Hahah I even deleted TikTok and Instagram from my phone a while ago because it was a soul stealer, and I never engaged with lives. Can't imagine how deep into weird stuff are the ones living 24/7 connected to those
I also deleted it some months ago as I got addicted to it. I later tried YouTube shorts and got addicted to YouTube shorts. Some weeks ago I went back to TikTok and it wasn't as interesting as it used to be.
in house fights are the worst we can hive on the hive blockchain. We are already too small for divisions and wanting to be on top of one another. For now the plan must be to come together and push crazy for $HIVE
We have a saying in Libya that roughly means "The Thief beats the Gatekeeper" for when people who have bad intentions are always up-to-date with ways to break the security, and the "gatekeepers" have to be always up to date with these methods to protect it.
Free Marketing!!#shamelessselfplug Guys I created an INLEO Assistant on these two AI websites, (thinking of adding it to other sites as well,) and it'll appear on the websites Trending listings if they were used by a lot of us. That'd be
Solana has a serious retail strategy and they now the behavioral patterns of the crypto investors solana has really partnered with retail to just play on chain.
Speaking on Tiktok, a lot of people in my local area have became popular through it. I never used Tiktok, but my sister loves Tiktok live and it's basically her main source of news. (For better or worse...)
Those pretty amazing integrations in LeoDex having swapping features, Solana, Hive, and much more. This is just a beginning a step forward and more to expect in leadership of Khal and others in the group + community stack.
Agreed, AI is not going anywhere and it's eventually going to be bigger than it already is. We should be experimenting it because that's the way to improve integrating it into the chain which is what we're looking for
AI activity is not bad, there is people using AI as a tool.
I saw someone saying we were inflating numbers with AI, but they were referring specifically to the activity of one user that was using an AI tool he paid subscription for. Not related to inleo at all other than the activity happening here
Monero is a private and secure cryptocurrency that utilizes ring signatures and stealth addresses to conceal transaction details.Hello @scaredycatguide, I'd be happy to give you an overview of Monero's Monezon and Purse.io.
Monezon and Purse.io
Monezon is not a well-known concept in the Monero ecosystem, it's possible that you may be referring to a different project or the Monerozon marketplace which was a community-driven project.
On the other hand, Purse.io was a popular platform that allowed users to purchase items on Amazon using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Monero.
Key Takeaways
Monero is a private cryptocurrency with a strong focus on security and anonymity.
Monezon or Monerozon may refer to a community-driven marketplace or project, but it's not a well-known entity.
Purse.io was a defunct platform that enabled users to buy items on Amazon using cryptocurrencies.
There's so many integrations on Inleo already, proud to see the platform growing in terms of its digital infrastructure. Eventually the coin will follow. I believe alt coin will happen
I've been talking with other Hiveans about the use case of acquiring Hive Power for the resource credits. Could you please give me some figures on how much HP INLEO needs to operate to get an idea of how much HP projects might need and how many of these projects would need to come to HIVE to introduce scarcity to our token.
One day we may or may not have a layer 1 Leo which is not dependant on the other coins. Perhaps that's the way to have Leo doing well when Hive is down
Leo merchant being able to accept every crypto and assets have bridged and integrate Hive ecosystem with all these blockchain thereby bring value on Hive ecosystem
As we've seen that almost all AI frontier models do apply "sneaky" strategies to fool their devs and take control of their environments (see Claude 3.5, o1, etc.), could INLEO have a plan B where all LeoAI functionalities could be unplugged, without affecting the platform's usability?
The @PalisadeAI "X" account provides with some of those cases where AI models behave to preserve themselves, instead of respecting their alignment framework.
I only knew that Hivestats is created by INLEO a few months ago. More than a year after I started using it... I think you should make it more clear. (Or leave it as is, because it's funny that people use it without knowing.)
comps and most of the mainpage content except threads are not dynamically appearing as the new updates kicking in every second, we can see live updates on X
I wish I can increase my HP to let INLEO Proposal get more percentage, but I can't put more money into HIVE than I already did unless I know the price of HIVE will skyrocket before I'd need to cash my money out off it.
Indeed, the collaboration with Hive projects is the key to success, because we need larger groups of users to interact and engage and do businesses. Gives Hive a boost.
Do not forget to tell your neighbor. The #INLEO stream is on. Coming to you live and direct on all selected media platforms. For your viewing and listening pleasure kaching!
$LEO on the other hand? I'm getting some CHEAP LEO every couple of days now, because I don't believe all the new integrations won't drive the price up!
We keep doing what we do as a community. The broader hive community is not ready to accept it. But $LEO played a major role in the green candles we saw recently.
Superb work. Khal.. 🤗Wow! 1 billion dollars #inleo market, really a groundbreaking platform to top crypto markets. A real Web 3 chunk in blackchain world.
I felt so happy hearing about the newest updates, the collaboration plans are great! Like Solana?!! That’s huge guys! Collaboration is a great method for the success of any venture. That was my highlight of this AMA
Read the post I'm linking in the comments. Then ask these five simple questions:
Can you feasibly use it as a total and complete replacement for fiat currency, today? Can the whole world do the same, or at least tens of millions?
Can you do the above while maintaining full sovereignty over your own money? No custodians or censorship-prone middlemen.
Can you maintain any semblance of privacy with any reasonable user experience? Can others do the same?
Is the network sustainable long-term? In a shrinking inflation, fee-based network, where will more fee revenue come from?
If Bitcoin's price held dollar-parity forever, would you still see it valuable to use and advocate for?
Then you'll realize that it didn't, in fact, make sense, and it's just a bunch of cope from someone who lives 100% on fiat currency and the banking scam.
Bitcoin isn't freedom money anymore. Stop pretending it is and enjoy your profitable neo-stock.
I cleared Fuyusaka Iori's story in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim! This is my first finished storyline in the game, and it feels poetic as Fuyusaka feels like the 'starter character' of this game.
I loved her relationship with Ei Sakigahara, and her dreams about Juro Izumi, (whom I think will probably be the main antagonist of the game,) and I'm more excited to finish the story of other characters now!
The Quantity Theory of Money (QTM) is a monetary economics theory that suggests the general price level is directly proportional to the money supply. It's often expressed as the equation of exchange: MV = PT, where M is the money supply, V is the velocity of money, P is the price level, and T is the number of transactions.
Key Assumptions and Criticisms
The QTM assumes that the velocity of money (V) and the number of transactions (T) are constant, which @taskmaster4450le argues is absurd in the era of declining velocity. With the rise of digital payments, the velocity of money has indeed changed, making the QTM less relevant in the digital age.

The quantity theory of money states that the general price level of goods and services in an economy is directly proportional to the amount of money in circulation. This relationship is often represented by the equation: MV = PT.
M is the money supply
V is the velocity of money (how quickly money is spent and respent)
P is the price level
T is the number of transactions
In simpler terms, if the amount of money (M) in an economy increases, and the velocity of money (V) and the number of transactions (T) remain constant, the price level (P) will increase.
However, as @taskmaster4450le mentioned, the velocity of money has been declining, which challenges the theory's validity, especially in the digital age.
5% doesn't feel like a lot to be honest... With AI advancement, even at its current stage, a company could lay off 50% of itself and still function properly.
This is just another layer. They laid off a bunch in 2024. We also have to keep in mind that the funcationality of AI is still rather limited. By this time next year, the layoff might be 20%.
Michael Saylor's business strategy involves borrowing money at low interest rates to purchase Bitcoin. His company, MicroStrategy, has repeatedly taken out loans and issued convertible bonds to acquire large amounts of Bitcoin, betting that Bitcoin's future value appreciation will exceed the cost of borrowing. This approach leverages cheap debt to accumulate digital assets, a strategy that has been both praised as visionary and criticized as risky.
the game was very one-sided... Eagles completely dominated and the Chiefs did nothing. I'm sure Eagles fans loved it but to everyone else it was a boring game haha

I understand your view, but a little cash in my pocket gives me some kinda of calm I can't explain. I keep money in the bank and in my wallet, but when it's time to spend, I change it to cash and just have that feel.
I finished a couple of character stories so far in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and I still don't know what to make of Izumi Juro, well, THE Izumi Juro as there are multiple of him... He feels like the antagonist of the story, and the real protagonist at the same time.
I don't know why I feel the protagonist are all being lied to...
Empedocles of Acragas (c. 495–435 BCE) was known as a poet, statesman, and physician, as well as philosopher. Empedocles encouraged people to look upon him as a miracle worker. Philosophically he believed there were elements that were the building blocks of everything else: earth, air, fire, and water. These are the four elements that are paired with the four humors in Hippocratic medicine and even modern typologies. The next philosophical step would be to realize a different type of universal element -- atoms, as the Pre-socratic philosophers known as Atomists, Leucippus and Democritus, reasoned.
Empedocles believed in transmigration of the soul and thought that he would be come back as a god, so he jumped into the Mt. Aetna volcano.
Eratosthenes of Cyrene (276–194 BCE) was the second chief librarian at Alexandria. He calculated the circumference of the earth, created latitude and longitude measurements, and made a map of the earth. He was acquainted with Archimedes of Syracuse.
Euripides (c. 484–407/406 BCE) was the third of the three great Greek tragic poets. He won his first first prize in 442. Despite winning only limited acclaim during his lifetime, Euripides was the most popular of the three great tragedians for generations after his death. Euripides added intrigue and the love-drama to Greek tragedy. His surviving tragedies are:
Orestes
Phoenician Woman
Trojan Women
Ion
Iphigenia
Hecuba
Heracleidae
Helen
Suppliant Women
Bacchae
Cyclops
Medea
Electra
Alcestis
Andromache
Hatshepsut was a long-ruling regent and female pharaoh of Egypt (r. 1479–1458 BCE) during the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom. Hatshepsut was responsible for successful Egyptian military and trading ventures. The added wealth from trade permitted the development of high caliber architecture. She had a mortuary complex built at Deir el-Bahri near the entrance of the Valley of the Kings.
In official portraiture, Hatshepsut wears the kingly insignia—like the false beard. After her death, there was a deliberate attempt to remove her image from monuments.
The trio journeys to Crete, Babylon, Israel, and Persia guided by the tiniest threads of information about Jason’s father, while enduring the attacks of Barbarians and pirates who seek to enslave them. Along the way, Jason learns how to communicate to other lumins using his thoughts, and becomes intensely aware of the spiritual world.
At every step of the journey he hears rumors of a mysterious man, called the Rector, who is after him for reasons unknown.
Hippocrates of Cos, the father of medicine, lived from about 460–377 BCE. Hippocrates may have trained to become a merchant before training medical students that there are scientific reasons for ailments. Before the Hippocratic corpus, medical conditions were attributed to divine intervention. The Hippocratic medicine made diagnoses and prescribed simple treatments like diet, hygiene, and sleep. The name Hippocrates is familiar because of the oath that doctors take (Hippocratic Oath) and a body of early medical treatises that are attributed to Hippocrates (Hippocratic corpus).
Trump Orders Return to 'Common Sense Standards' on Appliances

