@LinusEkenstam It is American technology that was commercialized in Europe with Intel funding and transferred American IP,

European innovation makes the world go around. Without this machine, no AI.

@rassleagh @poppavein @WarMonitor3 Yes, they did. The UK would have lost without US aid like sidewinder missiles, jet fuel, and most importantly intelligence. washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…

@poppavein @WarMonitor3 The US did not get involved in the Falklands war. It was outside of the NATO treaty. Exactly the same as Iran. The US was attacked on 9/11 definitely inside the NATO treaty and all the NATO members responded.

The Falkland Islands are British🇬🇧 -The population was first discovered by an English explorer and has no native population. -The Island overwhelmingly voted over 90 percent to keep being a British territory. -We fought a war over it and kicked Argentinas behind.

@nikoliasgoninus @paulg I played the big 3 sports + soccer growing up and quit soccer as soon as my parent’s let me. You have a favorite sport. It isn’t “more elegant.” Read George Will sometime about the elegance of baseball.

Wrong, it is very much a matter of taste and lack of experience. I played almost every sport growing up and grew up traveling around the northeast for various soccer matches. I was a varsity letter winner in basketball, soccer, track, and cross country. I also ran at the D-1 level. Soccer is far and away the most dramatic and enthralling sport. Sure, that is my perspective, but my perspective includes everything from karate to volleyball to soccer and everything in between. If you want a boring, high scoring game go watch baseball. Anyways, for a country that loves football and basketball so much, I have a hard time understanding why the masses don't enjoy soccer (there is a huge US soccer fan base despite this). There is not a massive difference between these sports. All of them are physical dramatic plays, enthralling in their own way. I just prefer soccer because of it's elegance.

It's so strange reading people saying that soccer is boring when I feel worn out from the stress of watching the last two England matches. Frankly I would have preferred them to be a bit more boring.

@Super_Tired_Dad @ClayTravis My 6 year old son is obsessed with baseball and constantly asking to go hit balls. I see Dodgers hats everywhere I go and MLB ratings and attendance are up.

@ClayTravis I hope you are right, but I haven't watched a baseball game since the roid homer race era, my kids will play any sport but baseball, and they've never asked to watch a game. I worry for the future of baseball.

$9.6 billion for the Seahawks. I’ll just keep saying it, buy and hold Braves stock. Publicly traded. BATRA is the symbol. One day you will thank me.

@Alex69Carter @Yazmin26011 @NotPaulsBrother @sainterosie Angelina is crazy AF and this is obvious parental alienation. yahoo.com/entertainment/…

@bbalkus @Yazmin26011 @NotPaulsBrother @sainterosie The judge got thrown out for being corrupt lol he had business dealings with Brad before the ruling which is why it was overturned…try again next time with your false lies

The "wokest" man you know will still never gaf about women's abuse

@nikoliasgoninus @paulg There are good reasons for thinking a sport that regularly has 0-0 and 1-0 scores is boring. If you are emotionally invested in the outcome of any game it is going to be interesting. It isn’t a matter of taste, it is a matter of growing up in a different sports culture.

@paulg Yup. Most Americans have no taste. Soccer is one of the most enthralling, dramatic, and artistic sports one can watch or play. Actually playing is an entirely different experience, almost like being in a tragic play.

@BJJ64929676 @robkhenderson No, I am controlling for race, not income. There are white and Asian people in the bottom 20% of income. And essentially the highest in the world is more than “not bad.”

@bbalkus @robkhenderson You count discount all the poor people and then say, "See? Our median isn't so bad!"

Interesting. The median British, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese person is wealthier than the median American: thefp.com/p/tgif-a-maine…

@bbalkus @Yazmin26011 @NotPaulsBrother @sainterosie Parental alienation rarely occurs and you have zero proof of that shit so why claim it?? There’s a bunch of proof against Brad but you ignore it…you’re stupid as shit

@kewgardens1 @robkhenderson 7th

@bbalkus @robkhenderson Where is Switzerland on this list?!!

@DavidJSword @robkhenderson They are only 4% of the population

@bbalkus @robkhenderson South Asians an East Asians have good IQ and income in the US

@Yazmin26011 @NotPaulsBrother @sainterosie Parental alienation explains it. His Cluster B poster child ex wife deliberately sabotaged his relationship with his kids. news.com.au/entertainment/…

@NotPaulsBrother @sainterosie Still don’t explain why his children disowned him.

@PawlowskiMario Norway is a tiny homogeneous petro state. It is more dependent on natural resource extraction than Texas. You are confused about the lessons of Norway ynetnews.com/business/artic…

Folks 🇳🇴🔥

Watching some MAGA accounts cheer for Norway and Haaland is absolute cinema.🎦 🇳🇴 They seem to see a 6’5” blond Viking and assume he’s some kind of ideological soulmate. Meanwhile, Norway is one of the strongest examples of a successful social democracy in the world, and Haaland has publicly supported anti-racism campaigns throughout his career. It’s another reminder that people often project their own politics onto athletes instead of paying attention to who they actually are. And it’s ridiculous, funny and shocking a bit, but not much at the same time.

@AdamSchefter @SethWickersham Broncos sale is looking like quite a deal now

A group led by San Francisco 49ers limited partner Vinod Khosla has agreed to purchase the Seattle Seahawks for $9.6 billion, a record sale price for an NFL franchise, per @SethWickersham and me.

@DavidJSword @robkhenderson No. 85% of UK is white versus 57% of the U.S.

@bbalkus @robkhenderson Agreed but UK and Europe have 15-20% African and Gypsy, Pakistani. Same problems no?

@Rachel1540562 @robkhenderson Orthodox Jews would be lower, the rest would be much higher.

@bbalkus @robkhenderson Ok the white median would be very much the same probably. I’m curious what the Jewish group would look like once separated. If they have a much higher median than the whites and other groups or what

@margauxfortis @tunguz You are being very presumptuous in attributing ignorance as my motivation rather than a distaste for poor writing. Have a lovely Saturday.

@bbalkus @tunguz You’re being unnecessarily petty across these replies.

Building cities and urban areas in general that are designed for humans.

@margauxfortis @tunguz Because I used to work for a large architecture and urban design firm and the pretentiousness of the academic language used in the industry has always annoyed me.

@bbalkus @tunguz If you understand it, why are you mad that someone used the right words? 😉

@Rachel1540562 @robkhenderson Very high. Jewish people are a small % of the population.

@bbalkus @robkhenderson I’m curious what the white number would be if Jewish people put in their own category

@DavidJSword @robkhenderson You can’t compare the bottom 20%!¥< small homogeneous rich nations with the U.S. White and Asian Americans in the bottom 20% aren’t being removed either. This is just controlling for race.

@bbalkus @robkhenderson Any country’s median looks better by cutting off the bottom 20%.

@margauxfortis @tunguz You may want to consider this in the future

Hey, fair point on Paris. Haussmann’s work was definitely big top-down planning. But a lot of other European cities and towns grew more organically through local, incremental decisions over centuries, especially the older cores.The complex adaptive systems stuff, feedback loops, and superlinear scaling aren’t just fancy words. It’s actual research... Bettencourt and West have done solid work on the scaling laws in cities. Planning and emergence both happen at the same time. No need to dismiss the concepts just because they’re unfamiliar.
