> 3. Carbon capture

Algae capturing carbon and falling to the bottom of the ocean seems so obvious and so easy and scalable!

Was twitter shutting down BLM or Antifa accounts during their riots this summer?

Are there any real checks on government spending?

I think it is more a supply and demand issue. There are less people that can buy shares pre-IPO. If the IPO was accessible to everyone the price would be the market price.

Dont the bankers go through a discovery process where they find buyers pre-IPO? Its not like a blind guess

Although Im sure the improvement isnt that significant per trade, is it worth trying to game this to lower my toxicity, i.e. use odd lots, break up my trade etc?

Im curious if there have been any blind studies that show this. I think a lot of what is conventional wisdom when it comes to taste in the wine industry is often not reproducible in the lab: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/jun/23/wine-ta...

Sounds like a business opportunity for Security experts to consult for journalists.

She says talking down to an actual expert in ML who gave an opinion on ML

Yeah this law is easily enforced because on/off ramps to the crypto ecosystem are regulated. If Coinbase and et al stops accepting transfers from private wallets youre coins are fucked

That doesnt sound like an $89 million loss just unexpected liquidations in loan contracts governing that amount of money

Its a social task they already failed with the segwit fiasco. PoS would probably be worse

Does this mean the vaccine wont be given to people with psoriasis?

Not to mention you have to tell all of your friends aand family that you were in contact with that you may have given them covid. Thats been a huge anxiety trigger for my friends that have gone through it. Can you imagine the guilt if someone you gave it to dies from it?

> There are numerous companies which specialize in -80C transport and shipping. These containers can be used as temporary (3-7 day) storage at destinations where they do not have infrastructure.

But what kind of capacity can they handle? I imagine the scale of a Covid vaccine rollout would overhelm prior existing infrastructure

Im curious if this will have chilling effects on investment in China.

How do you know he didnt? We are getting way to comfortable with censorship and selective enforcement of community standards by a small group of people in Silicon Valley.

I dont know if it is funny or sad to see that whenever the US passes an environmental or labor regulation there is no net reduction in bad behavior, the bad behavior just gets moved to a different country and we burn a little more oil to move it there

Governments have a history of bailing out the financial system. Lenders take that into account and will take on riskier loans since they effectively have a put on them.

This is the chilling effect of our close economic ties to oppressive regimes. I dont know if we can expect Apple to stand up to China. I think our government needs to do more to set the parameters of our economic interactions with them.

Just posting a link to the story since I didnt see it elsewhere in this thread: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/article-on-joe-and-hunter-b...

CEFC was supposed to send $5mill to Tony and Hunter's company and 5mil to Hunter Biden as a loan. They did indeed never send the money to the company but we know from the senate report that CEFC did indeed send 5 million directly to Hunter. And official documents showing no role for joe biden is expected as this looks really bad for him. We know from Hunter Biden's email that his share was being held by his family members. Again Hunter Biden wrote that not Tony.

Now nothing, youre entitled to your opinion. Cheers!

But from your comment above, can you please let me know why the WSJ says there is no connection between Hunter's company and Joe Biden despite Hunter's texts discussing Joe's involvement?

Tucker Carlson isnt the source, Tony Babulinski is the source. Im not a regular Fox viewer but I think you should watch the interview, Tony comes off as very credible. An interesting feature of this story is that Tony Babulinski's claims are corroborated by Hunter Biden's own words. That seems pretty definitive to me.

I cant read passed the first paragraph of that article because of the paywall, Im curious how they can possibly say that there is no link when we have so much first hand evidence of a link. Can you please let me know? Imho the only room for judgement is whether or not you find the link unethical or significant but to deny it exists seems disingenuous to me.

Did you watch the Tony Babulinksi interview with Tucker Carlson? It shows that Joe Biden had an ownership stake in and was directly involved with his son's company that received a 5-10 million forgivable loan from a top member of the Chinese Communist party. This directly contradicts claims Joe Biden has made throughout his campaign and at the last debate.

The emails have literally been verified by people on the emails and further their authenticity has never been denied by the Biden campaign. To claim that they are fake or disinformation at this point is either an act of extreme ignorance or duplicitous intent.

Just pick hedge funds who have performed in the past run by a bunch of people with top business degrees. Its a lot easier than picking a stock

It's known as "the Fed put". Whenever rich people have taken on too much risk the fed has been printing money to keep asset prices high so no one gets hurt. Im sure you know that the Fed is even directly buying corporate bonds now. This is paid for by main street through the inflation tax.

After 2008 the Fed and various gov agencies are constantly on the hunt for "systemic risks" to the economy. They only really care if the failure of one section of the economy could spill over into others. Commercial real estate definitely could pose a systemic threat. I remember they were looking into bitcoin briefly at the height of the bubble but something like that is way to small of a market to rise to the level systemic risk and warrant fed attention

We'll probably view Pakistan as less of a strategic ally the further we get from the Iraq Wars temporally
