The best people...
  • 3 competing possibilities

    • compentent military leadership, but not resisting political leadership: either needs a coup and kill political leader (not likely) or will fail (likely)
    • incompetent ML, and but dumb enough to have their own agenda, crippling the plan (optimistic)
    • incompetent ML, and very submissive, allows the worse the occurs and succeed (bad)

    Hitler did not only have yesmen for his wars. There was even plots against him late in the war and he killed a lot of them too.

  • Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
  • It's roughly 1 death for 3-4 injured and out of combat

  • Compliments
  • I'm so glad I have actually good friends we can compliment and joke around without feeling uncomfortable ahah.

  • Trump Signs Executive Order Making Open-Source Code Illegal
  • It's just an error on the date, just wait a few weeks

  • France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes
  • It's several cooperative and competitives projects. Diversity is not bad for science anyway. ITER itself involve tons of countries.

  • France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes
  • No tech will give you a better timeline, back on the floor please ^^ It's a political problem before anything else, and energy production is far from being the first problem.

  • France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes
  • Article said 2.6GJ input, 2.6 output so 1Q, but I'm not certain it's really the case.

    Edit: I can't find my source back, so it's likely false

  • China has a very passive policy of non-interference, but will this change in the future?
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_China

    "National Economy – 10.Total Population Went down and Urbanization Rate Continued to Grow (31 December 2024)". www.stats.gov.cn. National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBSC). 17 January 2025. Retrieved 17 January 2025.

    net loss but natality increase in 2024

    It seems like robust assertion to me. For the final analysist I'm no expert in chinese questions.

  • China has a very passive policy of non-interference, but will this change in the future?
  • Ok i've found something on one of my national media, 2023.

    For context "lefigaro" is a right wing conservative french paper. It's interviewing PA Donnet.

    Pierre-Antoine Donnet is a experimented journalist with significant knowledge and experience with China since ~1980 (he was not happy with the Tibet events around 1985 and was present physicaly here for the Agence France Presse, the primary main source of most mainstream french media - independant medias have their own investigations). He's been cited twice on mediapart (independant leftist journal very respected here) on the topic.

    He says basically:

    • China population declined officially in 2022, and "it started before despite the official source" as part of the source of the problem
    • PIB growth lower than targets and historical values, as a symptome of vicious circle
    • Some talk about the CCP internal conflict

    I guess he's the primary source, but I don't want to buy his book to give you a summary :D

  • China has a very passive policy of non-interference, but will this change in the future?
  • I'll see if I can find my source back just in case we can get something more specific. From memory it was about China going back under 1 billion people over the next 50-100 years or something

  • China has a very passive policy of non-interference, but will this change in the future?
  • Other analyst say the contrary, with demographic decline to come and econnomy slower. So they say reunification window is limited to maybe 10 years or something before it becomes harder. Not that I'm capable of saying which of you is right

  • Stephen Fry released a statement: "Elon Musk is not a Nazi. Nazis make really good cars."
  • Ah ok I though it was you said I should tell my (Elon Musk) friend to stop doing shit and get help so that was hillariousx)

  • The art of the deal
  • Nah, conservative and liars always use the "i don't know" "i don't remember" "it's not me" cards. It's always a lie, they know, they remember, they are responsible.

  • Stephen Fry released a statement: "Elon Musk is not a Nazi. Nazis make really good cars."
  • Ahahah that's a good joke, it took me a minute to catch

  • Stephen Fry released a statement: "Elon Musk is not a Nazi. Nazis make really good cars."
  • I've autistic friend, she's not a nazi. He's just a cruel and rich sociopath.

  • Extrovert Duty
  • but it does also stop the butcher from selling you a pork steak that isn’t actually pork, so that’s a bonus.

    or maybe it's just a translation error haha

  • Trump's Gameplan
  • Trump reducing corruption and middleman charges? Does not seem realistic but I'm not in the confidence :D
