Ich bin kein Ökonom, aber wie zum Teufel soll unsere Wirtschaft funktionieren, wenn private Nachfrage zerstört wird, indem man junge Leute dazu zwingt, jeden Cent für Miete auszugeben, und älteren ständig klar macht, dass sie eisern sparen sollen, weil Pensionen künftig wohl kräftig gekürzt werden?

Die Energiewende geht vielen nicht zu schnell sondern zu langsam.

📊 57 % sagen: zu langsam
📊 Nur 15 %: zu schnell

Besonders deutlich:
🔴 67 % unter 35 wollen mehr Tempo

Das zeigt: Die Mehrheit ist weiter als die Politik.
Jetzt braucht es Umsetzung statt Kurzschluss. ⚡️

Because we get asked a lot.
The Technological Republic, in brief.
1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.
3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.

4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.
6. National service should be a universal duty.
We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.
7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commi

8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.
9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.
10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.
11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.

12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.l. is set to begin.
13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect.
But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.
14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren
— have never known a world war.
15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese

Balkonkraftwerke sind doch sozial eigentlich eine gute Sache. Klar gibt es viele Wohnungen ohne Balkon oder mit Nordbalkon, aber es gibt doch nicht wenige Geringverdiener, die davon profitieren würden.
Die Ideen mit Mieterstrom etc. sollte man natürlich trotzdem on top machen.

For years I've been looking for the right guest to do a pod on this. The car-sales model that is dictated by law in the US -- you must go to a dealership & suffer for hours in order to buy one -- is one of the most nakedly anti-social special interest giveaways in history. Needs to be killed dead.

Erst vor wenigen Tagen veröffentlichte der @dwdderwetterdienst.bsky.social neue Klimamodelle für Deutschland. Ergebnis: Es wird heißer, es wird extremer.

Angesichts dessen das Fliegen billiger zu machen - zumal in einer extremen Energiekrise wie aktuell - ist schlicht Wahnsinn.

Nö. Wie werden obviously von fossilen Energiekonzernlobbyisten regiert, die genau das machen wofür sie vom CEO Posten ins Amt gekommen sind: Rückabwicklung der emanzipatorischen Energiewende (Solar, Wind, dezentrale Netze), Schaffung von zentralisierten Pfadabhängigkeiten für die Energiekonzerne.

Es ist doch erstaunlich: Überall wird debattiert, wie sich die steigenden Preise für Benzin & Gas ertragen und senken lassen – doch kaum ein Verantwortlicher fragt, wie wir uns von den fossilen Importen lösen können.
Und zwar möglichst schnell.
Dabei ist genau das die einzige langfristige Lösung🧵

Nicht die Energiewende ist teuer. Teuer ist das fossile System.

Bluesky announces $100M Series B after CEO transition | TechCrunch The additional funds have been used to scale Bluesky's team, while the company continues to develop Bluesky's app and the underlying ATProto that powers it.

So Bluesky raised 100 million USD in April last year from a bunch of crypto scammers and just "forgot" to tell people?

And they released it after getting a new CEO who will push for growth (and probably monetization)?

Sounds super healthy and normal.

My latest on Russia’s Matryoshka operation and the bots that are spreading fake stories about Ukraine to inflame tensions to help keep Russia’s puppet Orbán in power.

These bots were just focused on Epstein conspiracies and local German elections, and now have shifted to Hungary.
