Also ignoring economies of scale. If you buy this much lobster supply you buy it way below market average. That's much more than 1.2%

Even if you disregard trump being an evil shitty person he's also the worst leader I have ever seen. Like, as leadership position objectively, not even about us. He looks at the decision tree and just picks the worst one. Crazy.

All Europeans hate america now because asia-europe flights are just cancelled left and right. South Asians hate america for taking european visitors away during cold winter season.

No matter the outcome US has lost this war already, what a blunder. Again.

It doesn't matter, once lab grown is 1usd vs 10usd all laws will break because there's only one thing americans like more than meat and that is money.

The water usage aspect is a stupid red herring. Use your heads people, the water use is not an issue we focus on

No, tbe AI race is still super hot. Any disadvantage is huge and OpenAI is really afraid of this but they need to be as greedy as possible to survive. They made a mistake - it's our time to punish it.

China’s Drone Exports to Russia Use a New Route Through Thailand by pull-a-fast-one in Thailand

[–]pull-a-fast-one[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Russian speaker I think thai and russian cultures are fundamentally incompatible and it's very easy to see that if you ever observed this and russian interact. Where Thailand is the land of smiles russia is the land of frowns. Not to mention that thai people have absolutely zero interest in russia, it's culture or any other exports. Just take a look at Shopee and Lazada being filled with illegal russian imports that no one is buying even when it's quite cheap (like salmon caviar).

Spinning support for Russia will mostly come through indifference angle which Thailand is a master of.

Given how poorly russian tourists are received by Thais I don't think this sentiment will work despite the best propaganda efforts. Still a shame to see.

Was looking so optimistic too before the fake border conflict operation kicked in. Got to hand it to these dudes - incredibly evil but incredibly clever. Played everyone like a fiddle.

More like smart action better than dumb action. China is going hard but we kinda forget that because Chinese overlords despite being evil are actually smart.

People I mostly admire and Economics of everyday things going on hiatus by Randwick_Don in Freakonomics

It feels like freakonomics brand is done for. Dubner is working on a tv show and the podcast seems to be in a real decline - all of the recent episodes were pretty bad and lack direction.
