#Milei is dependent on #shale #oil from #VacaMuerta for his economic reforms to work just like Thatcher was dependent on #NorthSea oil. But the Vaca Muerta may not deliver in the way that did the North Sea... #Argentina www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Ah, so that's what they mean by "work-life balance". Seems to work out well.

This is a fun and insightful read on the road from #physics to #finance, and possibly a timely nudge for my youngest who hopes to begin study physics at university next year. #quants @emanuelderman.bsky.social

Best thing with being an academic? Sufficient flexibility in terms of work-life-balance and the intellectual inducement to read a lot of books. #literature

On the disparate effects of #Shutdown2025 on the federal workforce across departments and agencies: the Environmental Protection Agency will furlough nearly 90% of employees, Homeland Security a mere 5%.

This isn’t a new take, but what’s really dumbed the world down to a nearly unfathomable degree is social media. In the past the purveyors of loony bin conspiracies had to be able to pen a pamphlet, article or even self-published book. Now they just need to blather into a webcam.

It is also not “hamstrung” by what a democratic electorate wants for itself. If the energy transition can only be achieved by removing markets and choice there’s a fundamental failure in making the case for it.

BP's Brazil oil discovery signals receding fears of stranded assets
