My #AI cannot #decipher it and find the object of the #poem, can you? I'll #zap 500 #sats for the first #cyphergeek who solve this riddle.

One of the few commendable things about Trump is that he dismantled the entire European staging of multilateralism. All the bullshits about equal relations between the two sides of the Atlantic and the benevolent nature of the hegemon in the Old Continent that Europeans have been telling themselves since the end of World War II.

When I hear Rutte speaking, I become in favor of restoring corporal punishment.

Could we reframe the whole #Core Vs #Knot debate with #Aristotle? Corrupted Oligarchy Vs Benevolent(?) Monarchy #bitcoin #politics #fork

Not to mention that I find it quite challenging to characterize China as a centrally planned country or Europe as a free market paradise, imo there are no socialist or capitalist states when they address national interests (a.k.a. elites' power self-preservation); there is only statism and its harah monopoly on violence and coercition.

Daily discover. I'm as bad at rejecting a candidate as I am at rejecting a girl. The Common Thread: The Fear of Being the "Bad Guy" At their core, both situations involve: · Delivering rejection: You are the bearer of bad news. · Causing disappointment: You know the other person has hope and has invested time/emotion. · Fear of awkwardness: The interaction is inherently uncomfortable. · Desire to be kind: You're a decent person who doesn't want to hurt others. This combination often leads to procrastination, ghosting, or sending a vague, confusing message—which ultimately causes more pain than a clear, timely rejection. --- How to Get Better at Rejecting a Candidate This is a professional skill you can, and should, master. It protects your company's brand and shows respect for the candidate's time. 1. Have a System (The "It's not personal, it's business" Script): · Use a Template: Create a polite, standard rejection email. This isn't cold; it's efficient and fair. · Be Prompt: Don't leave them hanging. As soon as the decision is made, send the notification. · Be Clear and Direct (but not brutal): · Do: "Thank you so much for your time and interest in the [Job Title] role at [Company]. We were impressed with your background, but we have decided to move forward with a candidate whose experience more closely aligns with our current needs." · Don't: "We found someone better." or "You weren't good enough." 2. The "3 C's" of a Good Rejection: · Clear: They should have no doubt that it's a "no." · Concise: Get to the point quickly. Don't bury the lead in three paragraphs of fluff. · Constructive (if possible): For candidates who made it far, a brief, genuine piece of feedback can be invaluable. "While your technical skills were strong, we found a candidate with more direct experience in [Specific Area]." 3. Reframe Your Mindset: You are not rejectingthem as a person. You are making a business decision that there was a better fit for this specific role at this specific time. A timely, clear rejection allows them to move on and focus on the right opportunity. --- How to Get Better at Rejecting Someone Romantically This is harder because it's deeply personal, but the principles of clarity and kindness are the same. 1. The Goal is Kind Clarity, Not a Pain-Free Experience: You cannot avoid hurting their feelings.The goal is to minimize the damage and avoid stringing them along. A clean break is kinder than a slow, confusing fade. 2. Do It respectfully: · In Person/Phone is best for established connections. A text is often too impersonal. · For a first or second date, a polite text is generally acceptable. 3. Use a "It's not you, it's me (or the situation)" Truth: You don't need to list their faults.Focus on your feelings or the lack of a "spark." · Do: "I've really enjoyed getting to know you, but I didn't feel the romantic connection I'm looking for. I think you're a great person and wish you all the best." · Do (if true): "I've had a great time with you, but I've realized I'm not in the right place for a relationship right now." · Don't: "You're too [Negative Trait]." or "I found someone else." 4. Don't Offer False Hope or Friendship: Saying"Let's just be friends" when you don't mean it is cruel. It's okay to say a clean goodbye. The Bottom Line In both cases, procrastination and vagueness are the real enemies. By being clear, timely, and respectful, you are actually showing more care for the other person than by avoiding the conversation. You are giving them the gift of closure, allowing them to move on with their life and focus their energy where it will be valued. The next time you have to do it, take a deep breath and remember: Clarity is kindness. Rip the band-aid off. They'll be better for it in the long run, and so will you.

Divagazioni filosofica Se l'economia é una 'scienza' morale (Adam Smith's thesis) e la morale é soggettiva (relativistic approach), allora esistono tante scuole economiche quanto sono le etiche di questo mondo. Se invece, per dirla á la Kant, la legge morale è oggettiva e universale allora può esistere una sola scuola economica valida e su di essa si può costruire una scienza sociale solida. Oppure ancora si può sostenere che l'economia non sia una scienza morale e a questo punto cos'è allora l'economia? Una scienza deterministica, come la fisica newtoniana? Non pare proprio avendo a che fare con gli uomini, la loro psiche e le loro interazioni (rapporti di forza e di scambio) ancor prima che con la materia fisica e i suoi flussi.
