If Tesla makes a car with 3 rows of seats, each with its own pair of doors so nobody has to climb over anybody else to get to their seat, they will create a baby boom the likes of which we haven’t seen in 80 years

The US fell behind because the FAA blocked consumer drones.

Chris Anderson (@chr1sa) was a drone founder. He tells some of the story here.

The simplest way I can say it is this:

Nuclear can supply all the developed worlds base load energy demand with the minimum of land, materials, and labor.

It's expensive because of bureaucracy. End of discussion.

You can now short the Party with cryptocurrency.

Take any NYT headline, figure out how Sulzberger’s employees are lying this time, and turn it into a prediction market.

Once the Party is forced to accept reality, collect your money. Rinse and repeat.

Milei's 2024 Davos talk, directly translated to English by AI (by heygen), in his own accent. Better than the dubbed version imo.

The wrong way for the elite universities to dig themselves out their reputational hole: restrict speech even more. Instead:
1. Clear & coherent free speech policy.
2. Institutional neutrality: Universities are forums, not protagonists.
3. Force prohibited: No more heckler's vetoes, building takeovers, classroom invasions, intimidations, blockades, assaults.
4. Disempower DEI bureaucrats, responsible to no one, who have turned campuses into laughingstocks.
5. Viewpoint diversity: Discourage political & intellectual monocultures (including hard-left/PoMo/"intersectional").

ever wonder what happens when you short 100 car batteries wired in parallel?

me too! it's time to answer this age old question.

There were two funding cutouts between the NIH and the reckless coronavirus gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology: (1) Peter Daszak on NIH grant AI110864, and (2) Peter Hotez on NIH grant AI098775.

Finnish electricity price drops BELOW ZERO after the latest nuclear reactor is switched on.

That is what the world could have looked like if the greens did not stop humanity from expanding nuclear power.

Remember: nuclear power = no CO2 emissions!

Look in the upper arm of this galaxy- you'll see a star appear to blink in and out of existence. That's a supernova! Very recently discovered in m101: the Pinwheel galaxy (which I happened to be shooting when this happened)

Stripe Treasury should launch a feature to spread assets across FDIC banks.

Charge for the liquidity management.
Automate the cash movement.

Not easy, but most of the infrastructure is already built.

It’s absolutely stupid that if you have $2.5M the government insures $250k of your money if you keep it at one bank, but insures all of it if you keep it at ten banks

Roundabouts get you an 86% reduction in the rate of fatal crashes, but some weirdos at a public hearing said they're confusing, so who's to say what's right?

[roon @tszzl]

worst part abt the EU as a ‘regulatory superpower’ is that they really don’t seem very good at legal innovation. their environmental policy is a tour de force in doing nothing while pretending to do everything
