“Friedrich Hayek, in “The Use of Knowledge in Society,” practically the ur-text of #freemarket fundamentalism, notes that the free market needs a process by which #knowledge is constantly communicated and acquired.”

When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.

I wonder if Trump and friends realize that Greenland is smaller than the US.
I used to have the impression that Iceland is much bigger than the Netherlands. 
See the true size of a country compared to another country…
It is better to be vaguely right than exactly wrong.

Facts People Facts - #ElonMusk was a permanent fixture in the early weeks of the administration. But he quickly became a #political liability. His mass #firings and chaotic rehiring of some #federal #workers are now estimated to have cost #taxpayers $135 billion — wiping out most of the $160 billion that #DOGE claims it saved. #government #politics #maga #economy #medicare #medicaid #healthcare #dipomacy #knowledge #expertise #skills
State of (in)security - Week 17, 2025
During the week of April 21-28, 2025, there was an increase in cybersecurity advisories (19, up from 10 the previous week) and a slight decrease in incidents (16, down from 18), with a total of 396,281 impacted individuals across various sectors including healthcare, government, and telecommunications, primarily due to human bad security behavior, system misconfiguration exploits, and third party compromise.
**Be very conscious about third party vulnerabilities. There are a lot of vulnerable libraries that we are using, and even some that hackers have actively breached and injected malicious code. Keep third party code in your risk plan, and try to monitor it regularly. It's hard, but checking will let you sleep better.**

Barbie didn't give me a poor body image. Barbie taught me you can't reattach a head once it's removed from the body.
And this has been very useful.

Small test for the #knowledge bubble, perhaps in #physics or #geology:
What happens with XY after #impacts up to about 900 m/sec or momentary #shock #pressures up to about 1.49 gigapascals? (I assume humans would be mush?). I have no idea!
I'm looking for a real life comparisons to make these values imaginable. I take everything from plushies to planets!
