Liberals are failing their own moral standards. If Donald Trump’s victory is really the end of the republic—if it’s going to lead to unspeakable evils visited upon our fellow citizens—then you have a moral obligation to do more than just make angry noises. But most of them won’t.

I should say a majority in the Senate and a (hopefully) likely majority in the House, since we don’t know yet. Point is, if he’s really going to end democracy, then what are you going to do about it? Sit back and feel sorry for yourself? It’s remarkable how demoralized they are.

Loss curve so far. I really think I should set up a lower learning rate: training re-intensified as I set up the decay. https://t.co/LCtKnrO9Cu

Harnessing new materials is a core engine of progress. Every material we use had to be invented and scaled at some point. You can read more about how materials leave the lab and enter mass production in this piece by @Ben_Reinhardt: https://t.co/ZAOjDtwkOV

Perhaps strengthening intellectual property could bring back industrial R&D labs like Bell Labs by encouraging companies to fund speculative research. New biology-inspired materials with the ability to self-repair or be fine-tuned as they’re manufactured could avoid bottlenecks.