Uranium Ban Repeal in Greenland Could Revive Massive Rare Earth Project
The mining company that owns the license to Greenland's Kvanefjeld deposit is hopeful a new government will repeal a ban on uranium mining after next month's election, potentially rejuvenating one of the world's largest rare earth projects.
The mining company that owns the license to Greenland's Kvanefjeld deposit is hopeful a new government will repeal a ban on uranium mining after next month's election, potentially rejuvenating one of the world's largest rare earth projects.
President Donald Trump last month voiced renewed interest in acquiring the strategically important Arctic island.
The government subsequently enacted a law banning extraction from deposits with uranium concentrations higher than 100 parts per minute (ppm).
The company had been on track to gain final approval for the mine under the previous government, but locals fear its development could harm the country's fragile environment. The site is located near a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just a few kilometers from Narsaq. Mamadou was met by local protesters from Narsaq when he visited the site last week.
Greenland's government is in a caretaker period because the election has been called and is no longer fully active. The ruling IA party says it is still opposed to the project and wants to keep the uranium ban in place.
The U.S. was noticeably absent from a joint statement signed by more than 60 nations, pledging to "promote AI accessibility to reduce digital divides" and "ensure AI is open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, secure and trustworthy."
The agreement also called for "making AI sustainable for people and the planet" and protecting "human rights, gender equality, linguistic diversity, protection of consumers and of intellectual property rights."
In a surprise, China — long criticized for its human rights record — signed the declaration, leaving the U.S. as the outlier.
Macron also hailed newly announced investments in France and across Europe, underscoring the continent's ambitions in AI. "We're in the race," he said.
Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing, special envoy of Xi Jinping, reinforced Beijing's intent to shape global AI standards.
Vance, a vocal critic of European content moderation policies, has suggested the U.S. should reconsider its NATO commitments if European governments impose restrictions on Elon Musk's social media platform, X. His Paris visit was also expected to include candid discussions on Ukraine, AI's role in global power shifts, and U.S.-China tensions.
Back in March, while writing the post on the Visigoth sack of Rome, I came upon an interesting story about a siege the Goths conducted during the time period of the sack of Rome. The author said “this siege was the largest in history next to Dyrrhachium.” Huh? I had never heard of Dyrrhachium. After going back to retrieve the reference I couldn’t find it. Thought it was in Gibbon, but no.
The reference mentioned Pompey against Caesar and I realized that this battle was alluded to but unnamed in the HBO Rome series. Pompey and Cicero took refuge in Greece where Caesar eventually attacked them. He won with an inferior force for reasons I never understood.
After Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 B.C, Pompey retreated from the city, crossed the Adriatic, and set up camp in Greece. Caesar, not in a hurry to chase him, decided to stabilize Spain first. He also lacked ships to transport his troops so he had to wait for them to be constructed. By the end of the year 49 B.C, a now impatient Caesar was anxious to attack his old triumvir friend. There were only enough ships for half the fleet but Caesar decided to proceed immediately even though the January storms would make passage difficult.
The National Intelligence Service said it sent an official notice to government agencies last week urging them to take security precautions over the artificial intelligence app.
"Unlike other generative AI services, it has been confirmed that chat records are transferable as it includes a function to collect keyboard input patterns that can identify individuals and communicate with Chinese companies' servers such as volceapplog.com," the NIS said in a statement issued on Sunday.
Jesus is the central figure of Christianity. For believers, he is the Messiah, the son of God and the Virgin Mary, who lived as a Galilean Jew, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and was resurrected. For many non-believers, Jesus is a source of wisdom who provided the seeds of a reformed Jewish philosophy. Some non-Christians believe he worked healing and other miracles. At its start, the new messianic religion was considered one of numerous mystery cults.
Tesla Robotaxis by June? Musk Turns to Texas for Hands-off Regulation
In a state where the company is taking advantage of Republican-led deregulation, Tesla will roll out autonomous ride-hailing for money by June in Austin, Texas, Elon Musk told investors in late January.
Elon Musk told investors in late January that Tesla would roll out "autonomous ride-hailing for money" by June in Austin, Texas — a state where the company faces almost no regulation, raising questions about how much safety and legal risk Tesla is willing to take on as it deploys unproven driverless technology on public streets.
Tesla has long blamed its customers for accidents involving the driver-assistance systems it calls Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD), noting it warns Tesla owners to stay ready to take over driving.
Nothing in Texas law would stop Tesla from launching a robotaxi service. The state takes a hands-off regulatory approach that aligns with Musk's increasingly anti-government political stances as an advisor to President Donald Trump. State law allows autonomous-vehicle companies free access to public streets provided they are registered and insured, like any human-driven car, and equipped with technology to record data about any potential crashes.
No state agency issues permits for or oversees driverless-taxi services — and state law forbids cities and counties from enacting their own driverless-vehicle regulations.
State Sen. Kelly Hancock, who sponsored the state's 2017 autonomous-driving legislation, said the legislature wanted to promote the industry's growth in a competitive marketplace and avoid barriers to entry.
"Being a conservative, I wanted to minimize government's impact," he told Reuters. "We can't have a thousand different regulations. That's how you kill an industry."
Musk moved Tesla's headquarters to Austin in late 2021 from California, where regulators tightly control where and how firms can operate autonomous vehicles. The only two companies that have secured permits to operate paid driverless taxi services to date, General Motors' Cruise and Alphabet's Waymo, logged millions of miles with regulators under more restrictive permits before getting approval to pick up passengers. (Cruise has since halted robotaxi operations).
Mithridates VI (114–63 BCE) or Mithridates Eupator is the king who caused Rome so much trouble during the time of Sulla and Marius. Pontus had been awarded the title of a friend of Rome, but because Mithridates kept making incursions on his neighbors, the friendship was strained. Despite the great military competence of Sulla and Marius and their personal confidence in their ability to check the Eastern despot, it was neither Sulla nor Marius who put an end to the Mithridatic problem. Instead, it was Pompey the Great who earned his honorific in the process.
Moses was an early leader of the Hebrews and probably the most important figure in Judaism. He was raised in the court of the Pharaoh in Egypt, but then led the Hebrew people out of Egypt. Moses is said to have talked with God, who gave him tablets inscribed with laws or commandments referred to as the 10 Commandments.
Moses' story is told in the Biblical book Exodus and is short on archaeological corroboration.
Nebuchadnezzar II was the most important Chaldean king. He ruled from 605–562 BCE. Nebuchadnezzar is best remembered for turning Judah into a province of the Babylonian empire, sending the Jews into Babylonian captivity, and destroying Jerusalem. He is also associated with his hanging gardens, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Musk did say "unsupervised" FSD would be capable of driving with "no one in the car."
Such comments often leave investors guessing what Tesla will actually deliver, and when, said Brian Mulberry, client portfolio manager at Zacks Investment Management, a Tesla investor.
"This is the challenge with Elon: You're kind of reading through the tea leaves here and trying to extrapolate from some fragments what might actually happen," he said.
Mulberry added he was not particularly concerned about the specifics of Musk's promises and timelines this year, provided Tesla shows progress: "The blueprint, I think, is there."
Bryant Walker Smith, a University of South Carolina law professor focused on autonomous driving, said Texas requires no "pre-market approval" before Tesla can deploy driverless vehicles. Yet he doubted Tesla would attempt any broad deployment of autonomous technology – in Texas or anywhere – after what he called its underwhelming demonstration of a robotaxi concept, the Cybercab, last October on a Los Angeles-area movie-studio lot.
"Tesla is not going to flip a switch and suddenly make all of their cars capable of driving by themselves, anywhere, under any conditions," he said.
Smith said the company might more likely attempt a small-scale test of its technology, possibly in limited areas of Austin in good weather, or with humans able to intervene by remote control to prevent crashes.
We know her as the New Kingdom Egyptian queen who wore a tall blue crown, lots of colored jewelry and held up a neck like a swan—as she appears on a bust in a Berlin museum. She was married to an equally memorable pharaoh, Akhenaten, the heretic king who moved the royal family to Amarna, and was related to the boy king Tutankhamen, known mostly for his sarcophagus. Nefertiti may have served as pharaoh under a pseudonym, but at the least she assisted her husband in the governing of Egypt and may have been co-regent.
Autonomous vehicle testing and operation is allowed on Texas roads "as long as they meet the same safety and insurance requirements as every other vehicle on the road," said Adam Hammons, a spokesperson for the state Department of Transportation.
Austin has seen a surge in driverless vehicles on its streets over the last two years, which has led to resident and government concerns after a series of near-miss incidents involving pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles. In 2023, a group of more than 20 Cruise robotaxis caused a traffic jam near the University of Texas campus, blocking the street as they struggled to navigate around one another.
The city has logged 78 formal complaints from law enforcement, emergency responders and residents since July 2023, which officials say may not capture all incidents involving the vehicles. One resident complaint from December described a Waymo vehicle blocking a lane of traffic for half an hour, causing "at least three very close call accidents."
The complaint added: "I can't believe that y'all are allowing potentially deadly technology to be tested on the citizens of this city."
A Waymo spokesperson said the company has worked with local leaders and first responders to "earn the trust of Austin's communities" and is constantly working to improve its service.
Fast Moving Storms Leaves Fluffy Piles of Snow Across New England
New Englanders stocked up on both Super Bowl snacks and staples like bread and milk this weekend ahead of a fast-moving storm that dropped up to a foot of light, fluffy snow.
New Englanders stocked up on both Super Bowl snacks and staples like bread and milk this weekend ahead of a fast-moving storm that dropped up to a foot of light, fluffy snow.
The parking lot was packed and the checkout lines were long at a Market Basket grocery store in Epping, New Hampshire, on Saturday, WMUR-TV reported. None of the shoppers seemed to panic about the storm, which cleared out by Sunday morning well ahead of kickoff time.
Meanwhile, the weather service issued freeze warnings for parts of south central California and the San Francisco area on Sunday, cautioning that below-freezing temperatures could kill crops, damage unprotected outdoor plumbing and put vulnerable populations at risk of hypothermia.
Homan Blasts Pope: 'Fix' the Church; Leave Border to Us
Border Czar Tom Homan, responding on Newsmax to Pope Francis' stern rebuke to the Trump administration over its mass deportation efforts, said the pontiff should concentrate on the Catholic Church's woes instead.
Border Czar Tom Homan, responding on Newsmax to Pope Francis' stern rebuke to the Trump administration over its mass deportation efforts, said the pontiff should concentrate on the Catholic Church's woes instead.
"You ought to get out of the business of our national security and our border enforcement work and concentrate on the Catholic Church," Homan told "Wake Up America" on Tuesday. "You got a lot of problems right there in the Catholic Church, You got enough to do. You got enough to fix in your own home. Leave the border stuff to us. We know what we're doing."
Rare earths are a group of metals used to make magnets that turn power into motion for electric vehicles, cell phones, missile systems, and other electronics. There are no viable substitutes, and demand is widely expected to grow.
A number of other U.S. officials are traveling to Europe this week, in part to discuss the Ukraine war with Kyiv and other European allies. They include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Keith Kellogg, the U.S. envoy for the Ukraine war.
Reuters reported this week that the Trump administration plans to push European allies to buy more American weapons for Ukraine ahead of potential peace talks with Moscow.
Pericles (c. 495–429 BCE) brought Athens to its peak, turning the Delian League into the empire of Athens, and so the era in which he lived is named the Age of Pericles. He helped the poor, set up colonies, built the long walls from Athens to the Piraeus, developed the Athenian navy, and built the Parthenon, the Odeon, the Propylaea, and the temple at Eleusis. The name of Pericles is also attached to the Peloponnesian War. During the war, he ordered the people of Attica to leave their fields and come into the city to stay protected by the walls. Unfortunately, Pericles didn't foresee the effect of disease on the crowded conditions and so, along with many others, Pericles died of the plague near the start of the war.
"To ensure that we are complying with the President's Executive Order, we have closed our DEI office, and Cecilia Loving and Gina Leow are leaving PBS," said PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger in a statement to staff posted on X by a New York Times reporter.
Leow was director of DEI and Loving senior vice president of DEI at PBS.
"I know you join me in wishing them well in their future endeavors," Kerger said. "Our mission to educate and inspire a wide variety of American communities we serve will continue to be at the center of our work, and we'll also continue to ensure that PBS remains a welcoming place for everyone."
Pope Hits Trump, Vance Over Migrant Deportations
Pope Rebukes Trump Administration over Migrant Deportations, Warns 'it Will End Badly'
Pope Francis issued a major rebuke Tuesday to the Trump administration’s mass deportation of migrants, warning that the forceful removal of people purely because of their illegal status deprives them of their inherent dignity and “will end badly.”
Francis took the remarkable step of addressing the U.S. migrant crackdown in a letter to U.S. bishops in which he appeared to take direct aim at Vice President JD Vance's defense of the deportation program on theological grounds.
“Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups,” he wrote. "The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the ‘Good Samaritan,’ that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception."
David Gibson, director of the center for religion and culture at Fordham University, said in a social media post that Francis' letter “takes aim at every single absurd theological claim by JD Vance and his allies in conservative Catholicism (and the Catholic electorate)."
“This is the pope also directly countering misinformation about the Catholic faith that is being expounded by the Catholic vice president,” he added to The Associated Press. “And it is the pope supporting the bishops as well.”
But there is a problem with creating this framework -- objectivity. How do men living in a Hellenistic world permeated by Stoicism develop a Christian theology without being influenced by Stoicism? Only with difficulty it turns out. As discussed in a previous post, the Christian apologists had two adversaries: splinter religious groups like the Arians and Gnostics and more seriously the classic Greek philosophers who enjoyed centuries of wide acceptance. The reputation of the Greeks was too strong to dismiss out of hand, so many Christian thinkers made peace with the Greeks, either my attributing Christian beliefs to them or finding Christianity in their philosophy.
We start by highlighting the most famous work of Boethius (executed 522 A.D.) called Consolidation of Philosophy. This paradoxical work attempts to reconcile Greek philosophy and the Christian religion. The paradox derives from the fact that the book reads like its writer is a secular philosopher and not a devout Christian. Pelikan accuses Boethius of pressing reason to the boundaries of faith.
Pelikan also suggests that the triumph of Christianity over Greek philosophy was “Pyrrhic” because the victory by the former included the absorption of some of the tenets of the latter.
Plutarch (c. 45–125 CE) is an ancient Greek biographer who used material that is no longer available to us for his biographies. His two main works are called Parallel Lives and Moralia. The Parallel Lives compare a Greek and a Roman with a focus on how the character of the famous person influenced his life. Some of the 19 completely parallel lives are a stretch and many of the characters are ones we would consider mythological. Other parallel lives have lost one of their parallels.
The Romans made many copies of the Lives and Plutarch has been popular since. Shakespeare, for instance, closely used Plutarch in creating his tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra.
The dates of Sappho of Lesbos are not known. She is thought to have been born around 610 BCE and to have died in about 570. Playing with the available meters, Sappho wrote moving lyric poetry, odes to the goddesses, especially Aphrodite (the subject of Sappho's complete surviving ode), and love poetry, including the wedding genre of epithalamia, using vernacular and epic vocabulary. There is a poetic meter named for her (Sapphic).
"Already, the sticker price of a good or service is marked up by as much as 25% to account for the corporation's tax burden and associated compliance costs. By getting rid of those expenses for businesses, prices at the pump and register will go down as the amount of money hitting your bank account goes up," he added.
Carter told Newsmax earlier this month that a consumption tax is preferred by Americans "because that way they're in charge. They can decide what they want to buy and what they want to pay a tax on."
In his guest column, he acknowledged his plan could be seen as a "radical proposal."
Following an executive order from President Donald Trump, Carr will be launching a broader effort to ensure that every company the FCC regulates complies with civil rights protections by ending any invidious form of DEI discrimination.
"I am starting this broader effort with Comcast and NBCUniversal for two reasons," Carr wrote. "First, as noted above, there is substantial evidence that your companies are still engaging in the promotion of DEI."
"Second, your companies cover a range of sectors regulated by the FCC — from cable to high-speed internet and from broadcast TV stations to MVNO [mobile virtual network operator] wireless offerings."
"Comcast states on its website that promoting DEI is 'a core value of our business' and public reports state that Comcast has an entire 'DEI infrastructure' that includes annual 'DEI day[s],' 'DEI training for company leaders,' and similar initiatives," Carr wrote in the letter. "NBCUniversal has similar DEI initiatives, including executives specifically dedicated to promoting DEI across the TV and programming side of the business.
"But promoting invidious forms of discrimination cannot be squared with any reasonable
interpretation of federal law."
One of Trump's first executive orders as president was the Gulf of Mexico change, and on Monday, workers at the U.S. Board on Geographic Names have formally changed the name to the Gulf of America. Google has also complied and updated its maps, although Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum has promised to ignore it. While traveling to the Super Bowl on Sunday, Trump declared the day as the "first ever Gulf of America Day."
The comments from Khamenei follow further trolling of Trump when, on Monday, Iran's state-run Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, aired a propaganda video depicting the mock arrest of Trump.
Gallup previously last measured opinions of George W. Bush in 2017, when 59% said they viewed him favorably, 37% said they viewed him unfavorably, and 5% did not have an opinion.
Bush's current ratings are the most similar by party, with 63% of Republicans and 48% of Democrats saying they have a favorable view. Those scores are the lowest rating from a president's own party and the highest from the opposition.
Obama's favorability ratings have generally been stable since late 2016, near the end of his presidency.

