People always ask me : “Cristi, how do you manage parenting a baby while going up for tenure?”

It’s easy. The secret is *flow-based-scheduling*. Here are its three core strategies for new academic parents:

Sleep when the baby sleeps
Cry when the baby cries
Publish when the baby publishes

Tämä sairastavuusmalli on hölmö tapa jakaa sote-rahat. En usko sellaista regressiota löytyvän joka todella toimisi vaan kyseessä on insinööriharha. Joko malli on liian yksinkertainen (pelattavissa, epäoikeuden mukainen) tai liian monimutkainen hallittavaksi. www.hs.fi/politiikka/a...
Sote | Laskelmissa oli virhe: Valtaosa alueista saakin ilmoitettua vähemmän rahaa
Hyvinvointialueiden rahoituslaskelmat menivät uusiksi. Suurin osa alueista menettää rahaa, neljä aluetta saa lisää.

Pelottaako sinua pyöräilijänä liian läheltä ohittavat autot? Mua pelottaa.

Siksi lähdin mukaan tällaiseen kansalaisaloiteprojektiin, missä vaaditaan 1,5 metrin ohitusetäisyyttä lakiin.

Jos haluat tukea aloitetta, niin allekirjoitta ja jaa 🙏

if EU lacks courage to act on the easy issue of Russian frozen assets. Then conclusion should be that the current EU is past its BB-date and beyond repair.

This is simply unsustainable. I'm willing to let France off the hook, as they at least provide a nuclear deterrent. But Italy and Spain need to step up & chip in on common military security for all Europeans.

Dear USA. We have EGGS in Europe. You have weapons. How about a deal? Eggs for guns to Ukraine. www.hs.fi/talous/art-2...

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

This is true. So what can Europe do? In the short term, it can improve Ukraine's "outside option" - ie what Ukraine gets if it says "no" to whatever Trump and Putin cook up. /
This — but Europe can only empower Ukraine to reject a bad deal by creating a better one.
Every non-Ukrainian in the West should look at that photo and imagine that it was your own country that was being negotiated over by the Trump and Putin administrations after almost three years of mass national sacrifice to defend your homeland.

Europe must empower Ukraine to reject a bad deal.
