US cuts off intelligence sharing with Ukraine Fresh blow to embattled government in Kyiv as Trump administration shifts on conflict

Bad, bad news. Unnecessary, punitive, vindictive. "The US has cut off intelligence-sharing with Kyiv in a move that could seriously hamper the Ukrainian military’s ability to target Russian forces, according to officials familiar with the matter." www.ft.com/content/c58f...

В тахо мы сейчас, но давай, я за! Тем более, что напишешь, а все поймут не так, каждый о своём думает.

They Built Their Fireproof Dream Home. Even if It Lasted, Would They? (Gift Article) The Vogts designed their Malibu house to withstand disasters. But they were only beginning to learn the mental toll the fires would take on them.

I don't think it's completely lost. My mom is attending an esl program at the Berkeley adult school. There are recent immigrants from all over the world studying together, the program is very effective and free to residents. And most of students work.

Germany Opened Its Doors to Migrants. Now It’s Struggling to Cope. Even before the Christmas market attack, the nation was straining under the influx. But the economy needs new workers.

Germany really needs to fix its policies. They are now stupid and unproductive: "Only 18% of the more than one million Ukrainian refugees work and earn enough not to qualify for benefits, compared with 65% of them in the U.K. and 61% in Poland" www.wsj.com/world/europe...

How a simple math error sparked a panic about black plastic kitchen utensils A study warned that people were being exposed to a toxic chemical from kitchen utensils. But the researchers misstated the safe daily limit

Ummm

“Lead author Megan Liu, science and policy manager at Toxic-Free Future, described the mistake as a “typo” and said her co-authors have submitted a correction to the journal. The error remains in the online version but Liu said she anticipates it will be updated soon.”

When I retire, I'll spend my days listening to Stephen Kotkin. Each question, however random, he turns into a fascinating story. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

I'm trying to square the face that Romania has had the highest economic growth among EU members in the last several years with "They've done absolutely nothing for 35 years. Just a few new pavements, that's it".

Assad's son defends his PhD thesis at Moscow State University Hafez al-Assad, the eldest son of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has successfully defended his doctoral dissertation in mathematics at Moscow ...

I was very surprised to learn that Asad's son is a math PhD student at Moscow University and just defended his PhD thesis. So landing in Moscow seems more likely! www.intellinews.com/assad-s-son-...

If one side loses the will to fight, no military equipment can help.

Stabbed unlikely but encountering someone yelling, sleeping on multiple seats, mumbling incoherently, playing loud music and behaving aggressively when asked to lower the volume or engaging in some other not necessarily criminal but unpleasant behavior is very likely.

I generally agree but see a huge momentum in the last two-three weeks or so. Maybe not in the startup ecosystem (yet?), but definitely in politics/science/journalism.

It's absurd to spend time and effort demanding that Russia neighbors wear white gloves when Russia routinely breaks treaties (starting from Budapest memorandum) and commits war crimes on a daily basis.

This person was stupid enough to leave a paper trail. I was wondering how many just silently reject all jews.

"may eventually prompt...to consider" - reminds me of "we're deeply concerned by... and strongly condemn"

Visited Bainbridge island today! Got there on a ferry, without a car. Fortunately, on-demand buses work amazingly. They even have an Uber-like app. This is where I was trying to get to.

"Texas shouldn’t be doing more solar than us" - glad to see it coming from a California lawmaker.
