the reason its bad to run universities like businesses is that almost all businesses fail on any reasonable timeline of evaluation.

They claim financial exigency, but then turn down $4 million pledges to keep the PhD programs open and disregard financial analyses that point to the real problem—bad real estate deals, spending on consultants, and their own salaries 2/2

Ah, das ist sehr wichtig:

Erstmals verhängt die EU-Kommission eine Geldbuße gegen eine Social-Media-Plattform aus den USA - und zwar wegen Verstößen gegen den Digital Services Act

Elon Musks Plattform soll 120 Millionen Euro zahlen - wenn X nicht genügend nachjustiert, drohen weitere Strafen

Commission fines X €120 million under the Digital Services Act
Today, the Commission has issued a fine of €120 million to X for breaching its transparency obligations under the Digital Services Act (DSA).

Out with #sophiefromromania on a frosty morning with icy pavements. I’m treading very gingerly because I don’t want to end up in hospital on the day I’m due at hospital for a minor but to me quite significant eye operation

This figure shows the composition of job titles of Japanese participants in the study-trip programme in the US in each year between 1955 and 1966 Following WWII, Japan experienced three decades of rapid productivity growth and convergence with the US. This column studies the Japanese Productivity Program, a joint US-Japanese initiative to transfer American management and industrial knowledge to Japan. Overseas study trips were a key part of the programme, allowing Japanese managers, engineers, and union representatives to observe modern American factories, offices, and management systems firsthand. It finds that the programme helped firms grow in scale and management sophistication, laying the foundation for future productivity improvements, which made Japan a leader in industrial efficiency by the 1980s.

Will eating less meat and dairy reduce greenhouse gas emissions? - Economics Observatory
Eating less meat and dairy will almost certainly reduce emissions. What is less certain is where emissions will fall.

In a new blog, @athenedonald.bsky.social & Nicola Padfield argue that government policies excluding the poorest families from vital nursery provision harms children's school readiness, and raises NEET risk—this is a morally wrong "false economy” that costs society far more later.
