Wealth is a tool of freedom, but the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery. Live today, not for an imaginary tomorrow.

Drinking almond milk makes you a worse person, ecologically, than using AI.

Dneska jsem vám vyfotil stavební rámek. Je to jediný rámeček, který se dává do včelstva bez mezistěny, čili bez předlohy a včely ho vystaví celý samy ze svého vosku. Ve včelstvu má několik funkcí. Včely na takovém rámku vždy staví trubčí buňky, aby si zajistili dostatek trubců pro případné množení. Pro matku je tenhle rámek jak magnet a upřednostňuje ho před čímkoliv jiným. Zajímavé je, že včely začínají stavět na několika místech od horní loučky a vždycky se sejdou tak, že to na tom rámku není poznat, že by musely nějak buňky vyrovnávat, aby jim to vyšlo :-)
Je to taky jedno z protirojových opatření, protože včely, když můžou stavět, tak nemají roupy a nechtějí se rojit.

Marc Andreessen just revealed the Elon Musk philosophy that completely broke his brain: "The best product in the world shouldn't even need a logo."
We all know Elon is relentless about quality. As Marc puts it: "Do you want the best car in the world or not, right? Like that's Elon's mentality... And it's working very well."
But at a recent event, Elon took this mindset to a completely different level. He dropped a perspective so jarring that Marc initially thought it was a joke.
Elon’s thesis? "You shouldn't even have to have your name on the product. It's just obvious. Everybody knows."
The logic is brutal but simple. If you build the undeniable, undisputed best thing in the world, everybody uses it. And because everybody uses it, you don't need to slap your branding all over it to prove it's yours.
Think about that. We spend endless hours agonizing over marketing, tweaking brand colors, and putting our logos on every square inch of what we build. But the ultimate flex isn't a flashy logo. The ultimate flex is building something so undeniably brilliant that its mere existence is the brand.

This is probably the most important article of the month: an op-ed by Oman's Foreign Minister, who mediated the talks between the U.S. and Iran, in which he writes that the U.S. "has lost control of its foreign policy" to Israel.
He repeats that a deal was possible as an outcome of the talks (something confirmed by the UK's National Security Advisor, who also attended: x.com/i/status/20341…) and that the military strike by the U.S. and Israel was "a shock."
Interestingly, given he is one of Iran's neighbors and given that Oman has been struck multiple times by Iran since the war began (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran…), he writes that "Iran’s retaliation against what it claims are American targets on the territory of its neighbours was an inevitable result" of the U.S.-Israeli attack. He describes it as "probably the only rational option available to the Iranian leadership."
He says the war "endangers" the region's entire "economic model in which global sport, tourism, aviation and technology were to play an important role." He adds that "if this had not been anticipated by the architects of this war, that was surely a grave miscalculation."
But, he adds, the "greatest miscalculation" of all for the U.S. "was allowing itself to be drawn into this war in the first place."
In his view this was the doing of "Israel’s leadership" who "persuaded America that Iran had been so weakened by sanctions, internal divisions and the American-Israeli bombings of its nuclear sites last June, that an unconditional surrender would swiftly follow the initial assault and the assassination of the supreme leader."
Obviously, this proved completely wrong, and the U.S. is now in a quagmire. He says that, given this, "America’s friends have a responsibility to tell the truth," which is that "there are two parties to this war who have nothing to gain from it," namely "Iran and America."
He says that all of the U.S. interests in the region (end to nuclear proliferation, secure energy supply chains, investment opportunities) are "best achieved with Iran at peace."
As he writes, "this is an uncomfortable truth to tell, because it involves indicating the extent to which America has lost control of its own foreign policy. But it must be told."
He then proposes a couple of paths to get back to the negotiating table, although he recognizes how difficult it would be for Iran "to return to dialogue with an administration that twice switched abruptly from talks to bombing and assassination."
That's perhaps the most profound damage Trump did during this entire episode: the complete discrediting of diplomacy. If Iran was taught anything, it is: don't negotiate with the U.S., it's a trap that will literally kill you.
The great irony of the man who sold himself as a dealmaker is that he taught the world one thing: don't make deals with my country.

From the surf to the snow in one amazing LA day
Did you know you can see the Los Angeles skyline with the SouthBay beaches lining the foreground and the snow capped San Gabriels in the background on a clear day?
This is my favorite view of the city but one that only comes around on extremely clear days when we are lucky to get snow drop to the lower elevations.

@honza_thorovsky Ve dvou se to dá i s tou Teslou, no. Ale ideální auto na lyže je samozřejmě R1T. Originál příčníky s držáky lyží na korbu, bundy, přilby a další čisté věci do frunku, boty do tunelu - naprostý ideál. Bez problémů takhle jezdíme ve čtyřech několikrát do týdne.
