Wednesday Linkorama

Round up of things I found interesting.

Space elevators have been a part of SiFi for a long time, this article talks about possibly building them for real!

This article describes the basic ideas about how they work and why you may want to use one instead of rockets.

Crypto is starting to get the attention of regulators.

Diplomacy is a classic social board game focused on trickery and negotiations between players. The first games computers got really good at (like chess) required a lot of calculation. This article talks about Cicero, an AI that (allegedly) has human level performance in the game Diplomacy. So, computers may be getting better at other types of games.
