A bitcoin mining company made more money from being paid by the Texas government not to waste electricity ($31.7M) than it did from mining bitcoin ($8.9M) in August.
This is basically another ransomware business model enabled by Bitcoin đ€Ł
Neuroscientists successfully test theory that forgetting is actually a form of learning https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-08-neuroscientists-successfully-theory.html
Adaptive expression of engrams by retroactive interference https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(23)01010-0
Highlights
âą Retroactive interference causes forgetting by the competition of two memory engrams
âą Forgotten engrams can be expressed or updated by reexposure to training cues
âą Artificial reactivation of engram cells rescues interference-induced forgetting
âą Interference is an active process that requires the activation of the suppressed engram
these findings indicate that retroactive interference modules engram expression in a manner that is both reversible and updatable. Inference may constitute a form of adaptive forgetting where, in everyday life, new perceptual and environmental inputs modulate the natural forgetting process.
Neuroscientists today report the first results from experimental tests designed to explore the idea that "forgetting" might not be a bad thing, and that it may represent a form of learningâand outline results that support their core idea.
đ ALASKA : FONTE RAPIDE D'UN GLACIER ET CRUE SOUDAINE
En Alaska, dans le grand Nord des USA, l'Ă©tat d'urgence a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©crĂ©tĂ© dans la capitale de lâĂtat, Juneau, suite aux inondations qui ont eu lieu le 5 aoĂ»t.
Le réchauffement climatique provoque des fissures dans un énorme glacier qui forme un barrage naturel en amont de la riviÚre Mendenhall. L'eau de la fonte des neiges qui s'accumule a ainsi été libérée d'un coup, et a entraßné une crue rapide et puissante qui a...

Now the #UnitedNations wants a bigger role on the reform go global #taxation, and in doing so is setting itself up against the #OECD which jealously guards this aspect of its international norm setting function...
That said, in many ways the UN looks like a more sensible place for global tax reform to be formulated, until you think about the difficulties the organisation has in driving forward other changes.
Nevertheless a UN Tax Programme (UNTP) might build on (much) earlier work by UNCTAD!
#British #Quakers (aka Religious Society of Friends) have pledged to stand by the #UK #Trans community.
The faith unites people through a belief in each personâs ability to experience the light within or âanswering that of God in everyoneâ.
âBelonging is being accepted as oneâs true self. Who are we to resist what God has created & continues to create in all their glory?"
Article also outlines the history of Quakers supporting #LGBTQ+ in other ways. đ đȘ

The authors of this Review discuss cooperative systems across all biological levels, including genomes, multicellular organisms and societies, and develop mathematical models to argue that enforcement is central to the evolution of cooperation.
