on: All businesses will eventually turn into subscriptions
Subscription will be enabled in all goods because all of them have a software layer today. Like the OS on the phone is updated and adds features to existing hardware the same is possible with all consumer goods. The same is happening with cars and I suppose will happen with your TV and other devices as well. It is a fiscal imperative.

on: Record number of environmental activists murdered
Every electronic good you buy contributes to these murders. The raw material sourced in these places are used for manufacture of these products and environmental activism threatens their ability to continue to exploit nature and profit from it.

on: SpaceX cleared for historic civilian launch next week
He had to wave his, had he not. Having said that, anybody got data on the pollution footprint of spaceflight. Since we are rapidly making the planet unlivable. Now the people in Louisiana want to move north unable to bear the heat.

on: More wind energy was installed in 2020 than any other energy source
I am surprised. I thought the solar capacity being installed was far greater. At least that is certainly true of India. With extensive 'open' coastlines in the US, this might prove to be better.

on: Online platform continues to raise Afghan women’s voices
There is also an attempt to explain the violence in recent days as acts by few and not the reflection of the leadership. But I do not think that really is the case. Remains to be seen, how long they allow internet to be available to the citizens.

on: Uncle Sam Wants to Play ₿
Some governments - especially those with weak currencies would not want money transfer to be that easy. They would like the system to have as much friction as possible.

on: On the link between great thinking and obsessive walking
I was recently reading a book called Why we Swim where the author traces how the ape got back into the water. I think she rightly points out that Swimming is the best place to think because there is no way to be distracted by your phone or anything else for that matter.
While I am also in a landlocked city with little access to pools but it would be interesting to get the point of view of swimmers.

on: Denser cities could be a climate boon – but nimbyism stands in the way
While it may bring down the greenhouse footprint related to transportation. It also would result in greater transmission of pathogens. Something like COVID can spread insanely fast if you have more dense cities.
The solution is to have better public transportation which America has eschewed primarily to serve the needs of car makers.
