumb question but are there any projects similar to OpenTimestamps, or that could couple with it to provide a device-specific signature in addition to the timestamp data? Like a device fingerprint, so you can reasonably prove data was created by a specific device before the given time?
I've always thought this would be super useful, but I'd be somewhat surprised if it didn't already exist.
Basically no. That is a much harder problem than time-stamping...
Assuming you could easily generate unique keys for any device, can you explain the difficulty? Wouldn't it just be like the earliest device has the strongest claim to authenticity?
I didn't realize it'd be that much harder, but I've probably missed the obvious. Thanks for your time.
The thing is with keys alone you're not proving that data was created by an device. But rather, just by a key. That by itself doesn't mean anything. To actually prove something about a device is a difficult key validation problem.
I really appreciate your reply.
I was thinking about it as the device fingerprint being essentially the seed for the key but I can see how that could be an issue if you cannot guarantee uniqueness of the seed, or if the private key is compromised (or can't be proven that it was never compromised), spoofing a device fingerprint, etc.
Anyway, I won't take more of your time but I like learning what I can. Have a good one! 👍
I’ve definitely contemplated accepting credit cards for @npub1xnf...lpr5 Olympus channels, but chargebacks, dispute fees, and general processor headaches don’t seem worth it at all.
Neat: NYU university was apparently hacked, with (claimed) graphs of admission data by race posted. If these are correct DEI is very much in effect.

Might as well go for a walk if you have 2 hours of calls
The calories figure looks kinda low for what those stats claim.
The emergency required to raise 80kg, 378m in elevation is 296kJ, or 70 dietary calories. The efficiency of the human body is roughly 25%. So for that elevation gain alone you need 280 calories; walking for two hours on flat terrain is probably itself ~600 calories.
Maybe the GPS was glitching on elevation gain? 379m over 9km is a relatively steep hill; really steep if you did a circuit and returned to where you started.
I was walking around a block in circles
On a hill or not?
slightly ? not exactly flat or that hilly either
I guess over two hours slight elevation gains adds up?
Looks like a bad GPS to me. Since you returned to where you started the uphill parts would have to average at least 8.5% grade, which is pretty steep for road. And since you travelled a significant distance in orthogonal axis it'd almost certainly have to be even steeper as the slope is unlikely to be at a 45° to the road network.
I’m surprised apple doesn’t just use the topology of the map?
They might not have it. Also, topology data is often pretty coarse.
Kavkazskaya oil pumping station in Kuban, Russia. This facility transfers oil by rail into pipelines for export.
Lots of other Russian infrastructure was hit in the past few days too. But this is the best video to come out recently.
Still burning...
Russia's Engels Strategic (eg nuclear capable) Air Force Base, hit yesterday for the 4th or so time.
People speculate a shipment of cruise missiles was hit (among other things) because the explosion was so big that buildings hundreds of meters away were damaged by the blast wave (the speed of sound is ~350m/s – do the math).
Russia is not invulnerable.

Satellite imagery of “Engels-2” Air Base in the Saratov Oblast of Southwestern Russia shows the almost total destruction of a munition storage site on the base, following a large-scale drone attack yesterday by Ukraine.
