Polish gov't just announced the new minimum wage for 2025. It will be 30,50 PLN per hour. At the current exchange rate that's 7.90 USD - for the first time, higher than the US federal minimum wage of 7.25 USD. At 2.9%, Poland's unemployment rate remains second lowest in the UE.

Today is a good day. I received not one but two invitations to join editorial boards of academic journals🤡They're exactly what you would expect: pay-to-publish and AI-generated articles. What's shocking is that there is actually a market for such parallel "science".

Automation is increasingly widespread in many areas in China, but this is a first for me: my neighborhood now has a “smart” pet washing machine 😂 Can’t wait to see it in action soon.
