Jaylen Brown traded to Philadelphia. Good move for him, he and Embiid will be a serious force. Lousy move for Celtics and Boston.

The San Diego incident blew up 7000 fireworks in 30 seconds (instead of 17 minutes), or 233 per second. If the DC show uses 851k in a half hour, that will be 472 per second. So yes, they'll be intentionally repeating the San Diego incident, but worse.

Tour de France starts July 4 in Barcelona, works its way up to Bordeaux then across to the Alps. Hoping temps moderate and riders can stay safe.

Thought provoking piece from Dean today. "Wealth" is not just billionaires with expensive toys and hobbies. For most Americans, "wealth" is the security to meet basic needs in an uncertain future. It doesn't have to be this way, society can do a better job of meeting those needs directly.

Exactly. You don't need to "build political constituency" to do things that already have popular support. Just do it. The marginal Dem in the next majority Congress should be made to feel very vulnerable, not omnipotent.

It's time to start questioning the depreciation schedules of the gas power plants on the drawing boards for data center power. If the turbines can't be installed until 2030, and are economically nonviable by 2035, they'll need to be depreciated faster than the computing hardware.

One issue with machine learning is that algorithms can identify patterns, but not mechanisms. It’s statistical pattern matching, which can be powerful in many applications, but ultimately identifies correlation, not causation.

An inspiring ecumenical Easter message from our President this year.

In a few weeks we'll be asked to "Support our troops" by supporting leadership, sending more money, more arms, more troops, and not dissenting even if we disagree about the war. The best way to support the troops is to stop making war.

Before Haber Bosch we had wars over guano, the primary source of nitrogen for fertilizer

We were using 6kw of this power to charge our car at the time. Or so I choose to believe: we get 100% renewable from somewhere through the grid.

Nice succinct summary.

Lead exposure from gasoline has been linked to violent crime in the 1990s, and also to various mental disorders. I'm not sure if anyone's formally studied the effect on American politics.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Perfect analogy.

I cannot stress enough that you should not do this.

TSMC is the sole manufacturer of essential chips within every computer, cellphone, television, automobile, satellite, and data center in the world. Our modern world depends on Taiwan.

Don't use phone app technology when a web site will do, without introducing a point of control. This is why we have HTML5. This decision may have more serious repercussions to Apple than they realize.

If your business had just closed a $150b funding round, would you be bragging about hiring hundreds of new workers? ICE is despised, demoralized, and feeling the pressure.

NASA instituted "dual anonymous peer review" (DAPR) for Hubble space telescope proposals. The acceptance rate for proposals from male-led and female-led teams is now equal, where females used to be at a 2X disadvantage.
