Salk's act was altruism. A better example is WWI: the US nationalized Marconi's patents and assigned to GE to ensure unified military communications. This led to the NBC networks monopoly that was later broken up to restore competition. Socialism is an essential part of healthy government.

Only 9? Nonsense. Linux is superior in every way but one: market dominance resulting from anti-competitive practices in the early days. That's about to change, though, now that nations have recognized the resulting cyber threat that dominance poses.

3I/Atlas's nickel suggests it’s a fragment of a differentiated body. Warming, CO vents over nickel grains at the temperatures and pressures to form nickel carbonyl—basically the Mond process in space. Not alien tech, just natural metallurgy from a shattered protoplanet.

Actually, "The Cold Embrace" is my 9th for the Baen award sold to Analog. I wrote 10 for the contest & all sold to pro markets. One went to Galaxy's Edge. The rest to @analogsf.bsky.social, though one missed the contest due to schedule conflicts.

When a story sells, I always reread for errors to flag in the galleys—my little ritual of disbelief.
This time it’s "The Cold Embrace", coming soon in @analogsf.bsky.social!

Things are tough for a lot of people, but ignore the TikTok apocalyptism. A big part of the problem is that since Reagan, economist pay too much attention to market value and too little to the state or ordinary people. Still, this is NOT a depression, not yet.
