To combat illegal parking in their neighborhood, 66 households in Shenyang installed a massive chain lock made with 66 personal padlocks to their gate—each resident can open the gate w/ their own keys. This turns out to be a true, decentralized, free *blockchain*

It took a pandemic to realize:

• Homeschool is going mainstream
• Living at an office is unnecessary
• Telemedicine should be default
• Good hygeine protects everyone
• Megacities aren’t the only option
• Blindly believing experts is risky
• Change can happen really fast

The #NobelPrize committee couldn't reach Paul Milgrom to share the news that he won, so his fellow winner and neighbor Robert Wilson knocked on his door in the middle of the night.

Zoom catch-22: when you look at the camera while talking, people see you looking them in the eye, so they nod and give all this nonverbal feedback that you don't see because you're looking at the camera. When you look at the people, they see you looking down so they don't react.

This video is essentially why the Black Hole at the center of the Milky Way got the #NobelPrize today: They tracked *individual* stars orbit around the black hole over time. Animation from here: https://t.co/yoJ5nd0QsT

ICYMI: This is how close asteroid 1998 OR2 came to earth last night!

It is large enough to wreak havoc on earth if it were to strike our planet, but it was always known that it won't come anywhere near a collision when it flies by.

"Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve."

Happy 162nd Birthday Max Planck.

This 82yo retired teacher staying alone in Kolkata, signalled the police to come up to his flat. They thought he was in distress and rushed to him. They were given a cheque to be deposited in CM's relief fund of 10k with an apology as he can't make online transactions.

India is flattening the curve. The growth rate has shown a consistent decline - from April 6th onwards - approximately 2 weeks after the #Lockdown . Active cases are doubling every 7 days.
