Edition-121 of Delicacies. As usual, max 5 articles that I found interesting and worth re-reading. Handpicked, no robots. Minimalism in curation. Enjoy!

• About future bedrock of strategy in the organisation. The beach-head of challenge called Spend Control. Priceless post by @swardley: https://medium.com/@swardley/rebooting-gds-96b1595096fa
• About nested planetary spheres and megastructures. Future or extraterrestrial civilizations could create megastructures the size of a solar system: https://bigthink.com/technology-innovation/are-we-living-inside-a-matrioshka-brain-how-advanced-civilizations-could-reshape-reality
• About Blockchain company ConsenSys buying Planetary Resources; I love the bold planetary thinking about smart contract functionality as a natural solution for private-ordering and commerce in space: https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2018/11/blockchain-company-consensys-buys-planetary-resources.html
• About “smell-scapes” and re-creating realities through smell. Fascinating! https://www.engadget.com/2018/10/26/on-the-nose-sissel-tolaas-detroit-exhibition/
• About the strange (military? money laundering? other?) activities on a mysterious Finnish Island. Alienating. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/31/world/europe/sakkiluoto-finland-russian-military.html
