11·1 year agoTbh this is a better signal for academic integrity checks than it is for anything else

World News@lemmy.world•Russian advances prompt public criticism of Ukraine’s Kursk pushEnglish
13·1 year agoYeah honestly I don’t really understand why Ukraine diverted forces to Kursk. They were dug into strong positions in Donetsk… Positions they’ve since had to give up as the Russian advance picks up pace.
Maybe Syrskyi saw the writing on the wall and went for a hail mary?

13·1 year agoThe Teslas from Shanghai are straight up better than the ones from Fremont… And if we’re being honest Shanghai probably has better quality of life than San Jose.

World News@lemmy.ml•China’s yuan leaps to 7-month high, led by stronger yen, unwinding of global carry trade

China’s property bender has led to long, tough hangover: economist Mao Zhenhua
Honestly this is probably the only way to actually get those resources developed at this point.
Sinopec and Rosneft are absolute beasts in scaling O&G. Given China’s specific USD reserve issues right now, it might make sense to route US assets into developing Sinopec assets abroad.

2·1 year agoYou’re barking up the wrong tree with this one. The real story is the number of US Olympians that have TUEs that coincidentally are performance enhancers and the relative lack of TUEs for other countries’ Olympians (e.g., China).

World News@lemmy.ml•Global methane emissions rising at fastest rate in decades, scientists warn
141·1 year agoSurely this can’t be caused by the biggest economies in the world relying on “clean” natural gas (that is, 99% methane) instead of “dirty” coal… Right?
