"... if guano as fertilizer was the key to maintaining America’s agriculture‐​based economy in the 19th century, then data is the new life blood of the digital economy in the 21st century." - @PMatzko #MoreBuildingTomorrow

Most Americans believe that democracy is the most just, fair, and equal form of government we’ve come up with thus far. Is that overselling it?

The Levellers viewed religious freedom as a corollary of one’s “self‐​propriety,” or “property in one’s person,” as John Locke later called it.

Building Tomorrow is in hiatus at the moment, but a new, redesigned season of the podcast is coming later this year.

The theme is "More": more immigrants, more stuff, more green tech, more GDP, more, more, MOAR!

Your online data isn't "the new oil." It's sand, economically worthless until aggregated at scale. HT: @AlecStapp

[Alec Stapp @AlecStapp]

“Our individual data is just not that valuable. Data is not the new oil. It is the new sand. Like silicon, which makes up 28% of the earth’s crust, it is ubiquitous & is only made valuable by an enormous set of industrial-scale processes.”

@timoreilly nails it on data & privacy

Our editor, @PMatzko was interviewed on Vox about the death of Rush Limbaugh and what he meant for the rise of talk radio.

The FDA took two weeks to grant an emergency use authorization to Pfizer, but only two days for J&J. That's an improvement, but they're still needlessly dragging their feet on AstraZeneca's vaccine.

Kids, when you grow up, don't be like the FDA.

We've been on a housing kick recently, but if you want a deeper dive into a YIMBY approach to housing affordability, zoning relaxation, and the role it plays in fueling racial and economic segregation, here's our interview with @salimfurth.

If you oppose allowing the development of luxury condos and other high end housing because you want more affordable housing, you're really just signaling that you don't understand economics.

"All housing development creates more affordable housing."

[Paul Matzko @PMatzko]

Broke: no development in my back yard

Woke: maybe don't zone away all affordable housing

Bespoke: ALL housing development creates more affordable housing. 🌐

[Paul Matzko @PMatzko]

The case for American optimism in the 2020s is tech: eg mRNA cures for cancers, solid state batteries, AI, cheap renewable energy.

The case for American pessimism in the 2020s is our dysfunctional political system.

Invest more of your energy in the former than the latter.

From @BuildTmrw: "We live in a world of limited resources, meaning that we can’t do everything. We can’t make our lives perfectly safe, no matter how much we might wish otherwise."

Twitter is starting behind Substack in the monetized blogger space, but its purchase of direct competitor Revue + eventual integration w/ the new Super Follows program could give them an edge down the road.

Algorithmic moderation is necessary as long as large-scale internet platforms exist. And this link from @walterolson is a reminder that flagged false positives are going to be a problem. Content moderation at scale is hard.
