A missing piece of the puzzle

I've been puzzling over the rationale for some recent events... Exxon has a large contract to develop oil and natural gas resources in the Russia. This can only go forward if sanctions on Russia are lifted, which seems likely to happen in the near future. But, there is too much oil and capacity to…

The Aspen Art Museum is doing a series of interdisciplinary lectures, titled "Another Look" Another Look Lecture: Gabriel Orozco & Cosmology - so this is a thing. I did one of the lectures. The first one, I gather. It was quite an interesting experience, for me at least. Good fun, riffing on…

And it's what David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel set out to investigate starting in the late 1950s. Ultimately, their work would get them a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, in 1981. Basically, they…
Weekend Diversion: Chess is Almost Solved!
