This resonated strongly. I hated biology as a kid but have been blown away at the wonder of it all as I've started to study it as an adult. I wish more of the magnificence and wonder of it all was conveyed vs the rote memorization that is so commonly taught.

I think the thing I often see missed in these discussions is the cost and time burden imposed by regulation. It's nearly impossible to build power plants in the US today. Launching satellites while hard, solves this problem.

Even if it's more expensive, Spacex will be able to deploy hardware when no one else can because all the gas turbines and existing power plants have been exhausted and the lead time to build new ones is 5+ years out because of the bureaucratic overhead.

it's click-bait, the lane keeping is free and is not going away

Lane keeping is a default feature for free on all tesla's and this article doesn't say it's going away.

I've started wearing sunglasses at night

I've felt for a long time that math notation is just a really bad programming language.

I think a corollary to this is that we should teach math with code.

Believing that one should be able to consume raw milk is not anti-science. Yes pasteurization kills bacteria that can be present in milk which can cause serious harm and also it kills bacteria that can be positive and people should have the right to choose to consume it and sell it with proper disclosures.

Their actual internal deadlines were significantly missed

Can you name a rocket program that was delivered ahead of schedule? I'm not aware of one that exists.

Which highlights how unserious this whole thing is. SLS hardly works and is way behind schedule.

Starship is more flight ready then SLS and new Glenn. It's just not fully reusable yet, so it's not ready by Spacex standards but far ahead of anyone else in the world. They could also use falcon heavy but might as well use Starship, unless they need dragon.

Artemis is a joke. You can tell this is politically motivated by their stance on SLS. If they were serious they would give Spacex the SLS contract for being years and years behind schedule.

The inevitable end of all government compiled lists of people

The big banks are larger then ever because of consolidation and inflation but I do think they're getting disrupted.

I think services like Fidelity are meaningfully disrupting banks. I much rather have my money in a money market fund then a deposit checking account. Most loans are not being held on bank balance sheets any more either, but are getting sold to the market, so they're no longer as critical a part of the financing stack.

And we're still early days on stable tokens and the defi infrastructure around them.

Yeah, big mistake. I consider California and New York as hostile nations when hiring.
