Here's a wild tuesday proposal: Nuclear (or #fusion) -powered continental-scale #desalinization based in Churchill, #Manitoba, #Canada.

It would take many years to bring something like the above to fruition, by which point I imagine climate models might be telling us the need will be acute.

A PC (w/ folding screen & keyboard transport slot) baked into an "ink matrix" printer - one of the more interesting things I've seen. 50lbs, 8GB of RAM, a back up battery - sold by Toshiba in Japan. Can anyone tell me what this is for?

Does anyone know the real story of the Fanduel exit? This story keeps floating around #vc social media (attr: Gerald Duran). If the numbers are as bad as the post implies ($465 on $416 raised), why does everyone think the founders should have won? #startups #exits #fundraising
