Since last summer, the Fed lowered interest rates three times, for the total of 0.75%. Nevertheless, the risk premium didn't change much because the fucking moron keeps creating unnecessary risks and stimulates inflation.

MEGA!

Two thirds of Americans don't buy into Trump's "imminent threat" narrative. 68% think that the administration has yet to explain clearly the goals of the war. 69% of Independents disapprove of the war. Ultimately, it's a Trump cult war.
MAGA remains behind Trump and the war. They have confidence in him, even when they think it might last a long time, and they overwhelmingly approve of how he's handling the situation.

Contextually, this pattern of support from MAGA is in keeping with what we've seen on other matters — across all subjects, including military ones — over the years.

Trump has a talent for manufacturing a crisis out of nothing.

Moral or, more precisely, immoral issues aside, Epstein ran a successful service business where he provided his customers, aka "friends", with exactly what they wanted when they wanted it. He also assumed legal risks, which the customers appreciated. That aspect of the business ultimately led to his incarceration and death.

Madame Hollywood was convicted in the 1990s, so Epstein learned from her mistakes and located his high-end sex services center on an island, not in a large city like LA where the word would eventually get out.

I wonder who provides the services now and how they deal with risks.

I keep coming back to this video about the relationship between (pre-)sheafs and cohomology. Here he says that "the number one technique in mathematics is turning any problem into a linear algebra problem.

More generally, Lawvere often talks about mapping geometry to algebra.

https://youtu.be/RPuWHN0BTio?si=U0h7YM-3GlcyvnS5&t=1890



D --> J <-- T ( c: D --> T is the solution to a choice problem, per Lawvere).

d: D --> J
e: T --> J
c: D --> T

This diagram is a regular Kan extension problem, with a cohomology twist, i.e. assigning values to both objects and arrows.

FDA approved Airpods2 as hearing aids for people with mild to medium hearing loss. https://www.wsj.com/tech/personal-tech/apple-airpods-pro-hearing-aid-features-af0f2714

As soon as it rolls out the software update this fall, Apple will instantly make the AirPods Pro 2 into a medical device, essentially turning every pair of the company’s top-selling headphones into over-the-counter hearing aids.
...
75% of people with hearing loss let it go untreated, according to the Apple Hearing Study, a project run with the University of Michigan. In case you don’t trust medical statistics from a trillion-dollar company trying to sell you something, the audiologists I consulted told me that number sounded right.

Ukrainian forces said they accepted the surrender of the largest single group of Russian soldiers since the start of the war more than two years ago, as Kyiv’s military claimed to continue expanding its cross-border incursion.

A Ukrainian Security Service unit operating in Russia’s Kursk region took 102 Russian servicemen as prisoners-of-war, according to a person with knowledge of the operation, who asked not to be identified because the matter is sensitive.
