This AlphaFold news is such an amazing and beautiful gift for humanity. It will transform health and the nascent synbio industry in our lifetime. What an achievement by the brilliant folks @deepmind. nature.com/articles/d4158…


The HVDC Australia-Asean Power Link (AAPL) is a cool project because it can be thought of as a canary for superconducting 24 hour solar around the globe. One day solar energy will be shifted from Portugal to Shanghai & Moscow then across the Bering Strait to Alaska & New York.


Blue state governors should open up in-person polling right away to head off the prospect of a civil war. Crazy times.

It was 100º F, 70 miles north of the Arctic Circle today. We live now on a far different planet than we did 50 years ago. And we're never going back again.

This is great advice for learning so many new things. I once learned 漢字 but I should have focused on 話し言葉 and 平仮名.

If you're a gardening newbie, do not, under any circumstances, listen to experts. They will tell you what experts can grow. You need a crap gardener to tell you what anyone can grow. I'm here for you. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food…
