The largest solar plant in the world, in China, covers 50 square kilometers. The Diablo Canyon nuclear plant in the US sits on less than one square kilometer of land yet generates six times as much power, writes @LeaBoothJr https://t.co/psYv8XLQjW
China is building a new modern marvel. It's not a dam or a high speed rail, it's the most sophisticated domestic surveillance system in the world.
The scale of data collection is staggering. No biometric frontier is neglected. This is how it works: https://t.co/JsjaNDrPW3
On this day in 1979, the first Cineplex, home to 18 screens, opened in Toronto. The shift to multiple-screen cinemas was the brainchild of Canadian businessman Nat Taylor, featured in this classic Heritage Minute. #HeritageMinute
“What we should care about is not the bronze and granite, but rather the ruthlessly abbreviated and arbitrary process that serves to dispatch people, or even whole classes of people, by keyboard guillotine”

1. In The Coddling, @glukianoff and I pointed to Instagram as a main suspect in the sudden rise of depression/anxiety among Gen Z girls that began around 2012.
New report: Facebook’s own internal research supports that hypothesis.

Bill C-10 is not only substantively a bad bill. It's one of the *worst managed* bills I've ever seen.
I cannot imagine how the minister who oversaw this wreck can keep his job.
After claiming no user generated content regulation in Bill C-10, now @s_guilbeault says the CRTC can regulate if you get a lot of views or followers?!
The government’s story about the bill changes daily. Time to scrap it and start over.

The Rio de Janeiro police today entered the favela of Jacarezinho, where @davidmirandario grew up and where his family lives, and left 25 people dead, the most of any police operation in the city's history. They entered homes, killed civilians, complete massacre and bloodshed.
.@JustinTrudeau still won't acknowledge that Bill C-10 currently includes user generated content.
But his own Minister @s_guilbeault has already said not to worry, they'll fix it.
How can we trust your fixes when you don't even seem to know what's broken?
I still don't understand why "IP protections" are the issue, as opposed to "manufacturing and distribution capacity."
Can't we just keep the IP and pay for doses for as many poor people need them, the very process that worked in America?
Beautiful story. Dr. Kariko, a working class immigrant from Hungary to the U.S., worked for decades, never earning more than $60k/year, to create the foundational science of mRNA technology that unlocked new covid vaccines & potentially unlimited new cures https://t.co/6eAIk95834
