A waste of everyone’s time, but who is paying and how much?

The Crypto Chokehold Trump’s return has vaulted pro-crypto interests into power. As they capture ever more Democrats, the political will to stop them is dwindling.

Clarity Act "If signed into law, the legislation will lead to the near-total deregulation of crypto, gutting almost all financial regulations and monitoring mechanisms that could place limits on the system." #finreg www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

Thanks for sharing this. Really interested in emerging scholarly practices :)

What discussion, if any, are you having about adjusting standards of *academic* productivity/achievement by numbers and getting a handle on quality?

Very interesting! Now, just need the time to read it :)

Beats me :) I am thinking of the scared woman on TikTok whose DoorDash driver fled into her house and she was asked, in effect, to analyze the case on the spot…

So, based on my reading here:
1) adm warrants are not judicial warrants
2) ICE can enter a private home in β€œhot pursuit,” of an undoc. person

Am I following?

Q: does ICE need to know that the person they are pursuing is, in fact, undoc. or is it enough to suspect this for them to enter the home?

So, how many ppl are still working as non-T aligned AUSAs? Reads like a call due to a shortage to ppl.

Any reading of manageable length (e.g not a book :) about the alternative proposals?

Do you have an article you liked about either of these topics? (AMA tool in intelligence or a target)

The Fed was exempt from one of the new SC decisions destroying the independence of regulatory agencies (T v. Wilcox?). Could your analysts explain how the ruling you are referring to and the Wilcox ruling are related to each other?

Isn’t the national interest whatever the foreign policy executive says it is regardless of whether others find it β€œabhorrent or stupid”? Or some of those researchers thinking like this could never have imagined what’s going on now?

Even if it was perfect, the trade-off is still huge (energy needs, environmental impact, labor and societal implications) when the traditional alternative in most professional fields is less destructive).

This is not a mass market tool for everyday use.

Opinion | The SEC May Make Wall Street Analysts Corrupt Again Regulators end a settlement that stopped investment bankers from influencing researchers.

In public, "buy, buy" - in private e-mails, "a pig," "a POS"

The relationship between analysts and investment banks changed in 2003, when the SEC "required banks to separate their research and banking operations under... the Global Research Analyst Settlement." #finreg www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

Wonder how much the aggressive onboarding of AI tools intersects with the line of thinking that thought is public, not private, we all rely on ideas β€œin the air,” property is antithetical to freedom (copyright vs. free speech) etc. which are a really poor fit for this moment …

First time I am reading about this, but have been interested in the flip side, where AI tools make it possible to separate writing from thinking, so now we get a lot of words that we mistake for thoughts. Interesting what must be mushed together and what connections need to be ignored…

But something is still happening, and that’s still worth following? The other countries negotiating also have demands: some of those are met, but others are not.
