Ukraine Is Now a Proxy War for Asian Powers - Foreign Policy (No paywall)
 Doubts over sustained U.S. support for Ukraine long predated Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, and they have raised concerns over Kyiv’s ability to sustain its defense against Moscow’s war. These concerns have overshadowed another important dynamic in an already complicated conflict: the increasing involvement of East Asian powers in a European war. Besides the recent arrival of at least 10,000 North Korean soldiers on the Russian side, the evolving roles of China, Japan, and South Korea raise the question of whether a widening proxy war is being fought in Ukraine. By all indications, the answer is yes: The war is setting a new precedent for Indo-Pacific nations to compete for their interests on the global stage.
A proxy war is when two countries fight each other indirectly—by supporting warring participants in a third country. Classic examples from the Cold War era include the Congo crisis in the 1960s and the Angola crisis in the 1970s, when the Soviet Union and United States each backed warring factions in a civil war with money, weapons, and sometimes troops from yet other countries but never got directly involved in combat themselves.

WorkWorkWhy Do We Talk This Way? - The New Yorker (No paywall)Just before the election, I went to see a play. It was staged for a small group, was about ninety minutes long, and was followed by a Q. & A.

WorkWhat will Donald Trump do about legal immigration? - The Economist (No paywall)IN THE FINAL weeks of his campaign, speaking to a town hall hosted by Univision, a Spanish-language television network, Donald Trump made a point he doesnt make very often.

WorkWorkReframe the Value Proposition of Diversity - Harvard Business Review (No paywall)In my work with engineers, Ive seen firsthand the quest for better signal-to-noise ratios. In non-engineering terms, signal is the thing we want, and noise is everything else. Signal is the input what were trying to do or communicate whereas noise is the undesired and unintended outcome. If an idea or word is noisy, that means people often lack clarity on what it actually is because the original signal has degraded by the time it reaches the masses. For example, the term AI is loaded with noise right now. If you ask 10 people what AI means, theyre going to give 10 very different answers based on their personal situation, industry, political ideology, and more.
