"Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary... that's what gets you" - Jeremy Clarkson, shared by one of my skydiving friends who almost killed himself about a month ago via a false low-level turn. Balance is key! ๐ฅ
and China is so big and so capable of producing so many goods that Chinese industrial policy is increasingly defining the industrial structure of the US economy -- as US private capital avoids sectors where Chinese state capital dominates.

Water and the Art of War: Is China Gaining a Stranglehold on the World Water Supply?
https://t.co/VEXzpKA8Ar
I posted info yesterday that was pro-nuclear and took issue with the land requirements for wind power.
This triggered a bunch of green-energy warriors to argue with me.
I am not against solar or wind, I own an off-grid farm that is not grid-tied and relies 100% on solar.
It is illuminating when you are off-grid to find just how damn hard it is to make an intermittent energy source work. I have a big nasty diesel generator to back up my solar/battery system. It kicks on a lot more frequently than I would like.
There is a lot of naivety out there about renewable energy. The โjust stop oilโ and green energy warriors say โjust use solar and wind!โ. But these systems are always backed by baseload power - coal, natgas, nuclear, or in very rare cases hydro.
So no I am not against renewables, I love renewables! They allow us at the margin to reduce fossil fuel consumption, which does reduce pollution.
But I find myself at odds with the people that naively argue against nuclear โbecause of wind and solarโ or tell my friend Jusper โdonโt use fossil fuels in Africa, use renewables!โ.
It is ignorant and harmful to keep mixing up intermittent and baseload power generation.

One of the KEY challenges of Web3 is this ๐
Authenticated comms between wallets and apps โจ
Digital wallets are a critical component of the Web3 ecosystem. They enable users to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) and manage their digital assets.
They're essential for ensuring that users can interact:
๐น Securely
๐น Privately
๐น Seamlessly
And in a manner where they retain control over their data, assets, and keys.
L1 networks are taking the challenge head-on, here's how:
