"How many listens?
Our database dumps have become too big for us to process.
We went from 0 to 1 billion listens in 7 years – then to 2.5 billion in the next one and a half years."

Spanish hotel chains. A Canadian mining firm. European shipping giants. Visa and Mastercard.
Scores of foreign companies have been driven out of Cuba this summer over fear of being hit with potent, new secondary sanctions.
Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, told Axios last month there are “no escape valves” from his unprecedented pressure campaign against the island.
But not everybody is losing out.

Trump and Rubio allies are vying for control of Cuba’s assets if regime falls
Washington and Florida insiders are exploring lucrative deals for a post-communist Cuba crushed by ever-increasing US sanctions

I did an annoying thing that I'd been putting off (and it was just as annoying as I'd predicted). My reward is a growing list of further annoying things that I have to do (next up: review legal DOE stuff. sigh).
Being an adult is awesome.

Gibt es Zugvögel, die sich Mitte Juli schon sammeln? Und Flugmanöver in großen Gruppen abhalten? Grob geschätzt mehrere hundert Tiere. Seit gestern, Vorpommern auf der Südseite des Stettiner Haff, Grenzland zu Polen. Ich bin nicht sehr vogelbewandert und kann deshalb nicht erkennen, welche Vögel das sind. Schwalben sind es glaube ich keine, die würde ich immerhin am typischen Schwalbenschwanz erkennen.

Wie unspektakulär (bzw. durch den II. WK zerstört) viele (nord-)deutsche Kleinstädte sind, wird mir direkt hinter der Grenze bewusst.
Heute bin ich zufällig und aus der Not heraus in zwei unbekannte französische Städtchen gestolpert und war überwältigt. Sowohl Colmar als auch Obernai haben eine unglaublich tolle Altstadt, Colmar hat auch ein Viertel; das sich Klein-Venedig nennt.
Aber auch der Schweizer Ort Aarberg, den ich mit null Erwartungen aufgesucht habe, war sehr, sehr sch…

From the Green Party of Vancouver
New polling has just confirmed what we've been feeling on the doors: Pete Fry is tied for second place among decided voters in the race to become Vancouver's next mayor, with the highest favourability rating of any mayoral candidate at 45%.
And here's the opportunity: 26% of likely voters are still undecided.
This race is wide open.
The same poll found that the Vancouver Greens have the highest favourability of any municip…

Far out in the Pacific Ocean, Ecuadorean fishermen have been attacked by unidentified “gringos” using drones, survivors say,
spurring a mystery over whether the American military, the armed forces of another country or private military contractors were behind the strikes.
One fishing boat has been lost at sea since January, the U.N. says, with eight people still missing and presumed dead.
The survivors of two other vessels said they came under attack in March by English-spe…

Ecuadorean Fishing Boats Hit by Mystery Attackers
Ecuadorean crews plying the waters of the Pacific have been targeted by a mysterious outfit equipped with drones. Some sailors appear to have lost their lives.

At an Arkansas school, a boy was hit by the school’s founder and attacked by classmates in a group session the founder led, prompting a complaint and her arrest.
State Money Still Flows: Despite a jail term for the school’s founder, "The Delta Institute for the Developing Brain" continues to operate and Arkansas still sends it public funds.
Unregulated and Growing: BY DESIGN, private schools get little oversight in Arkansas even as new opportunities to receive state m…

This Private School Had Students Scrub Floors and Attack a Fellow Classmate. The State Still Funds It.
One of the few requirements for Arkansas private schools is that they have an American flag and a flagpole. But millions in state funds go to the largely unmonitored schools while complaints about safety and fraud have gone unanswered, parents say.

No one expects China to curb its expansionist activities anytime soon.
And there are growing doubts among Asian nations over what the United States would be willing to do to deter China,
given the enormous distraction and resource drain of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.
The United States is running low on critical weapons, including air defense interceptors.
Iran’s missile and drone attacks have forced U.S. troops to leave bases in the Middle East and destroyed th…

As China Pushes to Expand in Asia, Trump Focuses on Iran
Asian allies are beginning to wonder whether the United States would or could defend them in a war.
