In February, #Marc #Andreessen described the #Chatham #House group chats to the podcaster #Lex #Fridman as “the equivalent of [Soviet era] #samizdat”
“The combination of encryption and disappearing messages really unleashed it,” he said. The chats, he wrote recently, helped produce our national “vibe shift.”
They have rarely been discussed in public, though you can catch the occasional mention in, for instance, a podcast debate between #Mark #Cuban and the Republican entrepreneur #Vivek #Ramaswamy, which started in a chat.

But they are made visible through a group consensus on social media.
Their effects have ranged from the mainstreaming of the monarchist pundit #Curtis #Yarvin to a particularly focused and developed dislike of the former Washington Post writer #Taylor #Lorenz.

They succeeded at avoiding leaks (until, to a modest extent, this article) in part because of Signal’s and WhatsApp’s #disappearing #message features,
and in part because the groups had formed out of a mix of fear and disdain for journalists they believed were “out to get us,” as one member put it.
“People during 2020 felt that there was a monoculture on social media, and if they didn’t agree with something, group chats became a safe space to debate that, share that, build consensus, feel that you’re not alone,”
said #Erik #Torenberg, an entrepreneur who was the first employee of the tech community hub Product Hunt.
As #Krishnan was setting up a set of tech group WhatsApp chats at a16z, #Torenberg independently founded a group of tech chats on WhatsApp and some more political Signal chats.

“They’re having all the private conversations because they weren’t allowed to have the public conversations,” Andreessen told Torenberg on a recent podcast,
after claiming in the name of secrecy that he’d never heard of such groups.
“If it wasn’t for the censorship all of these conversations would have happened in public, which would have been much better.”
Their creations took off:
“It might not seem like it, because of all the sh*t that people still post on X, but the internet has fragmented,”
the Substack author #Noah #Smith wrote after my inquiries for this story spilled into public Saturday.
“Group chats are now where everything important and interesting happens.”

Ich selber habe mit Kirche nichts mehr am Hut, aber sie hat doch immer noch mehr Einfluss, als es einem lieb sein kann.

Judge demands ‘some kind of evidence’ from Trump’s EPA to halt climate grants

Federal judge Tanya Chutkan issues restraining order pending new filings over billions in axed research grants

A federal judge considering the Trump administration’s abrupt cancellation of climate research grants worth billions of dollars
told government lawyers they had to produce
“some kind of evidence” of wrongdoing to back up such drastic actions.

Climate United, which coordinates investment in clean energy projects,
sued to seek access to $7bn that was frozen before it was cancelled on Tuesday night by #Lee #Zeldin,
the New York Republican congressman turned administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

In US district court in Washington on Wednesday, Judge #Tanya #Chutkan asked lawyers for the EPA:
“Can you proffer any evidence that [the grant] was illegal,
or evidence of abuse or fraud or bribery
– that any of that was improperly or unlawfully done, other than the fact that Mr Zeldin doesn’t like it?”

#Marc #Sacks, a government lawyer, said:
“The determination is based on the information contained in the termination letter.”
Chutkan said:
“That’s pretty circular,”
then asked if Climate United had violated federal regulations.

Sacks said:
“I think the agency cited both of those regulations within their termination letter.”
Chutkan said:
“I can cite cases all day long, but you have to have some kind of evidence or proffer to back it up.”
She also said:
“You can’t even tell me what the evidence of malfeasance is.”

There is plentiful evidence that Zeldin is implementing an assault on attempts to tackle the climate crisis.
The EPA issued a slew of rollbacks of rules to combat pollution on Wednesday.

Zeldin said he was “driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age”.
Climate groups reacted with horror.
#Jason #Rylander, legal director at the Center for Biological Diversity’s Climate Law Institute, told the Guardian:
“Come hell or high water, raging fires and deadly heatwaves, Trump and his cronies are bent on putting polluter profits ahead of people’s lives.
This move won’t stand up in court. We’re going to fight it every step of the way.”

