The strategy is familiar and predictable by now. A pile of outrageous statements - all to ensure we spend the next days talking about him, not about you and not about how Kamala Harris will make life more affordable and restore the right to choose that he took away. It’s bait.

No billionaire should pay a lower tax rate than working-class Americans.

@KamalaHarris and I support a billionaire minimum tax – and we’ll ensure corporations pay their fair share.

What’s crazy is even the “shrunken” 500 m3 payload bay is large enough to carry 25-30 people if NASA’s 17m3 of space per crew holds true

Stop doomering it though - obvious SpaceX is prioritizing performance and HLS and Tankers don’t need a huge bay

dang, guess sometimes architecture does make a difference

5) (and most important) the problem isn’t that a few 100 story buildings are going up, it’s that not nearly enough 30, 20, and 5-story buildings are going up

When I think of 1929, the first thing that comes to my mind is the year the stock market bubble crashed, and the Great Depression followed. I always subconsciously equated 1929 as the period of “excess”. So I was admittedly surprised to learn from Morgan Housel’s recent podcast that nearly 60% Americans were living under poverty in 1929 even before the economy collapsed.

Perhaps the even more surprising thing is really the depth of the depression which is quite hard to fathom for us. Housel mentioned in 1932, the total amount of money paid out in wages in the US was 60% less than in 1929!!

Forget 60%, just imagine how we would cope if it were even low single digit decline few years down the line. The more I am aware of history, the less I feel inclined to complain about anything. Our lives are immeasurably better in almost every dimension. What our predecessors had to go through to gift us the world of today perhaps remains deeply underappreciated.

The more I read/listen @morganhousel, I often I think about this sentence: "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days, before you've actually left them". I am increasingly convinced that the “good old days” are actually waiting to unfold "tomorrow".

@ItaiYanai An important consequence of Medawar’s reflections:

If the key to new discoveries are not conclusions from random observations but the hypotheses that guide our attention, then our basic philosophy of what constitues life and reality are crucial to successful science.

@ItaiYanai That's why every scientist should have a blog for explaining the thought process without going through another round of reviews

People think AGI robots are gonna look like C3PO or something. In reality, a hyper optimized robot built by a process we may not even be able to fathom would look a lot more like the mechanisms for RNA transcription or something.

I love how a country's infrastructure can tell a political story

For example, France's high speed train map hints at a very centralised country

Elon doesn't understand economics. He wants to try "shock therapy," or the rapid privatization of government assets, to pay off debt in the U.S.

This led to Russia's collapse in the 1990s and riots in Argentina in the 1980s and 90s. 1/

Inventing new things isn't exclusive to exceptionally smart people. It doesn't require deep knowledge or extensive practice. It's inherent to the way human intelligence works.

Alaska is funny. A place where Democrats regularly win the rural vote and it’s Republicans who are reliant on the cities (suburbs/exurbs really).