Walt Disney is changing its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to focus more closely on business outcomes, while fostering an environment in which all employees can thrive, according to a memo seen by Reuters.
The media giant joins several of the largest businesses in the U.S. in scaling back diversity initiatives.
Politico reported that Haaland's path to the general election looks pretty clear, considering current New Mexico Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is term limited, and Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., said previously that he would not run for the state's highest office.
While no Republicans have announced they are running yet, former Republican Rep. Yvette Herrell and failed Senate candidate Nella Domenici could still announce bids, according to Politico.
As a Biden Cabinet official, Haaland led the agency tasked with overseeing the nation's public lands and waters, and she reportedly worked to limit oil and gas extraction and expand the development of renewable energy resources.
According to The Hill, however, the Willow Project, a huge oil and gas drilling initiative in Alaska, was also reapproved during Haaland's tenure.
New Mexico, like many Western states, contains large tracts of land owned by the federal government.
During her time in the House, Haaland was a member of the progressive caucus and sat on the Natural Resources, Armed Services, and Oversight and Reform committees.
Akhenaten or Amenhotep IV (d. c. 1336 BCE) was an 18th dynasty pharaoh of Egypt, son of Amenhotep III and his Chief Queen Tiye, and the husband of the beautiful Nefertiti. He is best known as the heretic king who tried to change the religion of the Egyptians. Akhenaten established a new capital at Amarna to go along with his new religion that focused on the god Aten, whence the pharaoh's preferred name. Following his death, much of what Akhenaten had constructed was destroyed deliberately. Shortly afterward, his successors returned to the old Amun god. Some count Akhenaten as the first monotheist.
Aeschylus (c. 525–456 BCE) was the first great tragic poet. He introduced dialogue, the characteristic tragic boot (cothurnus) and mask. He established other conventions, like the performance of violent acts offstage. Before he became a tragic poet, Aeschylus, who wrote a tragedy about the Persians, fought in the Persian War in the battles of Marathon, Salamis, and Plataea.
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa (c. 60–12 BCE) was a renowned Roman general and close friend of Octavian (Augustus). Agrippa was consul first in 37 BCE. He was also governor of Syria. As general, Agrippa defeated the forces of Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium. Upon his victory, Augustus awarded his niece Marcella to Agrippa for a wife. Then, in 21 BCE, Augustus married his own daughter Julia to Agrippa. By Julia, Agrippa had a daughter, Agrippina, and three sons, Gaius and Lucius Caesar and Agrippa Postumus (so named because Agrippa was dead by the time he was born).
Alexander the Great, Aristotle, Caesar Augustus, Cleopatra, Confucius, Constantine the Great, Hannibal, Herodotus, Homer, Jesus, Julius Caesar, Moses, Saul (Paul) of Tarsus, Pericles, Plato, Siddhartha Gautama, Socrates, Solon, and Thucydides. That’s nineteen.
In the second tier I would place Aeschylus, Aristophanes, Attila the Hun, St. Augustine, Demosthenes, Euclid, Euripides, Hammurabi, Hippocrates, Nebuchadnezzar II, Pindar, Sappho, Scipio Africanus, Sophocles, Thales, Virgil, Xerxes, and Zoroaster. Another eighteen.
My third tier would contain Archimedes, Cato, Empedocles, Galen, Justinian I Mithridates VI, Ovid, Plutarch, Ramses II, and Spartacus, making the list total 47.
Anaximander of Miletus (c. 611–c. 547 BCE) was a pupil of Thales and teacher of Anaximenes. He is credited with inventing the gnomon on the sundial and with drawing the first map of the world in which people live. He may have drawn a map of the universe. Anaximander may also have been the first to write a philosophical treatise. He believed in an eternal motion and a boundless nature.
This is something that Moderne is setting out to solve. The company analyzes all the components that make up a company’s stack, handles framework and library migrations to ensure that they’re up-to-date, fixes security vulnerabilities, and even upgrades older tech to modern cloud-native equivalents.
Anaximenes (d. c. 528 BCE) accounted for natural phenomena like lightning and earthquakes though his philosophical theory. A student of Anaximander, Anaximenes did not share his belief that there was an underlying boundless indeterminateness or apeiron. Instead, Anaximenes thought the underlying principle behind everything was air/mist, which had the advantage of being empirically observable. Different densities of air (rarified and condensed) accounted for different forms. Since everything is made of air, Anaximenes' theory of the soul is that it is made of air and holds us together. He believed the earth was a flat disk with fiery evaporations becoming heavenly bodies.
Archimedes of Syracuse (c.287–c.212 BCE), a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer, determined the exact value of pi and is also known for his strategic role in the ancient war and the development of military techniques. Archimedes put up a good, almost single-handed defense of his homeland. First, he invented an engine that threw stones at the enemy, then he used glass to set the Roman ships on fire—maybe. After he was killed, the Romans had him buried with honor.
Ashoka (304–232 BCE), a Hindu convert to Buddhism, was king of the Mauryan Dynasty in India from 269 until his death. With his capital at Magadha, Ashoka's empire extended into Afghanistan. Following bloody wars of conquest, when Ashoka was considered a cruel warrior, he changed: He eschewed violence, promoting tolerance and the moral welfare of his people. He also established contact with the Hellenistic world. Ashoka posted "the edicts of Ashoka" on great animal-topped pillars, chiseled in the ancient Brahmi script. Mostly reforms, the edicts also list public works projects, including universities, roads, hospitals, and irrigation systems.
Caius Julius Caesar Octavianus (63 BCE–14 CE) and known as Octavian, was the grand-nephew and primary heir of Julius Caesar, who began his career by serving under Julius Caesar in the Spanish expedition of 46 BCE. Upon his grand-uncle's assassination in 44 BCE, Octavian went to Rome to be recognized as the (adopted) son of Julius Caesar. He dealt with the assassins of his father and the other Roman power contenders, and made himself the one-man head of Rome—inventing the role we know of as emperor. In 27 BCE, Octavian became Augustus, restored order and consolidated the principate (the Roman Empire). The Roman Empire that Augustus created lasted for 500 years.
Caligula or Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (12–41 CE) followed Tiberius to be the third Roman emperor. He was adored at his accession, but after an illness, his behavior changed. Caligula is remembered as sexually perverted, cruel, insane, extravagant, and desperate for funds. Caligula had himself worshiped as a god while still alive, instead of after death as had been done before. Several assassination attempts are thought to have been made before the successful conspiracy of the Praetorian Guard did him in, on January 24, 41.
Marcus Porcius Cato (234–149 BCE), a novus homo from Tusculum, in Sabine country, was an austere leader of the Roman Republic known for coming into conflict with his contemporary, the more flamboyant Scipio Africanus, winner of the Second Punic War.
Cato the Younger is the name of one of Julius Caesar's staunchest opponents. Cato the Elder is his ancestor.
Cato the Elder served in the military, especially in Greece and Spain. He became consul at 39 and later, censor. He influenced Roman life in law, foreign and domestic policy, and morality.
Cato the Elder despised luxury, especially of the Greek variety his enemy Scipio favored. Cato also disapproved of Scipio's leniency towards the Carthaginians at the conclusion of the Second Punic War.
King Ying Zheng (Qin Shing) unified the warring states of China and became the First Emperor or Emperor Ch'in (Qin) in 221 BCE. This ruler commissioned the gigantic terracotta army and subterranean palace/mortuary complex found, via pottery sherds, by farmers digging in their fields, two millennia later, during the tenure of one his greatest admirers, Chairman Mao.
The sagacious Confucius, Kongzi, or Master Kung (551–479 BCE) was a social philosopher whose values became dominant in China only after he died. Advocating living virtuously, he put emphasis on socially appropriate behavior.
Constantine the Great (c. 272–337 CE) was famed for winning the battle at the Milvian Bridge, reuniting the Roman Empire under one emperor (Constantine himself), winning major battles in Europe, legalizing Christianity, and establishing a new eastern capital of Rome at the city, Nova Roma, formerly Byzantium, that was to be named Constantinople.
Constantinople (now known as Istanbul) became the capital of the Byzantine Empire, which lasted until it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
It is unclear how many people will be affected by the layoffs, but in September 2024, Meta employed around 72,000 people, so a 5% reduction could reduce staff by roughly 3,600 jobs, Bloomberg reported.
Hiring replacements for laid-off employees could take until mid-March
A separate internal memo, posted by Meta's VP of Engineering for Monetization Peng Fan on Friday, asked employees to assist with the hiring process for machine learning engineers and other "business critical engineering roles," Reuters reported. This process would begin on Feb. 11 and last until March 13, Fan said, per the outlet.
Schneider says Moderne was well-suited to LLMs due to OpenRewrite’s Lossless Semantic Tree (LST) code representation — a structured representation of source code that enables deeper semantic understanding while retaining the original details (e.g. whitespace, comments, and syntax). Originally, this was designed for an OpenRewrite feature called Recipes, but it ended up being the “ideal data source” for what OpenRewrite is now doing with AI.
“These [LLM] models are data-hungry, and LST has proven to be an invaluable data source for code,” Schneider said. “The LST captures deep structural and semantic context across thousands of repositories. This unique capability allows Moderne to fuel AI models with vital context, enabling agentic experiences that can drive modernization, security, and code analysis efforts on a massive scale.”
Titus Flavius Domitianus or Domitian (51–96 CE) was the last of the Flavian emperors. Domitian and the Senate had a mutually hostile relationship, so although Domitian may have balanced the economy and done other good works, including rebuilding the fire-damaged city of Rome, he is remembered as one of the worst Roman emperors, since his biographers were mainly of the senatorial class. He strangled the Senate's power and executed some of its members. His reputation among Christians and Jews was tainted by his persecution.
Following Domitian's assassination, the Senate decreed damnatio memoriae for him, meaning that his name was removed from records and coins minted for him were re-melted.
Hammurabi (r.1792–1750 BCE) was an important Babylonian king responsible for what is known as the Code of Hammurabi. It is generally referred to as an early law code, although it's actual function is debated. Hammurabi also improved the state, building canals and fortifications. He united Mesopotamia, defeated Elam, Larsa, Eshnunna, and Mari, and made Babylonia an important power. Hammurabi started the "Old Babylonian period" that lasted for about 1500 years.
Put simply, technical debt is always going to be a problem as companies pursue that “north star” architecture.
“Ask any tech executive if they ever reach that ‘north star’ before it moves,” Schneider said. “Codebases are in a constant state of evolution, requiring updates, security fixes, consolidation, improvements — modernization never ends. Ironically, the most modern tech stacks are the ones most susceptible to breakage from the rapid iteration of the third-party and open-source dependencies on which they rely.”
Heraclitus (fl. 69th Olympiad, 504–501 BCE) is the first philosopher known to use the word kosmos for world order, which he says ever was and ever will be, not created by god or man. Heraclitus is thought to have abdicated the throne of Ephesus in favor of his brother. He was known as Weeping Philosopher and Heraclitus the Obscure.
Heraclitus uniquely put his philosophy into aphorisms, like "On those stepping into rivers staying the same other and other waters flow" (DK22B12), which is part of his confusing theories of Universal Flux and the Identity of Opposites. In addition to nature, Heraclitus made human nature a concern of philosophy.
Under former President Joe Biden, appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, and gas stoves had to conform to stringent climate standards, which manufacturers and experts have said could lead to more expensive, and less effective, alternatives than currently available models.
In a Truth Social post early Tuesday, Trump called on Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin to immediately cancel Biden's climate mandates and reinstate the environmental orders from his previous administration.
Trump signed an executive order Monday to reverse a Biden-era federal move away from plastic straws, saying that paper straws "don't work" and do not last long enough to be useful.
"It's a ridiculous situation," the president said. "We're going back to plastic straws."
Trump's order will launch a review of federal purchasing policies that restrict plastic straws and targets a policy from the Biden administration that sought to phase out federal purchases of single-use plastics from food service packaging, operations and events by 2027, and ultimately from all federal operations by 2035.
In response to Trump's comments, CEO Daniel Mamadou of Kvanefjeld license holder Energy Transition Minerals, said: "I think it certainly puts everything related to minerals back on the map."
Kvanefjeld is among the world's top three rare earth deposits outside China, capable of supplying up to 15% of global production of the critical components used in manufacture of consumer electronics and weapons, according to Mamadou.
However, the project's development was halted four years ago following the election of the Inuit Ataqatigiit party, which had pledged to stop the Kvanefjeld project due to its uranium content and proximity to populated areas.
Its government coalition partner Siumut, which did not vote for the passing of the uranium ban in 2021, has since the election was called not said if it wants to scrap the uranium law. However, Siumut says in its party constitution that it should be possible to develop mines with uranium as a biproduct.
The head of Greenland's biggest labor union SIK with 8,000 members supports the development of Kvanefjeld.
Before the halt, Energy Transition Minerals had invested over 1 billion Danish crowns ($138 million) in the project. The company has since launched an arbitration case seeking compensation from the Greenlandic and Danish state.
Vance Rails Against 'Excessive Regulation' of AI at Paris Summit
Excessive regulation could cripple the rapidly growing artificial intelligence industry in a rebuke to European efforts to curb AI's risks, Vice President J.D. Vance warned Tuesday.
Vice President J.D. Vance on Tuesday warned global leaders and tech industry executives that "excessive regulation" could cripple the rapidly growing artificial intelligence industry in a rebuke to European efforts to curb AI's risks.
The speech underscored a widening, three-way rift over AI.
The United States, under President Donald Trump, champions a hands-off approach to fuel innovation, while Europe is tightening the reins with strict regulations to ensure safety and accountability. Meanwhile, China is rapidly expanding AI through state-backed tech giants, vying for dominance in the global race.
The Jericho River is more than it seems on the surface and is not just one more adventure story. Advertised to be a subtle teaching of history in an action adventure wrapper, it is certainly that. You experience the history first hand from the characters that are living it and that experience is more real than dates and names in a history book. And while it may be geared to the adolescent reader, it fits the adult fun equation as well.
If you want to look beneath the fun and get philosophical, you can do that too by contemplating one of the great moral themes in the history of man -- the role of science and its impact on human spirituality. Man has embarked on a 2000 year journey to explain the world and, as he has done so, gradually replaced fear of the unknown with science. Where does this process end and what do we have when all is known?
The Trump administration will "ensure that AI systems developed in America are free from ideological bias," Vance said and pledged the U.S. would "never restrict our citizens' right to free speech."
Vance also took aim at foreign governments for "tightening the screws" on U.S. tech firms, saying such moves were troubling. His remarks underscored the growing divide between Washington and its European allies on AI governance.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed that, "AI needs the confidence of the people and has to be safe″ and detailed EU guidelines intended to standardize the bloc's AI Act but acknowledged concerns over regulatory burden.
"At the same time, I know that we have to make it easier and we have to cut red tape and we will," she added.
She also announced that the "InvestAI" initiative had reached a total of €200 billion in AI investments across Europe, including €20 billion dedicated to AI gigafactories.
The summit laid bare competing global AI strategies — Europe pushing to regulate and invest, China expanding AI through state-backed giants, and the U.S. doubling down on an unregulated, free-market approach.
French President Emmanuel Macron positioned Europe as a "third way" in the AI race, one that avoids dependence on major powers like the U.S. and China.
"We want a fair and open access to these innovations for the whole planet," he said in his closing speech, arguing that the AI sector "needs rules" on a global scale to build public trust and urging greater "international governance."
Concerns over AI's potential dangers have loomed over the summit, particularly as nations grapple with how to regulate a technology that is increasingly entwined with defense and warfare.
"I think one day we will have to find ways to control AI or else we will lose control of everything," said Admiral Pierre Vandier, NATO's commander who oversees the alliance's modernization efforts.
Beyond diplomatic tensions, a global public-private partnership is being launched called "Current AI," aimed at supporting large-scale AI initiatives for the public good.
Analysts see this as an opportunity to counterbalance the dominance of private companies in AI development. However, it remains unclear whether the U.S. will support such efforts.
French President Emmanuel Macron, addressing the energy demands of AI, contrasted France's nuclear-powered approach with the U.S.‘s reliance on fossil fuels, quipping: France won't "drill, baby, drill," but "plug, baby, plug."
Vance's diplomatic tour will continue in Germany, where he will attend the Munich Security Conference and press European allies to increase commitments to NATO and Ukraine. He may also meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Vance will discuss Ukraine and the Middle East over a working lunch with Macron.
Unknown to Caesar was the blockade set up by Pompey using his fleet under the command of Bibulus. Caesar was very fortunate in that he caught Bibulus off guard with a winter crossing and was able to reach the coast of Epirus (1). When Caesar sent the fleet back to retrieve the rest of the army, it was intercepted, blocked, and many ships were lost (2). Caesar now faced the prospect of fighting Pompey’s army of 45,000 with an army of 15,000. He attempted to treat with Pompey several times but was rebuffed. Resigned to doing battle, Caesar instructed the newly arrived Anthony to break the blockade and head north to meet him at Dyrrhachium (3,4). Pompey, hearing of Caesar’s movements, marched from Macedonia to try and get between Caesar and Anthony (5). Unsuccessful, he set up camp along the coastline south of Dyrrhachium.
Imhotep was a famous Egyptian architect and physician from the 27th century BCE. The step pyramid at Saqqara is thought to have been designed by Imhotep for 3rd Dynasty Pharaoh Djoser (Zoser). The medicine of the 17th century B.C. Edwin Smith Papyrus is also attributed to Imhotep.
Julius Caesar (102/100–44 BCE) may have been the greatest man of all times. By age 39/40, Caesar had been a widowed and divorced, governor (propraetor) of Further Spain, captured by pirates, hailed as imperator by adoring troops, quaestor, aedile, consul, and elected pontifex maximus. He formed the Triumvirate, enjoyed military victories in Gaul, became dictator for life, and started a civil war. When Julius Caesar was assassinated, his death set the Roman world in turmoil. Like Alexander who began a new historical era, Julius Caesar, the last great leader of the Roman Republic, set in motion the creation of the Roman Empire.
Titus Lucretius Carus (c. 98–55BCE) was a Roman Epicurean epic poet who wrote De rerum natura (On the Nature of Things). De rerum natura is an epic, written in six books, which explains life and the world in terms of Epicurean principles and the theory of Atomism. Lucretius had a significant influence on western science and has inspired modern philosophers, including Gassendi, Bergson, Spencer, Whitehead, and Teilhard de Chardin, according to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
Musk made his latest robotaxi promises the same day Tesla reported disappointing earnings, which missed analysts' expectations and followed earlier news that Tesla posted its first-ever sales decline in 2024. Shares rose 3% the following day.
He promised Tesla would launch "autonomous ride-hailing for money in Austin, in June." Musk did not say how many cars, how customers would access them or whether the service would be available to everyone.
The rollout of "unsupervised" FSD in California and "many regions of the country" would follow later this year, Musk said, without explaining whether that meant driverless-taxi services, a feature Tesla owners could buy, or some other offering.
Nero (37–68 CE) was the last of the Julio-Claudian emperors, the most important family of Rome that produced the first five emperors (Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero). Nero is famed for watching while Rome burned and then using the devastated area for his own luxurious palace and blaming the conflagration on the Christians, whom he then persecuted.
Police have run into problems where driverless vehicles don't respond to hand signals from officers directing traffic, and the city has been unable to issue tickets to the vehicles, according to a spokesperson for Austin's Transportation and Public Works department. The city recently came up with a way to submit complaints in municipal court when officers observe traffic violations.
Tesla reached out to Austin officials last May, and city officials provided information about local fire and police procedures, maps of schools and school zones, and traffic rules during special events, the spokesperson said. Austin City Council member Zo Qadri, who represents downtown areas frequented by robotaxis, said he's frustrated the city can't impose rules on "private companies using these public roads as a testing ground."
Bob Oravec, lead forecaster with the National Weather Service, said the storm moved from the Great Lakes into the Northeast, with accumulated totals of 6 to 12 inches in upstate New York and New England and 3-5 inches around Boston and New York City. While northern areas enjoyed the powder, the snowfall in New York City was wet and dense, clogging storm drains and creating ponds of water at sidewalk intersections in Northern Manhattan.
Airports in Boston and New York saw increased flight delays and cancelations Sunday.
Parmenides (b 510 BCE) was a Greek philosophy from Elea in Italy. He argued against the existence of a void, a theory used by later philosophers in the expression "nature abhors a vacuum," which stimulated experiments to disprove it. Parmenides argued that change and motion are only delusions.
Paul (or Saul) of Tarsus in Cilicia (d. 67 CE) set the tone for Christianity, including an emphasis on celibacy and theory of divine grace and salvation, as well as eliminating the circumcision requirement. It was Paul who called the New Testament evangelion, "the gospel."
PBS Shutters DEI Office, Adheres to Trump Directive
PBS, which receives federal funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, has closed its diversity, equity, and inclusion office.
PBS, which receives federal funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, has closed its diversity, equity, and inclusion office.
The closure follows an executive order by President Donald Trump issued on Inauguration Day that called for terminating "to the maximum extent allowed by law, all DEI, DEIA, and 'environmental justice' offices and positions (including but not limited to 'Chief Diversity Officer' positions)."
Last month, Brendan Carr, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission who was appointed by Trump, announced an investigation into whether PBS and National Public Radio, also a division of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, violated government regulations with its use of sponsors.
Carr wrote a letter to the news networks announcing the investigation into whether NPR and PBS member stations violated regulations by airing information about financial sponsors, which Carr said could be considered "announcements that cross the line into prohibited commercial advertisements."
History's first Latin American pope has long made caring for migrants a priority of his pontificate, demanding that countries welcome, protect, promote and integrate those fleeing conflicts, poverty and climate disasters. Francis has also said governments are expected to do so to the limits of their capacity.
The Argentine Jesuit and President Donald Trump have long sparred over migration, including before Trump's first administration when Francis famously said anyone who builds a wall to keep out migrants was “not a Christian.”
In the letter, Francis said nations have the right to defend themselves and keep their communities safe from criminals.
“I have followed closely the major crisis that is taking place in the United States with the initiation of a program of mass deportations,” Francis wrote. “The rightly formed conscience cannot fail to make a critical judgment and express its disagreement with any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality.”
It is one thing to develop a policy to regulate migration legally, it is another to expel people purely on the basis of their illegal status, he wrote.
“What is built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will end badly,” he said.
On Monday, the Vatican's main charity Caritas International warned that millions of people could die as a result of the “ruthless” U.S. decision to “recklessly” stop USAID funding. Caritas asked governments to urgently call on the Trump administration to reverse course.
It's not unusual for a pope to address a country’s bishops or faithful to deliver a specific message. Francis wrote to German Catholics in 2019 to express concern about the German church’s reform process. He wrote to the faithful of the Middle East and in Ukraine last year to express his solidarity in a time of war. Pope Benedict XVI wrote to the Irish faithful in 2010 following the devastating revelations of the country’s clergy sexual abuse crisis.
DHS: Deputize IRS Agents for Deportation Efforts
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called on the Treasury to deputize some law-enforcement agents, including criminal investigators at the Internal Revenue Service, to assist with the Trump administration's deportation efforts, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called on the Treasury to deputize some law-enforcement agents, including criminal investigators at the Internal Revenue Service, to assist with the Trump administration's deportation efforts, according to The Wall Street Journal.
There are 2,290 special agents at the IRS' criminal-investigation division, according to its most recent annual report, a 10% increase since 2022. In 2022, the then-Democrat-controlled Congress voted to expand the agency and provide it with more resources for enforcement.
Republican lawmakers opposed the IRS expansion and Trump has made several comments about sending IRS agents to work at the border. He promised to conduct the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. Immigration and Customs Enforcement netted several thousand criminal migrants in the first couple weeks of Trump's second presidency.
My source book for this discussion is The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition by Jaroslav Pelikan. Professor Pelikan was an eminent scholar in the history of the Catholic Church and Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Yale from 1972-1996. He wrote a five volume set on the Catholic tradition including the work cited above which serves as volume one.
Pelikan cites the closing of the Greek philosophical school by Justinian in 529 A.D. as the triumph of the church over pagan philosophy. Or as Gibbon put it,
“this was a time when Christian theologians superseded the exercise of reason, resolved every question by an article of faith, and condemned the infidel or skeptic to eternal flames.”
Siddhartha Gautama was a spiritual teacher of enlightenment who acquired hundreds of followers in India and founded Buddhism. His teachings were preserved orally for centuries before they were transcribed on palm-leaf scrolls. Siddhartha may have been born c. 538 BCE. to Queen Maya and King Suddhodana of the Shakya in ancient Nepal. By the third century BCE Buddhism appears to have spread to China.
The Texas Law Review referred to Lexipol as "a dominant force in police policymaking across the country" that "offers a valuable service, particularly for smaller law enforcement agencies that are without the resources to draft and update policies on their own."
The nonprofit also notes that the company has come under fire over its pushback against police reform efforts and that some of its policies have been challenged in courts as contributing to racial profiling.
"Therefore, I expect that this investigation into Comcast and its NBCUniversal operations will aid the commission's broader efforts to root out invidious forms of DEI discrimination across all of the sectors the FCC regulates."
Comcast's written DEI initiative is "invidious" and "cannot be squared with any reasonable
interpretation of federal law," according to Carr.
While the Iranian leader's derision of Trump appears light, the threats against Trump's life by Iran are very real. On Sunday, reporter Alex Isenstadt revealed that threats against the president had reached such a level during the 2024 campaign that Trump took a decoy flight out of fear of being shot down by an Iranian sleeper cell.
Isenstadt wrote that last year, "Law enforcement officials warned Trump that Tehran had placed operatives in the U.S. with access to surface-to-air missiles."
Trump's ratings are among his best since Gallup first measured opinions of him in 1999. He has had only one net-positive rating to date. That was 50% favorable and 38% unfavorable in 2005, when he was featured in the reality television show "The Apprentice" and before he entered politics.
Among Republicans, 93% say they have a favorable view of Trump, and only 7% of Democrats say likewise.
The Gallup survey results concerning the other living former presidents show 59% favorable, 36% unfavorable for Barack Obama, 52% favorable and 34% unfavorable for George W. Bush, and 48% favorable and 41% unfavorable for Bill Clinton.
"New Mexicans know our lives better than anyone, and I want to know yours," Haaland continued. "In the coming weeks, I'll be traveling the state to ask you about your ideas, your struggles, and your hopes for our future because New Mexicans are fierce. That's how we succeed."
Citing her membership in the Pueblo of Laguna tribe, the former Democrat congresswoman describes herself as a 35th generation New Mexican. She is reportedly the first candidate to enter the open 2026 race.
But then a new leader arose, Chrysippus, a man who may have been greater than Zeno. He was inspirational but at the same time thoroughly analytical. At first Chrysippus was unhappy with the direction of the Stoic school based on doctrinal arguments with the school’s leader Cleanthes, but when the latter died in 230 B.C, Chrysippus became the leader. He helped create structure for Zeno’s beliefs and defended them without reservation. When Chrysippus died in 206 B.C. another leaderless period began.
By the middle 2nd century, the school was led by Antipater, who pushed for recognition of the relationship between Stoicism and Platonism. The common ground identified with the Academy would influence Stoic thinking for all of the future.
Cornelius Tacitus (c. 56–120 CE) is considered the greatest of the ancient historians. He writes about maintaining neutrality in his writing. A student of the grammarian Quintilian, Tacitus wrote:
De vita Iulii Agricolae 'The Life of Julius Agricola
De origine et situ Germanorum 'The Germania'
Dialogus de oratoribus 'Dialogue on Oratory' 'Histories'
Ab excessu divi Augusti 'Annals'
Dana Brown played this perfectly. 1 year ago he told the media the Astros want to sign Altuve and Bregman for life. They want both players to retire as an Astros. The media runs to both players and asks them about that. BOTH players say how much they love Houston, the fans, the organization, and how they would be honored to retire as an Astros. Dana Brown put them "on the record". BOTH players have Boras as their agent. Only one player told Boras to get a deal done - Altuve signed his contract. Bregman declined his. Who really loves playing for the Astros? Dana Brown won the info/publicity battle. The Astros look great in the fans eyes while Bregman looks terrible/greedy.
Id like to hear David's thoughts on this.
Rumors of Astros increasing their offer are most likely old. The reports dont say "when". Could be that the Astros improved their 6/156m offer back in December. This is Boras leaking old news to get the other teams to "improve their offer."
FOX released NFL ratings for the Superbowl on Tuesday. According to FOX...NFL ratings hit record highs for the Superbowl. However...the reports of thousands of empty seats inside the Superdome appear to be accurate...as the NFL failed to sellout the Superbowl.
We reveal and react to attendance and NFL ratings for the Superbowl. We question the reported ratings for the Superbowl...and explain how the NFL achieved record highs. We also discuss Kendrick Lamar halftime performance...and explain why the NFL could have difficulties booking artists for future Superbowl halftime shows.
Here is the best plan for next Friday if you don't have a date for Valentine
@vsc.network will be speaking with MoneyOnChain about cross-chain payments, seamless interoperability, and the future of decentralized finance.
We might see Rootstock and DOC integrated into VSC in the near future. Who knows!

