How many profs in major PhD granting science departments have *not* advised even 1 Chinese student or Chinese postdoc in the last five years 😧?
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

It was not "largely responsible"; that's just hand waving.
But it wasn't good.

This is one of many reasons why President Obama’s 2009 decision to “look forward as opposed to looking backwards,” granting the vast criminality and lawlessness under W Bush a free pass, was absolutely catastrophic for the country and largely responsible for our current politics of impunity in 2025.

This may need to be a blog post, but users tend to think ingress-nginx is simple because they can go to town with annotations. In reality, the features that they want are actually really complex to expose safely. This is why the project struggled with CVEs.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Trump doesn’t like data. He eschews facts. He wants investors and consumers — and everyone else — to be in the dark, because then he can lie without fear of factual contradiction. He can pretend that he’s been wildly successful even when he’s been a terrible failure.

One of my earliest moments of radicalization was in 2005 when Larry Summers said that women biologically have less aptitude for science than men. Following that, scores of equally unimpressive people wrote pieces trying to explain or justify his remarks, when they should have called for his removal.

To be honest I’m pretty sure the “sincere“ eugenicists - i.e., people who are in favor of immigration from China or wherever - are simply racists whose fixation is specifically ANTI-BLACK RACISM instead of strict white supremacy
there are a few sincere eugenicists like Richard Hannania and they are meaningfully different than just garden-variety racists (no, this is not me saying "they're great! I love them! no problems!"). in theory it's an elitist but not necessarily racist mindset. in practice it like 90% is.
the fact that being really into eugenics appears to sort people for being shitty human is kind of amazing. like there is, in theory, room to be super interested in the area in principle and not be a shitty human being, but the correlation is robust
