I guess a better headline would be "Start with a killer application." For aviation it might have been USPS delivering mail by air. Levi's making jeans for miners.

I've had the naked dream a LOT, usually taking place at work. It's the place where I'm most anxious and insecure. Another I've had is being at the top of a very tall skyscraper tha…

Quad/hex would be less efficient and heavier for the same performance (range, speed, service ceiling), but yes, more stable. In this mission, I suspect minimizing weight (as a rocket payload to b…

The tone seems markedly different from his other writing. Breezy, casual, like a friend. Very refreshing.

Huge swaths (40% or so?) of the US live outside of big cities. It's just inconceivable that every one of them is seriously deprived and miserable doing so. They have friends, hobbies, lives that …

> If I had a child, I would have severe qualms with it. Yeah, I'm skeptical. If you had a child, you'd be so spread thin with keeping your kid healthy and safe, while paying for it all, t…

Is this study credible? I mean it was based on 28 men. Are the researchers and their institution, Hangzhou Normal College, legitimate in the field of medical research?

How do you maintain notebooks in production? You use papermill? What about versioning?

Free speech existed before Parler, and it will exist after.

They prioritize form over function in their Lightning cables. Inadequate strain relief is a far more consequential problem in an airplane wing. I can't see Apple practices being applicable to mis…

How much of this will be on dedicated bike paths, how much is bike lanes on car roads? The former is way more pleasant than the latter.