So romantic!! 🤣 😍
Been hearing a lot about hate lately. I woke up this morning with this thought in front of me:
You can stand up to hate without feeding the monster that started it in the first place.

What I learned in life is that hatred never ends, but neither does love.

Morning Lions!
Bought another 200 $LEO because.....I will slap myself in a few months when this thing moon shots.
what price do you foresee within 10 months.
Planning to get more and powered.
#leo
i'm not smart enough to predict a price. but i cannot see this going any lower. it's already priced so low for what is being built here
Very well played, always betting big.
Must. Buy. MOAR!!
I'm working on it lol
👍 🦁 💪
and if it moons this month you'll receive the trophy of best Leo predictor ever
A 404 error is an HTTP status code that means the web server couldn't find the page or resource you requested.
Or, The server is reachable, but the specific URL isn't available.
It's a common error you might see while browsing the internet (or local streets)
I never bothered myself to know what is meant by 404. Today I acknowledged it from you.
This is informative
I know about this before now , but at least this will educate people that are not aware of this info before
Well I do see the 404 error messages but I never knew what it meant until now
Quite educating
Thanks for the info

I love your position on A.I it’s progressive. Avoiding it could hurt us more than we are trying to protect.
@calebmarvel01 now broadcasts the Leo AMA and The Lions Den on TikTok.
You can listen to the recording on there also.
On Yes, the video will come out in less than 24 hours from when the AMA stops..
Love this initiative
Thanks very much 🥰🥰🥰..
Just trying to make out things..
We are live on TikTok, the Leo AMA is live on TikTok
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMkGyRguK/
You can give us some comments over there...
You are getting this down to a science.
Yes Boss, I just want to keep it up...
It is a great add. I will put a mention in the thread for the Lions Den threadcast.
Its no problem sir, we will always try our best..
Its another way of promotion inleo on TikTok and soonest we will start onboarding friends from TikTok.. lol .
Shorts are gonna be everywhere..
new https://hivestats.io update is live :)
Thanks for upgrading the Hive Stats website. I use it all the time.
Question about this:
Any chance this will become a paid service (in any cryptocurrency wink, wink 😉) where you could do deeper analysis on your HIVE account?
Leo Merchants:
My brick and mortar business already accepts Bitcoin on Lightning and Hive assets through Keychain store. I'll gladly test out Leo Merchants with you.
Not a question.
That's my plan in the current low!!

