yesterday, my postdoc funding (salary and research funds) was cancelled by the National Science Foundation, effective immediately. I received the same generic, vaguely threatening, typo-ridden email as many of my colleagues who have had their awards terminated recently. (1/n)
email starting, "The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has undertaken a review of its award portfolio. Each award was carefully and individually reviewed, and the agency has determined that termination of certain awards is necessary because they are not in alignment with current NSF priorites."

This chart is so crazy I can't even.
A graph mapping Life expectancy at birth to health spending as percent of GDP of various countries. The obvious outlier is the US with insanely high spending (17-18% of GDP) and lowest life expectancy at just below 78 years.

Ajay Banga, president of the World Bank. said about private finance: “It is not a panacea for everything. This idea that the trillions are waiting in the private sector to rush into the development of a poor emerging market country — that’s not what I’m telling you”.
Just tax it if you „need“ it 🙄

I bought new NewBalance v6s, and I still prefer my v4s. It‘s been a step down instead of up for the new generation imho

„US median real wages (hourly compensation) grew at above 2.5 percent per year between 1949 and 1973. Then from 1980 onward, median wages all but stopped growing—increasing only 0.45 percent per year, even though the average productivity of workers continued to rise (with an annual average growth rate of over 1.5 percent from 1980 to the present).“ From Power and Progress by Johnson and Acemoglu

Using readwise shows me how many people who like learning are into crypto stuff, sadly. Probably correlated to privilege of money & time? Also it feels like many people are interested in things they have already learned many times, instead of trying to extend. However uncomfortable it may be

Fun fact: Superior Banded Iron Formations are called that because they were originally found at lake Superior, but because they are in any way superior

Why didn't farmers discover the scientific method first, and then spread it to new areas? "Try the new technique on 10% of the field, keep the rest the same for comparison," seems like a very natural idea for a farmer to come up with, in hindsight.

Alle Dinge, die wir uns wünschen, von Klima- und Umweltschutz bis hin zu der sozialen Absicherung in unserem Land, haben alle eine materielle Grundlage. Ohne ein starkes wirtschaftliches Fundament bleiben diese Dinge unfinanzierbare Versprechungen.
