Congratulations to the U.S. Physics Olympiad team but unless the State Dept says otherwise, the winners are all American.

Women's leadership should not be defined in terms of combat experience. It should be defined in terms of sacrifices made for children, especially one's own. In contrast the worst sin that female leader can commit is to order the deliberate targeting of children during war.

Someone one ought to check if ACA programs cost as much as unsubsidized private insurance programs. They should, and they should have similar payouts to doctors if ACA is designed correctly. If not, the current solution costs more for worse healthcare.

Reversion to the mean is a beautiful phenomenon in all aspects of nature. Only those of you who have ever read and contemplated the long-term outcomes of the research paper defining the Mahalanobis distance would know what I mean.

Reality check: hard tech means you have to consider personal protective equipment and hazard rates for your own job or those of your employees. Silicon Valley is a mental health management zone.

Only in Silicon Valley Valley is hoarding graphics cards considered ‘hard tech.’

In media, it is the highest honor to receive mainstream status. It means you have transcended the chains of race, religion, class, gender, and the other labels that define us. The term ‘maven’ has achieved that status.

It’s painful to watch a person having to play verbal gymnastics because the society they live in doesn’t understand or support a commonly accepted concept in other societies.

Someone should do a study of how many steps the typical manufacturing worker gets per day. I know warehouse workers in a highly optimized setting can easily walk 7+ miles a day just during working hours.

Nerds: only cs & robotics students care about a real android. A lot more people care about climate change. And the majority of people with money care about cars.

I guess this is why DC needs so many security clearances. I wonder how many Coldwater Creeks there are in the U.S.

It’s a great development that the U.K. has lowered the legal voting age to 16. If you can operate a lethal machine (a car) at 16, you’re definitely capable of voting. The U.S. should do this too.

For personal reasons I cannot work in the solar industry. However, there's so much funding going into AI, I'm confident there's plenty available for independent power producers to directly power data centers without government subsidies.

I randomly came across this very useful chart from @CALFIRE_PIO related to a past problem I worked on. This problem & other extreme weather events aren’t going away anytime soon. I’m hopeful that AI using satellite imagery & cellular data will lead to better solutions.