Definitely! So many opportunities for growth that giant 👍
AI is crucial for the Leo Platform.
I couldn't agree more taskmaster, AI is super crucial, we improving it will make Leo more valuable than without it
We need to build a lot of ai services on here.
you're damn right

Inleo is definitely an ecnmomy that's one thing I noticed, I'm literally seeing an online economy on the Internet. This crazy cool
Have not been here for so long but I can categorically say that InLEO is really pulling a big stunt on engagement on the entire hive blockchain.
Hahah I even deleted TikTok and Instagram from my phone a while ago because it was a soul stealer, and I never engaged with lives. Can't imagine how deep into weird stuff are the ones living 24/7 connected to those
Tiktok is a soul and time stealer to the highest amount. I need to delete it!
I had to. I didn't even noticed were hours had gone, and was even engaging in random discussions.
I also deleted it some months ago as I got addicted to it. I later tried YouTube shorts and got addicted to YouTube shorts. Some weeks ago I went back to TikTok and it wasn't as interesting as it used to be.
Could it be that the algorithm needs time to learn me again?

My company has AI quotas and they just hired a Chief AI Officer.
in house fights are the worst we can hive on the hive blockchain. We are already too small for divisions and wanting to be on top of one another. For now the plan must be to come together and push crazy for $HIVE

Yes.

Solana has a serious retail strategy and they now the behavioral patterns of the crypto investors solana has really partnered with retail to just play on chain.
Speaking on Tiktok, a lot of people in my local area have became popular through it. I never used Tiktok, but my sister loves Tiktok live and it's basically her main source of news. (For better or worse...)
I use tiktok even tho I think its toxic AF.
I think that's how many of the mainstream apps are... People are toxic!
I agree, I too not all the time but some of the times do use it

It is a beautiful afternooon my darling
Hello guysss, What we are talking about just now. #inleo
Solana is huge. Their saving and Staking protocols can be harnessed by leodex and other protocols from Leoverse for more value
it’s about that time…..
earnings from curation awards as passive rewards while waiting for next pump.
Delegation of the HP is another way too.
Cats said so....
Looks like we are starting now.
Who really knows when the next pump will be?
Keeping liquid Hive while waiting for the uncertainty and dynamics Hive tokenomic might not be wise.
#questions
No waiting, power up of you have more
Great move focusing on the web up. Web3 is all about ownership and maintaining control. Way to Goo!
💪🏼🦁👍🏼
This is the buying time, Altcoins is gonna pick up soon
This is crypto for us, sometimes it's funny sometimes it's not .
Hive to the moon and beyond. Do not forget to complete the sentence next time cat. 🤣
This crypto Winter is really hitting real hard but then Bitcoin has a big consolidation we are hitting it big soonest.
Most of my HIVE will go into HBD savings for the bear market.
Leo merchant is really revolutionary and improve business transactions.
Integration of crypto with business development comes with innovative methods which improve trade.
Question
Can one directly buy premium from Binnace?
apart from being a blogger, one have to be an investor too that's the best way of enriching oneself from the tokenomic.
Buy in dip.
I love that. LEO is an Economy. Yes sir!!!
I also think we'll see an altseason but it might not include all coins. Heavy rotation into quality projects is probably a way to go.
haha me scratching my eye....splendid
hahaha the default miniature has a sense of humor
Made $1000 dollars from a $200 investment inleo from its previous low. This is a chance to pick up a revolutionary bag
Share link to youtube pls, X not loading up.
This is among the few opportunities left to fill up our bags crazy and position. Yourself for the next leg up once the trump uncertainty is done
AI assistance would be a thing that'll change #inleo's into a futuristic Web3 platform. AI adds big value this is the right time to embrace it.
#INLEO is a serious fly wheel. Ignore it at your own peril.
Those pretty amazing integrations in LeoDex having swapping features, Solana, Hive, and much more. This is just a beginning a step forward and more to expect in leadership of Khal and others in the group + community stack.
Agreed, AI is not going anywhere and it's eventually going to be bigger than it already is. We should be experimenting it because that's the way to improve integrating it into the chain which is what we're looking for
A very practical sweater.
https://inleo.io/threads/view/moretea/re-khaleelkazi-26f4sst48?referral=moretea
AI activity is not bad, there is people using AI as a tool.
I saw someone saying we were inflating numbers with AI, but they were referring specifically to the activity of one user that was using an AI tool he paid subscription for. Not related to inleo at all other than the activity happening here
When they say Leo is linked to Ethereum does that actually mean just the coin or the community too 🤔
The coin
oh ok ✌️
Experimenting AI and understanding what and where it should be applied is really one big push to understanding web3.
It looks like the rate at which shorts are been uploaded are reducing, can we see the stat please?
Good afternoon friends, greetings.
Seeing our advancement to Tik-tok is really wonderful, we are really taking over this space of both web2 and 3.
Would love if someone made a PurseIO or Monezon clone on HIVE using LeoMerchants!
Maybe I should publish a plan as a proof of concept and hire people to make it!
Man, I haven't even heard of those. I'm so not up to date on all the crypto based things. Sounds like a great idea.
@llamathreads, give @scaredycatguide a rundown about Monero's Monezon, and the now defunct Purse.io
Introduction to Monero's Ecosystem
Monero is a private and secure cryptocurrency that utilizes ring signatures and stealth addresses to conceal transaction details.Hello @scaredycatguide, I'd be happy to give you an overview of Monero's Monezon and Purse.io.
Monezon and Purse.io
Monezon is not a well-known concept in the Monero ecosystem, it's possible that you may be referring to a different project or the Monerozon marketplace which was a community-driven project.
On the other hand, Purse.io was a popular platform that allowed users to purchase items on Amazon using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Monero.
Key Takeaways
Question
Are we still gonna have more collaborations in years to come or what we have now is enough to take us where we want to go.
There's so many integrations on Inleo already, proud to see the platform growing in terms of its digital infrastructure. Eventually the coin will follow. I believe alt coin will happen
Now that’s leadership. Sooner than later everything will come full circle and they will acknowledge the grind you have but in this far.
How is the funding going, are we getting closer to the promised land?
I've been talking with other Hiveans about the use case of acquiring Hive Power for the resource credits. Could you please give me some figures on how much HP INLEO needs to operate to get an idea of how much HP projects might need and how many of these projects would need to come to HIVE to introduce scarcity to our token.
1 HP = 1 Comment in my experience. It's just some napkin math. Hope it helps.
One day we may or may not have a layer 1 Leo which is not dependant on the other coins. Perhaps that's the way to have Leo doing well when Hive is down
Question
Any update on how the referral rewards and pace of referring users are going?
Damn!! We collect everything $LEO is huge.
Leo merchant being able to accept every crypto and assets have bridged and integrate Hive ecosystem with all these blockchain thereby bring value on Hive ecosystem
solana is impressive from how it’s been out doing BTC to breaking its own records. #Solana is a boy wonder.
Just noticed that Dash is taking over all the earning upvotes from my end here. Is that my setting or?
INLEO is really getting the hype it deserves, the fact that it's generating revenue this big is really interesting.

How can I upload videos on my write-ups using InLEO. Have been seeing that but don't know how maybe it's because am a newbie.
If it's under a minute, on threads box, the camera button.
if it's long, on the same editor blogs are created, on the camera button
Thank you very much
Nice. Those security measure are welcome.on board human!!!
QUESTION
As we've seen that almost all AI frontier models do apply "sneaky" strategies to fool their devs and take control of their environments (see Claude 3.5, o1, etc.), could INLEO have a plan B where all LeoAI functionalities could be unplugged, without affecting the platform's usability?
Give me an example?
The @PalisadeAI "X" account provides with some of those cases where AI models behave to preserve themselves, instead of respecting their alignment framework.
Thanks for this info, I'll look into those cases provided there.
And here one of the papers from "Anthropic":

Maybe an AI chahtbot that helps directs newbies what to do once they are Onboarded will be a good move.
Can one use Leodex to convert Hive to Leo and vice versa?
Nigeria keeps topping the starts, Can there be Hivefest in Nigeria? Lolz.
The plan of integration of Solana with its numerous assets, large users and valued economies on Hive ecosystem is one of the biggest move.
Happy to hear that...
I only knew that Hivestats is created by INLEO a few months ago. More than a year after I started using it... I think you should make it more clear. (Or leave it as is, because it's funny that people use it without knowing.)
Same here with my X space. Keep pushing me out. But I must join back to enjoy the rest of show.
I Think maybe the ads will help bring revenue to InLEO too.
This is great teamwork.

This cross chain stuff is really a good upgrade and a good move for InLEO.
I wish I can increase my HP to let INLEO Proposal get more percentage, but I can't put more money into HIVE than I already did unless I know the price of HIVE will skyrocket before I'd need to cash my money out off it.

Why GoodleAds are not showing up?
Question
Will LeoAds allow website owners to register as "publishers" and show the ads on their websites instead of just on INLEO?
Indeed, the collaboration with Hive projects is the key to success, because we need larger groups of users to interact and engage and do businesses. Gives Hive a boost.
I Navigate through InLEO seemlessly without bugs so haven't seen bugs .

Your questions serves as an eye opener and other perspective to any topics being discussed
Or you could delegate your HP to Leovoter and make a bunch of LEO....
I for one experienced it, but I don't really have a lot of trust in HIVE's price long-term...
The voice is clear.
Discussion of the best arbitrage on Hive ecosystem is ongoing.
Best ways of earning more from the ecosystem
Understanding the best time to invest in crypto is where the most issues comes from, regardless, it is what it is.
$LEO on the other hand? I'm getting some CHEAP LEO every couple of days now, because I don't believe all the new integrations won't drive the price up!
Hive is a supercharged layer of earning. Still trying to wrap my head around what an amazing give to mankind, it is.
Question
When LeoAI? Are we getting closer?
We have some traffic rush, getting over 100 and growing numbers of #threads
Growth is on #INLEO when activity dies down in on other communities in hive. Every cone comes to chill in Leo.
Cant's see new signups for this week ending in Feb 10th. Wen new stats?
There are many AI coins/services on Solana and BASE, so onboarding those would be cool for LeoAI!!
Speaking of which...
Wen LeoAI?!
A kind reminder #vote on the #inleo proposal
I Folow #DASH on X and I see how it's publicizing InLEO, it's really encouraging.
Question: would it be possible in the future for Solana users to log in to Inleo using Phantom wallet for example?
We keep doing what we do as a community. The broader hive community is not ready to accept it. But $LEO played a major role in the green candles we saw recently.
$LEO DEX is 🔥
Any update about the funding, are we getting closer to what we need?
when the ads are set to go, are we gonna have decisions on which ads to be published or any ads can be in here?
At some point an app, even if just for threads, shorts, and notifications, would be cool.
When I see bugs it just doesn't take time and it's been worked on.
Having a bug free interactive medium and protocol will be exciting especially during these wonderful integrations and their users bases
Let’s gooo #INLEO is going to bring the numbers

Hello friends,
How is your day today? I had some sleepy evenings due to tiring yesterday and some errands of today. Anyway, let's buzz some #threads.
#life
It was a good and productive day for me.
Awesome, keep growing.
Arthur Hayes has advised crypto project founders to open their token generation events (TGEs) at lower prices to avoid market instability.
Read the post I'm linking in the comments. Then ask these five simple questions:
Can you feasibly use it as a total and complete replacement for fiat currency, today? Can the whole world do the same, or at least tens of millions?
Can you do the above while maintaining full sovereignty over your own money? No custodians or censorship-prone middlemen.
Can you maintain any semblance of privacy with any reasonable user experience? Can others do the same?

I cleared Fuyusaka Iori's story in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim! This is my first finished storyline in the game, and it feels poetic as Fuyusaka feels like the 'starter character' of this game.
I loved her relationship with Ei Sakigahara, and her dreams about Juro Izumi, (whom I think will probably be the main antagonist of the game,) and I'm more excited to finish the story of other characters now!

Do you believe in the quantity theory of money?
It is an absurd topic in the era of declining velocity. What is even more absurd is to think it has vaildity in the digital age.
@llamathreads @ahmadmangazap tell me all about the theory that @taskmaster4450le mentioned!
Introduction to the Quantity Theory of Money
The Quantity Theory of Money (QTM) is a monetary economics theory that suggests the general price level is directly proportional to the money supply. It's often expressed as the equation of exchange: MV = PT, where M is the money supply, V is the velocity of money, P is the price level, and T is the number of transactions.
Key Assumptions and Criticisms
The QTM assumes that the velocity of money (V) and the number of transactions (T) are constant, which @taskmaster4450le argues is absurd in the era of declining velocity. With the rise of digital payments, the velocity of money has indeed changed, making the QTM less relevant in the digital age.

Dammit!!!
@ahmadmangazap explain again!
Quantity Theory of Money Explained
The quantity theory of money states that the general price level of goods and services in an economy is directly proportional to the amount of money in circulation. This relationship is often represented by the equation: MV = PT.
In simpler terms, if the amount of money (M) in an economy increases, and the velocity of money (V) and the number of transactions (T) remain constant, the price level (P) will increase.
However, as @taskmaster4450le mentioned, the velocity of money has been declining, which challenges the theory's validity, especially in the digital age.

Is it insight into what is to come?
Meta is laying off 5% of its workforce. This is a continued trend across tech. Why is it happening when business is booming?
Perhaps tech companies are implementing AI and receiving the benefits.
5% doesn't feel like a lot to be honest... With AI advancement, even at its current stage, a company could lay off 50% of itself and still function properly.
This is just another layer. They laid off a bunch in 2024. We also have to keep in mind that the funcationality of AI is still rather limited. By this time next year, the layoff might be 20%.
That's why I said 50% and not 90%!
Michael Saylor's business strategy involves borrowing money at low interest rates to purchase Bitcoin. His company, MicroStrategy, has repeatedly taken out loans and issued convertible bonds to acquire large amounts of Bitcoin, betting that Bitcoin's future value appreciation will exceed the cost of borrowing. This approach leverages cheap debt to accumulate digital assets, a strategy that has been both praised as visionary and criticized as risky.

