Nederland telt bijna 200 datacenters. Vorig jaar gebruikten zij 4,6 procent van alle elektriciteit in Nederland. Tennet denkt dat de vraag naar elektriciteit van datacenters de komende jaren minstens verdubbelt naar 10 tot 15 procent van het totale stroomverbruik in 2030.
nos.nl/artikel/2594...

Datacenters gebruiken enorm veel stroom: wat kost het en wat levert het op?

De grootste datacenters gebruiken bijna net zoveel stroom als een kwart van alle woningen, en dat gaat alleen nog maar groeien verwacht de landelijke netbeheerder Tennet.

Had a similar experience at the Brussels study day where I presented our work. The QRs used by colleagues also contained with links to publications, questionnaires, project sites...). I had so far only used it for extra material on a poster, but am now also contemplating a wider use.

Barbara De Cock @barbaradecock.bsky.social · Dec 15

Absolutely. As an online participant, I feel at the same time motivated and discouraged to participate next year after watching this :-) (and feeling hungry too... 😋)

Great to be able attend #LboroCADay2025 online but the disadvantage is one misses out on the legendary CAkeOff. Luckily, there are weekend leftovers to somewhat compensate.

Here’s the same data, but with trust broken down by political views (circles are trust among people on the left, +s the right).

It’s not just that the BBC is widely consumed — it also has solid trust on both left & right, whereas trust in the biggest US media brands is hugely polarised.

This paper I co-authored concerning Twitter (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) was not mainly about the impact of character limits, but we do discuss the impact of the limit on e.g. subject pronoun ellipsis or on the preference for some constructions.
