Naturforvaltning og datamodeller – lokale utfordringer med globale løsninger?
Mange av oss har vokst opp med bildeboken om geitekillingen som kunne tellet til ti[1]. Historien ble skrevet av Alf Prøysen en gang for snart 70 år siden.

Kenya’s northern coast is rich with coral reefs, seagrass, and mangroves. All at the core of local ocean life and tourism. But as coastal towns grew, so did the wastewater challenges. @wcs.org and Sanivation came to the rescue. #OceanConservation #BlueEconomy

Jeg syns handelsbalansen med REMA-butikken nede i gata er helt feil. Jeg har derfor bestemt meg for å legge en straffetoll på 50% på alle varene jeg kjøper fra REMA. Tollen går til borettslaget, det er bare rett og rimelig.

Murstein eller høyteknologisk krigsmaskin? Litt begge deler? Tankevekkende artikkel i Morgenbladet skrevet av @hannejakobsen.bsky.social
Moderne våpen er i stor grad datamaskiner, avhengige av logistikk og styringssystemer for å fungere. Dette gjelder ikke minst for de høyteknologiske F35-flyene. Forsvaret kaller dem en sentral del av norsk forsvarsevne. Er også de sårbare for amerikansk kaos? (M+) @hannejakobsen.bsky.social
Kan amerikanerne sette norske F35-fly på bakken?
De norske kampflyene er flyvende datamaskiner, og amerikanerne har kontroll over deler av programvaren. – Vi har et tett og godt samarbeid, sier Forsvaret.

Tesla-aksjen raser. Skulle selskapet implodere, blir det ikke bare eierne som får seg en trøkk – men også bilene, så tett integrert som de er med selskapet. Dersom serverne slukker, blir forskjellen mellom en Tesla og en murstein bare et spørsmål om størrelse. #tesla

Disturbing news on the geospatial side of the war in Ukraina.
Per @hissgoescobra.bsky.social
"Evidence suggests that the Russians are using American satellite imagery to target Ukraine in long-range strikes. At the same time that Ukrainians are cutoff from even commercial US satellite imagery such as Maxar (by the way, f*ck you Maxar)."
