Ach Mist, das war's dann wohl mit meinen Statistiken zu #Mastodon als Trafficquelle für @heiseonline:
Hab gerade bemerkt, dass die schönen neuen Vorschaukarten den URL-Parameter abschneiden, über den wir überhaupt erfahren, dass Besuche von hier kommen. Je mehr Instanzen diese neue Vorschau nun anzeigen, desto mehr Einstiege werden darüber kommen und für uns nicht mehr erkennbar.
Weiß nicht, ob wir das überhaupt beheben können/wollen.
NEW: Food prices in Europe have been soaring. Earlier this year, the Austrian government said it would build a price database to let people compare costs at different supermarkets. It said this would take months to make and only include a small number of product categories.
Within 2 hours, @badlogic had built a first prototype, pulling the data from supermarket's websites, and open sourced the project. Now Heisse Preise lists 177,000 products from 10 chains.
The transparency has allowed prices to be compared: and the results appear to show supermarkets are watching each other and adjusting their prices based on others. The competition authority is investigating and already said new laws should make supermarkets publish proper APIs with full item data
A start-up biotechnology company says it received the okay for its investigational new drug application of an anti-viral drug to treat a whole class of seasonal flu strains.
The White House unveiled a new climate jobs training program that it says could put 20,000 people to work in its first year on projects like restoring land, improving communities' resilience to natural disasters and deploying clean energy.
NPR reports: "The American Climate Corps is modeled after a program that put millions to work during the Great Depression."

Charles SynyardIs the man with the Simon Bolivar whiskers Argentina’s next leader? “Far-right Milei comes out ahead in Argentina presidential primary”. https://archive.ph/yvA27 https://archive.ph/qUeTU https://archive.ph/gaTIC Libertarian Javier Milei may not win in October, but both other candidates making the second round, Federal Peronist Sergio Massa and conservative liberal Patricia Bullrich, hail from Right of center. In the Anglosphere it has been below the fold news, but Argentina has become a Venezuela-style economic wreck, with triple-digit inflation and 40% below the poverty level, so it is no wonder the leftist Peronist tendency got completely wiped out. Whoever wins will be a marked improvement over Alberto Fernandez. The hype fixates on Austrian school devotee Milei, but he seems like a mixed bag. Says one article above, “Among other things, Milei has said that he wants to abolish the Central Bank, ban abortion, liberalize the sale of arms and open up a market for the sale of human organs.” Normally abolishing the central bank would be great, but he doesn’t mean to issue Argentine “United States Notes”, he wants to abolish the peso and just use the dollar, not a sovereigntist plank. A promise to codify protections for preborn life are good, but politicians are usually unwilling or unable to act on it in the face of “rights”. On the other hand he could probably succeed in expanding firearm ownership, then sit back as the murder rate drops as the bodies of crooks pile up, as in Bolsonaro’s Brazil. Given our wariness of libertarianism, best for voters to consider all three candidates carefully. After this cursory glance I might incline to Massa, as the legacy of Juan Peron badly needs to be rescued from the European-style socialists who have made it theirs for so long. #Argentina#ArgentineElection2023#ArgentineElection#JavierMilei#Milei#SergioMassa#Massa#PatriciaBullrich#Bullrich#AlbertoFernandez#Peronism#libertarianism#libertarian#SouthernCone#SouthAmerica#news E0D13815-B206-4AC8-8690-D314F7FB1C2F.jpeg
