I really like the idea of using a relation db to track change history. It removes so much weirdness and quirkiness that git has. You just have regular SQL queries you can use to go through history and ask questions about the state of the repo. I also like that it’s immutable so you don’t have to worry about things like rebasing and other ways you can fuck up history in git. The problems solved by mucking with history largely go away when you can query the db with a rich syntax.

for sure, I find most of the time science reporting actually makes it harder to understand what the tech does rather than explain it

looks like the innovation here is with using ELF spectrum which penetrates seawater

The US is about to have its own 1991 moment.
