So NASA quite reasonably stocks a normal distribution of spacesuit sizes, except that the extremes that are not optimised for are not “really big people” and “really small people” but “really big people” and “people who are probably women” 😓

"[Wang] plans to introduce an Amazon Prime-like subscription service...with a membership tier that includes free rides on Meituan’s Mobike two-wheelers" While we worry about sleek single-feature MVPs, Meituan cooks the kitchen sink.

#Data for the day: look at that explosion in #cycling in #London! But the city's report admits reaching "‘peak cycle’...suggesting that significant changes in infrastructure provision and/or travel behaviour may be needed." Let's do it 🚲

Expanding the space of what's possible to think... "A Mathematica notebook is less a record of the user’s calculations than a transcript of their conversation with a polymathic oracle." #science https://t.co/h4G0I2wqUp

Remembering Stephen Hawking, a renowned physicist and ambassador of science. His theories unlocked a universe of possibilities that we & the world are exploring. May you keep flying like superman in microgravity, as you said to astronauts on @Space_Station in 2014

Spent my #InternationalWomensDay catching up with a childhood friend, now kickass math teacher, who's about to leap continents and jobs - making her own adventure, unfurling her ambition. You rock 💪🏽

@British_Airways Thanks but a bit too late on that front! Found out at the gate I had been "cancelled," managed to get on as the last passenger so had to gate-check a not-checking-friendly bag, and finally got in two hours late...

[Allison Rowe @allisonmrowe]

@British_Airways How about just getting my boarding pass for tonight cancelled? (so I can change the flight through my work service) I'll be on hold longer than I'd wait at the airport at this rate...
