Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus. Data: Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet. Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.
It could almost be a Brechtian parable of the amoral and exploitative character of monopoly capitalism. But it’s a lot worse: it’s extortion, levelled against a courageous nation and people fighting in self-defence against tyranny. What dark times.
‘Mirror Towns’ are a hack that exploit an accident of history to build well-connected New Towns cheaply and quickly. @Ben_A_Hopkinson explains all.

If only there was some zero carbon technology that could reliably provide a base load? Like some fundamental physical force we could use to heat water
1/10 Europe just got a brutal wake-up call about green energy math. When wind & sun disappeared in December, electricity prices shot up 20X. Our current plans for batteries and storage won't solve this for decades. Here's the real numbers 🧵

Civilians helped South Korea parliament members to enter the national assembly... one of them had a yellow ribbon on their bag, a symbol to remember the 2014 Sewol ferry tragedy which happened due to the negligence of previous president Park Geun-hye...
My view on this event: President Yoon’s pure stupidity was unfortunate, but it unintentionally highlighted the resilience of South Korean democracy. The National Assembly stopped the leader’s wrong decision. The system of check and balance worked once again. This was the first..
3D printing has finally broken away from cartesian 3-axis in a way that makes sense. Designed from the ground up, not a rotating bolt-on print head. Unlimited overhangs, offboard part cooling fan via an air compressor, and open source with slicer included 😲
Fun fact; In the outskirts of Portland is a nice little shop in an anonymous industrial park. You walk in to a little foyer with a folding card table and 9 thick, vacuum sealed Mylar bags, each about 1' long and 4" in diameter. They are sitting on top of about 70 pages of…
This is what happens when you actually let developers build housing. In Austin, rent has dropped 15% from its peak and buildings are offering multiple months FREE! 🤯
The Austin, TX rental market is collapsing before our eyes. With the median apartment rent dropping 15% over the last 2+ years. The vacancies have skyrocketed. Rental concessions are everywhere. Rents are now only 9.8% higher than pre-pandemic. Meaning that many Austin…
I was talking with two very wise people, independently, yesterday about how impactful these stories are. We all agree that if we can get one such story per week for a year we will achieve the change our country needs.
When badgers tunneled under my house @NaturalEngland told us it would be illegal to close the tunnel without a license, and they wouldn't grant us a license for six months. When I told them that a structural engineer had said the house might collapse if the tunnel wasn't filled…
All three statements are true at the same time
Chinese ads are becoming irresistible … that’s hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
New: Britain once led the world in nuclear power. In 1965, we had more reactors than the rest of the world combined! But, Britain is set to switch off all but one of our nuclear power stations in four years time. Here's why we must avoid that happening. 🧵

I will not tire of saying it but Ukraine literally had a constitutional law that precluded it from joining any military alliance, i.e., had neutrality enshrined in law. Russia invaded anyway. Make no mistake, the “neutrality” argument is a kremlin talking point
As Olaf Scholz meets NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Berlin today, he opposes a membership perspective for Ukraine. Now a counter proposal has popped up in my discussions with officials in Berlin: Ukraine should take a "neutral" status like Finland had for decades ... 1/
