This is why private healthcare is so expensive...
And it's a vicious cycle ~ cost healthcare naik --> insurance naik --> dadadada

A team of world-class engineers spent countless hours designing the Tokyo railway. Ultimately, they produced one of the world's most complex and efficient urban transportation systems.
Decades later, a group of researchers used slime mold to model the Tokyo train network from scratch. They developed a system nearly identical to the real thing within one day.
The slime mold (Physarum polycephalum) was enticed with oat flakes patterned after the Japanese cities surrounding Tokyo. Over the course of 26 hours, the slime mold established nutrient-channeling networks between the oat flakes, which represented the stops along the Tokyo train network, thereby mirroring the logic of the team of engineers.
Now, researchers are using network-based organisms like slime mold to solve human problems beyond urban transportation. Programming robots, solving complex math problems, and devising fire evacuation routes for skyscrapers are among the challenges assigned to slime molds. These organisms can figure out solutions for a fraction of the cost, significantly faster, and as proficiently as a group of world-class experts.
Macam mana sihir/jin syaitan boleh memundurkan masyarakat?
Ada satu jalan di sebuah tempat selalu jadi accident. Instead of kaji punca (jalan tak rata, licin, selekoh tajam, blind spot teruk), local authority pergi panggil orang baca doa halau jin dan syaitan.
Apple CEO Tim Cook on "low manufacturing wage" in China:
"The popular conception is that companies come to China because of low labor costs.
I'm not sure what part of China they go to, but the China stopped being the low labor cost country years ago.
That is not the reason to come to China from a supply point of view. The reason is because of the skill."
The Feynman Technique for learning anything:
Step 1: Identify a topic
Step 2: Explain it to a 5-year-old
Step 3: Study to fill in knowledge gaps
Step 4: Organize, convey, and review
True genius is the ability to simplify, not complicate.
Simple is beautiful.
Went down a rabbit hole for cross-industry innovations (when one industry borrows from another).
Here are 8 gems.
1. James Dyson made a bagless vacuum after seeing how sawmills used cyclone force to eject sawdust.
Treating bloat in Cows.🐄💨 Bloat is a digestive disorder that results from the build up of excessive gas,which can can ultimately lead to death. This method of treatment helps the cow by releasing methane & the flames help the vet gauge the remaining gas left in the cow. 🐄
The 2023 Formula 1 calendar is insane:
• 23 races
• 20 countries
• 5 continents
• 240 hours of flights
Teams will travel 75,000 miles & transport 1,500 tons of equipment.
This makes it a logistical nightmare, so here's a breakdown of how Formula 1 pulls it off.
