SpaceX’s valuation is mostly Starlink. Starlink’s valuation is high because A) who would overbuild? B) operating leverage. Should be worth seriously less because countries will now fund rivals EVEN IF losses are high and governments will forbid use of Starlink (so leverage goes other way)

Okay, so we can all see what's on the horizon and part of the blackmail against Ukraine Starlink will be turned off especially for frontline areas. This is clear as day, no matter what Ukraine aggress to or not with the 'mineral rights' or 'elections' BS. But for us #NAFO, this raises a big issue.

Europe can fairly easily replace American military support for Ukraine, but it will require massive investments to replace U.S. in NATO. Interesting assessments from @kiel.institute. www.ifw-kiel.de/fileadmin/Da...

Following on last weeks package of 6 billion Euro, this 20.9 billion Euro package is outright stunning. This means that EU itself will be sending 100 - 150 percent more arms and munitions to Ukraine compared to what the US did in 2024. 1/6

Great illustration of how Ukraine started the war.

NEW: We spoke with federal workers grappling with symptoms of paranoia around technology due to DOGE's incursion, including some fearful of their own home networks, and take a hard look at the range of tools the government currently uses to monitor its workforce: www.wired.com/story/survei...

One of the lessons of historical end use energy demand is while the total keeps going up, any time someone creates a new singular "energy hog" process someone else figures out how to reduce its energy intensity. AI will be no exception, & because it's digitized it will fall faster & more than most

"The increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."-- @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Nice: ”Prevention: Stepping up security requirements and risk assessments on submarine cables, while prioritising funding for the deployment of new and smart cables, allowing for increased redundancies and consequently enhancing resilience.”

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

🇪🇺 🇫🇮 "Great! Former Finnish President Niinistö's report on military/civilian preparedness will serve as the basis for EU plans on defence. He has been advocating for a European Army long before it was cool. A big leap forward." by @eeldenden.bsky.social #EU #Army #Military #Defense

While often less known and sometimes less etsablished, there is a European or at least open source offering for pretty much every application both for consumers and companies. european-alternatives.eu lists digital products as a starting point, but I invite everyone to add what they know/recommend.

There are many 🇺🇦 charity foundations, humanitarian and/or military: u24.gov.ua savelife.in.ua/en/ prytulafoundation.org/en Also on bsky you can follow 2 feeds with many 🇺🇦 fundraisers run by volunteers who provide things directly to soldiers: bsky.app/profile/did:... bsky.app/profile/did:...

Next week, the new European Commission will put forward its clean industrial policy plans. In a new paper, @ph-jaeg.bsky.social and I dig into what this strategy needs to deliver— backed by lots of brand-new *sectoral* data on the distribution of national subsidies. Here are our main takeaways:

The U.S. has threatened European govts as follows: agree on the terms of Ukraine's surrender within three weeks or we withdraw from Europe. The source is Mika Aaltola, Member of the European Parliament, formerly Director of the Finnish Inst. of International Affairs. I know him, he's solid.

NEW: I took a look at the power of regenerative braking in electric cars - and how it reduces particulate pollution from these vehicles! www.thereengineer.pro/p/how-evs-ef...

Friends, We must focus on remaining emotionally sturdy and supporting #Ukraine. There's a lot of work ahead of us.
