It's not something that's in the US's hands now. Much of the bleeding edge research around mirror life is occuring at Westlake University in Hangzhou.

The danger is that (to quote Jurassic Park) "life always finds a way", and the risks are massive. A good example of the risks of mirror chirality is thalidomide - thalidomide has two enantio…

What incorrect reporting did you find with Reuters? The beats I have personal knowledge about have been correct.

No prob. Luckily BBC's digital platform is garbage so ad blockers or browsers like Firefox and Brave are fairly successful at blocking them so the only visible aspect is sponsored content and lis…

Also, if you have the option to hire Dali Radjic (Wiz, Zscaler, AppDynamics) for a CRO position you take it. Denise and Fidji's backgrounds are in productivity SaaS (Slack) and B2C+B2B2C (Instaca…

I smell a felony case with a non-trivial chance of lead poisoning or a visit to a trauma center.

Hope you have (best case) a good lawyer or (worst case) good health insurance as well if you attempt physical intrusion. Their physical asset security team is hardboiled [0][1]. I've dealt with t…

I agree, but no one is going to change their track and this is something that neither the EU-27 nor the US nor anyone else has power over now. And it's not like this wasn't known - we were l…

They eat the cost. Most countries are not as poor as they used to be 30 years ago, and can afford a $2 billion or even $10 billion climate disaster hit. Back in VN, the cyclone seasons now causes seve…

Nobody took action because the global south (logically) decided that economic growth and rising living standards is worth the global cost.

If that was the case, then global GHG emissions would have remained roughly stagnant for over 2 decades. The reality is the world got richer, and households who 30 years ago would have had little acce…
