@IwanLab @pati_marins64 Why create unnecessary confusion though? Why use the UAV acronym that is already taken and widely used for aircraft to refer to something that happens to have 2 perfectly suitable and non-confusing acronyms (UUV and AUV)?

@Hush_Kit And then there's the so-called MiG 3 winter "camouflage"... And it's not just the wings, even the red stars are oversized, just in case you might have poor eyesight.

@AllanPeters You spelled Artemis wrong, otherwise nice job. Your Delta logo was very neat. Delta has gone through a lot of logos. They used to have the colors of the US flag. The current one is just red. Can you bring the blue back? I would also try to mimic the gorgeous 787 wing shape.

@MattZeitlin Rooted in the French Revolution, and then Napoleon, the prepa immerse you in outrageous levels of math. When I did my prepa, there were 14 hours of pure math instruction per week (plus 11 hours of Physics + other stuff) in addition to homework, exams, etc.

@MattZeitlin France runs 2 || higher ed. tracks: open universities and Grandes Écoles born post-Revolution to build a meritocratic technical elite. That track funnels talent through brutal math competition (prépa) into the top jobs with the most power/money, concentrating elite mathematicians

@Hush_Kit My old engineering school.

@pejmannozad Great article! Sharif grads are among the most fascinating people you'll meet. I have married one and I count many among my closest friends. I used to hang out with so many Sharif grads at Stanford that everybody always assumed I had done my undergrad at Sharif instead of France.

[Pejman Nozad @pejmannozad]

Our data identifies nearly 5,000 Sharif University graduates who went on to pursue PhDs from top global universities, overwhelmingly in highly technical fields.

Learn more about them in this article! https://t.co/W6ApSfdaJi

@theodorebeers @Bedil_Khushabi Your modern digital text is great. Modern tools, old tools, all is good if it helps exposing you to good literature. My best exposure to Shahnameh beyond the text, was a 90-hour-long audiobook, narrated with a perfect voice. It made my long commutes infinitely more enjoyable.

@theiaincameron You forgot the most important: history & people. Beyond its geography, Iran is full of Iranians and Iranians have a sense of historical continuity as a people, a nation, and a diverse culture stretching back to at least 2585 years ago. Few countries can rival this aspect of Iran!

@johnternus Hello and Godspeed!

[kaviator @The_Kaviator]

@marcrandolph I agree. There has to be a balance between working hard and working smart. The horse character Boxer in Animal Farm had the motto "I will work harder", which he repeated whenever problems arose and valiantly worked himself to exhaustion. The pigs coldly sold him off to a knacker!

[kaviator @The_Kaviator]

@far_var_din @timand2037 I agree. Every Greek person I have met either in Greece or outside has been warm and friendly. There is an immediate sense of connection that you get when meeting people who come from ancient cultures with subtle and distinct tastes in food, architecture, music, poetry, etc.

@theodorebeers Whoa! This is just getting better and better!

It took me a minute to figure out that kashida was just keshideh (کشیده). The word had such a cool Japanese ring to it I started imagining swords and what not as applied to typography.

Anyway, it looks great!

[kaviator @The_Kaviator]

@pronounced_kyle Excellent idea!

[kaviator @The_Kaviator]

@theodorebeers I love it, very nice job!
