  • I heard from a Redditor that his tweets were luring US scientists to EU and his visit was a recruitment drive. One USAmerican already took up the offer.

    I imagine US does not want to identify him because although we could verify the above in his tweets, it would be advertising the lure for US scientists to defect.

    And the French guy probably does not want to identify himself because je wants to make the US government look as bad as possible.

    Not random, not as bad as the headline sounds but not worthy of banning anyhow.

  • Different cultures count differently. eg Jesus was not born in zero AD but in one AD. His whole first year of life he was considered to be in his first year.

    I think some countries count age this way too (hopefully someone can confirm to satisfy my nerdy curiosity).

  • The instability is great for inside traders eg those who knew about the Whitehouse lawn stunt in advance. That was not a dead cat bounce, it was the stunt.

    But the trend since the stunt has been stable enough.

    I certainly will be looking at the graph each day rather than reading articles describing it.

    Reminds me of how people laugh at the yo-yo tariffs, totally ignoring how insider trader buddies of Trump must love it. Is an overall economic decline going to bother them in comparison?

  • In related US News: Trump intervention at Columbia alarms defenders of academic freedom.

    Federal officials told the university it must immediately place its Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies Department under "academic receivership for a minimum of five years." The demand was among several described as conditions for receiving federal funding, including $400 million already pulled over allegations of antisemitism

  • I don't get it. We should not be early adopters of electric vehicles? The author may well be overcompensating for being a past Elon fanboi.

    Love Betoota in general but they sometimes miss the mark.
