Venice developed two simple architectural solutions to persistent urban problems, both built into the corners of its buildings.

The first addressed safety. Before street lighting existed, the sharp 90-degree corners of narrow alleys provided easy cover for attackers. The city responded by installing smooth, rounded stone blocks that protruded outward, eliminating the recesses where someone could hide.

The second addressed sanitation. Steeply angled stones were fitted at the base of corners frequently used as impromptu urinals. The incline was enough to deflect any stream directly back onto the person responsible.

Both solutions are still visible throughout the city today.

Raza Mohsin needed motor testing equipment for the @VLEKTRA factory. China was too expensive. A local engineer took an advance and delivered something that never worked.

Then someone walked in with a different offer.

No degree. No English. No CV. His only credential was 15 years of working alongside his electrician father.

What happened next is the best argument I've heard for where Pakistan's real talent actually lives.

@MubarizSiddiqui @VLEKTRA I've finally decided to start manufacturing on my own and this episode has played a major part in convincing me. Watched this episode thrice because of the value it offers

the FCC just removed the ban on residential property being converted to commercial in khi. You know what that means? Tomm my neighbour could bribe SBCA and I could wake up to a 15 storey tower shadowing over my house.

@bruhwth124 Is this your bank app? Or KWSB?

- Open a VPS account. Keep allocation at 100% equity, and grow wealth tax free. Get tax credit on salary. Contribute every month
- Avoid direct investment in PSX, unless ETFs. You will not be able to handle volatility, and information asymmetry
- Keep a Savings Account -- if a bank says it cannot be done, push harder
- Keep surplus cash in a Money market fund
- Do not buy a plot. High chance you will lose it all
- Do not invest in apartment project. High chance it will be stranded, and you will lose it all
- Target buying an average of 1 gram of physical gold every month (you can buy every quarter or whatever) -- regardless of price. Do not buy silver, or copper, etc. - unless you manufacture fans for a living
- Max out any available government housing scheme loans; this is the only property you should buy
- Keep renting; this is the most economically efficient decision
- Do not buy anything offered by bancassurance or that says life insurance savings plan. Run for the exit. Block their numbers.
- Do not invest with family.

Traffic in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Public transport remains unaffected by traffic jams due to dedicated, strictly separated priority lanes reserved for buses, taxis, and coaches.

That same Pakistani city makes the 2026 World Cup ball. Adidas announced it in October. They called it the Trionda. Four panels, the fewest any World Cup ball has ever had. Inside one of those panels, there's a chip that tracks the ball's every move and sends the data to referees in real time. It helps them call offsides faster.

The city is Sialkot. Sialkot made the 2014 Brazuca, the 2018 Telstar, and the 2022 Al Rihla. Same factory each time: Forward Sports.

Forward Sports is one of about a thousand soccer ball factories in Sialkot. The city makes about 70% of the world's hand-stitched soccer balls, roughly 40 million balls a year, climbing past 60 million in World Cup years. Around 60,000 people in Sialkot work on soccer balls alone. Pakistan's sports gear exports are on track to hit $1.1 billion this year.

What you're watching is the older method. Workers cut the panels by hand, dip them in coating, dry them on wooden racks, and stitch them together with thread. A skilled stitcher finishes about three balls a day for a few dollars. Those balls still ship out by the millions.

The Trionda gets built with heat. Its four panels get pressed together so the surface comes out smooth, the ball takes less water in the rain, and it flies straighter. The first World Cup ball built this way was the 2006 Teamgeist. Sialkot lost the contract that year. The 2006 and 2010 balls came out of factories in China and Thailand. Forward Sports learned heat bonding, won the contract back in 2014, and Adidas has stayed with them since.

The hand stitching in this clip built a billion-dollar export business out of one city. The next ball from that same city has four panels and a chip inside, and it's headed to North America in June.

A typical week across the various deployment projects @TheOceanCleanup:

- a land owner showing up to land rental negotiations with machine guns
- components stuck in customs
- a contractor accidentally driving their excavator into the river
- plastic survey cameras stolen
- geotechnical survey showing soil is more tricky than thought for the anchor piles
- being notified there a gas pipeline running under a proposed deployment site but no one knows exactly where

This work is never boring.

PPPs Karachi: its been 13 days since we’ve last had water in our line. District Central, main road. The plants have started dying. @KWSCOfficial claims 95% of the city is getting water.

Friends…. If you have more than 3 years of experience (2 if it’s awesome), when you make a resume….

-Do not put a picture. It usually decreases your chance of hiring
-Use 11 font for body text, use 11 for title, org and years worked but in bold. 14 for headings, 20 for name.
-Put experience before education.
-You should have a one page resume unless you’re listing papers you authored. Max 2 pages. But please 1 page.
-This should be order:
* Intro: Roughly 3 lines explaining what you bring to the table. This formula is fine:

[Strong adjective/job title] with [X years] experience in [field/industry]. Proven track record in [key achievement/skill area] resulting in [quantifiable impact]. Skilled in [top 2–3 relevant skills]. Seeking to [benefit to employer] at [target company/role]. I prefer third person. Don’t use I or Me. Use your full name.

If not sure put the job description in an LLM and then put your intro and use the prompt: “Does this quickly show why I’m a strong fit for this specific job?” Yes you should personalise this for each job. This is the section recruiters read most. It can’t miss.

* Follow this with a Skills table. A matrix of your competencies.

* Then go into experience. The mistake most people make is the experience reads like a job description. You need to mention quantified achievements here - “Grew revenue by 230% while protecting margins” - “Added 60,000 subscribers on LinkedIn using leadership thinking content” - “Increased retention by average of 14 months while improving Glassdoor rating from 4.3 to 4.5” and so on.
-DO NOT USE TWO COLUMNS. Human eye moves left to right. Two column formats are unintuitive.
