I know the recommendations, and also I know my friends. But maybe you are surprised about ordinary home sizes in Germany? Obviously Berlin and Vienna are a bit tighter than the rest of their respective countries.

📞 URGENT: CALL NOW — Ukraine Needs Us & So Do U.S. Citizens

We need action — not silence. Call these leaders TODAY and tell them you demand full support for Ukraine and real action on the injustices hurting Americans at home .

If you’re wondering who’s guiding our transition, it’s the best New Yorkers that money can’t buy.

If you are interested in the methodology behind the Data Workers' Inquiry Project (@dataworkersinquiry.bsky.social), this is the paper for you.

Research doesn't have to be exploitative.👇🏽

I usually just go to the link, I don't do podcasts that often, I thought if it was available on an app there'd be links (I did look for those.)

Also, if you read the entire thread, I link to the guys who make basecamp as one example of a firm offering SF salaries to remote workers. Those guys were originally Chicago. Another entirely virtual AI govtech company I know (saidot.ai) used to be located in Helsinki.

I have met people in start up scenes all over the world. Chicago, Berlin, Charlotte, Cluj (Romania, but I met New Yorkers there networking and saving money), Hong Kong… almost anywhere is cheaper than SF, and quite a lot of places have plenty of potential brilliant employees. 1/2

My own precise path of being a professor of ethics and technology at hertie school is unique, but my strategy of accepting massive reductions in salary and living space in order to do more impactful work is indeed open to all.

This is a very weird space. I have substantive conversations on linkedin and mastodon, but I read most actual content here. My best experience of twitter was 140 characters though. The more work we did compressing our ideas, the higher the payoff of reading.

Maybe I still don't understand economics. If AI is a bubble, then wouldn't that just mean half the postulated GDP is a lie? How could you bail that out? You can pay for more electricity and data, but you can't produce value that's not there?

Hasn't the USG been a) deleting some of those data sets and b) shrinking others by deleting anti-protected characteristics like gender from consideration?

I was told academics were being advised not to go to airports even for domestic flights some months ago. Even if you don't cross a border, US airports have become dangerous places.

How had I not heard that China has also had problems with returning people from space stations? The present crew has no return vehicle because the previous crew's broke so they took the present crew's. There's another just launched and hopefully EVERYONE will be able to get back after this mission.

We heard a talk @hertieschool.bsky.social a couple months ago about how NYC payphones had been converted into alleged internet hubs but were covered with cameras and who knows what other surveillance and of course they were mostly in the economically disadvantaged areas that still had payphones.

"Malevolence": James Comey warns Trump's revenge push isn't over Comey said his case was dismissed because of "incompetence," a reflection of the DOJ under Trump.

James Comey slammed President Trump's attempts to prosecute him as "fundamentally un-American," but the former FBI director said he expects the president to try again in his first statement after a judge dismissed the case today.

May everyone who’s ever done anything clandestine for Russia for money get at least 10 years in jail like this close “lieutenant” of Farage’s.

The main/only reason I look forwards to retirement.

I got interviewed by one of the editors of my local newspaper.

As someone studying unexpected events of all kinds, this was a funny (and unexpected) paper to randomly stumble upon: the presence of a man in a batman costume on a train makes passengers significantly more likely to stand up for a pregnant woman: www.nature.com/articles/s44... Good to know I guess.

so why don't any amphibians in our world have dorsal fins? It's obviously fetching on that frog!

Reasonably promising start to a Monday. #giftArticle #Ukraine #Europe #EU

Pretty well established finding that immigration raids of workplaces reduce student test performance for nearby schools, including for non-vulnerable students. The general DHS surge appears to be doing the same for student performance. www.nber.org/papers/w34452

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Women seem to retract fewer papers than men — but why? In an analysis of nearly 900 retracted medical-research studies, the number of female authors is disproportionately low.

There women go, not ruining science again 🤷‍♀️
