This moment -- our declaration of war with Iran tonight to achieve regime change -- reminds me of the beginning of our invasion of Iraq in 2003, but with 4 big differences. THREAD 1/
First, Bush and team tried to convince the UN Security Council to support military intervention. Trump did not try. 2/
Second, Bush obtained support from the US Senate for the invasion. 77 senators voted for the use of force; 23 voted no. Trump did not even try to get a vote of support. 3/

Bloomberg: "China is balancing productivity gains from AI with labor stability, as automation could displace workers and trigger an economic spiral."

I think this whole AI-will-cause-unemployment argument is very confused.

Getting workers to become more productive doesn't cause workers to be fired. In fact that's the only way to make them richer.

What really matters is whether or not wage growth for the overall economy keeps pace with productivity gains.
3/7
If they don't, growth in production will outstrip growth in consumption, and while this can temporarily be resolved by rising household debt, ultimately it means that production will be reduced and unemployment rise.

Well, looks like we have some modems to test. We better get going 😂. I'm not going to do a full "dial" test, but we will see if we can at least configure them! Time for a 🧵 Image

First things first, just like they taught in science class, always start with a baseline! So, I am going to make a copy of my Windows 98 installation so that we don't foul up the main install, and we'll check out device manager. Looking good! Let's roll. Image

First modem out the gate is this Creative Modem Blaster V.90 PCI DI5655. We are going to use the Pacman PC to do the testing since it has a very convenient shared ISA/PC slot. In it goes! Image

China's official statistics report a 0.3% drop in CO2 emissions from energy&industry in 2025, the third time that annual emissions have fallen this century and the first fall predominantly driven by clean energy growth. Image
Coal consumption grew 0.1%, oil consumption 3.6% and gas consumption 2%, while non-fossil energy use grew 14%. Yet, after subtracting non-energy use, total fossil energy consumption fell 0.4%, showing how chemical industry demand drove fossil fuel use.
Power generation from carbon-free sources grew 14%, covering all of the 4.8% growth in total power generation and pushing thermal power (coal, gas and biomass) down 0.7%. Image

Microdosing GLP1a/GIP agonists

Lots of interest in this topic. Particularly with @dysclinic publishing a case report showing improvement in POTS

I generally try to optimize my pts bowels and POTS before starting these drugs. I have seen improvement in POtS but
It’s always hard to know if the POtS is improving because the MCAS is (and the MCAS was driving the POTS)
Or the weight gain leads to better nutrition which helps autonomic function.
So is it a direct effect by improving the vagovagal reflex or via indirect mechanisms?
One are I have noticed success is in those pts that can’t tolerate salt loading.

I have pts that say
Oral salt makes their head feel like it is going to explode
Or IV fluids (high in salt) or fludrocortisone (retains salt) causes swelling of ankles.

wow. NdCal just denied Facebook's attempt to dismiss securities suit for Cambridge Analytica cover-up. Court says plaintiffs credibly alleged Zuckerberg and Sandberg knew it "possessed over 40mil user profiles" way earlier. 4th amended complaint added/redacted cited evidence. /1 Image
Image
Count I, II and III now proceed, all alleged (civil) violations of 1934 SEC Act including over $5B in stock sales by Zuckerberg. This is the case Facebook already took up to SCOTUS to be denied cert. In DE, they settled similar case as director Andreessen was set to testify. /2 Image
In this case, the executive defendants are Zuckerberg, Sandberg and CFO Wehner. What is interesting is it's added new evidence squeezed out more recently in courts including Court sanctions against Sandberg for deleting "relevant emails" over a pseudonymous gmail account. /3 Image

India has been making cars since the 1950s but the motor industry has not invested adequately to have the design skills & competency sufficiently in house.

Selling cars for 6-7 decades and yet not entirely self-reliant when it comes to engines. Image
It's not about 100% self-reliance - everyone uses AVL, the Austrian engine consultancy.

Difference is: BMW uses AVL for the last 20%. Indian companies use AVL for the first 80%. The next engine needs another AVL contract. Image
Some companies shell out thousands of crores of royalties to parent companies in east Asia - sometimes more than 40% of pre-tax profits to pay for tech/engines etc.

This has come down but Indian consumers are practically funding R&D outside the country. Image
