What we know about the plans, and what we don’t.
Presumably, we’ll know more tomorrow.

It’s Not Just Big Sugar
A lot of other food producers profited from the demonization of fat. This is the biggest health disaster in history, I think.
[Update a while later]
There is no reason to even consider eating reduced-fat cheese. Same with all dairy, including milk. Low-fat milk is a nutritional abomination.
It’s almost impossible to find whole-milk mozarella, at least shredded. Fage won’t produce a whole-milk Greek yogurt; best you can do is two percent. And Costco only sells fat-free. Fortunately, Trader Joe’s has started selling its own brand, in whole-milk, at a lower price, so that’s our new yogurt.
Hitting Back Twice As Hard
A climate skeptic has filed a civil RICO lawsuit against a bunch of Leftist NGOs. Discovery will be very interesting, if it’s not dismissed.
SpaceX Update
This is an interesting announcement, in the context of Elon’s Mars speech next week in Guadalajara:
At this stage of the investigation, preliminary review of the data and debris suggests that a large breach in the cryogenic helium system of the second stage liquid oxygen tank took place. All plausible causes are being tracked in an extensive fault tree and carefully investigated. Through the fault tree and data review process, we have exonerated any connection with last year’s CRS-7 mishap.
Makes sense, but still doesn’t sound like they’ve gotten to the root cause.
Natural Selection
Just one more reason to not take climate hysteria seriously.
Turning The Tables On Senator Warren
This is great. She just drips with hypocritical sanctimony.
Hacker-Proof Code
…through formal software verification. This seems like sort of a big deal. Particularly in the era of the Internet of Things and self-driving cars. Of course, the weakest link in security will remain the flawed unit between the seat and the keyboard.
The New Space Race
An interesting article, from my local paper, about the renaissance of aerospace in southern California in general and the South Bay in particular. Not sure Interorbital should be included in the list, though.
Microsoft’s Cancer Cure
Derek Lowe isn’t impressed.
@Rand_Simberg @Dereklowe @Eaterofsun Maybe they could just install Windows 10 into the tumors?

Tomorrow’s Mars Hearing
If I were Chris Carberry, I’d be outraged at this, instead of promoting it. None of those people or companies are going to get anyone to Mars. But they’ll spend billions pretending they will.
