Cost effective versions of it will be ones that much more robotic in focus, missile systems as everyone knows are expensive, but a persistent collection of drones in the air, land & sea is effectively an active shield and the costs can take advantage of the consumer supply chain
If you are being serious about preventing the worst effects again, of course there is building alternative outlets, but those outlets could equally be destroyed, the ultimate insurance is to eliminate the effectiveness of any attacks, thus they should be massively investing in anti drone tech
Obvious question Arab States should ask themselves, under what scenario would resolution satisfy them that this won't happen again in 2, 5 or 10 years. Struggle to imagine one with confidence. And given that it could be used again, what is value do they place on it preventing it.
Because once its used, its much easier, likelier to use it again, in scenario where Iranian hardliners are frustrated with some future issue, they will appeal to using this tool again, likewise the fact its been deployed leaves lingering fear in markets and insurance
I think underrated possibilities is that effectively the Hormuz never reopens as before, as we get periodic flare ups too, in that scenario, the entire strait becomes absolutely blanketed in a robotics and missile shield
We will build an EU army or we will pay tribute to the Russian and American armies.
Its generalised problem in the anglosphere world, audience capture from US audiences, huge swaths of the irish cohort online are just squarely targeting different segments of americans, big accounts with rah rah irish nationalist meme's make no sense locally and are not popular, but are in america
LLM prose is everywhere now. How did it happen so quickly? I think at some point we have to stop blaming the technology. new post
Think Soros it's lumped in with vague internationlism, stuff about the Sterling and dissolve the borders vision, of course regardless of anything in reality. Soros is more euro coded with philosophical writings, vs. bloombergs rich new york guy
The levels of moustache. First you notice the obvious one and the more you look the more moustache there is
Have you tried the new game? Any good
Beijing, September 2016). Studying President Obama's refusal to enforce the 'red line' over Syria in 2012, PLA analysts judged him to be a weak and indecisive leader. They calculated that America's preoccupation with the Middle East and Russia would divert its attention from the South China Sea, giving China a rare window of opportunity to make rapid and irreversible gains. They thus put a premium on the scale and speed of island building (interview with an influential government advisor, Beijing, December 2016). The PLA's exclusion of the MFA in the island building decision-making
@miyhnea.bsky.social probably seen this before, from this www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Reading more only now, am shocked at how bad economic performance has being, and how high unemployment is. Austerity in light of economy clearly not running at full capacity is doubly crazy, using 2026 prediction as baseline, Poland will be richer soon using PPP

Has it been always like that, hadn't realised Finns were like Turbo German Conservatives? Most be worry if its so baked into finnish discourse, is there a larger perspective shift required among the electorate?
What prompted it?
Wow still going this hard on this bollox in 2026? Ireland first, let Ukrainians be bombed and frozen to death.
Sinn Féin will always be populist nationalists first, leftists and cosmetic “anti-imperialists“ second.
You can even have quibbles about neutrality without slandering Ukrainian defence as “weapons of war” (who’s war, who started it, to what end) and fear mongering about “escalation“ in 2026 as if some more air defence missiles in Kyiv will deliver nuclear apocalypse.
Revolting.
Though maybe shouldn't be too surprised. It does seem kinda related to not really understanding a general audience and what they like
Was surprised by the more tech purist types not understand the projects appeal, sense dismissing as in anyway interesting, this and the principle project of the bot. Security aside, its quite obvious to me the appeal for people and especially the style and personality of the whole experience.
Like Jesus Christ, just WW2 stuff happening over there in the corner
Seen grokipedia appear in reasoning for other models too with web search, showed up even in GPT 5.2 pro
At certain point though, if its subject like Stats & Prob, actually doing some associated project using the knowledge or teaching it to other people is the ultimate method to solidify things. No real shortcut either to just going through lots and lots of worked examples, math academy helps with that
Used multiple things, taught multiple people & recommended different methods, but best found, based on results has been math academy, its paid, but very much worth it, and supplement with textbooks if needed and YouTube. But its quite self contained
Really key is just need to solve lots of problems

Have ever looked into municipal bonds or the more unusual stuff. High schools with 100s of millions dollar debts for usually mini sport stadiums. Look some the things just confused what the hell the money was spent on. Since lot is property tax funded it's all very rickety from a recessionary angle
Not really sure how this can be solved, its very obvious in rural parts of Poland, Spain, or Italy I have been. Poland the transition is dramatic, outside of the main urban areas, its like two different economies

Find the idea that the Pope & IRA are some important corner stone of anything in Ireland now bit old timey. Some poor quality 1980s dated chanting material

Kind of insane how in 2025 a big European country is just living through The Blitz every week while the rest of us Europeans mostly carry on like normal.
Don't know how can look at the present admin and not assume more of this, regardless of supposed narratives about shifting back from positions after pressure. It's rather this process constant policy enshittification constantly breaking things and hoping no crisis arrives
It's what confuses me about market coverage. The tariffs are not the economic headwind it's the machine that makes those decisions. Tariffs will be riddled with exceptions, pull backs and changes. But fundamentally it's the self harming policy generation machine that has 40+ months left.
