Inside Ukrainian offensive pushing Russia back - with Starlink playing a key role

The BBC joins Ukraine's Operation Vivaldi as it regains crucial territory in the Donbas, but optimism has been dampened by souring relations with President Trump.

Automated crawling and scraping was how researchers identified a cluster of unexplained pneumonia cases in Wuhan in late 2019. It's how reserachers track opioid misinfo, too. So much of tech policy is having to make sure we don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I don't care if my learned colleague is a broken record on this. It's actually the truth - the legal immigration system in the USA is basically a brick wall. It's too difficult to immigrate here legally.

Raffi Melkonian@rmfifthcircuit.bsky.social · 3d ago

I know I'm a broken record on this, but one part of what is going on is that people have literally no idea what the US immigration system actually is; effectively, that there are no pathways into the country legally for someone who wants to wait in line.

Are you attending the IBA Annual Conference? Let's meet for coffee.

I'm feeling minty fresh today.

We're in Copenhagen at the first full day of the IBA Annual Conference. Let's meet up for coffee and talk about Intellectual Property and Advertising Law.

the lesson of the Civil War is that aesthetic warrior-cult societies get their shit rocked by schoolteachers and store clerks who'd much rather be doing anything else

Warrior aesthetic guys: Pushups, squats, pull ups, run. Pushups, squats, pull ups, run. School teachers: So, if we put some artillery on a hill…

We're at the IBA Annual Conference in Copenhagen. Let's connect while we're there.

We're still in attendance at the IBA Annual Conference. Let's meet up and talk about your clients' needs for intellectual property and advertising law in the United States.

Like, every so often, someone comes rushing out to say 'I think we invented AGI' and, if that were true, the next words out of your mouth ought to be "and so we now have moral obligations towards this new being we created" and somehow that is not generally what I see comes next.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Eiger is counting down to IBA Copenhagen! Partners John Eastwood and Tian Xu will be in Copenhagen for the IBA Annual Conference. They’re looking forward to connecting with international colleagues and sharing insights on current cross-border legal trends.

i know it is a small thing but do these tech oligarchs not read before signing something from the unites states president

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 3w ago

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

Here's a $20 million order, paid for by CBP's Office of Public Affairs, awarded to LMD Agency for a national media campaign starting on Sept. 20. The first pro-Trump ad aired on Sept. 23. www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_A...

Lord, have mercy. Wise words here from @jenaiauman.bsky.social on Christian authors Heather Thompson Day & Seth Day’s arrest. jenaiauman.substack.com/p/i-dont-kno...

The quote that went around when Wendell Berry died, "the next great division of the world will be between people who wish to live as creatures and people who wish to live as machines" comes to mind *often* these days. Trying to live as a creature is becoming my north star.

Again, as I always say, normally the president can’t do much about prices, but Trump very specifically did things he knew would increase prices! He could just stop doing those things!

Not stated: the resistance is caused by the fact that the ideas are gibberish
