A large percentage of people’s problems in work, love and life are due to some combination of vagueness and passivity. You don’t know what you want to spend your time on; you don’t know what kind of person you really get along with; you don’t know what kind of clothing looks good to you; you don’t know what you value in a city; you don’t know how...

I feel this, but at the same time see myself slipping it into all the time.
And let’s see what happens over the next decade as Instagram builds out its commerce operation. Perhaps we’ll all be stores someday. (Whatever that means.)

Train yourself to love the feeling of constantly learning and pushing your boundaries. Feeling comfortable is the system blinking orange , and it should make you uneasy.

In this instance, it’ll involve a mix of ingenuity around supply chains (like using blockchain to improve traceability) and materials science (like using alternatives such as niobium from Canada or Brazil).

Supply chain is going to be everything when it comes to renewables. How do we make it sustainable and ethical to make energy sustainable?

Benedict Evans • Benedict's Newsletter: No. 547
Translation continues to be an AI bright spot. Truly exciting, though a bit troubling for someone who loves learning languages. Will it be worth it in 5 years?

Oh this is it. This is the way to brand this. Artisanal.
In large, populous nations, the complete reliance on these renewables would require what we are still missing: either mass-scale, long-term (days to weeks) electricity storage that would back up intermittent electricity generation, or extensive grids of high-voltage lines to transmit electricity across time zones and from sunny and windy regions to

Is storage or transmission harder? I suspect transmission…
And while that conflict doesn’t make headlines, it’s displaced around 7.3 million people, making it one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises . It’s also spiked recently after a ceasefire with the ‘M23’ rebels collapsed.

The sheer human toll of mining in the DRC is wildly underreported.
I am a big believer that travel doesn’t relieve your problems, it throws them into relief. You see your life in a new light and new shadows. The desert light can be good for this.
Austin Kleon • Land of Enchantment
I feel the same way about the desert. I need to go at least once a year.