Climate United is not the only group to have sued over access to grants.
In New York, the Coalition for Green Capital has sued over the cancellation of a $5bn grant,
an act it called “patently and plainly unlawful on its face”
and “arbitrary and pretextual”.
In Washington, lawyers for Climate United argued that the EPA had not followed the law,
meaning Chutkan could rule on the matter.
Lawyers for the government said it was a contract dispute, so she could not.
Chutkan said:
“The government didn’t decide who it wanted to contract with.
A new administration came in, didn’t like the contract any more.
That’s what new administrations do.
But there are procedures that have to be followed.
And it doesn’t appear, at least on the record before me, that those procedures have been followed.”

The hearing ended without Chutkan issuing a ruling or temporary restraining order,
but asking both sides to make
👉new filings by Monday evening:
Climate United to amend its lawsuit
and the government to provide information about alleged wrongdoing.
“I don’t have the credible evidence that’s required,” Chutkan said.

2021:
Five years after mocking India's colonial past, #Marc #Andreesen, one of Silicon Valley’s foremost venture capitalists and a member of Facebook’s board, now wants to make money off India’s fancy for cryptos.

Andreesen’s venture, #a16z [founded in 2009 by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz], along with Coinbase Ventures, has invested $260 million in Series C round of CoinSwitch Kuber, the four-year-old Indian start-up which is an aggregator of crypto exchanges.

Existing investors Paradigm, Ribbit Capital, Sequoia Capital and Tiger Global have also participated in the round.

Following the massive fund infusion, CoinSwitch has become the country’s second crypto Unicorn, valued at $1.9 billion, after CoinDCX hit $1.1 billion after a $90 million Series C round in August.

I've been fooling around with a #Python script for converting #MARC bibliographic records to #Markdown for use with a static website generator. Probably only has an audience of one (me), but it's not complicated and it solves an interesting problem for private #librarians: how can we get our collections out there when LibraryThing isn't enough but a full OPAC is too much?

Attendees, with white-and-red gift bags and lanyards, knew to be closelipped when approached by hotel interlopers
or by the Times reporter, who was not invited to the closed-press festivities.

But a copy of the agenda listed remarks by several tech billionaires, including the Anduril co-founder #Palmer #Luckey and the venture capitalist #Marc #Andreessen, who spoke about his support for deregulating technology
and the mixed reaction in Silicon Valley to his endorsement of Mr. Trump, according to attendees.

There were tech up-and-comers, too:
Donald Trump #Jr. announced at the welcome dinner that he was entering venture capital.

And days before the president-elect chose Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. for health and human services secretary,
Mr. Kennedy spoke extensively about his public-health work to a standing ovation.

Ms. #Wiles also led a session on “2024 Election Analysis,” where she gave a preview of Mr. Trump’s first days as president.

“It’s the domestic ‘Davos in the desert,’” said the Rockbridge backer #Omeed #Malik, referring to the annual business conference in Riyadh, and Donald Trump Jr.’s new business partner.

➡️Rockbridge began with more humility.

Back in 2019, Mr. #Vance, then best known as the author of “Hilbilly Elegy,” and a conservative media figure named #Chris #Buskirk began informally hosting a series of small dinners
that would eventually become called Rockbridge.

The group drew early support from the venture capitalist #Peter #Thiel and eventually caught the attention of Donald J. Trump, who spoke at a few meetings.

Once in the fall and once in the spring, Rockbridge began to gather at places like the Four Seasons in Palm Beach, Fla.,
or the Ritz-Carlton in Dallas for three days of political panels and business networking.

Speakers included people like #Tucker #Carlson; the Thiel protégé #Blake #Masters; the casino mogul #Steve #Wynn; the investor #David #Sacks; and #Woody #Johnson, the billionaire owner of the New York Jets.

Not all attendees have politics at the top of their mind.

Some are primarily interested in business, seeing Rockbridge as a conservative-tinged version of the elite Sun Valley conference.
