@timurkuran No. Won't happen. It's neither a solid democracy nor a solid autocracy. No English prevalence. No proper top down enforcement of what matters. No.

Istanbul’s busiest airport (IST) has 5 operational runways and a 6th is under construction. It handled 85M passengers in 2025. In that same year, Dubai (DXB), Abu Dhabi (AUH), and Doha (DOH) had a combined total of 192M passengers. Plans are under way to increase IST’s share of the transit air traffic in the region. Like the tax exemption for wealthy foreigners, the broader goal is to restore Istanbul as the Eastern Mediterranean’s leading commercial and financial hub — a status it held for 1,500 years, first under Roman and Byzantine rule, then under the Ottomans.

Türkiye will grant a 20-year tax exemption on overseas income for foreign nationals moving to the country.

It's air quality. Clean your FCUs, check if the management company is cleaning the FAHU properly, do comprehensive air quality testing and keep a monitor.

Mike Thurston told Saladino he struggles to fall asleep and stay asleep in Dubai. But when he goes back to his family's detached house in a quiet area of the UK, sleep comes easy. He falls asleep quickly AND stays asleep the whole night. Saladino explained what is likely happening: Dubai is a wall of high-rises with hundreds of Wi-Fi routers stacked around you in every direction. That RF exposure is hitting your body all night long. On top of that, sealed apartments trap CO2 from your own breathing. Above 800 parts per million, sleep quality measurably drops. Most sealed bedrooms blow past that by morning. The fix is your environment.

@GeorgesStPierre Yes Georgie, a thousand of something is a lot. A thousand eleven days is 30 years. Yes. Nothing special. Your math is just poor.
Also is this a dog whistle against the rich?

1 million seconds ≈ 11.6 days
1 billion seconds ≈ 31.7 years
1 trillion seconds ≈ 31,710 years

I am often asked to share the LLM tests I use, got tired of repeating, asked Toloka to build the full comparison arena and a GH repo: toloka.ai/arena
Tokens used, price and tracking each model in time. Now Agentic tasks, coding soon. Guess which one is the most expensive?

@nayibbukele They should all do 10 to 15 then tattoo removal and rehabilitation and send them out to be productive again. Might work.

The old legal system worked very well, but only in the Europe that existed between the end of WW2 and COVID-19 (and in less than five other countries).
It doesn’t work anymore. Legal systems respond to social contracts, and social contracts are, by definition, different in different societies and constantly changing.
However, we are not even applying a different system here. These “mass trials” and the prosecution of the leadership of criminal organizations for the crimes committed by their members are not a legal innovation; they are a recognized doctrine in international law. It is called “command responsibility,” and it was applied by the Allied countries in the Nuremberg Trials.

Hundreds of alleged gang members sat before television screens inside El Salvador's notorious CECOT mega-prison as a mass virtual trial got underway, with inmates handcuffed and ankle-chained.

The UAE exploring a swap line with the US should give us pause that the consequences of the Iran conflict are far greater than what we see priced in markets. Such explorations do not arise lightly, even behind closed doors.

Clavicular talks about what really MATTERS when having kids and CLAIMING that the only thing that counts is GENETICS 😳👀
"Having kids is not about the women, it's about the kid, you know, really. And like all women are kind of equal in their, in their ability to raise kids."
"So I would say that it's just about finding the best genetics, not necessarily finding the most ideal person."

Throwing Ferraris at Frisbees is a great way to get the problem across to the average person who might not follow these things closely. Ted is 100% right.

One patriot missile costs between $4 and $4.5 million. An Iranian drone costs about $30,000 - $50,000. We cannot keep throwing Ferraris at frisbees.

@rubison_ My birthday is actually one of the saddest days of the year. It's always bittersweet: what did I not accomplish? Where could I have pushed harder? I am one year older therefore one year less young... It's just a horrible day, probably the worst of the year for me.
