We worked with Nature Portfolio to sponsor an amazing collection of articles on quantum dots from the Nobel winners, making it free for everyone to read through December. So much great material on the development of quantum dots over the last 4 decades!

Current law prevents immediately deducting R&D expenses – a policy in effect for 70 yrs. Thanks @SenatorHassan & @SenToddYoung for your leadership in introducing the American Innovation & Jobs Act to ensure US tax code provides incentives to invest in R&D. https://t.co/66JNdpI7Yd

Gordon Moore once said, “What can be done, can be outdone.” As stewards of his law, Intel will work relentlessly to exponentially outdo what he & Robert Noyce set out to do. He leaves behind a legacy that changed the lives of every person on the planet. His memory will live on.

If he:

-Changes his entire look for you
-Travels 1,900 miles upstream to chase you
-Procreates and dies
-Replenishes an entire ecosystem with his carcass

He's not your valentine, he's a Chinook salmon

The Planet Money newsletter is always excellent, but I especially love this one: @emmapeaslee and @elliswonk write about @edward_the6 who created an app that can tell if something was written by AI. (also he was once my student and I am so proud!!)

Instead of “going public,” you could say we’re “going purpose.” Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.
