From Pakistan to the Philippines, women break open closed industries. Great news and they look ueber cool, truly. But look at the plane they are relegated to! If my eyes dont deceive me it is Mig-21, a model that first flew in 1955! Mig-29? Su-30? ft.com/content/99bfaa… https://t.co/u47LTiqmv9

@MaxCRoser @OurWorldInData You are, collectively, an ESSENTIAL resource. Thank you for everything you do. I always heave a sigh of relief when I find one of your graphs or data pages. "Ok. Now I am in the hands of sensible people. Data I don't have to worry about."

“Silicon Saxony” is Europe’s largest microelectronics / ICT cluster, or so it claims. If TSMC makes good on its intention of locating in Dresden that is a huge coup. Plus Intel is eying Magdeburg. business-saxony.com/en/industry-se… https://t.co/Rdi0aV8KIY
More good news for Saxony: TSMC is in advanced talks with key suppliers about setting up its first potential European plant in the German city of Dresden. Would allow the world’s largest chipmaker to capitalise on demand from the region’s car industry. ft.com/content/b006d8…

Would make a fun case study for STS friends teaching courses on innovation etc @DEHEdgerton @STS_News But also for Latourians @picharbonnier The MP4/4 is the mirror image of Aramis. It is a machine that is loved excessively by too many people.
Apart from the schoolyard fun & the fact that the car is simply so beautiful, the argument over the MP4/4 matters because it engages two very different visions of how innovation happens: One centered on the individual genius, the other crediting teams & a diverse array of skills.

Why was Adani given the contract to redevelop Dharavai slum district on valuable land at heart of Mumbai? Because he offered finance which will run to billions & because of BJP contacts. Unlike previous failed efforts this will be a PPP. @TheEconomist economist.com/asia/2022/12/2…
