Where's my free electricity?
Wind is currently generating over 4 times as much energy as natural gas. It's actually generating more than all other sources combined, right now. Just wanted to make you aware of that and see how maddening it is that Badenoch wants to repeal the Climate Change Act.

Greatly suspect majority of bank staff don't understand how banks work
During office hours I showed an undergraduate how commercial banks make brand-new deposits when they issue loans and he said "I can't believe they're just allowed to do that" and I thought "I know, my dude. I know."

People ask me why I don't do more testing with Nvidia Jetson.

I think the reaction to the (overpriced) DGX Spark is a good illustration. Costs too much for what it does, alternatives are better supported and faster at a lower price point, and you don't get stuck on an old OS.

Trump sells his followers a vision of glorious de-globalization, but what he's causing is de-Americanization.

I dive in with a big picture look at how Trump is changing the world to America's disadvantage and China's opportunity, touching on Vietnam, China, Canada, Europe, tariffs, TPP, and more.
Opinion | How Trump threw away America's global trade leadership
International economic integration will continue, with or without the U.S. — and China will benefit most.

Truman show is the only salvation
If I was a White House staffer, I’d probably give Trump a phone with a fake social media account that he could angrily type away at but which didn’t actually appear on the internet.

One Russian newspaper today accuses the Trump administration of “administrative insanity, inexperience, immaturity…(of) bragging and arrogance…” Another paper: “On Ukraine talks, Donald’s mood changes as often as the wind.” #ReadingRussia

Nope, there's a certain low level of aversion and animosity between any two neighbor countries, sometimes it's just banter, pick any two find out. An outright attack on sovereignty and human values is something quite different.
