Hoping to Grow in Europe, but Bogged Down by Red Tape
Start-ups are booming in the European Union, but experts say bureaucracy keeps them from expanding across borders.

“Many researchers worry about the long-term effects of throttling the pipeline of trained scientists.

China’s exports of electric vehicles doubled in September as competition at home intensifies
HONG KONG (AP) — China has reported that its electric vehicle exports doubled in September from a year earlier as its automakers expanded further into overseas markets. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said Tuesday that exports of “new energy vehicles,” which include battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, jumped 100% last month to 222,000 […]

Any sufficiently advanced disaster preparedness is indistinguishable from revolutionary dual power. This essay is a bit of a transition between the theory I've written earlier, and more concrete plans.
Even though I only touched on my life on the commune, it was hard not to write more. These are such weird spaces, with so much invisible opportunity. But they're also just so unique and special. For all the stress and uncertainty of making sure you stayed on Lorean's (the head priestess), there were also those long summer nights with the whole community (except the old lady) gathered around a fire, talking and drinking. There was almost a child-like play to the whole time.
There were so Fridays I'd come home with a couple of gallons of beer from the real world, folks would bring things from the garden, someone would grill a steak, everyone who didn't cook would clean up, and we'd just hang out and have fun. So many evenings I'd go over to Miles place with a guitar, or with his guitar, and we'd pass it around over a few beers, talking about philosophy, Star Wars, or some book or other. It's hard not to write about the strange magic of that space.
My partner and I bonded over similar experiences, mine on a weird little religious commune in California and theirs as a temporary worker at Omega Institute. Both had exploitation, people on weird power trips, frustrating dynamics, but also a strange magic and freedom. Both were sort of fantasy worlds, but places that let us see through this one, let us imagine something that something else is possible behind the veil.
There are many such veils.
Perhaps it's fitting that this is more meandering, as a good wander can help the transition between lots of hard thinking and lots of hard working.

The first of at least seven straight days of rain begins Friday in the Bay Area
as an atmospheric river is set to soak the region with a stream of subtropical moisture from Hawaii.
The phenomenon, known as a Pineapple Express, generally brings heavy rain and mountain snow to the West Coast.
“When it reaches the west coast, the Pineapple Express can dump as much as 5 inches of rain on California in one day.”
Friday marks the first of what could be three different round…
