The founder of CXMT learned semiconductors working in Silicon Valley, then returned to China and built CXMT by hiring foreign experts to train Chinese talent. This illustrates the difference between the US and Chinese approaches to 'skilled immigration.' 
The US version - admitting millions of people and training them - destroys the domestic talent pipeline and diffuses tech to other countries; the Chinese approach, hiring a handful of world-class foreign experts and having them train Chinese, does the opposite.
Both get lumped under the rubric "skilled immigration," but they are *opposite* strategies.
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Reports of a worsening situation in the area of responsibility of the Vostok group of forces
The enemy has indeed deployed additional forces on the northern flank of the group, has stepped up attacks and is trying to continue infiltrating in small groups.
The enemy has indeed deployed additional forces on the northern flank of the group, has stepped up attacks and is trying to continue infiltrating in small groups.
At the same time, even the authors of disturbing publications note the stabilizing and counterattacking actions of our units, and in some areas there is a lack of stable control by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
We constantly pay attention, and we repeat once again: a few people in a wooded area, on the outskirts, or inside a populated area does not mean that it has been captured. Sustained control begins where the enemy is able to gain a foothold,
Five (ok, six) ways in which Nolan's Odyssey is Homeric.
1. Narrative structures: a thematic ring with multiple flashbacks and timelines that unfold and entwine. Hello Homer's Odyssey
1. Narrative structures: a thematic ring with multiple flashbacks and timelines that unfold and entwine. Hello Homer's Odyssey
2. Adapting a traditional motif of the Odysseus story (Nolan: Wooden Horse; Homer: Cyclops) and subverting it to make it the cause of Odysseus' suffering
3. Positioning the story at the end of an era. Homer's epics come at the end of the race of heroes and help explain the widening gap between mortals and immortals.
Nolan's Odyssey combines historical facts with myth to create a fantasy of the past that reflects his audience

JeH - now setting out authority for delegation from full committee to subcommittee and discussion of SOP. That makes it clear that delegation is not only permitted but it is the norm for there to be delegation. The C's complaint reference to the minutes of the committee...
[JeH now going to minutes], the REC delegated authority to the full committee, it's obviously a typo, you can't delegate from the REC to the REC, the WS of the chair of the REC says that it's a typo, explains what was in fact decided, they decided it would be a sub comm and

A guy was paying $135/month for cable TV and 4 streaming subscriptions.
His Amazon Fire TV Stick the $30 device he'd bought to watch Netflix on a hotel TV during a work trip had been sitting in a drawer since he got home. He assumed it was just a portable Netflix player. A travel accessory. Something you plug into a hotel TV and forget about.
His daughter, home from college, pulled it out of the drawer, plugged it into the living room TV, and spent 20 minutes configuring it.
She showed him 400+ free live channels playing 24/7 through Fire TV Channels news, sports, movies, cooking, true crime, kids' content. She installed 3 free streaming apps with 50,000+ movies and shows combined. She connected Alexa to his smart lights so his voice controlled the living room. She paired his Bluetooth headphones for late-night watching. She disabled the autoplay videos that were slowing down the home screen. She fixed the buffering that had plagued every streaming app for months.
He canceled cable the following Monday. His entertainment bill dropped from $135/month to $35/month. Same couch. Same TV. Same content categories. A $30 device from a drawer replaced a $1,620/year cable subscription.
Here's every setting his daughter configured 🧵

Here's every setting his daughter configured 🧵
She started by asking her father a question he couldn't answer.
"What do you actually watch on cable?"
He thought about it. Morning news while making coffee. A cooking show on weekends. Sports highlights in the evening. Whatever was on at 10 PM when he couldn't sleep. Background noise while he worked from home.
She told him to be honest about the math. He was paying $95/month for a cable package with 200+ channels. He watched content from roughly 12 of them. The other 188 channels existed to justify the bundle price. He was paying for a package designed around the idea that more channels means more value. It doesn't. It means more channels he scrolls past on the way to the same 12 he always lands on.
On top of the $95 cable bill, he was paying $23 for Netflix, $18 for Hulu, $14 for Disney+, and $16 for HBO Max. $71/month in streaming subscriptions some of which duplicated content he already had on cable, and some of which he'd subscribed to for a single show months ago and never canceled.
$166/month total. $1,992/year. For a television.
She told him the Fire TV Stick in his drawer could replace the cable entirely, reduce the streaming subscriptions from 4 to 1, and add capabilities he didn't know existed all for a device that cost $30 and had been collecting dust since a business trip to Minneapolis.
Here are the 11 things she set up.

Here are the 11 things she set up.
Setup 1: She opened Fire TV Channels and his cable replacement was already installed.
This was the first thing she showed him because it addressed his biggest fear about cutting the cord losing live television.
She pressed the Live TV button on the Fire TV remote. Fire TV Channels opened Amazon's built-in free ad-supported streaming television service that aggregates over 400 live channels from multiple content providers into a single cable-style guide.
Live news from ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Bloomberg, Reuters, and CNN headlines. Sports highlights and analysis from Stadium, beIN Sports, and MLB. Classic movie channels running 24/7 marathons. Cooking channels. True crime documentaries. Kids' cartoons. Music video streams. Comedy reruns. Reality TV.
All live. All free. All ad-supported roughly 4 minutes of ads per hour, comparable to cable. No subscription. No sign-up. No account creation. Already installed on every Fire TV device ever sold.
She scrolled through the guide with him. He found a live Bloomberg feed he watches every morning. He found a cooking channel that matched the one he watched on cable every weekend. He found a classic movies channel running films he hadn't seen in 20 years.
He sat there for 10 seconds and said: "This has been on the device the entire time?"
It had. Since the day he bought it. Amazon includes Fire TV Channels on every Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Cube, and Fire TV-equipped television sold worldwide. The channel guide is accessible through a single button press on the remote. He'd owned the device for 14 months, used it once in a hotel, and put it in a drawer without ever pressing the Live TV button.

1. The first mention indicates the involvement with Gates and BARDA to "scale-up vaccines". BARDA stands for Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.
2. The second notable mention is also about vaccines. He mentions Trevor Mundel as well: President of Global Health at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
3. The third notable mention is about calls every 2 weeks with "businessman" Bill Gates about vaccines. Regeneron, Lilly, etc. refers to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN) and Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly or LLY) are two major U.S. biopharmaceutical companies.
Your blood sugar can look completely normal while insulin resistance is silently getting worse.
Why? Your pancreas may be working overtime to hide it.
Here are 6 everyday habits that push your cells toward insulin resistance:
1. Drinking your sugar.

Here are 6 everyday habits that push your cells toward insulin resistance:
1. Drinking your sugar.
1. DRINKING YOUR SUGAR
Sugary fruit drinks, soda, sweet tea and energy drinks deliver glucose and fructose rapidly, with little satiety.
In Internal Medicine, I ask about drinks first: repeated excess can promote liver fat and hepatic insulin resistance.

2. SITTING FOR HOURS
Patients often ask me, “Dr Priyam, I exercise for an hour, why does sitting matter?”
Skeletal muscle is your biggest glucose sink. Long inactive hours reduce post-meal glucose clearance.
My advice: walk 10–15 minutes after meals.

1/ Russia has doubled the rate of personal income tax to cover the budget deficits caused by the war in Ukraine. However, as a gloomy Russian commentary notes, it's likely to have dire effects on the economy and the country's already declining demographics. ⬇️
2/ 'Political Report' writes:
"In 2025, Russian authorities doubled personal income tax collection at rates exceeding 13%, turning citizens' incomes and savings into one of the fastest-growing sources of budget deficit financing."
