Oburu Odinga delivers a very emotional message.
You can imagine, as a patient he's aware that some shameless people have been wishing him death and mocking him over his illness. Too bad. Not even Aoko alone, most of you were posting senseless things. SAD.

@LegalEzra Can barely find the Ugandan brand on shelves too. If you ask attendants they say its also not available.
The blame is definitely somewhere else

Be Volkswagen.

> The year is 1937.
> Adolf Hitler wants an affordable car for ordinary Germans.
> Ferdinand Porsche is commissioned to help develop it.
> Establish a company under the Nazi regime.
> Build an enormous factory.
> Build an entire town around it.
> Call it Wolfsburg.
> Then World War II begins.
> Your factory turns to military production and uses forced labour.
> Germany loses the war.
> Your future is uncertain.

1945 arrives.

> The British take control of your damaged factory.
> Major Ivan Hirst helps restart production.
> Manage just 55 civilian cars by the end of the year.
> Struggle with shortages of steel, coal and even food.
> Keep the assembly lines running.
> Perfect a little car called the Beetle.
> Export it across Europe, then America.
> By 1972, you've built over 15 million Beetles.
> Your name is recognized across continents.

But the car that built your empire is getting old.

> Competitors have moved ahead.
> Abandon your beloved air-cooled, rear-engine design.
> Launch the Golf in 1974.
> Reinvent your entire product philosophy.
> Master turbocharged engines, diesel technology and advanced transmissions.
> Build a reputation for German engineering.
> Acquire and develop brands from Audi and Skoda to Porsche and Lamborghini.
> Share engines, platforms and components across millions of cars.
> Spend billions refining technologies competitors struggle to replicate.
> Turn decades of engineering into an enormous industrial advantage.

Then comes China.

> Enter the market in the 1980s.
> Help establish its modern automobile manufacturing industry, ToT
> Bring technology, machinery and German production expertise.
> Start with the Santana.
> Sell approximately 337,000 vehicles in China in 2000.
> Build factories and develop local suppliers.
> Chinese incomes rise.
> Your sales rise with them.
> Reach nearly 2 million annual deliveries in 2010.
> China becomes your greatest growth engine.
> By 2019, you're selling 4.23 million vehicles there.

Meanwhile, something extraordinary is happening.

> In 2000, China exports only around 22,000 automobiles.
> Germany exports approximately 3.5 million passenger cars.
> You're helping build an automotive industry in a country that barely exports cars of its own.
> Business couldn't look much better.

Then the first cracks appear.
2015

> Get caught manipulating diesel emissions tests.
> Around 11 million vehicles worldwide are implicated.
> Face billions in penalties and a damaged reputation.
> But keep expanding anyway.
> Reach almost 11 million global deliveries in 2019.
> Generate €253 billion in annual revenue.
> Employ roughly 668,000 people.
> Become one of the largest automotive groups on Earth.

You've reached the summit.

> But the automobile industry is changing underneath you.
> Electric cars need fewer of the mechanical systems you've spent generations perfecting.
> Batteries, electronics and software become increasingly important.
> European emissions rules tighten too fast.
> Spend billions developing electric platforms.
> Software problems delay important models.
> Then Russia invades Ukraine in 2022.
> Germany's old cheap energy supply model fractures.
Industrial costs rise.
> Meanwhile, China has built an enormous battery and EV manufacturing ecosystem.
> Its manufacturers offer increasingly competitive cars at lower prices.
> Your biggest growth market becomes your toughest competitive battleground.

The year is 2026.

> Your global deliveries have fallen to around 9 million in 2025.
> China sales are down from 4.23 million in 2019 to 2.69 million in 2025.
> Third-quarter 2026 China deliveries plunge another 38.5% year on year.
> Your 2025 operating profit falls 53% to €8.9 billion.
> Operating margin shrinks to 2.8%.
> Agree to cut more than 35,000 jobs in Germany by 2030.
> The factories that once symbolised endless expansion are being restructured.
> Meanwhile, China exported roughly 7 million vehicles in 2025.
> More than double Germany's passenger-car exports.
> Europe's economy remains sluggish.
> Its population is ageing.
> Chinese competitors keep expanding abroad.

Nearly ninety years after your founding.

> You survived the destruction of Germany.
> Reinvented yourself when the Beetle became obsolete.
> Spent generations perfecting the combustion engine automobile.
> Built an industrial empire across continents.
> Helped develop the Chinese car industry.
> And now face some of your fiercest competition from the very country that made you enormously successful.

For decades, the world paid a premium for the German engineering you had mastered.

Now the industry is shifting toward technologies where much of that old advantage no longer guarantees success.

You've reinvented yourself before.
But this time, the world isn't waiting for Volkswagen to catch up.

Why are honeycomb cells hexagonal instead of circular or square?

Because hexagons fit together without gaps while using less wall material than squares of the same area.

In 1999, mathematician Thomas C. Hales proved the honeycomb conjecture, showing that a hexagonal tiling minimizes total perimeter among equal area partitions of a plane.

Bees don’t calculate the mathematics. Packing, their building behavior and the physics of warm beeswax help produce this remarkably efficient structure.

this quant paper is f*cking insane

it's pretty much the 12-step checklist hedge funds go through before they ever place a trade.

every step, every formula, full Python code, all of it spelled out.

drop it into Claude and you could have a working trading system by tonight.

the crazy part is most people are trading blind while this entire framework has been out in the open the whole time.

full breakdown in the article below.

bookmark it before this thread gets buried.
