    1) The Trump trade policy overall is on face bad for the US, 2) Carney has a very well known reputation for being prickly which you saw in the (self defeating if politically popular) press conference, 3) claiming last second changes and not saying what they were is nonsense. 1/2

    The Prado has a fair argument for the best peaks of any museum in the world. Garden of Earthly Delights, sure, but wait until you see hundreds of religious paintings then walk into the insane Goya room and see Saturn kill off that whole style. Blew my mind when I was 24.

    This is pretty cool! I visited the Prado for the first time last year, and nothing matches the magic of walking into the room with the Garden of Earthly Delights for the first time, but if you can't make it to Madrid, check out this site.

    If you are young and ambitious, you should work on crazy things like this even if 90% they don't work out. And if you want to know the secret to Silicon Valley, it is that the money and the permission structure encourage young ambitious people to do things like this.

    Today, we’re launching Meteoric (YC S26). Our drones clear clouds over solar farms to increase their annual output by 10-30% without using any chemicals. Ultimate target: weaken severe storms and hurricanes. meteoric.earth

    While it is true that AI heads have made claims that it will cause unemployment, as an economist I'd be much more worried that *not* diffusing AI will cause it! Your industrial base would be competing against folks w/ much better technology. The public should take this seriously.

    Maybe. The anti-data centers impulse is downstream of a broader turn against AI. That’s probably because the very people building it keep talking about how it will put everyone out of work & may very well destroy the world. A good reason to oppose giant building projects for it!
