Sounds like a super generic cover of the song... not sure why I expected anything else.

Australia is one of the world's biggest coal exporters.

I'd want smart trading. When it's dirt huts they value seeds over diamonds. When it's a castle diamonds are worth far less than maps from far away.

So much of famously walkable Boston has very narrow sidewalks, often with trees narrowing down the sidewalk even more.

And I think we're all just used to it, because despite that Boston is still one of the, if not the most walkable bigish cities in the US.

But my point is, it would be great to have a wider sidewalks, although I very much doubt we'll ever see the trees planted in the street. And it would be very odd to get that before we get physical barriers between traffic and bicyclists.

It might be cheaper to live on a boat.

It wouldn't be necessary if the state did its job of not tolerating monopolies.

But sadly the local governments were heavily lobbied to create monopolies.

Tell me expensive, without saying expensive.

Not quite as accurate but faster. AlphaFold more accurate but slower.

All good news in my opinion. Competition drives progress!

Protein folding and CRISPR are both absolutely revolutionary technologies, which are going to radically change the world.

>To create each vaccine, Moderna takes a sample of a patient’s tumor.

It's going to be hellishly expensive.

Commercial vs a lot of the private landlords is a big difference.

I remember going to the beach as a small kid and head down playing in the sand, and just burning my back to lobster red, and doing it the same over and over again.

So, yeah, very interested in this vaccine.

Great news. Just the idea we might revert existing tumors to healthy cells, with one injection, is crazy to ponder.

Neat, no reason machines vision should have the same limitations as human vision.

I would agree and would conservatively guess 7 to 12 years until we see CRISPR therapies commonly on the market.

I wish I knew enough rocket science to understand if space mining is likely to happen or pure hype.

I wish we at least had a rocket scientist with enough economic knowledge who could explain it well enough in a blog or something.

To my rocket science ignorant brain, it seems like fully automated space mining, with as affordable as Space X (10 times cheaper than NASA) has made launches. Space mining may well work given how much gold, platinum, iridium and other expensive metals are supposed to be in asteroids.

The key being it seems like, I have no actually idea if it can be done profitably.

From the article:

>“In today’s economics and in the economics of the near future, the next few years, it makes no sense to go after precious metals in asteroids. And the reason is the cost of getting to and from the asteroids is so high that it vastly outstrips the value of anything that you’d harness from the asteroids,” Sercel says.

That seems like a hard No.
