@ngahpham Mourning a dictator of single-party communist state misses the point that "communist ideals" are ethically repulsive, don't work, and the CPV is a criminal org oppressing ordinary Vietnamese people. Due to Trong & co, VN is one of the poorest and least free countries in ASEAN.
A major assassination in Ukraine
Iryna Farion, a prominent and controversial linguist and right-wing Ukrainian politician, was assassinated and died today in Lviv. To me, this is likely a Russian attempt to destabilize Ukraine, given their lack of progress on the frontlines 1/

$IDA Executive Chair, Bronwyn Barnes spoke about the story of the Ntaka Hill Nickel Project in Tanzania. In 2018, Tanzania revoked the mining licenses, stopping Indiana Resources and its subsidiaries from controlling the project. Bronwyn talked about the timeline of this case, details from the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (@icsid ) findings, the decision to pay Indiana Resources US$109.5 million in damages and what comes next. A fascinating story.

The Australian actuary beat 14 opponents in various 30-minute case study challenges.
Funniest part: this clip of live-stream announcers losing their minds over pivot tables and data labeling.
What did Ngai get for winning? A $15k cash prize and a glorious Wrestling Championship Belt 😂
Columbia University students discussing how great of a feat the October 7th Hamas massacre was.
Seems like they are all very content with the 1000 murdered civilians.
They also praised Mao, which makes sense since the evidently like mass-murderers
These schools are operated by UNRWA, the United Nations organization that takes care of Palestinian refugees.
US taxpayers fund about 20% to 25% of the budget for these schools.
