"Every time he chooses to consciously hide his identity, he agonizes over whether it’s time to out himself. Because money & prestige are not enough. Siddhant is waiting for some moment, some sign, that he can finally put his anxieties to rest." @sonipaul https://t.co/mzUyOw2vOw

Academia rewards clever papers over real world impact. That makes it less useful. But it also perpetuates privilege—those with less experience of injustice find it easier to play the game, i.e. work on abstruse problems while ignoring topics that address pressing needs.

Here is the thing to understand about flattening the curve.

It only works if we take necessary measures before they seem necessary.

And if it works, people will think we over-reacted.

We have to be willing to look like we over-reacted.

Here is a great discourse discussion of the differences between Ignition and @GazeboSim, how the two relate, and why you should transition over to Ignition. https://t.co/Y05VWnYP9t

Very helpful guide to use #VSCode to develop ROS applications. Must-read at: https://t.co/DEqqJYLVrM by @KoseTahsincan #goROS #robotics #learnROS #devs

[Adam Savage @donttrythis]

Two of my heroes, @errolmorris & @mrbobodenkirk, got together to apply their unique ways of looking at the world to climate change. The videos are absurd and sad, yet also funny. It’s not a comfy space they create, but it IS loving. I’m kinda amazed. More: https://t.co/mD3AJgFwqB

@BotJunkie Aww!! Give that drone a hug as well. Poor guy has been getting roasted a lot lately :(
