One of the Four Greatest Inventions of China, the ancient method of papermaking. "Fire paper", which took a year to create using ancient methods, has been replaced by technology because it took too long to survive. #Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage #Traditional Craft…
'Knight' sounds like 'night' but it's written with a K. That's because it used to start with a [k] sound, just like German 'Knecht', which has the same origin. The letters GH used to be pronounced as well. Here's the evolution from Proto-Germanic to Southern British English:

China produces 5x to 6x as much electricity as India. And the GDP is also the same ratio. If you don’t have electricity, you can’t have factories. Also, how much productivity is lost due to power outages? Infrastructure is the foundation for economic development.

China's biggest headache: a huge current account surplus means China gets tons of Dollars all the time, but it doesn't want to put those into US Treasuries. The solution: imports lots of Dollar-invoiced commodities. That inventory build helps cut China's financial ties to the US.
Following @russianforces' identification of Kosmos-2553 as the alleged nuke-weapon-related satellite, I have added a summary to the draft JSR issue at planet4589.org/latest.html
what will rise from the sam ashes?
Sam Ash, the family-owned chain of music stores that supplied countless beginners and working musicians with guitars, drums and other instruments, is closing all of it locations after 100 years in business, it announced this week. nyti.ms/3JITkCG
"The European Union will adopt a joint decision concerning the return of Ukrainian men of conscription age to their homeland. Such a statement was made by the adviser to the head of the President's Office Mykhailo Podolyak... According to him, this is an absolutely correct…
The secret to work life balance is generational wealth
Now, there is not much information about this satellite. But there is some. So far, Cosmos-2553 is believed to be a radar satellite, although it has also been linked to programs that studied the impact of ionizing radiation on satellites. 7/
How exactly it is linked to some nuclear weapons in space is unclear. The good news is that, in Stewart's words "this is not an active capability that has already been deployed." So, no nuclear weapons in space yet. Good to know. But Cosmos-2553 deserves a closer look. 8/8
I think we can tell which satellite is responsible for the "Russian nuclear something in space" scare. It's Cosmos-2553. Let's start with Mallory Stewart's statement earlier today at CSIS youtube.com/watch?v=dkDupS… 1/
@sopjap Ironically, Sumlenny has a better understanding of the success of Maidan in Ukraine and the failure in Belarus than the denialist and ethno-nationalist discourse police demonstrate. A different question is about the consequences of relying on the far right journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
@leonidragozin Yes, absolutely! For a big majority of Ukrainians, it was not even an "award". But it was for a significant segment of Ukraine's political class and of even bigger part of the "civil society" pretending to speak on behalf of the country they don't represent and, in fact, despised
‘Disgruntled and embittered women (@rochowanski and I) who have Stalinist dreams.’ If this doesn’t make you want to read our article even more now 😂😂 jacobin.com/2024/05/georgi…
I’m sorry, but it shouldn’t be controversial or enraging to say that a civil society dependent on outside aid risks being distorted into something astro-turfed.
Amen
I’m sorry, but it shouldn’t be controversial or enraging to say that a civil society dependent on outside aid risks being distorted into something astro-turfed.
Mallory Stewart speaking at CSIS re "Russia's New Space Threat" youtube.com/live/dkDupSaxb… US sees a satellite that is deployed in orbit that is not normally used by satellites [and is well-positioned to do something with radiation belts?]. Any weird satellites lately? 1/?
Despite the fact that the opposition media was closed down by the government? I wouldn’t like to be doing these rankings. Without prejudice, How do you decide between what is Russian politically backed media and Russian language media that trying to represent minority view.

@Noahpinion Not quite. What it is saying is that (i) certain foreign companies are having trouble with rising domestic competition - I heavily suspect the capital-intensive foreign automaker JVs that are having notable difficulties with the ICE-to-EV transition. They are pulling out /…
@Noahpinion While these reinvested earnings thus say nothing about decoupling, they do point to declining profitability of foreign owned subsidiaries in China. But that is a separate issue and is more about the cyclical up and down in China. We saw the same dip in earnings in 2015/6.
@Noahpinion I’m afraid not. Reinvested earnings in the BoP are a book-keeping item that isn’t associated with any flows. The book-keeping item is on both sides of the BoP, i.e. in the current account and financial account. These earnings thus say NOTHING about decoupling…
