Efforts to make it less awful.
The Epidemic In Waiting
How it erupted in China.
Freeman
I thought I’d posted this, but we’ve lost a giant of math, physics, philosophy and space. Condolences to Esther and the rest of the family. I just saw her at the space transportation conference a few weeks ago.
From over two decades ago, here’s an interview of him by Stewart Brand.
Lots of comments over at Instapundit.
“Choose-Your-Own-Adventure” Journalism
We are living in a Golden Age.
Dementia Joe
Bambi Versus Godzilla
OK, not really; it’s worse. Ted Cruz excoriates the “wise” Latina, (who is probably the dumbest person to ascend to SCOTUS, at least in modern times).
The Call Of The Wild
I think that the book had been done before, but the new version sounds pretty good. It’s supposed to be a rainy day tomorrow (something that has been far too rare in what is supposed to be the wettest month in southern California), so maybe we’ll go see it. The scenery from the trailers looks like it would be spectacular on a big screen.
The Container Industry
Get ready for a rough ride.
We’ve built an amazing global economy, but it is insufficiently resilient.
Existential Hope
I was introduced to Allison a couple years ago, but only briefly. I really only got to know her a few days ago, at a Foresight event on lunar governance. I hadn’t realized that she was so interested in space.
Anyway, she is a brilliant and very charismatic young woman, as this video demonstrates.
Server Issues
I hope they’re over. We’ve migrated to a new server, on a new OS (from FreeBSD to CentOS, for those who care), and there were I/O and corrupt database issues on the old machine. This should be more modern, with few(er) glitches.
