It’s rare that I find a tool that does exactly what I thought I’d have to hack together a solution for. Can’t find who’s behind it, would love to give them kudos.
Yeah I’d really like to see some sort of systemic reform to prevent this. Really sucks how innovators have to pay this “toll” (to the trolls under the bridge) and have come to just resign themselves to the fact.
Musk had to wait 10 years and pay $11 million for Tesla.com —time and money that undoubtedly could’ve been better spent.
Thanks for sharing, this makes me want to move the book up my list of to-reads. As a side-note, I’m blown away to learn that Judea Pearl is the father of Daniel Pearl — can’t imagine the amount of composure it must take to continue to operate at the highest levels in his field after experiencing grief of that nature.
There were already tapes that indicated racism on the part of Nixon (see https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/07/ronald-rea...). These latest tapes seemed to me worthy of further discussion because it isn’t merely a case of personal attitudes and beliefs, as terrible as those can be. These recordings indicate that the racism of Nixon and Kissinger actually played a tangible role in shaping recent U.S. foreign policy and led to tragic loss of life.
It's so easy to forget that we (human kind) are actually up there doing solid research all the time. The attention paid in the media to launches, landings, and the work being done seems tragically low to me.
why would you stop playing something so good?? haha
it's the same for me -- every time I see a reference to rocketry I find myself re-watching this video. The commentary is useful to learn more from an engineering standpoint as well.
"And then, one day, she was too weak even to get to her feet, although she greeted me with the usual rumble, which tugged at my heartstrings. I again stared at the rows of tins in my store. I had tried them all, and then suddenly one on the shelf caught my eye, which had been given to me some weeks before. My interest rose when I saw that it contained coconut oil added to a fat-free base, for I remembered once being told that coconut oil was probably the nearest substitute for the fat of elephant's milk. This last one I would try, and suddenly I felt a good deal happier, at least all was not lost yet.
It worked. My joy knew no bounds. Finally we had unlocked the mystery of how to bottle-rear a baby elephant."

This was a real tear-jerker. One of the best short reads I've come across in a while, and an interesting look into the science and experimentation that goes into conservation efforts.
friends are shocked when I tell them that the plight of beggars on the streets of Mumbai - in terms of mental and physical health, hygiene, and support systems - is far better than that of the homeless in S.F.
It's the yik-yak for the corporate world; an absolute cesspool. Whatever valuable information exists on that platform isn't worth sifting through all the toxicity, as some others here have alluded to. I installed it and deleted it forever within 45 mins. Don't do it to yourself, folks.
Yeah, from what I can tell from chatter online, the anthropocene has been reported on and is assumed to be true, but has not been given an official designation yet.
where is the book available? The HTML site is up, but the PDFs have been taken down it seems. Wouldn't be surprised if the site is collapsed to a stub soon too; it may be the next to go.
