I'm also leaving Twitter; I never got used to X, especially the changes that made threads/discussions useless. With recent @elonmusk behaviours it's time to leave. Looking forward to seeing you on BlueSky: https://t.co/tYvpOwYwuy

Okay. Thanks for the nerd snipe guys. I spent the day learning exactly how DeepSeek trained at 1/30 the price, instead of working on my pitch deck. The tl;dr to everything, according to their papers:
According to Western Intelligence Officials, Two Iranian Ships currently docked in the Chinese Port of Taicang, the M/V Golbon and the M/V Jairan, will soon depart from China to deliver over 1,000 Tons of Sodium Perchlorate, one of the Main Ingredients in the production of Solid-Fuel for Ballistic Missiles, to Iran. The Iranians, who lost most of their Solid-Fuel Production as a result of Israeli Strikes in 2024, are expected to be able to produce at least 260 Medium/Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles using the Sodium Perchlorate on the Two Vessels. Both Ships already under U.S. Sanctions, though this Sale could cause the U.S. Treasure Department to also target the Chinese Companies involved in providing Iran with the Chemicals.

This is actually a good thing because it means that the Santa Ana winds have subsided to a point where fire fighting aircraft can be flown. Please pray for the victims of these catastrophic wildfires.
In the 1960s, MIT Professor Jay Forrester created something that changed the way we think about supply chains—The Beer Game.
This game is a simple simulation, but it messed with the minds of thousands.

Een spotprent in de Washington Post wordt afgewezen, de rijkste man ter wereld koopt wereldwijde macht en invloed, en in Nederland vindt 42% van de stemmers van de grootste partij een dictatuur wel prima. Ik mis de tijd dat ook rechts zich om zulke zaken opwond.

Agree. Trump is no Hitler. But he is fascist in the scholarly sense of the word and wresting back democracy after you voted a fascist into power is hard.
Democracy is not a given. It's an instable balance that needs continuous work and educated voters.

As @polecon rightfully says: now it's Musk, Murdoch and Bezos, but then it was Alfred Hugenberg who helped Hitler to power with his money and media.
If you haven't heard about Alfred Hugenberg yet, now would be a good time to read his Wikipedia entry.

Dit zijn mijn mensen van het jaar: zij die durven, opstaan, onbevreesd de confrontatie aangaan, en volhouden wanneer de rest van de wereld hen aan hun lot overlaat. https://t.co/qC6eB08aO1
