“You are a little bit worried by Solyndra? Very small companies, why are you worried?” Li Junfeng, a key architect of China’s wind and solar policies, said in a 2017 interview. Beijing had a bigger appetite for taking risks, which meant sometimes failing, but also sometimes reaping bigger payoffs. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/30/climate/china-clean-energy-power.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

No one reads the bills! But maybe w ai they will… “The clause’s origins are mysterious. It first appeared in an amendment from the Senate Finance Committee. Multiple Republican committee members have said they do not know how it got in, although the $1.1bn of revenue it is predicted to generate may have been needed to comply with Senate rules on skirting the filibuster.”

“Poverty brought him from the backwoods, preaching God’s word in the street and from flatbed trucks. In an ancient Plymouth he criss-crossed the South in the 1950s, making perhaps $30 a week, finding beds where he could. He anointed the sick with oil. If, after many devoted years, he had become a billionaire, with two Lincoln Town Cars, a private jet, an estate of 200 acres and a plantation-style house of 9,000 square feet; if he wore a gold Rolex encrusted with diamonds and had, in his master bedroom, a Jacuzzi with solid gold taps in the shape of swans, this was God’s reward for his faithfulness.”

An under appreciated aspect of the singularity and coming age of robots is that soon two ton couches — plush beyond belief and abundantly layered with cushions — will finally be within our seats

Sometimes when I spend too much time on sites like this I forget that most people don’t spend so much time and energy on esoteric intellectual topics. Growing up I was a bit awkward so was reminded of that though now can navigate the world much better so there’s much less friction in that regard. Sometimes though I try to talk about web3 is h or protocols or just zany future stuff with certain friends and it goes over like a lead solar dirigible that where the sun went out in the future . Ha !

International folks: is it typical to have pre-university history taught as a combination of <your country> and <world> history? In the US it was pretty much US history and then world history as the default classes to take before college.
