Happy weekend! Here are some links to things I've been reading or watching that you might also enjoy:
- Where Mackenzie Scott has been directing her philanthropy.
- A couple of days ago, Boom announced the successful flight of XB-1, the world's first independently developed supersonic jet. Video here.
- How Auckland brought house prices and rents under control.
- Casper Ruud, Dominic Thiem, and Alex de Minaur discuss playing Nadal at Roland-Garros and Nadal's tactics. (Video will start at the relevant section. Lots of other interesting insights about professional tennis.)
- 'Nutrition science's most preposterous result'. (Note for the general point on the sociology of science.)
- YouTube documentary on shortselling, featuring friend of the pod John Hempton.
- 'The Coming Technological Singularity: How to Survive in the Post-Human Era', resharing this 1993 article in honour of its author Vernor Vinge, who passed away this week.
Have a great weekend,
Joe
