Bets on how SCOTUS will rule on Trump’s tariffs?

Somehow the autism question is now about something that women do, when the only known causal association is something that men do - have kids late in life, with women who may or may not be much younger.

Don’t worry, the baggy 1990s suits are back in style now! You can jump from rooftop to rooftop in those.

No. The US did the basic research but preferred that a Dutch company holds the key tech over a Japanese company share.google/gLaZyhnMvdoY...

ASML’s success is based on US patents applied by brilliant Dutch engineers, so not quite what you want to convey here

Punk Rock only became bearable because American kids who had learned how to actually play their instruments in a different genre decided to play Punk for fun.

Germany has 2x the population of California, China has… too hard to calculate in my head right now. Stunning.

Exactly! When you a have a time series and at the end, it drops off like this, it’s good practice to wait and see

If you look at the trend, it doesn’t look like statins were even a major factor. And how would they if they only reduce the absolute risk by a few percent? My money would be on people giving up smoking making the biggest difference

Why the heck do I get so many cat pictures in “Discover.” I’m not a cat person.

Group 1 consists of some who believe that it’s fine if everyone is very progressive because they’re fighting a battle, and others who think that academics are just a bit to the left of most voters and that it isn’t a problem. The latter have no idea what voters really think.

@epsanet.bsky.social Excellent conference at Carlos III, but to whoever decided on the numbering of the rooms: the whole point of integers is that they’re consecutive in an agreed upon order

Military Keynesianism! If only there were enough young Germans to make this work…

Even America can’t do without Microsoft products, and they at least have the software industry to develop alternatives in principle. The uni forces them down our throats almost.

Nothing that a carbon tax can’t solve

“The Coming War with Japan” can now be had used for $1.60 on Amazon… things shall pass

… and that’s before they realize that they’d have to take a 30-40% pay cut

Chance verpasst: „Bundeswehr setzt auf neue Wunderwaffe gegen Putins Super-Rakete“ hätte noch mehr historische Resonanz gehabt 😆

I suspect this is driven by TikTok. I reset my feed twice a while ago and first I got alpaca clips, and then capybaras the second time. Why, I still don’t know…

Ok but why did it take until 2025? Two winters on the tarmac in Toronto aren’t great for a plane

Das ist in den USA und Kanada auch völlig normal. Manchmal aus banalen Gründen wie „die Kommission konnte sich nicht entscheiden.“

PostmodernBERT… purely intersubjective embeddings

Ich saß mal in einem Theoretischen Seminar bei einer Zentralbank und dachte genau das: für jede/n hier neben mir gibt es eine/n der ganz weit weg vom Durchschnitt ist, aber in die falsche Richtung

Und wenn das Ministerium jetzt ein Sonderprogramm auflegt, dann könnten ca. 2032 noch ein oder zwei neue Lehrstühle geschaffen werden, also zum Ende der ersten Amtszeit von Trump Jr…

Reminder that US imports are only ~13% of the global total and that this isn’t the end of the world unless you’re in the US (or right next door)

Last time they tried that, the tanks were over engineered and wouldn’t start when it was -40C in the Russian steppe

As I just discovered, 30-40% of Canadian exporters didn’t use the USMCA tariffs because of the paperwork. I guess the utilization rate will go up now?

Apparently there are no tariffs on goods that have a tariff line covered by the USMCA and that comply with the rules of origin?

If you ever change your research focus because you’re bored by it, you’ll be treated to a decade of review requests on things to thought you’d left behind
