Big tech allows Inciting violence and targeted harassment if it's against the "right people".
They allow coordination and organization if you're with the "right group"
The media, law makers and celebrities embrace the voices of the unheard (RIOTS) if they're the "right voices"
Criminals are celebrated as brave heroes while the people protecting us from the criminals are demonized.
Rioters looting, murdering, vandalizing, and terrorizing our country are supported, praised and funded by the media, politicians, celebrities and corporations.
Yesterday Americans who have watched the loudest voices get their way for years and felt it was time their voices be heard took action.
Sure there could have been a more productive approach but to demonize them as terrorists and insurgents just proves the double standards.
We are blessed to live in the greatest nation in the world.
BLM and Antifa rioters hate this country and are doing so to destroy it.
The people on the right who were rioting yesterday believe they were trying to save it.
One is praised and the other is condemned.
It's sad.

JUST IN - FBI\u2019s digital media team is currently hunting down U.S. Capitol protesters on social media websites. Acting AG Rosen says some participants "will be charged today" and more arrests to come.

Well, we’re between coup attempts and attempts to throw out a seditionist president, so I’m going to take the opportunity to describe this research that was recently accepted in @SERestoration for the grassland ecology SF.
Led by @Blackburn_RC and in collaboration with @barberecology and others not on the Twitters, this work was from Ryan’s MSc research @NIULive. I say research and not thesis, dear reader, bc it didn’t make it into his thesis.
Truth be told, this was an epic battle of computer vs researcher and many times, it felt like computer won. I encourage students in my lab pick a risky part and less risky part of their research. Drone imagery was Ryan’s risky part.
As sometimes happens w the risky part, this one didn't go in the thesis, but Ryan persevered to get it published nonetheless.
More times than not, in fact, it felt like the drone work went like this:

I recently bought one of these air quality monitors and got to take it out for some measurements!
I'll share some findings in this thread.
CCing @CO2Guerrillas here, in case they would like to share.
A very quick intro:
This device measures:
-CO2 concentration
-relative humidity
-atmospheric pressure
-temperature
I spent ~$200 on Amazon. It pairs with your phone and you can watch data come in every minute or so.

A lot of covid transmission is airborne. So, having clean air is a must for reducing transmission.
A great way to see how much clean air you are getting is to measure CO2 concentration.
Too high -> you could use more ventilation -> open some windows!
So, I walked around town and took some measurements.
Outdoor CO2 concentration should be about 400 ppm. I haven't calibrated my device yet, so I measured ~470. Close enough.
<800 is good for indoors. Something like 2000 is very bad.
https://t.co/oZAkVnr9ts
For a reference: inside my apartment I quickly get ~1000 ppm if I don't have windows open. Maybe ~1500 if things get bad.
If I crack some windows, even just barely, it gets down to ~600 ppm very quickly, and my heater can keep the apartment ~70 F no problem.

1/ The big story for #FinTech in 2021?
⏩ Alt Goes Mainstream ⏪
How did we get here? Who are the players? Where do we go next?
Thread 🧵below 👇
And check out Substack for how the confluence of a number of trends will change investing as we know
2/ FinTech has ushered in new waves of access to different types of alternative investments.
Over the past decade, we witnessed a groundbreaking era of democratized access to alternative investments.
Not long ago, it seemed unthinkable that individual investors could ...
3/ 💳 invest in fractions of a loan. @LendingClub
made that possible.
💸 invest $20 alongside Sand Hill Rd VCs into a fast-growing startup. @joinrepublic made that possible.
🏦 invest alongside endowments into a top private equity fund. @icapitalnetwork made that possible.
4/ We have now hit the era of alt alt assets.
People can now invest in everything from classic 🚗 to 🎨 to 🏀 & 🏈 cards thanks to democratized access to investing in real things.
5/ The hype is real.
If there's any cohort of people who view culture as a financial asset, it's Millennials and Gen

Never invested in illiquid assets before. So I put a small amount of money in @OnRallyRd.

Pretty cool to open up the app and see one of the investments exited and I made a profit.
Alternative asset asset investing is cool.
