Latvia’s defence minister says we should not think of Russia as the product of Putin, but rather think of Putin as the product of Russia.

There’s great wisdom in that thought.

Think Donald Trump isn’t really serious about being a dictator? Think again

Trump has always flirted with the idea of autocracy.

But now that flirtation has become a full-on embrace.

He has threatened to weaponize the Justice Department against his political opponents,

gut the civil service system to replace professional federal employees with loyalists,

invoke the Insurrection Act to put down protests,

reinstitute his ban on Muslim immigration

and incarcerate millions of immigrants in detention camps.

If you don’t think he’s serious, you’re in denial.

Emissions from in-house data centers of Google, Microsoft, Meta and Apple may be 💥7.62 times higher than official tally

Big tech has made some big claims about greenhouse gas emissions in recent years.
But as the rise of artificial intelligence creates ever bigger energy demands,
🔸it’s getting hard for the industry to hide the true costs of the data centers powering the tech revolution.
According to a Guardian analysis, from 2020 to 2022 the real emissions from the “in-house” or company-owned data centers of Google, Microsoft, Meta and Apple are likely about 662%
– or 7.62 times
– higher than officially reported.

(1/3) This weekend, I'm diving into Jonathan Regenstein's latest book - "A Practical Guide to Macroeconomic Data with Python" 🚀.

This book was co-authored together with Prof. Sudheer Chava and Prof. Emmanuel Alanis, and it offers two versions - one for R and the other for Python 🐍. As the title suggests, it focuses on analyzing macroeconomic data using R and Python 🎯.
