Un moment important azi pentru România 🇷🇴! Ambasadorii UE 🇪🇺 au agreat aderarea completă la Schengen şi cu frontierele terestre, începând cu 1 ianuarie 2025. Consiliul JAI din decembrie va formaliza această decizie mult așteptată, în mod legitim, de toți cetățenii români.
I was at an AI thing in SF this weekend when a young woman walked up. The first thing she said, almost verbatim: "I'm a Chinese national but it's not like I'm a spy or anything" *nervous laughter.* I asked her if she thought Xi was an AI doomer and she suddenly excused herself.
The Actual, Real, Not-Messing-Around Chinese spies in Silicon Valley problem needs to be addressed. This has to be a priority of the next administration.
UPDATE: It appears that France agrees with my analysis on the international law issue. (That doesn’t mean I’m right, but perhaps it at least indicates that I’m not obviously wrong.) I await the AG’s response. diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/dossiers-pa…
My letter to the Attorney General seeking clarification of the Government’s position regarding enforcement in the UK of the ICC arrest warrant issued against Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel.
New ASPI report: We identify several prominent Chinese companies that are putting persuasive technologies to work for China’s propaganda, military and public-security agencies. What are persuasive technologies and why does this matter for democracies? Keep reading:
President-elect Trump will ensure we remain on the path to decarbonization by raising fuel prices and making EVs more competitive
if you take Trump's threat to put a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods seriously, one of the first results would be an immediate increase in gas prices, especially in the midwest—Canadian pipeline-transported crude feeds key refineries throughout the US
Greece now borrows at a lower interest rate than France. 5-year government yields are now lower for Greece (i.e. negative yield spread).
as someone who works at an independent cinema, i’m increasingly unsettled by the extent to which international, low-budget and arthouse films are only kept in cinema by senior patrons.
Movies turning into a once-a-year special event for most people is correlated to theatre etiquette getting worse -- they're out of practice or unaware of the norms, and feel entitled to 'make the most of' the event (like they would filming a concert etc)
Too much analysis over the Trump's rhetoric over tariffs and military action in Mexico drifts into "not even they would do something that stupid" tropes that led Europe and Eurasia specialists like, well, me to make serious mistakes in assessing Russian intentions in 2021
“Mexico and Canada are two of the United States' three largest suppliers of agricultural products ($45.4 billion and $40.1 billion, respectively, in 2023). Mexico supplied 23 percent of the United States’ imported products, including horticultural products such as fruit,…
People don't realize that the Dallas AIRPORT is basically the size of Paris
People don't realize that DFW is basically the size of the New Hampshire and has 6X the population.
Exclusive: The UK recently resupplied Ukraine with dozens more Storm Shadow missiles ahead of the decision to approve their use inside Russia, the first such transfers since Keir Starmer took office bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Introducing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) An open standard we've been working on at Anthropic that solves a core challenge with LLM apps - connecting them to your data. No more building custom integrations for every data source. MCP provides one protocol to connect them all:
Growing discussion in European capitals of possibility of troop deployments. Estonian FM publicly raised the idea a week ago. But my understanding is no-one has yet looked at the issue in concrete detail, calculating how many troops needed, what capabilities, what cost, etc.
UK & France could send troop to Ukraine according to @lemondefr today, citing talks between them about how to deal with incoming Trump admin. My interpretation is there could be 3 scenarios: - if RU troops broke through & were heading for Kyiv (v unlikely but Macron has suggested…
Romanians: "I want a country like the West" *Monkey paw curls* 🖐️ Trump like figure emerges Exit-polls very mistaken Traditional center-left, center-right candidates implode Second round between a liberal outsider and a social-media far-right populist outsider
If this holds (and it should) it will be the first time after 1989 that PSD doesn't make it to the 2nd round of the presidential elections. The so-called "post-1989 transition" is officially over! A new era begins...
Chinese propaganda department advises Elon Musk on his platform.
The second round of the Romanian elections come down to a battle between a winner of Celebrity Masterchef and a fan of 1930s Fascism
Romania: With over 97% of the votes counted, liberal candidate Elena Lasconi (USR-RE) has overtaken Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu (PSD-S&D) to secure second place.
The Georgescu vote correlates well with places that used to see PNL win, but now that vote collapsed. Transylvania, Bucovina, Prahova, Bucharest-Ilfov, Dobrogea are all former PNL-leaning areas. Iohannis and his boy Ciucă have a huge moral responsibility for this. Curse them!

Ukraine’s frontline defenders are increasingly deflated by systemic weakness, most notably mobilisation problems. In one brigade, new recruits are 45+, and many with doctors’ notes. One commander complained he felt he was in charge of “a day care centre, not a combat unit.”
The morale is the story. My dispatch from Zaporizhia, where the threat of a Russian offensive looms (though not everyone is convinced) economist.com/europe/2024/11… from The Economist
Same for 🇬🇧 Civil Service. You might be a world expert in a certain area but if you can't explain exactly how you've Seen the Big Picture or Worked Together then you won't even get an interview.
The hiring process for federal government employees is unbelievably stupid
