Genetically Engineered 'Supertrees' Capture More Carbon (3 minute read)

Living Carbon is a San Francisco-based startup that is genetically engineering trees to capture and store more carbon. Its goal is to combat the effects of climate change without needing to take up land that could otherwise be used for agriculture. Fewer trees would need to be planted if they were able to absorb and retain more carbon. There are still many factors to consider before the trees become a reality, such as the environmental impact the trees will have and whether the modifications make the trees more vulnerable to disease.

AuthZ: Carta’s highly scalable permissions system (13 minute read)

This article talks about how Carta developed AuthZ, its authorization system based on Google Zanzibar. Carta was growing and it needed an authorization system that was scalable, fast, and generic enough for any new product needs. Zanzibar is used to service millions of authorization requests per second at Google for several high-traffic products including YouTube and Drive. It isn't open-source, so the Carta team had to build its own custom system.
