Cum explică Sebastian Burduja că a acceptat să fie consilier al premierului: Pentru mine, serviciul public este o misiune - HotNews.ro „Reforma statului și reforma lumii politice trebuie să continue, dacă vrem să avem șansa de a face România bine”, afirmă liberalul Sebastian Burduja, într-un

Guvernul ca trapă rotativă: abia dispare un sfertodoct fudul, că răsare altul, cu ecuson de consilier și misiune divină.
Cât despre PM… e pleavă: fără coloană sau logică, dar cu simțul prăbușirii bine exersat — cade impecabil, la orice adiere de presiune.

New Method Is the Fastest Way To Find the Best Routes | Quanta Magazine A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the classic algorithm taught in textbooks.

For the first time in four decades, a new algorithm has improved upon the speed limit for calculating the fastest route to every point in a network. @benbenbrubaker.bsky.social‬ reports: www.quantamagazine.org/new-method-i...

The EU is a colossus. So why is it cowering before Trump like a mouse? | Alexander Hurst With its woeful trade deal, Europe prostrated itself before the president. We need a leader who will tell him where to shove it, says Guardian Europe columnist Alexander Hurst

Brilliant @theguardian.com Europe columnist’s take: EU knelt so hard it’s a face-plant festival—any Commission chief hopefuls bold enough to tell Trump to stick his tariffs where the sun doesn’t dare shine? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

N-am avut niciodată vreo simpatie faţă de Ion Iliescu (m-a surprins că unii, ex ante cu discernământ, e.g., Buzura, îl adulau, cel puţin în public). E însă revelator că nici un preşedinte de după el n-a fost—nici măcar ɛ—mai lucid sau competent: dimpotrivă. Asta e tragedia...

Asta după ce decretase că „cercetătorii patrioţi din diaspora să facă bine să revină în ţară pentru 100$/lună”. Amuzant, văzându-mă la televizor lângă Nea Ion, unii le-au zis ex post alor mei: „dacă şi Sebi se dă cu Iliescu, totul e pierdut”. Filmul nu avea sonor—sau scântei.

L-am întâlnit pe Iliescu în 2004 la Sinaia, când s-a arătat iritat la prezentarea mea http://www.sebastian... (a lucrării http://www.sebastian...). Atât de mult încât mi-a spus că aş fi fost un agent al unui „fost imperiu care a supt tot ce a putut de la ţări precum România”.

Kiddo’s first day at school in Santiago—skipping right into Segundo Básico’s second semester—was unforgettable: she poured energy & enthusiasm into a vibrant “Hola” drawing for her classmates and teacher, only to find they’d all made their own “Bienvenue” art for her! ¡Qué bacán!

I did stake one of my NL PhD defense ‘stellingen’ on @arielrubinstein.bsky.social’s quip "A paper in Economics which is not rejected should not be published" (& defended it!). He always saw models as stylized fables, each assumption a Chekhov’s gun: fire at will!

A union shackled by one dissent is Versailles reborn, echoing @garrykasparov.bsky.social and @glandsbergis.bsky.social: unanimity cripples EU. Weaponizing integration is unpalatable, yet when dialogue deadlocks, sterner steps beckon. Time to grease Monnet’s engine with bold overhaul and surge ahead.

"[M]ost of all, we need leaders who understand that losing the game fairly is far more honorable than winning by force.
Why so? Because when presidents flip the board, it’s not just a game that ends. It’s the pieces of democracy that get scattered to the floor."

When economists have to beg elected officials to respect statistical independence, you don’t hear democracy’s cadence but its death clangor. Maybe this is the warning call of a collapsing empire. Maybe America’s already halfway there. When truth dies, tyranny marches… and we’re living in its shadow.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

This is blatantly not about methodology—it's about owning reality. Like Ceaușescu inflating harvests before him, Trump warps facts to flatter power. When the office of the presidency declares itself judge of the truth, democracy rots into theater, and expertise is strangled in a velvet-gloved farce.

Dublă istorică pentru #DavidPopovici! După aurul de la 200 m, înotătorul nostru a repetat performanţa şi în proba de 100 m liber, la CM de Nataţie – Singapore 2025! Bravo, David! Mulţumim din suflet!

Indeed, the great Lehrer best exemplifies his own line: ‘Irreverence is easy, what’s hard is wit.’ Few wore genius so lightly—or gave it away so generously.
Earlier:

🎯 by Krugman.
The naïve media calls it like a game: 'Trump wins, EU loses!', ignoring the messy playbook. Sure, the EU fumbled (also called it: x.com/sbuhai/statu...), but the big picture’s more nuanced. Truth sounds partisan, nuance gets benched—letting Trump’s delusions run the field unchallenged.

„Scuzați-mi franchețea, dar trebuie să scoatem bățul din fund”, zise un zâmbăreț oficial. Între timp, bățul și-a dat demisia, recunoscând candid că a dat șpagă pentru dreptul de a supraviețui în selfie-ul din avionul de stat: decor obligatoriu în poza puterii. Panem et circenses!
