@lilyslynch and 2) Albright and Clark's business interests in Kosovo telecom and mining.

@lilyslynch Great piece. Still reading through it, but so far some things seem missing (though it is huge already). Two things: 1) role of the west in Đinđić's assassination (at least the lead-up shouldn't be controversial to acknowledge),

@Liv_Boeree This was really the most insightful part of the conversation. I had all the pieces in my head and somehow never made the connection.

A lot of LLM commentary today has heavy early iPhone vibes. Remember those news articles speculating how much the 4 missing icons in the last row are worth? It might be hard to believe today but people couldn't imagine an app store and multiple pages of icons.

Moj put do Nemačke vodio je preko Rusije. Iskren niz 👇🏼! Oduvek sam volela 🇷🇺, kao ideju. Čitala sam ruske pisce, rado učila ruski jezik, volela balet. Imala sam svoju ideju o Rusiji, pomalo inspirisana ruskim bajkama. Čim mi se 2001. ukazala prilika da na poslednjoj godini ⚡️

@lilyslynch @Balkanist It's often a good half second, and sometimes followed by the compliment "I never met X like you before".

@VitalikButerin seems like the right time to work on news. Any good projects in the ethereum community you would highlight?

O Kosovu, svaka mu je ka u Njegoša. Neprijatno je, boli, ali je istinito.

@Gradjanin5 Imaju red. A red je isto što i bogatstvo ako mu daš malo vremena.

Zasto je Švajcarska bogata a Srbija sirota? Sta to oni imaju a mi nemamo? More? Rude? Oranice?

Studentski protest, Juni 1992 godine ispred kuće Slobodana Milošević i Mire Marković u Tolstojevoj, kasnije smo te noći posle okršaja i jurnjave blokirali Gazelu. Zahvalnost gospodinu Zamuroviću na fotografiji. Oduvek je bilo, Oni i Mi, sloboda se ne poklanja, osvaja se.

@wiznews Jos veci problem je razumevanje neke zapadne civilizacije (ili organizacije) kao jednog entiteta sa konzistentnim umom. Mozda bolji nacin da se ovo razume je da svojim jezikom biras s kojim delom pricas - ako ti je jezik lopovluk i sila, ima puno lopova i siledzija na zapadu.

uspešniji od nas. Dakle, kad vide da je naš politički nivo, otprilike, na nivou primitivnih plemena, oni nas i tretiraju kao primitivno pleme: nekad potkupljuju đinđuvama, nekad zaprete batinom. To se zove pragmatizam i da mi nismo ovakvi kakvi smo, ni oni ne bi bili takvi.

Tvrditi u pretpolitičkom društvu da je neko profesionalni političar jednako je budalasto kao tvrditi da je u pre-digitalnom društvu neko profesionalni programer. Ovde niko o politici pojma nema, nije prošao pored politike. Možda pored one zgrade u Makedonskoj, na putu

🧵My translation of the analysis of the current situation in Russia by an active FSB analyst. Buckle up for a long thread and definitely please share far & wide. The full text is over 2000 words. This is a highly insightful look behind the curtain - covers many subjects.

The remarkable thing is not just how mistaken these reporters seem, but how sure they are of themselves. It must be a general reporter m.o. always to speak with certainty. Usually they get away with it, but when talking about startups this trick can blow up spectacularly.
