RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)Four-fifths of the world's trade goes by ocean. A crucial part of rimland geostrategy is the military ability to interdict that trade. As the Houthis have amply demonstrated, the countries most able to interdict that trade are the ones that sit athwart the trade routes.This makes the countries that bottleneck the ocean routes between East Asia and the Middle East / Europe among the most geostrategically important countries of the 21st century.What do these rimland bottleneck count ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)This is an extremely fraudulent use of the word "community." Strangers with alien customs come from distant lands, uninvited by actual existing communities; suddenly a politician calls them "an integral part of the community."Very much no.Actual communities are people with well-understood and shared customs who *communicate*. Without shared understandings and customs, and without well-understood communications based on those shared understandings, there is no community. There are ...

RT Nick Szabo (@NickSzabo4)It seems Jane Street may have had a long-standing culture that essentially trained crypto scammers, and perhaps also concocted and ran some of the scams themselves.Terra/Luna was a jenga tower waiting for somebody to topple it, and it may have been Jane Street that figured out how to do it.

Big moment for Postman users!Postman just rethought how API work fits into the developer workflow.For years, collections have lived in one place and code in another. The codebase is versioned in Git, CI runs on branches and pull requests, but API specs, collections, and tests sit in a separate cloud with their own sync model.Keeping them aligned has always been a manual, fragile process.The New Postman changes this.Collections, specs, environments, and tests now live as YAML files directly in the Git repo, ...
