Admiral Rob Bauer: If Russia wanted to attack NATO, where do you think that decision would be taken? In Beijing. Chinese are basically allowing Russia to stay in war. They provide Russia with everything they need to make weapons. Chinese can still say, "We don't give weapons." But they literally give Russia everything it needs to make those weapons. Therefore, I think if Russia wanted to attack NATO, they would have to ask permission in Beijing. Russia is spending everything in Ukraine to win the war. America and Europe support Ukraine with our military and financial assistance. Who is to gain from that? It is China. They can continue to build their military strength and prepare for whatever they want to achieve. And Russia is becoming more and more the junior partner in that limitless partnership.

The companies I love working with in office hours are the ones where the founder has a specific, weird, earned insight that nobody else has. Not "AI for X." A genuine edge that came from living inside a problem. The ones that are dying almost always have the same pattern: technically competent founders building something nobody asked for, moving metrics that don't matter, avoiding the conversation with the one user who'd tell them the truth. The lucky thing is that 2nd type of founder can become the 1st kind if they don't stand still, they are willing to talk to people, try things, and always seek high rate of learning.

Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO. He invaded because Ukrainians were proving democracy works. Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum puts it plainly: Putin looked at Ukraine's democratic movement and thought, "If they can do it in Ukraine, then people

The media celebrated a russian “ceasefire” this week. Then Ukraine suffered the worst air attack since 2022. While russia turns up in Venice Time to stop pretending Russia wants peace. It will only be stopped when it’s sanctioned into the abyss & kicked out of the civilised world

Lately I've been doing the opposite of encouraging people to move to San Francisco. Yes, @paulg is right. Being in San Francisco does give many advantages that he lays out well. But I meet so many who feel FOMO for not being here. Families won't let them move. Or they don't yet have a business that works here. It's EXPENSIVE. I spent time this week with one guy building a robot that removes snow and ice from sidewalks. He wants to move to SF to be around other people who work on robotics. Being a founder in the midwest is lonely, he told me. I told him that the whole advantage of where he lives is he is close to the customers. The government officials who could actually buy such a robot. Being close to customers is a huge advantage. One that many entrepreneurs don't appreciate enough. I told another guy "come to San Francisco to get up to date for a couple of weeks then take what you learned back to your local community." I've seen the advantages AI automation brings to businesses, whether big, like CocaCola, or small, like a dentist in a small town. But most businesses haven't yet automated around the world. Those businesses don't spend time in San Francisco. And people outside of SF are the ones who will help them automate. In other words, there is a HUGE opportunity outside of San Francisco/Silicon Valley and one that isn't hyped up enough.

Eight European countries are calling for a Schengen entry ban for Russian servicemen. Should’ve been done long ago and permanently. Leaders also argued there is a risk of former Russian combatants involved in organised crime, extremist movements or hostile activities against EU countries in the context of Russia's hybrid actions.

Bacteria move around using a molecular machine called the flagellar motor that rotates faster than the flywheel of a race car engine and switches directions in an instant. After 50 yrs, scientists have finally figured out how it works. “My lifelong quest is now fulfilled.” Link⤵️

@aakashgupta It's helpful to actually read the study. "Because this is an observational study, it remains uncertain whether this relationship is causal."

@ASychov I was talking about banning Hungary from the EU if Orban stayed in power and continued acting against European interests and sucking Putin off.

People don't realize how bad autocrats are for their people. Hungary is so poor that they need to shut down universities in the middle of the semester to save money. Imagine being so broken as government that you can't pay your schools anymore and send students home. Meanwhile his family and friends get ungodly rich. Same with Putin and soon with Trump. They bankrupt their own countries for generations, fill their pockets, and blame everyone else for it. Worst of all they are surrounded by yes-men so they even believe they are the victim here.

With less than 24 hours left until Hungarians head to the polls, I figured it is a good moment to take one final look at what Viktor Orbán has achieved in his 16 years of uninterrupted, near absolute reign in Hungary, by comparing Hungary’s performance with that of Romania.🧵
