Funny coincidence — all I know about it is what I just read in a New Yorker article about Tim Berners-Lee (the inventor of the Internet and html), who is involved. Looks interesting.

Why not both? (Actually, I don’t care about views, and think there’s plenty of land without infilling to make lots of homes)

Haha I lol’d

Moar density!! And better transit to support it, which means higher taxes if not offset by the density (but hopefully it would be).

I’ve been there. In the moment I convinced myself that there was a special quiet to working so early in the morning and I should appreciate it. Then 6:30 hit and I had to also get 3 kids up, fed, and ready for school while still in the conference. Never again.

I’m Clark, based in Halifax NS Canada. I use robots to study the ocean and work primarily in the Canadian Arctic and the Northwest Atlantic. I’m a foster parent for a bunch of #Argo floats that I get school classes to adopt before they get deployed across the global ocean. 🌊 🧪🌎🌡️

On the other hand, if the water is very clear, that would indicate the opposite (low nutrients and so not much growth). I might have to take a drive by before leaving town for two weeks tomorrow 😊.

I haven’t seen in person, but usually a greenish hue would be the result of a phytoplankton bloom (eg tiny plants). There has been lots of light so maybe that’s kicked off something. I can ask colleagues to see if our regular sampling has picked up anything! 🌊

You should come! Halifax is fantastic.
