Julian Stirling @stirling_julian I’m delighted to still be publishing papers almost 2 years after leaving academia to become freelance.

Sebastian S. Cocioba @ATinyGreenCell Over 800 million people are food insecure today. We have done a great good since the year 2000, but the ones who need it most are still suffering from famine globally.

#XfinitySupport I had to rest for a while, but did go over my experiences with XFinity in recent days and weeks and years.

The near future might have many synthesized foods, materials and experiences — The rumor on the Internet is that most “olive oil” is already a substitute. If it truly disappeared, there are ways to make oils by blending that can substitute. And ways to make it by building molecules with industrial chemical processes. There are

Translation ids for global open resources. Grok means “to do the whole of things”. If I search for “the sun” in millions of places on the Internet, I get back a bunch of text and pictures usually and a few videos. On Google (“the sun”) gives 1.02 Billion entry points. But almost none of
