    If we're optimising happiness, what happens to sustainability? See for instance the "Sustainability and Well-Being" section here: or more recently:

    In the future, societies will hold their governments to account over whether life has become better or not. Economic growth will become irrelevant. After this mandate letter from Canada has started to take that step

    As some of our field team leaders make their way home from Beijing to Montreal, here are the PM2.5 (particulate matter air pollution) levels *right now* in both cities. (Smog expected to stay into Sunday in Mtl)

    On the other hand in some markets car2go (& moreso than its competitors) was a substitute for public transit: similar price & just slightly faster. In that sense / in those places, its disappearance could be a sign of successful public policy & the shift to "transport en commun"

    In 2010-11 I got a free car2go nearly to myself as part of pre-release testing for . Car2go's demise across N. America this month is not the death of car sharing, but does signal problems: lack of rules on developers, maybe public carshare, easy group insurance.

    Here's an effort to measure the (subjective) well-being of children. Worldwide. Wonderful work! And about time.

    And out today in are our main initial findings on global street-network sprawl: We think this is super-important because street networks never change once they're laid down. New developments worldwide are cementing urban impacts for centuries.

    Adam Millard-Ball and I spent five years measuring urban sprawl in a globally-comparable way, for all mapped intersections and streets on Earth. Here's some coverage of our first paper of 2 on the subject:

    I've actually also enjoyed my share of sprite-fest storms. In my past life, a highlight was seeing a sprite with my naked eyes, from a mountaintop, in 1997. Back then we mostly used image intensifiers for imaging from the ground (below are photometers).

    One catch: paying for subscriptions for (e.g.) Starlink network: payment/banking systems are subject to government scrutiny (I think that's good). maybe you will make low-speed access free in countries which prohibit subscriptions? (or low-speed free to all?)

    Shortly, with only pizza-box-sized receivers, people in Iran and every other country will always have uncensored Internet access through global satellite networks. No more surveillance by USA, China, etc. Cld this be one of profound social transformations of the 21st C?

    Best sprite storm *ever*. Wow! That must have been a lot of charge movement. And wow, the camera tech is crazy nowadays. Congrats, !

    (Of course plenty of politicians are doing the best any of us could! I applaud them. David's just having fun & poking at complacency. You know, like he was with this old song when a loony man of an earlier calibre of looniness led that great country: )

    More history to be made tonight? These two are hoping to catch a set of rocket fairings, half an hour from now. I've watched ~40 launches live (by video) and only recently without tears of wonder and joy.... It's always amazing.
