“Apple’s strategy in China has resulted in a transfer of technology and know-how so consequential as to constitute a geopolitical event” #PatrickMcGee https://www.thetimes.com/business-money/technology/article/how-apple-helped-china-become-americas-biggest-tech-rival-8f83tttv5 ht #BradSetser
@Phil There was an inflation that sucked, but was global post-COVID and milder here than elsewhere. I don’t know what he did that you think so arrogant, but he ran labor markets tight and revived industrial policy and factory construction. (His successor, of course, is scuttling that success.)
@Phil the Biden administration not selling out the country for personal gain. it was the only administration of my lifetime that was beginning to reshape the economy in favor of the domestic working class. with a degree of competence entirely lacking in the current administration.
This is fascinating. The claim is an enzyme has a domain unrelated to its main binding site that (accidentally?) regulates transcription of genes implicated in Alzheimer’s. Binding that domain with a small molecule can inhibit its role in advancing the disease. https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-discover-hidden-cause-of-alzheimers-hiding-in-plain-sight/ ht @nedhamson1
@Phil Hunter’s “career” has been pure sleaze, selling influence even if it wasn’t available for him to sell, no question. That Joe didn’t do what Jimmy Carter did to his brother is a moral blot, regardless of whether he in any way participated. But man, nothing alleged is even in the same ballpark in terms of scale and susceptibility to abuse as air force one or memecoins.
it’s like elite Republicans believe their “Biden Crime Family” propaganda, but what they experience is not faux outrage over corruption, but a challenge to outdo their rivals in competition.
the symbolism that it will be Air Force One is really something.
all those patriotically coded films, the President under threat or making hard calls from Air Force One.
brought to you by the Emir of Qatar adds a new spin.
i refused the cookies. i should have asked for a plane. https://www.interfluidity.com/posts/1257407150.shtml
we should refer to it as the nnylf effect.
@Phil great to chat with you too!
@neil no bad reviews, or you'll get caught!
by "no one is above the law", they mean "no one is above the donald".
they believe no law or even constitution binds the donald, or binds them when they act with what they claim to be his writ.
i have no idea who does or doesn’t deserve credit for helping to negotiate it, but i’m incredibly grateful there’s a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.
i would really appreciate it if India and Pakistan would just not do this. please.
@jonginsf it's hard to due better in terms of regulatory capture than the supplement industry, which has basically gotten itself exempted from regulation. FDA can hold supplement sellers accountable for lying about the contents of the tin. beyond that, caveat emptor!
(supplement providers are not exempt from consumer liability, but it's hard to win if the consumer elected to eat what was on the label, even if that proves an unwise health choice.)
"Biden rejected Reaganite trickle-down economics but settled on another kind of trickle down: fixing things in the far reaches of supply chains in hopes the benefits will eventually reach ordinary people." #IsabellaWeber https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/05/09/abundance-review-klein-thompson-progressive-policy/
i never understood why people so distrustful someone might be trying to profit from a vaccine so trust people who are ostentatiously hawking supplements for money.
the way you make america great again is you make the world great again.
the “agains” in both places are arguable.
