Talking Points Memo on why the Iran war will never end.

Of course, they're morons. They're also corrupt. But as much as I appreciate the gotcha it's actually misplaced. Effective war diplomacy can get you the best and most creative agreement that the circumstances warrant. But that last part is key. Kickass diplomacy is never going to get the side that won the conflict to agree to a deal in which they lost. But that is essentially what's being asked of the diplomacy here.

More than a year ago I predicted that AI would create a huge new wave of programmers. Has it? Yes. But an unwelcome phenomenon came along with it: junior programmers jobs collapsed. What's the fix? https://seldo.com/posts/ai-has-torched-the-market-for-junior-programmers/
