On Tuesday, PJM's system could face one of its highest stress moments of the year, as system-wide capacity saturation is forecast to exceed 170 GW

📉 Bot traffic from Yandex’s network has dropped to almost zero after an Ukrainian attack on a data center in Vladimir. This is the third attack on Yandex’s data centers since October 8.

Bot traffic is automatic requests to websites from programs — search crawlers, services, parsers.

A proposed Canadian law would penalize social media platforms for failing to crack down on content that promotes self-harm and disordered eating to a child.

But what if that child went elsewhere on the internet, and found a pro-suicide forum offering advice on how to take their own life?

Communists in Moscow chanted anti-Putin slogans at a permitted march… leading to ~20 arrests.

No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.
