"...a chip is, in fact, a functional city for a population of busy electrons."

"...ASML, Europe’s most valuable company. What the firm sells is rarefied light."

Extraordinary evocative writing by Gideon Lewis-Kraus on the microchip as one of humanity's greatest achievements.

Excellent well-researched post by @fahadmh that recommends that Kerala revisit its 2008 Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wetland Act, in order to free up land reserved exclusively for paddy cultivation to other more productive uses. This builds on the work by @srajagopalan et al on constraints that Indian states (Kerala has one of the worst) put on land conversion hobbling its use for more productive purposes.

This is perhaps one of keystone / high leverage legislations that could have huge benefits for the state.

@RishiJoeSanu has also tweeted abt this recently.

Hope we can make this finds its way to @vdsatheesan!

🚨 New post on Kerala's Paddy Land Regulations.

A common misconception is conflating paddy lands (agricultural farms) with wetlands (natural ecosystems).

These are two separate categories and need to be distinguished. Protect one, free the other!

Really interesting passage from the @ejames_c case study on Four Seasons (paywalled on commoncog) on how Isidore Sharp pushed for air conditioning in his UK hotels in the 1970s. Prescient in the light of the rather non-mild UK summers today.
