As you can see, @BradyHaran needs to keep up his nerdy-ness on @numberphile if he wants to keep Nebraska safe from fires.

@matt_levine Probably not? But Matt should know the SEC is watching. See footnote #30 of the Bitcoin dissent: https://t.co/fyFlbgVqhq

I just published a wildly over-researched article about a question that has been plaguing me for months: Why is this bridge here? https://t.co/RNYZJmu5Fl

@anforhouse It's definitely cars going under it! That's the volume of traffic flow on 494 in that area.

@VictorishB123 Sorry about that! Bit of a hug of death. If you hit "refresh" a couple of times it will come up.

[Tyler Vigen @TylerVigen]

@plattMSP Ha, don't worry! I make a very strong point of not being paid for work like this. It changes what motivates me and enables me to go wherever I want with my work!
