We probably all knew about China’s advances in this area, but I - for one - had not realised that the share coming from the US is no longer any greater than what’s produced in Europe (even excluding U.K.)

We have a 3-year-old goldendoodle, Murphy, and we absolutely love him. However, there are a lot of people who hate doodles. A group of goldendoodle breeders got together to write a new breed standard under a new moniker—the Bearded Retriever. wsj.com/articles/doodl…

Picard Season 3 is fun! But, wow, they have turned the nostalgia up to 11. I expect a future episode will include Riker playing the trombone.

@DKThomp Derek, on the pod you reference a study that indicates the colleges that a student applies to is far more predictive of income than the college the student attended. Can you share the source?

Russia’s occupation of Ukraine is a mix of incompetence and horrific cruelty. I’m grateful for @anneapplebaum’s reporting to keep the urgency of supporting Ukraine front-of-mind. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I found dozens of old MiniDV tapes that capture the first few years of our kid’s life that I had completely forgotten about. I’m using a series of decreasingly obsolete cable standards to transfer: Firewire 400 to 800 Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt 2 Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3

Important @nytimes story about the propane industry’s efforts to undermine the push to “electrify everything”. “The movement to electrify everything is rapidly gaining momentum, and poses a substantial threat to the sustainability of our industry.” nytimes.com/2023/01/11/cli…

Important story from @HirokoTabuchi in the NY Times this morning. A propane trade group is running a multi-million dollar ad campaign to convince people heat pumps are bad and fossil fuels are good. They are paying HGTV influencers who aren't disclosing their funding.

@SahilBloom The biggest factor improving my sleep was eliminating the post-lunch coffee. It was a tough adjustment, but now I don’t miss it. Curious if you use any devices to measure your sleep. Whoop? Oura?

Last night I captured an incredibly difficult shot: ISS transiting the moon, while gently kissing Tycho crater as it flies by at 5 miles per second. That crater is 53 miles wide, so while the station almost looks like it's orbiting the moon it's actually 1000x closer to us.