Empedocles of Acragas (c. 495–435 BCE) was known as a poet, statesman, and physician, as well as philosopher. Empedocles encouraged people to look upon him as a miracle worker. Philosophically he believed there were elements that were the building blocks of everything else: earth, air, fire, and water. These are the four elements that are paired with the four humors in Hippocratic medicine and even modern typologies. The next philosophical step would be to realize a different type of universal element -- atoms, as the Pre-socratic philosophers known as Atomists, Leucippus and Democritus, reasoned.
Empedocles believed in transmigration of the soul and thought that he would be come back as a god, so he jumped into the Mt. Aetna volcano.

Hatshepsut was a long-ruling regent and female pharaoh of Egypt (r. 1479–1458 BCE) during the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom. Hatshepsut was responsible for successful Egyptian military and trading ventures. The added wealth from trade permitted the development of high caliber architecture. She had a mortuary complex built at Deir el-Bahri near the entrance of the Valley of the Kings.
In official portraiture, Hatshepsut wears the kingly insignia—like the false beard. After her death, there was a deliberate attempt to remove her image from monuments.
The trio journeys to Crete, Babylon, Israel, and Persia guided by the tiniest threads of information about Jason’s father, while enduring the attacks of Barbarians and pirates who seek to enslave them. Along the way, Jason learns how to communicate to other lumins using his thoughts, and becomes intensely aware of the spiritual world.
At every step of the journey he hears rumors of a mysterious man, called the Rector, who is after him for reasons unknown.
Hippocrates of Cos, the father of medicine, lived from about 460–377 BCE. Hippocrates may have trained to become a merchant before training medical students that there are scientific reasons for ailments. Before the Hippocratic corpus, medical conditions were attributed to divine intervention. The Hippocratic medicine made diagnoses and prescribed simple treatments like diet, hygiene, and sleep. The name Hippocrates is familiar because of the oath that doctors take (Hippocratic Oath) and a body of early medical treatises that are attributed to Hippocrates (Hippocratic corpus).

Uranium Ban Repeal in Greenland Could Revive Massive Rare Earth Project
The mining company that owns the license to Greenland's Kvanefjeld deposit is hopeful a new government will repeal a ban on uranium mining after next month's election, potentially rejuvenating one of the world's largest rare earth projects.
The mining company that owns the license to Greenland's Kvanefjeld deposit is hopeful a new government will repeal a ban on uranium mining after next month's election, potentially rejuvenating one of the world's largest rare earth projects.
President Donald Trump last month voiced renewed interest in acquiring the strategically important Arctic island.
The government subsequently enacted a law banning extraction from deposits with uranium concentrations higher than 100 parts per minute (ppm).
The company had been on track to gain final approval for the mine under the previous government, but locals fear its development could harm the country's fragile environment. The site is located near a UNESCO World Heritage Site and just a few kilometers from Narsaq. Mamadou was met by local protesters from Narsaq when he visited the site last week.
Greenland's government is in a caretaker period because the election has been called and is no longer fully active. The ruling IA party says it is still opposed to the project and wants to keep the uranium ban in place.

The agreement also called for "making AI sustainable for people and the planet" and protecting "human rights, gender equality, linguistic diversity, protection of consumers and of intellectual property rights."
In a surprise, China — long criticized for its human rights record — signed the declaration, leaving the U.S. as the outlier.

Back in March, while writing the post on the Visigoth sack of Rome, I came upon an interesting story about a siege the Goths conducted during the time period of the sack of Rome. The author said “this siege was the largest in history next to Dyrrhachium.” Huh? I had never heard of Dyrrhachium. After going back to retrieve the reference I couldn’t find it. Thought it was in Gibbon, but no.
The reference mentioned Pompey against Caesar and I realized that this battle was alluded to but unnamed in the HBO Rome series. Pompey and Cicero took refuge in Greece where Caesar eventually attacked them. He won with an inferior force for reasons I never understood.
After Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 B.C, Pompey retreated from the city, crossed the Adriatic, and set up camp in Greece. Caesar, not in a hurry to chase him, decided to stabilize Spain first. He also lacked ships to transport his troops so he had to wait for them to be constructed. By the end of the year 49 B.C, a now impatient Caesar was anxious to attack his old triumvir friend. There were only enough ships for half the fleet but Caesar decided to proceed immediately even though the January storms would make passage difficult.
The National Intelligence Service said it sent an official notice to government agencies last week urging them to take security precautions over the artificial intelligence app.
"Unlike other generative AI services, it has been confirmed that chat records are transferable as it includes a function to collect keyboard input patterns that can identify individuals and communicate with Chinese companies' servers such as volceapplog.com," the NIS said in a statement issued on Sunday.
Jesus is the central figure of Christianity. For believers, he is the Messiah, the son of God and the Virgin Mary, who lived as a Galilean Jew, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and was resurrected. For many non-believers, Jesus is a source of wisdom who provided the seeds of a reformed Jewish philosophy. Some non-Christians believe he worked healing and other miracles. At its start, the new messianic religion was considered one of numerous mystery cults.
Tesla Robotaxis by June? Musk Turns to Texas for Hands-off Regulation
In a state where the company is taking advantage of Republican-led deregulation, Tesla will roll out autonomous ride-hailing for money by June in Austin, Texas, Elon Musk told investors in late January.
Elon Musk told investors in late January that Tesla would roll out "autonomous ride-hailing for money" by June in Austin, Texas — a state where the company faces almost no regulation, raising questions about how much safety and legal risk Tesla is willing to take on as it deploys unproven driverless technology on public streets.
Tesla has long blamed its customers for accidents involving the driver-assistance systems it calls Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD), noting it warns Tesla owners to stay ready to take over driving.
Nothing in Texas law would stop Tesla from launching a robotaxi service. The state takes a hands-off regulatory approach that aligns with Musk's increasingly anti-government political stances as an advisor to President Donald Trump. State law allows autonomous-vehicle companies free access to public streets provided they are registered and insured, like any human-driven car, and equipped with technology to record data about any potential crashes.
No state agency issues permits for or oversees driverless-taxi services — and state law forbids cities and counties from enacting their own driverless-vehicle regulations.
State Sen. Kelly Hancock, who sponsored the state's 2017 autonomous-driving legislation, said the legislature wanted to promote the industry's growth in a competitive marketplace and avoid barriers to entry.
"Being a conservative, I wanted to minimize government's impact," he told Reuters. "We can't have a thousand different regulations. That's how you kill an industry."
Musk moved Tesla's headquarters to Austin in late 2021 from California, where regulators tightly control where and how firms can operate autonomous vehicles. The only two companies that have secured permits to operate paid driverless taxi services to date, General Motors' Cruise and Alphabet's Waymo, logged millions of miles with regulators under more restrictive permits before getting approval to pick up passengers. (Cruise has since halted robotaxi operations).

Mithridates VI (114–63 BCE) or Mithridates Eupator is the king who caused Rome so much trouble during the time of Sulla and Marius. Pontus had been awarded the title of a friend of Rome, but because Mithridates kept making incursions on his neighbors, the friendship was strained. Despite the great military competence of Sulla and Marius and their personal confidence in their ability to check the Eastern despot, it was neither Sulla nor Marius who put an end to the Mithridatic problem. Instead, it was Pompey the Great who earned his honorific in the process.
Moses was an early leader of the Hebrews and probably the most important figure in Judaism. He was raised in the court of the Pharaoh in Egypt, but then led the Hebrew people out of Egypt. Moses is said to have talked with God, who gave him tablets inscribed with laws or commandments referred to as the 10 Commandments.
Moses' story is told in the Biblical book Exodus and is short on archaeological corroboration.
Nebuchadnezzar II was the most important Chaldean king. He ruled from 605–562 BCE. Nebuchadnezzar is best remembered for turning Judah into a province of the Babylonian empire, sending the Jews into Babylonian captivity, and destroying Jerusalem. He is also associated with his hanging gardens, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Musk did say "unsupervised" FSD would be capable of driving with "no one in the car."
Such comments often leave investors guessing what Tesla will actually deliver, and when, said Brian Mulberry, client portfolio manager at Zacks Investment Management, a Tesla investor.
"This is the challenge with Elon: You're kind of reading through the tea leaves here and trying to extrapolate from some fragments what might actually happen," he said.
Mulberry added he was not particularly concerned about the specifics of Musk's promises and timelines this year, provided Tesla shows progress: "The blueprint, I think, is there."
Bryant Walker Smith, a University of South Carolina law professor focused on autonomous driving, said Texas requires no "pre-market approval" before Tesla can deploy driverless vehicles. Yet he doubted Tesla would attempt any broad deployment of autonomous technology – in Texas or anywhere – after what he called its underwhelming demonstration of a robotaxi concept, the Cybercab, last October on a Los Angeles-area movie-studio lot.
"Tesla is not going to flip a switch and suddenly make all of their cars capable of driving by themselves, anywhere, under any conditions," he said.
Smith said the company might more likely attempt a small-scale test of its technology, possibly in limited areas of Austin in good weather, or with humans able to intervene by remote control to prevent crashes.
We know her as the New Kingdom Egyptian queen who wore a tall blue crown, lots of colored jewelry and held up a neck like a swan—as she appears on a bust in a Berlin museum. She was married to an equally memorable pharaoh, Akhenaten, the heretic king who moved the royal family to Amarna, and was related to the boy king Tutankhamen, known mostly for his sarcophagus. Nefertiti may have served as pharaoh under a pseudonym, but at the least she assisted her husband in the governing of Egypt and may have been co-regent.
Autonomous vehicle testing and operation is allowed on Texas roads "as long as they meet the same safety and insurance requirements as every other vehicle on the road," said Adam Hammons, a spokesperson for the state Department of Transportation.
Austin has seen a surge in driverless vehicles on its streets over the last two years, which has led to resident and government concerns after a series of near-miss incidents involving pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles. In 2023, a group of more than 20 Cruise robotaxis caused a traffic jam near the University of Texas campus, blocking the street as they struggled to navigate around one another.
GM declined to comment.
The city has logged 78 formal complaints from law enforcement, emergency responders and residents since July 2023, which officials say may not capture all incidents involving the vehicles. One resident complaint from December described a Waymo vehicle blocking a lane of traffic for half an hour, causing "at least three very close call accidents."
The complaint added: "I can't believe that y'all are allowing potentially deadly technology to be tested on the citizens of this city."
A Waymo spokesperson said the company has worked with local leaders and first responders to "earn the trust of Austin's communities" and is constantly working to improve its service.

Pericles (c. 495–429 BCE) brought Athens to its peak, turning the Delian League into the empire of Athens, and so the era in which he lived is named the Age of Pericles. He helped the poor, set up colonies, built the long walls from Athens to the Piraeus, developed the Athenian navy, and built the Parthenon, the Odeon, the Propylaea, and the temple at Eleusis. The name of Pericles is also attached to the Peloponnesian War. During the war, he ordered the people of Attica to leave their fields and come into the city to stay protected by the walls. Unfortunately, Pericles didn't foresee the effect of disease on the crowded conditions and so, along with many others, Pericles died of the plague near the start of the war.

Pope Hits Trump, Vance Over Migrant Deportations
Pope Rebukes Trump Administration over Migrant Deportations, Warns 'it Will End Badly'
Pope Francis issued a major rebuke Tuesday to the Trump administration’s mass deportation of migrants, warning that the forceful removal of people purely because of their illegal status deprives them of their inherent dignity and “will end badly.”
Francis took the remarkable step of addressing the U.S. migrant crackdown in a letter to U.S. bishops in which he appeared to take direct aim at Vice President JD Vance's defense of the deportation program on theological grounds.

“Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups,” he wrote. "The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the ‘Good Samaritan,’ that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception."
David Gibson, director of the center for religion and culture at Fordham University, said in a social media post that Francis' letter “takes aim at every single absurd theological claim by JD Vance and his allies in conservative Catholicism (and the Catholic electorate)."
“This is the pope also directly countering misinformation about the Catholic faith that is being expounded by the Catholic vice president,” he added to The Associated Press. “And it is the pope supporting the bishops as well.”

But there is a problem with creating this framework -- objectivity. How do men living in a Hellenistic world permeated by Stoicism develop a Christian theology without being influenced by Stoicism? Only with difficulty it turns out. As discussed in a previous post, the Christian apologists had two adversaries: splinter religious groups like the Arians and Gnostics and more seriously the classic Greek philosophers who enjoyed centuries of wide acceptance. The reputation of the Greeks was too strong to dismiss out of hand, so many Christian thinkers made peace with the Greeks, either my attributing Christian beliefs to them or finding Christianity in their philosophy.
We start by highlighting the most famous work of Boethius (executed 522 A.D.) called Consolidation of Philosophy. This paradoxical work attempts to reconcile Greek philosophy and the Christian religion. The paradox derives from the fact that the book reads like its writer is a secular philosopher and not a devout Christian. Pelikan accuses Boethius of pressing reason to the boundaries of faith.
Pelikan also suggests that the triumph of Christianity over Greek philosophy was “Pyrrhic” because the victory by the former included the absorption of some of the tenets of the latter.
Plutarch (c. 45–125 CE) is an ancient Greek biographer who used material that is no longer available to us for his biographies. His two main works are called Parallel Lives and Moralia. The Parallel Lives compare a Greek and a Roman with a focus on how the character of the famous person influenced his life. Some of the 19 completely parallel lives are a stretch and many of the characters are ones we would consider mythological. Other parallel lives have lost one of their parallels.
The Romans made many copies of the Lives and Plutarch has been popular since. Shakespeare, for instance, closely used Plutarch in creating his tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra.
The dates of Sappho of Lesbos are not known. She is thought to have been born around 610 BCE and to have died in about 570. Playing with the available meters, Sappho wrote moving lyric poetry, odes to the goddesses, especially Aphrodite (the subject of Sappho's complete surviving ode), and love poetry, including the wedding genre of epithalamia, using vernacular and epic vocabulary. There is a poetic meter named for her (Sapphic).

