Episode/Newsletter Notes:

The case for 100% Renewables

* Noah Smith’s piece on solar + wind as the future of energy (Tweet thread, Paywalled article).

* My piece earlier this year on the challenges of high amounts of renewables.

Nature vs Nurture: An Intro to Twin Adoption Studies

* Blueprint by Robert Plomin.

* Podcast/debate with Robert Plomin interviewed by Seth Barry.

* Gattaca - movie. (Nothing to do with twin adoption studies. Rather, about a society where people are put into classes by DNA).

Finding something better than Berkshire Hathaway

* Berkshire Hathaway’s Website.

* My article on the (society wide) problems with passive investing.

Corrections and Clarifications:

* At one point I state that Stargate is on 12 blockchains. I later correct this. Stargate is on 7 blockchains by the end of the auction, and can be traded with 12 tokens across those blockchains.

* There are 3 days in 72 hours (not 5-6 days as I wrongly stated!).

* The hack of Ronin did not involve a double-spend. Hackers gained control of four validators and simply move funds that were being controlled by those validators to the hackers' own wallets.
