I've said this before, but part of why I continue to be bleak on prospects of prompt war termination are because Iran has *very strong incentives* to continue pain infliction (against the US/Israel/GCC and the broader world) to deter a future war by credibly communicating the magnitude of costs.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

DAIR even develops a lot of those types of tools to study social media harms. The lumping of so many things under the "AI" umbrella makes discourse about the specific things that are harmful vs useful difficult.

Homes being considered investment vehicles is a massive, underappreciated problem. You have a house because you need a house. It doesn't need to pad your networth.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

Almost every “successful” AI use case involves knocking the first rungs out of a career ladder, but those are the very positions our students desperately need to become acculturated into the professional spaces that will eventually require experienced professionals to replace the current cohort.

If you want to add my book on Goodreads, it's here: www.goodreads.com/book/show/19... But in all seriousness: Vance's comments + Rubio's announcement about revoking the visas of Chinese students => history repeating itself. Qian was deported after wrongly accused of being a spy by the USG.

A lot of people know about the Germans in the space program, but the more relevant engineer might be Qian Xuesen, the MIT/CalTech aerospace professor who co-founded JPL and was sent to recruit the Germans. We deported him the 1950s. He became the leader of China’s missile program.

Golombok has even found that parents in nonconventional family structures tend to be more involved than straight, married parents on average, probably because they are more likely to have deliberately chosen parenthood.

They're placing probationary employees on paid administrative leave and giving them back pay. Basically, taxpayers are paying for a bunch of federal employees to do nothing for a month and counting. I don't have an MBA so maybe someone can explain to me how this improves efficiency.

Fired employees expressed excitement about the prospect of reinstatement, as well as back pay. But there’s no template for rehiring en masse.
