My cash flow after the expenses for everything that gives me and my family a very comfortable lifestyle is only $3!! I must not have a comfortable lifestyle!

[Matt Darling 🌐🏗️ @besttrousers]

I really enjoy posts like this because they make me feel like a financial genius. I am able to maintain approximately the same lifestyle with substantially less household income.

Ford’s new electric truck can store so much power in its batteries that, in a blackout, it can supply a house’s normal power usage for three days! Its a technology of resilience. @yayitsrob

The "anti–death penalty unless the crime is, like, really bad" position—or, as I prefer to call it, the "pro–death penalty" position.

[Dustin Volz @dnvolz]

It’s incredible that more than a year into the pandemic many news organizations still struggle to write headlines about Covid studies that at all reflect their actual findings.

@lheal @akfirefly76 @Andy_Bell_73 @anthonyLfisher Plus, testing strategies aren't useless. Picking up on context clues, ruling out known falsehoods to improve your odds, and knowing determining when to cut your losses on a problem in order to maximize net outcome have very real-world applications.

@jdcmedlock @ne0liberal It also seems odd to insist that we can only ever define infrastructure as it was in 1908.

@JesseJenkins @ERCOT_ISO Haven't read the report yet, but this makes it seem like even though they have the data for the forecasted wind/solar power, they elected to not use that to characterize wind/solar outages and instead use nameplate (with this added 'note')

@MostePotenteTx @rainygay1 @florianederer @Noahpinion Nope. Lots of public finance for development as well. https://t.co/nXPMUQMpfe

[mark ditsworth @markditsworth]

@MostePotenteTx @rainygay1 @florianederer @Noahpinion And these smaller firms
1) typically grow out of university research projects and/or DARPA/NIH programs
2) typically acctract private investment AFTER receiving public research grants.

@MostePotenteTx @rainygay1 @florianederer @Noahpinion Most of what big pharma spends on r&d isnt on new innovative drugs/therapies (like mRNA vaccs). Smaller cos generate the most new products https://t.co/MBwd7FzJgG

[mark ditsworth @markditsworth]

@MostePotenteTx @rainygay1 @florianederer @Noahpinion Without "work" from biotech? None. But most of the financial risk is underwritten by public financing. If you work on an invention and I pay you to do it and it doesnt work out, you've been paid the whole time but I can't get my money back.

[mark ditsworth @markditsworth]

@brush701 @florianederer @ProfTGilbert Makes you wonder what would have happened if covid hadn’t happened, and they released a mRNA vaccine? Because even before the warp speed money went their way, Moderna was heavily funded through a darpa program. So it’s not like the de-risking was only due to the pandemic.

@jdcmedlock @Mike_from_PA This is a gas tax with.... less steps?

[mark ditsworth @markditsworth]

@erikbryn @trungly_econ @ModeledBehavior *way longer

[mark ditsworth @markditsworth]

@erikbryn @trungly_econ @ModeledBehavior Don't forget the fact that DARPA has been funding mrna for easy longer than just warp speed https://t.co/nXPMUQMpfe

The description the situation as the ship having "accidentally Tokyo drifted to a stop" is by far my favorite

I love everything ⁦@amandamull⁩ writes - she cracks me up and also dials me into subjects that more sober treatments would send me to dream land. This is especially great.
