There has been an increase in the number of submarine sightings in Finnish territorial waters in recent years, often sparking speculation about their origin as Finland has no submarines.

hm i thought i spotted something in the Euro averages but the FTSE MIB breaks it

dang

(it would've been ... mitigating news. not good.)

Regardless, still looks like the Euro stock markets don't want to be down a full 6%. Multiple averages have been bouncing off that.

But who even fucking knows right now, right? Across East Asia it was "massively down at open, then some bargain-hunting in some markets but not all, but mostly a slow glide down the rest of the day."

Everywhere, governments ARRANGE empty housing units by taxing empty units so little that keeping them empty produces money waiting for "lack of housing" to drive housing prices up.

It is a crime. Cutting taxes on speculators emptying homes is an AREANGED crime. Increasing housing costs is the only product. While making people homeless.

I'm not so sure. The space dust we get isn't all one type of meteorite; it's essentially all the different types that are out there, so the composition as a whole tends towards the composition of the solid parts of the solar system. For example, it's easy to find metallic micrometeorites in your rain gutters, and they're not all just iron. Copper, aluminum, etc, etc.

I don't know exactly how much beryllium a Starlink satellite contains. I didn't think it was pure anyways - it would be as part of a beryllium-copper alloy? So the amount of beryllium entering our atmosphere from satellites may or may not equal the amount in space dust. I haven't found a study on this, everything I see said on this subject online seems to be speculation. Speculation is not a great basis for evaluating danger.

"This article explores the puzzling ups and downs of Tesla, going through one the most volatile stock market swings of the recent past, under conditions of financialised capitalism. We adopt a conjunctural approach, highlighting both the macro and micro dynamics shaping the firm’s financial market trajectory. Among these, meticulously maintained narratives, boosted by social media, attracted dedicated followers, while the rise of new retail trading platforms and excitement around Tesla’s index inclusion helped in producing its stock ‘mementum’. This volatility was further supported by an exceptionally large volume of financial derivatives trading, paralleling a public battle between short sellers and the company’s defenders. The resulting stock market boom enabled Tesla to stabilise its finances, whilst its ‘mercurial’ CEO Elon Musk negotiated the largest executive compensation package in US corporate history, turning him into the world’s richest individual. In conclusion, we argue that Tesla serves as an emblematic case of an increasingly tech-driven financialised capitalism, which scholars could use as a window to study future conjunctures."

Speculating on what the next year will bring? How about joining us at our "Urban Speculations" conference from February 4-6 @CDCLeuphana #Leuphana #Lüneburg?

Registrations are open now and participation is free! It'll be a great research community event discussion all things #cities, #technology, companies like #Amazon, and #futures!

There is a possibility to attend via Zoom as well. Check out our #conference website for details: logistical.city/conference/

Black and white drawing of a skyscraper-like building that has typo-tentacles with the conference's name "Urban Speculations: Cities, Technologies, Futures" growinh out of it. It is surrounded by flying drones. On the upper left side, there is a little scene of surveillance cameras surrounded by Dollar-, Euro-, and WiFi-signs. In the middle of the arms is a skyline and on the bottom left a container ship titled "automation" bathing in a sea of letters that resemble an oil pond. Design by myself!
