@AlexBurnsHoops @ShamsCharania @TheSteinLine @JakeLFischer @sam_amick @BucksLead No way the fan base will put up with giving up Giannis for the picks they gave up for Dame who is now back in Portland. They will call for the GM’s head. Also the Spurs, Rockets and Hawks packages are way better. Even the Sixers’ package is better. Those GSW picks could be lotto.

I have a simple heuristic

buy stuff that will cost max €1/usage.

like:
- boxer shorts: €20-30, will i use them 30 times? great.
- pants: €70-150. will i use them 70 times? yes. 150 times? only if daily use.
- suit: tricky. a good suit costs €500+. I will never use it 500 times, so i avoid buying it. the times that i do, i badger myself.
- computer: say €2500. has to last me 6.5 years of daily usage.
- house: say €500k. i won't live that long (365 years) but also it retains value well..

ofc, tying things to cost isn't necessarily a good thing, you want to invest in yourself and in your business.

but i find it a good heuristic.

🇪🇺 ELON CALLS FOR FIDIAS TO LEAD THE EU

Elon voiced support for Fidias Panayiotou, a 25 year old Cypriot YouTuber who has entered the European Parliament.

The support followed a video from Fidias questioning the process behind Ursula von der Leyen’s re election and arguing it lacked democratic accountability.

The post spread across X and drew wide attention.

Fidias has positioned himself as an outsider in Brussels, calling for direct elections, large cuts to EU bureaucracy, and stronger protections for online free speech.

He has gained attention for challenging how EU leadership is selected and for openly criticizing institutional decision making.

The message is straightforward. Leadership should be accountable to voters rather than decided through closed political structures.

@TedPillows A lot of people would love to have $230,000 to work with, but can he avoid focusing on the more than $66 mil in lost wealth? It’s all about the mentality at this point.

@MarioNawfal The most important goal of governments should be to ease obstacles to family formation. If we have safe enough environments, affordable housing, nutrition, energy, transportion, education, & healthcare, then much of the friction within and between countries disappear.

Exponential AI compute growth will surpass Earth's total energy output by the mid-2040s, visualized in Mueller's log-scale graph projecting J/bit trends against global production.

[Tom Mueller @lrocket]

I’ve been talking about the need to move compute to space for a few years now, since about the time I founded Impulse. My thesis was not that it was needed because it is so hard/expensive to install terrestrial power, but because exponential growth of computer power could eventually crush resources on earth. This graphic is from my presentation and shows that computer power will equal all base power generation by mid 2040s. Compute is one of the few things that can be moved to space, but the product can be easily delivered back to earth. It just makes sense

[Decentrekt3000 @decentrekt]

@ruima @chinalawtransl8 Yes, that was the original intention, but either work or talk to more engineers with utopian dreams of the Internet, mobile, social, crypto or in the future AI, and tell me with a straight face that’s actually what’s happening right now.

🇨🇳🇪🇺 CHINA TO EU: "STOP LECTURING US ON RIGHTS WHILE YOUR OWN HOUSE BURNS"

EU issued a human rights statement criticizing China on International Human Rights Day.

China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun fired back today calling it "malicious slander, shameless lies" and "gross interference in internal affairs."

The Chinese response hits every defensive talking point:

Xinjiang and Tibet enjoy "social stability and economic growth." Hong Kong's "1 country, 2 systems" is working great.

China's Constitution guarantees freedoms. Anyone without prejudice can see their "historic achievements."

Then Guo flips it: EU's human rights situation is "deteriorating" - racial discrimination, refugee abuse, restrictions on speech, religious hatred, judicial injustice, violence against women.

"The EU is not in position to lecture others on human rights."

Both sides are playing cynical geopolitical theater with human rights as the weapon. EU knows China won't change Xinjiang policies or Hong Kong crackdowns because of a statement.

The facts neither side wants centered:

China has documented mass detention programs in Xinjiang, demolished mosques, implemented surveillance states in minority regions, crushed Hong Kong's autonomy, and disappeared dissidents.

The EU's statement isn't "malicious slander" - it's citing documented reality.

But China's counterpunch also lands, obviously.

EU member states absolutely have rising refugee violence, increasing restrictions of the freedom of press, and systemic injustice.

Poland's judicial capture, France's police violence - all documented and ongoing.

What this exchange actually reveals:

Neither side cares about human rights as moral principle. They care about human rights as leverage.

EU uses it to constrain China's geopolitical rise and justify trade restrictions. China uses "internal affairs" doctrine to shield authoritarian control and deflect with whataboutism.

The game is: who can point at whose abuses louder while minimizing their own.

Both are playing it. Both are hypocrites.

And actual victims in both regions get used as rhetorical ammunition while nothing changes anyway.

This cycle repeats annually. EU issues statements. China condemns interference. Both sides entrench.

No policies change.

Real human rights advocacy requires consistency. If you condemn China's Xinjiang camps, you condemn EU's migrant detention centers.

If you defend press freedom in Hong Kong, you defend it in Germany.

Neither side does this because human rights only matter when they're useful.

Welcome to great power competition where principles are props and suffering is leverage.

The only honest thing in this exchange is that both sides admit they don't actually care what the other thinks - they're just playing for the audience.