"Already, the sticker price of a good or service is marked up by as much as 25% to account for the corporation's tax burden and associated compliance costs. By getting rid of those expenses for businesses, prices at the pump and register will go down as the amount of money hitting your bank account goes up," he added.
Carter told Newsmax earlier this month that a consumption tax is preferred by Americans "because that way they're in charge. They can decide what they want to buy and what they want to pay a tax on."
In his guest column, he acknowledged his plan could be seen as a "radical proposal."
Following an executive order from President Donald Trump, Carr will be launching a broader effort to ensure that every company the FCC regulates complies with civil rights protections by ending any invidious form of DEI discrimination.
"I am starting this broader effort with Comcast and NBCUniversal for two reasons," Carr wrote. "First, as noted above, there is substantial evidence that your companies are still engaging in the promotion of DEI."
"Second, your companies cover a range of sectors regulated by the FCC — from cable to high-speed internet and from broadcast TV stations to MVNO [mobile virtual network operator] wireless offerings."
"Comcast states on its website that promoting DEI is 'a core value of our business' and public reports state that Comcast has an entire 'DEI infrastructure' that includes annual 'DEI day[s],' 'DEI training for company leaders,' and similar initiatives," Carr wrote in the letter. "NBCUniversal has similar DEI initiatives, including executives specifically dedicated to promoting DEI across the TV and programming side of the business.
"But promoting invidious forms of discrimination cannot be squared with any reasonable
interpretation of federal law."
One of Trump's first executive orders as president was the Gulf of Mexico change, and on Monday, workers at the U.S. Board on Geographic Names have formally changed the name to the Gulf of America. Google has also complied and updated its maps, although Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum has promised to ignore it. While traveling to the Super Bowl on Sunday, Trump declared the day as the "first ever Gulf of America Day."
The comments from Khamenei follow further trolling of Trump when, on Monday, Iran's state-run Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, aired a propaganda video depicting the mock arrest of Trump.
Gallup previously last measured opinions of George W. Bush in 2017, when 59% said they viewed him favorably, 37% said they viewed him unfavorably, and 5% did not have an opinion.
Bush's current ratings are the most similar by party, with 63% of Republicans and 48% of Democrats saying they have a favorable view. Those scores are the lowest rating from a president's own party and the highest from the opposition.
Obama's favorability ratings have generally been stable since late 2016, near the end of his presidency.
Disney Reforms DEI Program to Focus on Business Outcomes
Walt Disney is changing its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to focus more closely on business outcomes, while fostering an environment in which all employees can thrive, according to a memo seen by Reuters.

Politico reported that Haaland's path to the general election looks pretty clear, considering current New Mexico Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is term limited, and Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., said previously that he would not run for the state's highest office.
While no Republicans have announced they are running yet, former Republican Rep. Yvette Herrell and failed Senate candidate Nella Domenici could still announce bids, according to Politico.
As a Biden Cabinet official, Haaland led the agency tasked with overseeing the nation's public lands and waters, and she reportedly worked to limit oil and gas extraction and expand the development of renewable energy resources.
According to The Hill, however, the Willow Project, a huge oil and gas drilling initiative in Alaska, was also reapproved during Haaland's tenure.
New Mexico, like many Western states, contains large tracts of land owned by the federal government.
During her time in the House, Haaland was a member of the progressive caucus and sat on the Natural Resources, Armed Services, and Oversight and Reform committees.

Akhenaten or Amenhotep IV (d. c. 1336 BCE) was an 18th dynasty pharaoh of Egypt, son of Amenhotep III and his Chief Queen Tiye, and the husband of the beautiful Nefertiti. He is best known as the heretic king who tried to change the religion of the Egyptians. Akhenaten established a new capital at Amarna to go along with his new religion that focused on the god Aten, whence the pharaoh's preferred name. Following his death, much of what Akhenaten had constructed was destroyed deliberately. Shortly afterward, his successors returned to the old Amun god. Some count Akhenaten as the first monotheist.

Aeschylus (c. 525–456 BCE) was the first great tragic poet. He introduced dialogue, the characteristic tragic boot (cothurnus) and mask. He established other conventions, like the performance of violent acts offstage. Before he became a tragic poet, Aeschylus, who wrote a tragedy about the Persians, fought in the Persian War in the battles of Marathon, Salamis, and Plataea.
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa (c. 60–12 BCE) was a renowned Roman general and close friend of Octavian (Augustus). Agrippa was consul first in 37 BCE. He was also governor of Syria. As general, Agrippa defeated the forces of Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium. Upon his victory, Augustus awarded his niece Marcella to Agrippa for a wife. Then, in 21 BCE, Augustus married his own daughter Julia to Agrippa. By Julia, Agrippa had a daughter, Agrippina, and three sons, Gaius and Lucius Caesar and Agrippa Postumus (so named because Agrippa was dead by the time he was born).

Anaximander of Miletus (c. 611–c. 547 BCE) was a pupil of Thales and teacher of Anaximenes. He is credited with inventing the gnomon on the sundial and with drawing the first map of the world in which people live. He may have drawn a map of the universe. Anaximander may also have been the first to write a philosophical treatise. He believed in an eternal motion and a boundless nature.
This is something that Moderne is setting out to solve.

Anaximenes (d. c. 528 BCE) accounted for natural phenomena like lightning and earthquakes though his philosophical theory. A student of Anaximander, Anaximenes did not share his belief that there was an underlying boundless indeterminateness or apeiron. Instead, Anaximenes thought the underlying principle behind everything was air/mist, which had the advantage of being empirically observable. Different densities of air (rarified and condensed) accounted for different forms. Since everything is made of air, Anaximenes' theory of the soul is that it is made of air and holds us together. He believed the earth was a flat disk with fiery evaporations becoming heavenly bodies.
Archimedes of Syracuse (c.287–c.212 BCE), a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer, determined the exact value of pi and is also known for his strategic role in the ancient war and the development of military techniques. Archimedes put up a good, almost single-handed defense of his homeland. First, he invented an engine that threw stones at the enemy, then he used glass to set the Roman ships on fire—maybe. After he was killed, the Romans had him buried with honor.

Ashoka (304–232 BCE), a Hindu convert to Buddhism, was king of the Mauryan Dynasty in India from 269 until his death. With his capital at Magadha, Ashoka's empire extended into Afghanistan. Following bloody wars of conquest, when Ashoka was considered a cruel warrior, he changed: He eschewed violence, promoting tolerance and the moral welfare of his people. He also established contact with the Hellenistic world. Ashoka posted "the edicts of Ashoka" on great animal-topped pillars, chiseled in the ancient Brahmi script. Mostly reforms, the edicts also list public works projects, including universities, roads, hospitals, and irrigation systems.

Caius Julius Caesar Octavianus (63 BCE–14 CE) and known as Octavian, was the grand-nephew and primary heir of Julius Caesar, who began his career by serving under Julius Caesar in the Spanish expedition of 46 BCE. Upon his grand-uncle's assassination in 44 BCE, Octavian went to Rome to be recognized as the (adopted) son of Julius Caesar. He dealt with the assassins of his father and the other Roman power contenders, and made himself the one-man head of Rome—inventing the role we know of as emperor. In 27 BCE, Octavian became Augustus, restored order and consolidated the principate (the Roman Empire). The Roman Empire that Augustus created lasted for 500 years.
Caligula or Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (12–41 CE) followed Tiberius to be the third Roman emperor. He was adored at his accession, but after an illness, his behavior changed. Caligula is remembered as sexually perverted, cruel, insane, extravagant, and desperate for funds. Caligula had himself worshiped as a god while still alive, instead of after death as had been done before. Several assassination attempts are thought to have been made before the successful conspiracy of the Praetorian Guard did him in, on January 24, 41.

Marcus Porcius Cato (234–149 BCE), a novus homo from Tusculum, in Sabine country, was an austere leader of the Roman Republic known for coming into conflict with his contemporary, the more flamboyant Scipio Africanus, winner of the Second Punic War.
Cato the Younger is the name of one of Julius Caesar's staunchest opponents. Cato the Elder is his ancestor.
Cato the Elder served in the military, especially in Greece and Spain. He became consul at 39 and later, censor. He influenced Roman life in law, foreign and domestic policy, and morality.
Cato the Elder despised luxury, especially of the Greek variety his enemy Scipio favored. Cato also disapproved of Scipio's leniency towards the Carthaginians at the conclusion of the Second Punic War.
King Ying Zheng (Qin Shing) unified the warring states of China and became the First Emperor or Emperor Ch'in (Qin) in 221 BCE. This ruler commissioned the gigantic terracotta army and subterranean palace/mortuary complex found, via pottery sherds, by farmers digging in their fields, two millennia later, during the tenure of one his greatest admirers, Chairman Mao.
The sagacious Confucius, Kongzi, or Master Kung (551–479 BCE) was a social philosopher whose values became dominant in China only after he died. Advocating living virtuously, he put emphasis on socially appropriate behavior.
Constantine the Great (c. 272–337 CE) was famed for winning the battle at the Milvian Bridge, reuniting the Roman Empire under one emperor (Constantine himself), winning major battles in Europe, legalizing Christianity, and establishing a new eastern capital of Rome at the city, Nova Roma, formerly Byzantium, that was to be named Constantinople.
Constantinople (now known as Istanbul) became the capital of the Byzantine Empire, which lasted until it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
It is unclear how many people will be affected by the layoffs, but in September 2024, Meta employed around 72,000 people, so a 5% reduction could reduce staff by roughly 3,600 jobs, Bloomberg reported.
Hiring replacements for laid-off employees could take until mid-March
A separate internal memo, posted by Meta's VP of Engineering for Monetization Peng Fan on Friday, asked employees to assist with the hiring process for machine learning engineers and other "business critical engineering roles," Reuters reported. This process would begin on Feb. 11 and last until March 13, Fan said, per the outlet.
Schneider says Moderne was well-suited to LLMs due to OpenRewrite’s Lossless Semantic Tree (LST) code representation — a structured representation of source code that enables deeper semantic understanding while retaining the original details (e.g. whitespace, comments, and syntax). Originally, this was designed for an OpenRewrite feature called Recipes, but it ended up being the “ideal data source” for what OpenRewrite is now doing with AI.
“These [LLM] models are data-hungry, and LST has proven to be an invaluable data source for code,” Schneider said. “The LST captures deep structural and semantic context across thousands of repositories. This unique capability allows Moderne to fuel AI models with vital context, enabling agentic experiences that can drive modernization, security, and code analysis efforts on a massive scale.”

Titus Flavius Domitianus or Domitian (51–96 CE) was the last of the Flavian emperors. Domitian and the Senate had a mutually hostile relationship, so although Domitian may have balanced the economy and done other good works, including rebuilding the fire-damaged city of Rome, he is remembered as one of the worst Roman emperors, since his biographers were mainly of the senatorial class. He strangled the Senate's power and executed some of its members. His reputation among Christians and Jews was tainted by his persecution.
Following Domitian's assassination, the Senate decreed damnatio memoriae for him, meaning that his name was removed from records and coins minted for him were re-melted.
Euclid of Alexandria (fl. 300 BCE) is the father of geometry (hence, Euclidean geometry) and his "Elements" is still in use.
Hammurabi (r.1792–1750 BCE) was an important Babylonian king responsible for what is known as the Code of Hammurabi. It is generally referred to as an early law code, although it's actual function is debated. Hammurabi also improved the state, building canals and fortifications. He united Mesopotamia, defeated Elam, Larsa, Eshnunna, and Mari, and made Babylonia an important power. Hammurabi started the "Old Babylonian period" that lasted for about 1500 years.

“Ask any tech executive if they ever reach that ‘north star’ before it moves,” Schneider said. “Codebases are in a constant state of evolution, requiring updates, security fixes, consolidation, improvements — modernization never ends. Ironically, the most modern tech stacks are the ones most susceptible to breakage from the rapid iteration of the third-party and open-source dependencies on which they rely.”

Heraclitus (fl. 69th Olympiad, 504–501 BCE) is the first philosopher known to use the word kosmos for world order, which he says ever was and ever will be, not created by god or man. Heraclitus is thought to have abdicated the throne of Ephesus in favor of his brother. He was known as Weeping Philosopher and Heraclitus the Obscure.
Heraclitus uniquely put his philosophy into aphorisms, like "On those stepping into rivers staying the same other and other waters flow" (DK22B12), which is part of his confusing theories of Universal Flux and the Identity of Opposites. In addition to nature, Heraclitus made human nature a concern of philosophy.
Under former President Joe Biden, appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, and gas stoves had to conform to stringent climate standards, which manufacturers and experts have said could lead to more expensive, and less effective, alternatives than currently available models.
In a Truth Social post early Tuesday, Trump called on Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin to immediately cancel Biden's climate mandates and reinstate the environmental orders from his previous administration.
Trump signed an executive order Monday to reverse a Biden-era federal move away from plastic straws, saying that paper straws "don't work" and do not last long enough to be useful.
"It's a ridiculous situation," the president said. "We're going back to plastic straws."
Trump's order will launch a review of federal purchasing policies that restrict plastic straws and targets a policy from the Biden administration that sought to phase out federal purchases of single-use plastics from food service packaging, operations and events by 2027, and ultimately from all federal operations by 2035.
In response to Trump's comments, CEO Daniel Mamadou of Kvanefjeld license holder Energy Transition Minerals, said: "I think it certainly puts everything related to minerals back on the map."
Kvanefjeld is among the world's top three rare earth deposits outside China, capable of supplying up to 15% of global production of the critical components used in manufacture of consumer electronics and weapons, according to Mamadou.
However, the project's development was halted four years ago following the election of the Inuit Ataqatigiit party, which had pledged to stop the Kvanefjeld project due to its uranium content and proximity to populated areas.
Its government coalition partner Siumut, which did not vote for the passing of the uranium ban in 2021, has since the election was called not said if it wants to scrap the uranium law. However, Siumut says in its party constitution that it should be possible to develop mines with uranium as a biproduct.
The head of Greenland's biggest labor union SIK with 8,000 members supports the development of Kvanefjeld.
Before the halt, Energy Transition Minerals had invested over 1 billion Danish crowns ($138 million) in the project. The company has since launched an arbitration case seeking compensation from the Greenlandic and Danish state.
Vance Rails Against 'Excessive Regulation' of AI at Paris Summit
Excessive regulation could cripple the rapidly growing artificial intelligence industry in a rebuke to European efforts to curb AI's risks, Vice President J.D. Vance warned Tuesday.
Vice President J.D. Vance on Tuesday warned global leaders and tech industry executives that "excessive regulation" could cripple the rapidly growing artificial intelligence industry in a rebuke to European efforts to curb AI's risks.
The speech underscored a widening, three-way rift over AI.
The United States, under President Donald Trump, champions a hands-off approach to fuel innovation, while Europe is tightening the reins with strict regulations to ensure safety and accountability. Meanwhile, China is rapidly expanding AI through state-backed tech giants, vying for dominance in the global race.
The Jericho River is more than it seems on the surface and is not just one more adventure story. Advertised to be a subtle teaching of history in an action adventure wrapper, it is certainly that. You experience the history first hand from the characters that are living it and that experience is more real than dates and names in a history book. And while it may be geared to the adolescent reader, it fits the adult fun equation as well.
If you want to look beneath the fun and get philosophical, you can do that too by contemplating one of the great moral themes in the history of man -- the role of science and its impact on human spirituality. Man has embarked on a 2000 year journey to explain the world and, as he has done so, gradually replaced fear of the unknown with science. Where does this process end and what do we have when all is known?
The Trump administration will "ensure that AI systems developed in America are free from ideological bias," Vance said and pledged the U.S. would "never restrict our citizens' right to free speech."
Vance also took aim at foreign governments for "tightening the screws" on U.S. tech firms, saying such moves were troubling. His remarks underscored the growing divide between Washington and its European allies on AI governance.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed that, "AI needs the confidence of the people and has to be safe″ and detailed EU guidelines intended to standardize the bloc's AI Act but acknowledged concerns over regulatory burden.
"At the same time, I know that we have to make it easier and we have to cut red tape and we will," she added.
She also announced that the "InvestAI" initiative had reached a total of €200 billion in AI investments across Europe, including €20 billion dedicated to AI gigafactories.
The summit laid bare competing global AI strategies — Europe pushing to regulate and invest, China expanding AI through state-backed giants, and the U.S. doubling down on an unregulated, free-market approach.
French President Emmanuel Macron positioned Europe as a "third way" in the AI race, one that avoids dependence on major powers like the U.S. and China.
"We want a fair and open access to these innovations for the whole planet," he said in his closing speech, arguing that the AI sector "needs rules" on a global scale to build public trust and urging greater "international governance."
Concerns over AI's potential dangers have loomed over the summit, particularly as nations grapple with how to regulate a technology that is increasingly entwined with defense and warfare.
"I think one day we will have to find ways to control AI or else we will lose control of everything," said Admiral Pierre Vandier, NATO's commander who oversees the alliance's modernization efforts.
Beyond diplomatic tensions, a global public-private partnership is being launched called "Current AI," aimed at supporting large-scale AI initiatives for the public good.
Analysts see this as an opportunity to counterbalance the dominance of private companies in AI development. However, it remains unclear whether the U.S. will support such efforts.
French President Emmanuel Macron, addressing the energy demands of AI, contrasted France's nuclear-powered approach with the U.S.‘s reliance on fossil fuels, quipping: France won't "drill, baby, drill," but "plug, baby, plug."
Vance's diplomatic tour will continue in Germany, where he will attend the Munich Security Conference and press European allies to increase commitments to NATO and Ukraine. He may also meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Vance will discuss Ukraine and the Middle East over a working lunch with Macron.
Unknown to Caesar was the blockade set up by Pompey using his fleet under the command of Bibulus. Caesar was very fortunate in that he caught Bibulus off guard with a winter crossing and was able to reach the coast of Epirus (1). When Caesar sent the fleet back to retrieve the rest of the army, it was intercepted, blocked, and many ships were lost (2). Caesar now faced the prospect of fighting Pompey’s army of 45,000 with an army of 15,000. He attempted to treat with Pompey several times but was rebuffed. Resigned to doing battle, Caesar instructed the newly arrived Anthony to break the blockade and head north to meet him at Dyrrhachium (3,4). Pompey, hearing of Caesar’s movements, marched from Macedonia to try and get between Caesar and Anthony (5). Unsuccessful, he set up camp along the coastline south of Dyrrhachium.

