As Donald Trump formally inaugurated his so-called
"Board of Peace" at the
World Economic Forum in Davos,
Switzerland, on Thursday,
his son-in-law Jared Kushner
presented his vision of
turning the Gaza Strip into
an upscale seaside resort
with gleaming skyscrapers and entirely new cities.
The proposal is said to require an investment of at least $25 billion,

Yesterday, a friend told me a fun linguistic experience: He and his partner (both speaking standard German) spent some time in Switzerland, both kids are born there. Kids went to crèche and kindergarten, they moved back to Germany when the oldest was 7. At home, all 4 spoke standard German. The parents only realized by visiting hours to crèche and kindergarten, that both kids were fluent in Züridütsch

Last night, I was reading a book that contained this passage about Mussolini, and it took me an hour to fully grasp what this meant:
"[his 2-year stay in Switzerland] had initiated Mussolini to a form of revolutionary socialism based not on materialism or orthodox Marxism, but on a cocktail of voluntarists and anti-rational principles derived from Pareto, Le Bon, Nietzsche, and Sorel"

I rarely make electronic shopping lists, so I only discovered today that the Notes app has a handy feature that converts kilograms into tons. Even when using the comma as decimal separator! It doesn’t recognize “dl” (customary in Switzerland), though, and come to think of it, it has none of the features demoed by Doug Engelbart in 1968.

SNF (Switzerland) restrictions proposed: only 1 concurrent research grant per PI (plus maybe one coop), only 1 proposal per year.
🔥 Hot take (since I'm not at all operating like this currently): I actually think this might be a good idea? It would curb some of the biggest "research mills", where one PI has a huge pyramid scheme underneath them, and might encourage more careful grant proposals, slower science. And might even put more emphasis back into the basic research funding (instead of the grant lotteries)?
(Maybe naive, I know, and I have no idea how this would be implemented)
