    „Trump wants to move on, but to do so he desperately needs some short-term concessions from Iran to justify his having launched this war. Tehran is not inclined to offer those concessions; after all, this fight is existential for them, not for the Americans. That means that negotiations between Washington and Tehran will be shaped less by the balance of military power and …

  3. A quotation from Hyman Rickover

    Another principle for successful application of a sophisticated technology is to resist the human inclination to hope that things will work out, despite evidence or suspicions to the contrary. This may seem obvious, but it is a human factor you must be conscious of and actively guard against. It can affect you in subtle ways, particularly when you have spent a lot of time and energy on a project and feel personally responsible for it, and thus somewhat possessive. It is a common human problem and it is not easy to admit what you thought was correct did not turn out that way.

    Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) American naval engineer, submariner, US Navy Admiral
    Essay (1979-05-24), Statement before the Subcommittee on Energy Research and Production, Committee on Science and Technology, US House of Representatives

  4. Thrilled to share that my article has been accepted for publication by The Geopolitical Economist; it's my first piece published by them.

    From the article: "How damaging will an unstable and chaotic U.S. be. How globally catastrophic when our worst impulses no longer connect with our ideals."

  10. Gotta say I really think #microsoft, #google, and #meta have made a terrible #strategic #miscalculation with their sweeping #layoffs.

    They’ve pushed out people in areas of their companies who have deep knowledge about #competitive #vulnerabilities (think: products, not security…) and deep biz/ops experience.

    There are going to be a lot of new startups out for blood, going after the juiciest parts of these businesses. You can practically hear ppl sharpening their claws at this very moment…

  11. It is clear that #twitter is now 4chan since @elonmusk
    took over.

    #Scientists & scientifically minded people will not stay on this platform, nor should they.

    If only media people could kick their addiction too, Twitter would be dead already, instead of dragging it out for #clicks

    The #miscalculation from rightwing culture warriors is always that they think they can coerce #intellectuals and #scientists into submission by owning their forums.
