Should You Tokenise Yourself?

Posted by in categories: futurism, internet

Once the over-excitement recedes we might be able to get a better understanding of what, or who, is creating real value. Bronwyn Williams, a trends analyst and futurist who also serves as Chief Commercial Officer at Carbon Based Lifeforms was keen to stress that as we shift from the Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 world, we are shifting from demonetization to the re-monetization of the digital commons. By that she means, that with Web 2.0 the modus operandum was the offer of services … See more.

Sunspot Activity on The Sun Is Seriously Exceeding Official Predictions

Posted by in category: space

Weather predictions here on Earth are more accurate than they’ve ever been; trying to predict the behavior of our wild and wacky Sun is a little more tricky.

Case in point: according to official predictions, the current cycle of solar activity should be mild. But the gap between the prediction and what’s actually happening is pretty significant – and it’s getting wider. Sunspot counts, used as a measure for solar activity, are way higher than the predicted values calculated by the NOAA, NASA, and the International Space Environmental Service.

In fact, sunspot counts have been consistently higher than predicted levels since September 2020. This could mean that, in contrast to predictions, the Sun is in the swing of an unusually strong activity cycle.
