@RichardSocher Have my first tandem flight scheduled for later this month -- I'm stoked.

@edu5_educator @elonmusk I *think* @Maersk thought through electric ships and determined the battery volume and weight would reduce cargo capacity excessively.

I believe they elected to build out renewables (wind and solar) to produce biofuels. https://t.co/u5w2PCkckR

@jonstewart We usually capitalize the T also. But you're right.

@DanteReminick Public education needs to be unbundled into distinct services. Homeschooling parents could do with a stipend and technology grants. Edutech products could finally break free from district-oriented sales cycles and go full B2C like https://t.co/fVoSuBoPq2.

[Eric Nelson @AugmentSoftware]

There is, without doubt, a need to unbundle schooling into distinct services.

@RichardSocher @marc_krenn @_youdotcom_ I think one of the areas of improvement for Google Images and Videos has always been traceability. The same image is found in many places, perhaps with small modifications. A better Images might display clusters of highly-similar results, with a source list.

[Eric Nelson @AugmentSoftware]

@RichardSocher @marc_krenn @_youdotcom_ The value-adding formatting for SO, GH is interesting. How does it adapt to new platforms / "publishers"?

Harder to discern hierarchy with the grid of tiles than a top-down list. Tiles works for images, but I'm not sure it will stand the test of time for text.

@umichwrestling Drone?

@smburns @richneumeister "... in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain."

But perhaps it presumes too much continuity of ambition through the generations.

[Eric Nelson @AugmentSoftware]

@smburns @richneumeister Brings John Adams to mind:
"I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture..."

Congratulations Alisa, you are now a PhD candidate.

@PhotoGuides @paulg Can you add footnotes or index entries?

@SimonAnholt @protajack My thinking: Median Personal Wealth contributes to World Order. E.g. reduces Refugees Generated, controls Birth Rate. But I suppose its effect is indirect, and you're measuring the direct "exports" of a country, rather than its internal infrastructure.
