#Armenia denies Ukrainian claims that #Russia is increasing its military presence in the country to regain influence in the Caucasus amid tensions with #Azerbaijan.
Russia's declining influence in the Caucasus region could highlight its waning geopolitical strength.
The news comes amid a major deterioration in Russian-Azerbaijani relations after a deadly June 27 operation in Russia's Yekaterinburg, where Russian security forces killed two Azerbaijani nationals.
Russiaโs attack on Kremenchuk hit a Ukrainian military enlistment office, the third recruitment center this week.
No casualties have been reported so far, but the attack points to a deliberate campaign to disrupt mobilization efforts amidst Ukraineโs lack of military manpower.
On July 6, Russian forces attacked the city of Kremenchuk in the Poltava region. A local military enlistment office building was hit, according toย the Ukrainian Ground Forces on Telegram.

There are two very important lessons here. 1) Don't trust #Adobe. For real. Adobe has been pulling shit like this for *years* and yet people still continue to use it or go back. Why? Are you masochists? There *are* alternatives. Both open-source and commercial. **Use them.** 2) It's safe to assume that any new software update will probably include features you're not interested in. Whether it be the #Cloud or #AI or AI in the Cloud. I don't know about you but I *religiously* go through every single setting and configuration page of every new software I install (or update) prior to me using it. It's a great way to learn new things about the software you're about to use.
As someone who is forced to use multiple Adobe products at work, I concurr 100%. Adobe are sneaky shitty mcshittersons. And the amount of sneaky shit they sneak into your software is astounding.
The one and so far ONLY thing I have found that any Adobe package still does better than anything else is Acrobat comparing two PDFs.
No idea why my overly religious IT dept. is OK with Adobe crunching our IP in PDF form in their cloud, yet I can't use some foss tool that doesn't leave my PC.
Before I retired from the InfoSec group at the power company I worked at, we were an Adobe shop for decades. We had a lot of critical business processes built-up around Acrobat and other Adobe products. Especially in Supply Chain and Vendor Management.
Then it came down to money. (That and the constant patching.)
Finally the bean counters in IT realized how much money we were throwing away at Adobe and in less than a year we completely switched and re-tooled those business processes to move away.
It wasn't that hard.
Maybe one day your Company's bean counters will see the same light.
Hm, die Georgetown-Website kennt den โPolitologen Thomas Greeneโ nicht, Wikipedia kennt ihn nicht, das gesamte Internet kennt ihn nicht, nur die Fake News-Schleuder kennt den Mann.

OK, so let's ask; @tzimmer_history, we're wondering whether a German rightwing fake news outlet made up (or probably had some chatbot make up) a politicial scientist named Thomas Greene or whether he really exists.
Thanks! To clarify: I knew you're not a political scientist in terms of academic discipline, but I've seen you write detailed commentary on U.S. politics...
Can we talk for a minute about how completely ludicrous a $4T valuation is for a company like NVIDIA or Microsoft? Investors often talk about P/E: the ratio of the share price (P) to the earnings per share (E). Or, if you simplify the equation slightly, the market capitalisation (price per share multiplied by number of shares) divided by the annual profit. This is, roughly, how many years it would take the company to make the amount of money that it is valued at. For NVIDIA and Microsoft, these ratios are, roughly, 50 and 40, respectively.
The simplest model of share ownership is that you get a share of the companyโs profits. In practice, that only applies to companies in the โcash cowโ phase, where they are no longer growing and are just redistributing all excess income to shareholders. This kind of P/E would be ludicrous for such a company. With a P/E of 50, the company would be returning at most 2% of your investment each year, which is the kind of return you get from bonds at much lower risk. The idea for growing companies is that theyโre investing a lot of their profits (and money raised by diluting shares) in growth. Putting money in now lets them become more valuable and that means that youโre happy to not even get the 2% return now because you expect to get a larger return on a larger valuation in the future. If a company has a share price of 100 and, instead of giving you a 2% return, it spends five years investing in growth and turns into a company with a share price of 1,000, then gives you a 1% return, youโll make as much in the fifth year as you would have in the first five years in total if they had just returned the money, then youโll make the same again in the sixth.
So far, so good. But letโs think about another ration: price to maximum-possible-earning-in-shiny-pixie-land. Letโs call it Price to Pixie ratio, P/Px. There are 8B people in the world (roughly). A trillion is a thousand billion, so a 4T market cap means that you have a valuation of $500/person. Thatโs more than the annual disposable income for a large proportion of the population. The median wealth for people is around $8K, a number somewhat skewed by the large number of people with a lot less. These valuations are all assuming a lot of growth, but how many people can actually afford to spend more on NVIDIA or Microsoft products? Of those, how many of those would choose to? These companies are making a lot of money at the moment because of lock in. Microsoft with Win32 and Office / SharePoint, NVIDIA with CUDA. Thatโs very fragile.
I wouldnโt be surprised if P/Px for these companies is only very slightly lower than P/E: if everyone who could afford their products bought them, it wouldnโt move the needle on their earnings more than 50%. For either company to be at a stable P/E, youโd need everyone in the world to be spending $20/year with them. Or the people in rich countries to be spending in excess of $200/year. Can you think of any company, in any market where that would make sense? At the moment, that spending is heavily skewed to other companies burning VC money for both. For Microsoft, itโs other companies who believe that they make more in increased productivity from using their systems than using something else, but between putting up prices for M365 for features no one wants and firing all of the people who build the things customers actually care about, that doesnโt look like a long-term revenue stream. NVIDIAโs revenue comes primarily from selling to companies that sell to companies that burn VC money and make a loss. Again, not sustainable. Which may mean that Px < E for both companies.
And thatโs exactly the situation that leads you to a crash.

@DeWalt โOh, I know. But this sounds just like Ross Perot and the other Losertarians.
Ask yourself:
Are there any Libertarian House or Senate members that strictly have that party affiliation? No, because they wouldnโt be able to get elected in the primaries.
And they sound like absolute loons when they talk.
And even worse, we always wind up with Democrats in charge.

For legal reasons they often include some vague allusion in the terms of service about collecting information.. but they are never very clear on what data exactly they take when and how, so it's left up to interpretation.

Adam Duritz on counting his anxiety in new album : NPR
Duritz: I just felt there was a real callousness in our society towards women โ this real arrogant, we-know-what's-best-for-you thought process returning to our culture in the last decade. I mean, obviously it's always been there, but you thought you were moving in a better direction for many years.
Granted, with the MeToo movement, you got a lot of โ for the first time โ exposing a lot of people who were victimizing women. But at the same time, it also made you realize how prevalent it was. Half of our race, as humans, messed with and abused and taken advantage of and, quite honestly, raped. And then told what to do by the other half. It's attaching a valuelessness to half the population of the world.
I was trying to imagine what it must feel like to be a woman. When power speaks to you as if you don't matter.
