Føles mærkeligt. Efter 16 år på #Twitter /X står der nu bare “Moved to @bluesky” Men efter bare en dag her på #bluesky føles det akkurat som Twitter var i gamle dage☺️👍

After 16 years at #Twitter/X I am now moving from to #BlueSky. After @elonmusk took over Twitter, changed it to X, I think it has deteriorated and lost its function and value as a good social media. Follow me at @simondyhr.bsky.social from now on. Goodbye X and hello @bluesky.

Er Bluesky en døgnflue? Eller er det reelt det nye Twitter, eller som Twitter var før X? #Bluesky #blueskyapp #twitter

So, Kamala Harris sounded like she might run again in 4 years. With the devastating blow to her and the @TheDemocrats last night that would be a monumental mistake. The #democrats now needs to reinvent itself and foster a whole new line of potential presidential candidates.

The Economist er modige:

Danmark er det europæiske land der foretrækker Harris absolut mest.

🇮🇱 BREAKING 🧯Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert: “The REAL enemy that we have is not Iran…is not Hezbollah….Is not Hamas” “The real enemy is from the within, the messianic, crazy, extreme groups of Israelis…The government…Netanyahu”

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

Or, this is what #climatechange looks like folks.

Med denne boken har jeg invitert til en samtale, om hvordan vi kan få til økt frihet for flere, og jeg forsøker forklare de sammenhengene det ikke er lett å få øyet på. Det gjelder oss alle. Hvordan lykkes med sameksistens ulike grupper i mellom? Ingen er fri før alle er fri❤️

Mario Draghi's new report on EU competitiveness doesn't mince words. "Across different metrics, a wide gap in GDP has opened up between the EU and the US, driven mainly by a more pronounced slowdown in productivity growth in Europe. Europe’s households have paid the price in foregone living standards. On a per capita basis, real disposable income has grown almost twice as much in the US as in the EU since 2000." "First – and most importantly – Europe must profoundly refocus its collective efforts on closing the innovation gap with the US and China, especially in advanced technologies. Europe is stuck in a static industrial structure with few new companies rising up to disrupt existing industries or develop new growth engines. In fact, there is no EU company with a market capitalisation over EUR 100 billion that has been set up from scratch in the last fifty years, while all six US companies with a valuation above EUR 1 trillion have been created in this period. This lack of dynamism is self-fulfilling." "There are not enough academic institutions achieving top levels of excellence and the pipeline from innovation into commercialisation is weak. [...] However, while the EU boasts a strong university system on average, not enough universities and research institutions are at the top. Using volume of publications in top academic science journals as an indicative metric, the EU has only three research institutions ranked among the top 50 globally, whereas the US has 21 and China 15." "Regulatory barriers to scaling up are particularly onerous in the tech sector, especially for young companies. Regulatory barriers constrain growth in several ways. First, complex and costly procedures across fragmented national systems discourage inventors from filing Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), hindering young companies from leveraging the Single Market. Second, the EU’s regulatory stance towards tech companies hampers innovation: the EU now has around 100 tech-focused laws and over 270 regulators active in digital networks across all Member States. Many EU laws take a precautionary approach, dictating specific business practices ex ante to avert potential risks ex post. For example, the AI Act imposes additional regulatory requirements on general purpose AI models that exceed a pre-defined threshold of computational power – a threshold which some state-of-the-art models already exceed. Third, digital companies are deterred from doing business across the EU via subsidiaries, as they face heterogeneous requirements, a proliferation of regulatory agencies and “gold plating” of EU legislation by national authorities. Fourth, limitations on data storing and processing create high compliance costs and hinder the creation of large, integrated data sets for training AI models. This fragmentation puts EU companies at a disadvantage relative to the US, which relies on the private sector to build vast data sets, and China, which can leverage its central institutions for data aggregation. This problem is compounded by EU competition enforcement possibly inhibiting intra-industry cooperation. Finally, multiple different national rules in public procurement generate high ongoing costs for cloud providers. The net effect of this burden of regulation is that only larger companies – which are often non-EU based – have the financial capacity and incentive to bear the costs of complying. Young innovative tech companies may choose not to operate in the EU at all." More: commission.europa.eu/document/downl….

Det er dyrtid her i Norge og mange folk sliter økonomisk - sier politikerne. Ulikheten og køene til matsentralene har økt. MEN, Kronprinsesse Mette-Marit har altså på seg en kjole til en prislapp på over 100.000 kroner 🥵🙉😬 minmote.no/mote/brud/a/Xj…

From coal to green energy! 🌿 We´re closing our last coal-fired plant on 31 Aug, taking a huge step towards being fossil-free by 2025. Read the press release: orsted.com/en/media/news/… #Greenenergy #orsted

I Danske @Orsted (tidligere DONG = Dansk Olje og Gas) er de så langt i år oppe på 97% Fornybar Energiproduksjon med mål om 99% i 2025. I Norske @EquinorASA er tallet for fornybar energiproduksjon 0,15%. Samtidig nedskalere #Equinor på fornybar fordi det er «for dyrt» 🤦‍♂️🤔