Imhotep was a famous Egyptian architect and physician from the 27th century BCE. The step pyramid at Saqqara is thought to have been designed by Imhotep for 3rd Dynasty Pharaoh Djoser (Zoser). The medicine of the 17th century B.C. Edwin Smith Papyrus is also attributed to Imhotep.
Julius Caesar (102/100–44 BCE) may have been the greatest man of all times. By age 39/40, Caesar had been a widowed and divorced, governor (propraetor) of Further Spain, captured by pirates, hailed as imperator by adoring troops, quaestor, aedile, consul, and elected pontifex maximus. He formed the Triumvirate, enjoyed military victories in Gaul, became dictator for life, and started a civil war. When Julius Caesar was assassinated, his death set the Roman world in turmoil. Like Alexander who began a new historical era, Julius Caesar, the last great leader of the Roman Republic, set in motion the creation of the Roman Empire.
Titus Lucretius Carus (c. 98–55BCE) was a Roman Epicurean epic poet who wrote De rerum natura (On the Nature of Things). De rerum natura is an epic, written in six books, which explains life and the world in terms of Epicurean principles and the theory of Atomism. Lucretius had a significant influence on western science and has inspired modern philosophers, including Gassendi, Bergson, Spencer, Whitehead, and Teilhard de Chardin, according to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
Musk made his latest robotaxi promises the same day Tesla reported disappointing earnings, which missed analysts' expectations and followed earlier news that Tesla posted its first-ever sales decline in 2024. Shares rose 3% the following day.
He promised Tesla would launch "autonomous ride-hailing for money in Austin, in June." Musk did not say how many cars, how customers would access them or whether the service would be available to everyone.
The rollout of "unsupervised" FSD in California and "many regions of the country" would follow later this year, Musk said, without explaining whether that meant driverless-taxi services, a feature Tesla owners could buy, or some other offering.
Nero (37–68 CE) was the last of the Julio-Claudian emperors, the most important family of Rome that produced the first five emperors (Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero). Nero is famed for watching while Rome burned and then using the devastated area for his own luxurious palace and blaming the conflagration on the Christians, whom he then persecuted.
Police have run into problems where driverless vehicles don't respond to hand signals from officers directing traffic, and the city has been unable to issue tickets to the vehicles, according to a spokesperson for Austin's Transportation and Public Works department. The city recently came up with a way to submit complaints in municipal court when officers observe traffic violations.
Tesla reached out to Austin officials last May, and city officials provided information about local fire and police procedures, maps of schools and school zones, and traffic rules during special events, the spokesperson said. Austin City Council member Zo Qadri, who represents downtown areas frequented by robotaxis, said he's frustrated the city can't impose rules on "private companies using these public roads as a testing ground."
"Ultimately," he said, "we have no power."
Bob Oravec, lead forecaster with the National Weather Service, said the storm moved from the Great Lakes into the Northeast, with accumulated totals of 6 to 12 inches in upstate New York and New England and 3-5 inches around Boston and New York City. While northern areas enjoyed the powder, the snowfall in New York City was wet and dense, clogging storm drains and creating ponds of water at sidewalk intersections in Northern Manhattan.
Airports in Boston and New York saw increased flight delays and cancelations Sunday.
Parmenides (b 510 BCE) was a Greek philosophy from Elea in Italy. He argued against the existence of a void, a theory used by later philosophers in the expression "nature abhors a vacuum," which stimulated experiments to disprove it. Parmenides argued that change and motion are only delusions.
Paul (or Saul) of Tarsus in Cilicia (d. 67 CE) set the tone for Christianity, including an emphasis on celibacy and theory of divine grace and salvation, as well as eliminating the circumcision requirement. It was Paul who called the New Testament evangelion, "the gospel."

PBS Shutters DEI Office, Adheres to Trump Directive
PBS, which receives federal funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, has closed its diversity, equity, and inclusion office.
PBS, which receives federal funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, has closed its diversity, equity, and inclusion office.
The closure follows an executive order by President Donald Trump issued on Inauguration Day that called for terminating "to the maximum extent allowed by law, all DEI, DEIA, and 'environmental justice' offices and positions (including but not limited to 'Chief Diversity Officer' positions)."
Last month, Brendan Carr, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission who was appointed by Trump, announced an investigation into whether PBS and National Public Radio, also a division of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, violated government regulations with its use of sponsors.
Carr wrote a letter to the news networks announcing the investigation into whether NPR and PBS member stations violated regulations by airing information about financial sponsors, which Carr said could be considered "announcements that cross the line into prohibited commercial advertisements."
History's first Latin American pope has long made caring for migrants a priority of his pontificate, demanding that countries welcome, protect, promote and integrate those fleeing conflicts, poverty and climate disasters. Francis has also said governments are expected to do so to the limits of their capacity.
The Argentine Jesuit and President Donald Trump have long sparred over migration, including before Trump's first administration when Francis famously said anyone who builds a wall to keep out migrants was “not a Christian.”
In the letter, Francis said nations have the right to defend themselves and keep their communities safe from criminals.
“I have followed closely the major crisis that is taking place in the United States with the initiation of a program of mass deportations,” Francis wrote. “The rightly formed conscience cannot fail to make a critical judgment and express its disagreement with any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality.”
It is one thing to develop a policy to regulate migration legally, it is another to expel people purely on the basis of their illegal status, he wrote.
“What is built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will end badly,” he said.
On Monday, the Vatican's main charity Caritas International warned that millions of people could die as a result of the “ruthless” U.S. decision to “recklessly” stop USAID funding. Caritas asked governments to urgently call on the Trump administration to reverse course.
It's not unusual for a pope to address a country’s bishops or faithful to deliver a specific message. Francis wrote to German Catholics in 2019 to express concern about the German church’s reform process. He wrote to the faithful of the Middle East and in Ukraine last year to express his solidarity in a time of war. Pope Benedict XVI wrote to the Irish faithful in 2010 following the devastating revelations of the country’s clergy sexual abuse crisis.
DHS: Deputize IRS Agents for Deportation Efforts
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called on the Treasury to deputize some law-enforcement agents, including criminal investigators at the Internal Revenue Service, to assist with the Trump administration's deportation efforts, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called on the Treasury to deputize some law-enforcement agents, including criminal investigators at the Internal Revenue Service, to assist with the Trump administration's deportation efforts, according to The Wall Street Journal.
There are 2,290 special agents at the IRS' criminal-investigation division, according to its most recent annual report, a 10% increase since 2022. In 2022, the then-Democrat-controlled Congress voted to expand the agency and provide it with more resources for enforcement.
Republican lawmakers opposed the IRS expansion and Trump has made several comments about sending IRS agents to work at the border. He promised to conduct the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. Immigration and Customs Enforcement netted several thousand criminal migrants in the first couple weeks of Trump's second presidency.
My source book for this discussion is The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition by Jaroslav Pelikan. Professor Pelikan was an eminent scholar in the history of the Catholic Church and Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Yale from 1972-1996. He wrote a five volume set on the Catholic tradition including the work cited above which serves as volume one.
Pelikan cites the closing of the Greek philosophical school by Justinian in 529 A.D. as the triumph of the church over pagan philosophy. Or as Gibbon put it,
“this was a time when Christian theologians superseded the exercise of reason, resolved every question by an article of faith, and condemned the infidel or skeptic to eternal flames.”
Siddhartha Gautama was a spiritual teacher of enlightenment who acquired hundreds of followers in India and founded Buddhism. His teachings were preserved orally for centuries before they were transcribed on palm-leaf scrolls. Siddhartha may have been born c. 538 BCE. to Queen Maya and King Suddhodana of the Shakya in ancient Nepal. By the third century BCE Buddhism appears to have spread to China.
The Texas Law Review referred to Lexipol as "a dominant force in police policymaking across the country" that "offers a valuable service, particularly for smaller law enforcement agencies that are without the resources to draft and update policies on their own."
The nonprofit also notes that the company has come under fire over its pushback against police reform efforts and that some of its policies have been challenged in courts as contributing to racial profiling.
"Therefore, I expect that this investigation into Comcast and its NBCUniversal operations will aid the commission's broader efforts to root out invidious forms of DEI discrimination across all of the sectors the FCC regulates."
Comcast's written DEI initiative is "invidious" and "cannot be squared with any reasonable
interpretation of federal law," according to Carr.
While the Iranian leader's derision of Trump appears light, the threats against Trump's life by Iran are very real. On Sunday, reporter Alex Isenstadt revealed that threats against the president had reached such a level during the 2024 campaign that Trump took a decoy flight out of fear of being shot down by an Iranian sleeper cell.
Isenstadt wrote that last year, "Law enforcement officials warned Trump that Tehran had placed operatives in the U.S. with access to surface-to-air missiles."
Trump's ratings are among his best since Gallup first measured opinions of him in 1999. He has had only one net-positive rating to date. That was 50% favorable and 38% unfavorable in 2005, when he was featured in the reality television show "The Apprentice" and before he entered politics.
Among Republicans, 93% say they have a favorable view of Trump, and only 7% of Democrats say likewise.
The Gallup survey results concerning the other living former presidents show 59% favorable, 36% unfavorable for Barack Obama, 52% favorable and 34% unfavorable for George W. Bush, and 48% favorable and 41% unfavorable for Bill Clinton.
"New Mexicans know our lives better than anyone, and I want to know yours," Haaland continued. "In the coming weeks, I'll be traveling the state to ask you about your ideas, your struggles, and your hopes for our future because New Mexicans are fierce. That's how we succeed."
Citing her membership in the Pueblo of Laguna tribe, the former Democrat congresswoman describes herself as a 35th generation New Mexican. She is reportedly the first candidate to enter the open 2026 race.
But then a new leader arose, Chrysippus, a man who may have been greater than Zeno. He was inspirational but at the same time thoroughly analytical. At first Chrysippus was unhappy with the direction of the Stoic school based on doctrinal arguments with the school’s leader Cleanthes, but when the latter died in 230 B.C, Chrysippus became the leader. He helped create structure for Zeno’s beliefs and defended them without reservation. When Chrysippus died in 206 B.C. another leaderless period began.
By the middle 2nd century, the school was led by Antipater, who pushed for recognition of the relationship between Stoicism and Platonism. The common ground identified with the Academy would influence Stoic thinking for all of the future.

Cornelius Tacitus (c. 56–120 CE) is considered the greatest of the ancient historians. He writes about maintaining neutrality in his writing. A student of the grammarian Quintilian, Tacitus wrote:
De vita Iulii Agricolae 'The Life of Julius Agricola
De origine et situ Germanorum 'The Germania'
Dialogus de oratoribus 'Dialogue on Oratory' 'Histories'
Ab excessu divi Augusti 'Annals'
Dana Brown played this perfectly. 1 year ago he told the media the Astros want to sign Altuve and Bregman for life. They want both players to retire as an Astros. The media runs to both players and asks them about that. BOTH players say how much they love Houston, the fans, the organization, and how they would be honored to retire as an Astros. Dana Brown put them "on the record". BOTH players have Boras as their agent. Only one player told Boras to get a deal done - Altuve signed his contract. Bregman declined his. Who really loves playing for the Astros? Dana Brown won the info/publicity battle. The Astros look great in the fans eyes while Bregman looks terrible/greedy.
Id like to hear David's thoughts on this.
Rumors of Astros increasing their offer are most likely old. The reports dont say "when". Could be that the Astros improved their 6/156m offer back in December. This is Boras leaking old news to get the other teams to "improve their offer."
FOX released NFL ratings for the Superbowl on Tuesday. According to FOX...NFL ratings hit record highs for the Superbowl. However...the reports of thousands of empty seats inside the Superdome appear to be accurate...as the NFL failed to sellout the Superbowl.
We reveal and react to attendance and NFL ratings for the Superbowl. We question the reported ratings for the Superbowl...and explain how the NFL achieved record highs. We also discuss Kendrick Lamar halftime performance...and explain why the NFL could have difficulties booking artists for future Superbowl halftime shows.
