Cómo ver el cometa Lemmon, ya distinguible a simple vista En estos días se puede ver con nitidez desde España y México, sin necesidad de prismáticos, el cometa Lemmon, que tarda más de 1300 años en dar una vuelta al Sol.

Hoy, al anochecer, aléjate de las luces de la ciudad para ver el cometa Lemmon a simple vista: ¡tardará más de 1000 años en volver a acercarse a la Tierra! Aquí las instrucciones para encontrarlo:

Exclusive: BYD considers Germany for third plant in Europe Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD is considering Germany for a possible third assembly plant in Europe, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters, after the region's biggest economy and car market opposed EU tariffs on China-made EVs last year.

Oh BYD is already up and running in EU, seeing premium models more frequently on the streets.

Per Reuters : According to estimates by S&P Global Mobility, BYD's European sales will more than double this year to 186,000 units, from 83,000 units in 2024.

Here's an example:

RICE is largely pointless.

When it's difficult to make a decision, it means the options are basically the same.

In product, results are not distributed linearly—they're logarithmic.
Some things deliver 100x or 1000x more impact than others.

Inside Elon Musk’s ‘Digital Coup’ Musk’s loyalists at DOGE have infiltrated dozens of federal agencies, pushed out tens of thousands of workers, and siphoned millions of people’s most sensitive data. The next step: Unleash the AI.

Today we're publishing a monster feature that dives deep into the initial six weeks over Elon Musk's government takeover. Our entire newsroom came together to help make this story happen. Read this culmination of our blood, sweat, and tears:

John Oliver’s Content Moderation Episode Isn’t Just Funny — It’s Absolutely Accurate Here was a fun surprise last night. John Oliver just delivered what might be the most accessible and accurate mainstream takedown of content moderation myths we’ve seen yet. The latest episod…

Also wrote about the John Oliver episode and how it was basically a much funnier, more well produced version of a bunch of Techdirt articles from recent years. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/24/j...

NEW: Macron has to interrupt Trump and correct a lie about Europe’s contribution.

TRUMP: “Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back."

MACRON: “No. We provided real money. To be clear.”

Trump clearly not used to get fact-checked live.

Streetartwall. The beautiful mural of two young women was sprayed/painted on a street wall in a naive painting style. Two blue and one pink cloud were sprayed on the brown brick wall as a background for the two girls. They are depicted with blue skin and long pink hair. The two are standing next to each other in pink and blue patterned dresses. One is looking over her shoulder at the viewer, the other is looking into the face of the other. A beautiful couple. The mural is somewhat hidden in a narrow alley. Info: Born in Lima (Peru), the artist "Bronik" currently lives in Australia, but has been at home all over the world with her street art since 2009. Her very feminine murals in a naive painting style live from their unique characters and the choice of color compositions with wonderful little details.
