Over the next 10 years, a complete 3D map of the world will be created to power everything from augmented reality to autonomous vehicles.

It remains to be seen whether it will be an open public good, to be built upon like the WWW, or closed and controlled.

2/ To me, that question is as significant as any social platform censorship or deplatforming conversation.

If you’re interested in this, I’m going to give TwitterLive's (i.e. @PeriscopeTV) new call-in features a whirl today at 2:30 EST riffing w @jaymstr from @fantasmoio

Long Reads Sunday #34.

This week, some of the biggest news was around a project whose name references a powerful god of blood and sacrifice.

I’m referring, of course, to JP Morgan’s JPM Coin.

That, plus #ETHDenver, pensions getting off zero, well..it was a week! 👇
2/ All joking aside, the real project I was mentioning above is Moloch, a new coordination DAO meant to help the Ethereum community better allocate resources to shared infrastructure projects.

H/T to @neeraj for the joke I borrowed.
3/ To learn more about Moloch, check out this video one of the project’s builders @ameensol did with @twobitidiot of @messaricrypto at #ETHDenver. Ameen is one of the most interesting thinkers in Ethereum and crypto so highly recommend. pscp.tv/w/bzcMeTFkdktP…

Should crypto care about JPMorgan coin? pscp.tv/w/bzWKPTE0Nzc1…
For those who prefer writing over watching, here's a recap. /1 👇
2/ Argument for "positive" is about i) legitimacy for 'crypto' + ii) new entrants who come into the market through this and get red pilled into discovering everything about open, permissionless blockchains

Here's an interesting question:

From an industry narrative and perception perspective, what is the likely impact of JP Morgan creating their own crypto coin?

"[Trump's] move left Senate Republicans sharply divided, and it remains to be seen whether they will act collectively to try to stop Trump" #SundayMorning #SundayThoughts nytimes.com/2019/02/16/us/…
2-"..The Republican resistance to Mr. Trump’s emergency declaration was much more pronounced in the Senate than in the House, where a few Republicans — in the minority but more closely aligned to Mr. Trump — groused. But most of the conservative rank and file embraced it.
3-"After threatening to kill the spending compromise needed to keep the government open, Mr. Trump opted to cite a national emergency to pry loose additional funding to build a wall longer than the 55 miles in the bipartisan agreement. It was the divisive step that Senator Mitch

22-Nasrallah: Fmr. DM @bogie_yaalon said that Israel has known about the tunnels for years, and Israel lied about knowing about the tunnels in order to keep Hezbollah in the dark.
23-Nasrallah: I now direct a question to Israeli public and settlers in northern Israel: can you be sure @netanyahu and Israeli leadership are being honest when they tell you that they found all tunnels from Lebanon into Israel?
24-Nasrallah on whether Israeli Op ended Hezbollah's invasion of Galilee: Israel now carrying out several procedures to prevent Hezbollah from entering the Galilee - and I only said it was hypothetical we'd invade Galilee. Imagine if I said we would definitely do it.

Kicking off #WalkBikePlaces with an infrastructure tour on @BlueBikesNOLA. Several under way now; I'm on the one that looks at public art, placemaking. #bikeNOLA
First stop: Jackson Square, National Historic Site, named for Andrew J. Led battle that saved NOLA in 1812 but owned enslaved people. Should his statue come down? #WalkBikePlaces
Beautiful murals! Families of Plessy and Ferguson reconciled with art in celebration. Studio BE right across the street--big studio space in covered warehouse. @BlueBikesNOLA station right here at park.

hearing—"#China's Worldwide #Military Expansion" is a dramatic bellwether of growing concerns in Washington & beyond.

Now online—hard-hitting arguments + many data points, some deeply-analyzed yet hard to find elsewhere in public domain:

CAPT Jim Fanell, USN Ret, former @USPacificFleet N2:

"today, the PLA Navy consists of over 330 surface ships & 66 submarines, nearly 400 combatants. As of 4 May 2018, the @USNavy consists of 283 battle force ships: 211 surface ships and 72 submarines."

"By 2030, it is estimated [by Fanell & @SCheneyPeters in their chapter in @NavalWarCollege @ChinaMaritime Studies Institute's Chinese Naval Shipbuilding volume amazon.com/Chinese-Naval-… @USNIBooks that] the PLANavy will consist of some 550 ships: 450 surface ships & 99 submarines."

(THREAD) I just watched @rustyrockets interview @jordanbpeterson, and want to say that—among my many objections to Peterson—I resent his framing retrograde cultural philosophies as post-postmodern. This thread details how Peterson's schtick is destructive. I hope you'll share it.
1/ For those who don't know Peterson, he's a pre-Modernist thinker whose embrace of some mid-20th c. philosophical, lit-critical, and psychological dead-ends—an ideology frozen in the 50s—has made him a hero among the alt-right. He's part of the so-called "Intellectual Dark Web."
2/ Just as I'd have less problem with Bill O'Reilly if he copped to being a retrograde boor whose head as to key matters like gender equality and civil rights is stuck in the suburbs of his childhood—so we'd know to ignore him—Peterson's dangerous because he disguises what he is.

We are dying younger, in part, because of deliberate policy choices made over decades:
• Rejecting universal health care.
• Cutting taxes for the rich.
• Shunning income support.
• Abandoning universal child care.

Those choices increasingly set us apart in the world. #SDoH
