But the article analyses those points and concludes (a) forced labor is bad but not a big part of the finances, and (b) the US does just as much subsidization.

Interesting point about tariffs specifically in renewables:

[Tariffs are] not good interventions if the goal [is] to increase the number of energy jobs in European and American markets. That’s because most clean energy jobs are in deployment and maintenance rather than manufacturing, and since higher costs slow down the rollout of renewables, increasing prices reduces the total number of people working in clean energy (even if the number working in manufacturing increases).

It’s still unclear if they had a backup anchor to the piton, which is a common practice for rock climbers, said Joshua Cole, a guide and co-owner of North Cascades Mountain Guides who has been climbing in the area for about 20 years.

Very curious if this is a case of missing safety practices, or of common safety practices not always being enough.

I’m just wishing my utility offered Time of Use rates so I could meaningfully optimize my EV charging and water heating use timing.

From the NY Times:

Mr. Alexander is an American Israeli dual citizen who grew up in Tenafly, N.J.

In 2022, during his senior year of high school, he joined Garin Tzabar, which prepares young people from around the world to join the Israel Defense Forces. He moved to Israel to serve in the military after he graduated and was assigned to the infantry.

Mr. Alexander was stationed near the border with Gaza in September 2023

From another article, he said something like “why should I pay for the Israeli government’s mistake”. Sounds like this falls into the ‘just following orders doesn’t protect you’ category; not feeling a lot of sympathy.

Grassroots Leadership the organization who has been working to locate & represent the family. (No connection or other knowledge of them, just looking to highlight folks doing necessary work.)

This is the way. Being able to hire people is one of the top things that affect company policy.

Apart from its digital gauge cluster that also serves as the rearview camera display, power locks, cruise control, and a forward-collision-warning system with automated emergency braking, the Truck offers little in the way of luxuries.

Sounds nice. I do like highway lane following, but not essential.

I hope the repercussions land on Trump and his cronies, and but just on this particular show of global bullying around tariffs.

Short article.

Putin told Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, during a meeting in St Petersburg earlier this month that Moscow could relinquish its claims to areas of four partly occupied Ukrainian regions that remain under Kyiv’s control, the report said citing three people familiar with the talks.

So wait, Putin is willing to make a deal with Trump in which he cedes invaded land that he doesn’t actually control?

I can’t tell from the article if there’s a real problem. None of the levels exceed FDA thresholds, and it sounds bad, but there’s also no definite claim of harm.

Hah, yeah I got a Debian floppy and then tried to install packages over DSL. Somehow it didn’t immediately kill my interest in Linux, eventually ran OpenBSD as my server for a while.

Citation?

“And he paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosives to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit an attack,” investigators said in the federal affidavit.

What’s “mass” about one drone? Is this just language to bring different legalities to bear?

Here he is:

What a mom, just reassuring her daughter the whole time.

If you haven’t played with Pulumi (for configuring cloud services) and Ansible (for local services, shell commands, apt installs etc) you may enjoy them as a way to capture / re-apply configuration.
