Economic growth and development becomes much more cooler and awe inspiring when you think of it less as "line goes up" and more as "increasing productive power of the species".

I am pretty annoyed by a local retired lady who has both
- Advocated against building new solar nearby because of the environment
- Advocated against building new data centers because of the electricity prices

Hormuz is still closed and as long as that is the case, Brent front month can't really live below $100, product prices will continue to climb ($5 gas in the US by May), shortages will keep popping up, demand destruction will proceed, economic activity will take a hit.
Doesn't matter who is shooting and who isn't.

If you seriously think Trump is going to nuke Iran, you are a wordcel.
A lot of you would benefit from consciously trying to quantify your intuitions: how likely is this, how big a problem is this etc. rather than getting one-shotted by every insane claim you see on social media

Singapore is the world's second busiest port and our diplomats chaired the UN convention for the law of the sea, people expecting our country to do otherwise are deluded.
Sโpore will not negotiate for safe passage through Strait of Hormuz as matter of principle: Vivian bit.ly/4vh3kti

Has anyone written about whether the gonzo marketing tactics of small Chinese contract manufacturers on Instagram Reels โworksโ or whether it just makes for amusing content. Like that company that sells charging cables.

A real ceasefire that even partially reopened the Strait of Hormuzโeven under suboptimal conditions and effective Iranian controlโwould be a godsend to supply-parched markets on the edge of breaking and would spare considerable economic and human misery.
A fake ceasefire announcement meant to placate markets actually worsens the long-term consequences of this crisis by delaying more durable adjustments to ongoing shortages.
The Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

Congratulations to India, to Prime Minister @nardendramodi and to the scientists & engineers on this important technological achievement after many years of development
This reactor will use much less nuclear fuel than other reactors and lay a pathway towards a closed fuel cycle
Apr 6
Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.
