Over the past couple of days I had the pleasure of chatting with a number of sharp undergrads who've applied to work on my project next year as part of the university's research opportunity program. It's been a real pleasure working with the group of four others I already have this academic year (their projects are really coming together!). I'm already looking forward to next year.
Why do some Americans seem to prefer "upwards of" or even "north/south of ...", when talking about numbers/amounts?
To me, a non-native speaker, a number/amount can be greater/more, or smaller/less than another number/amount. I can probably guess that 11 is "upward" of 10, but that really depends on what your visual picture is of the list of numbers. In a text file, e.g., line 11 is clearly downward of line 10? I'm guessing that's my overthinkin…

«Regulierung als Chance — Warum wir Monopole brechen statt Spatenstiche feiern sollten:

Zu viele glauben dass Monopole was gutes tun und auf keinen Fall sie selber ausnutzt. Dezentralisierung unter Regeln ist der eigentliche Fortschritt.

The Trump administration has spent the better part of a year quietly negotiating agreements with poorer nations
as it seeks to scale back and reimagine U.S. foreign assistance for efforts like HIV and tuberculosis prevention through a new “America First” global health strategy.
To date, 28 deals have been negotiated with foreign governments, mostly throughout Africa.
But in a break with precedent, the administration has refused to disclose their full terms publicly.
