Interesting fact: University of Southhampton developed 5D disks for dense data storage. The capability was acquired by the Arch Foundation which seeks to preserve data longterm. They donated one of the first 5D disks to Elon Musk who placed it in the red Tesla that he sent into Solar orbit on the first Falcon Heavy booster. The disk contains the Foundation Trilogy by Arthur C. Clarke.

Largest in recorded history is a bit of hyperbole. In the 1800s something like 80% of all Americans had the TB bacillus and of those that came down with TB a huge percentage died.

As a kid I learned to see stereograms in 3D by crossing my eyes. Exact same technique. Comes in handy for Mars images today.

Man I would die of shame if I ever wrote something as bad as "it’s not yet clear if the increase in seismic activity is anything more than just an unusually high number of tremors."

All of my business comes from Linkedin. I get inbound leads from content I post to Substack. I then promote it with a pithy summary on Linkedin. I don't encounter any of the stuff in this article. I typically get 5-30K views of my posts and have 38K followers. I was in the first cohort of the LinkedIn Creator Accelerator program which was held the three months before I launched my SaaS. The secret to hacking the algorithm is no secret. Post original content four times a week. Because my SaaS is a data platform on cybersecurity and 95% of my followers are in cybersecurity I get tremendous engagement. I remember all the hacking community deriding Twitter when it launched. Back then the cool kids were on Digg. Now they are on Twitter deriding LinkedIn where they cannot pose as something they are not.

Remember when Cliff Stoll wrote a whole book about how the internet was over-hyped, Silicon Snake Oil? In 1995. We are in the same stage with AI.

Supademo is great for creating interactive demos. You record your screen then script out the actions a user would take. Super simple.

Now I envision a multi-story lunar habitat with a 30 foot diameter well that you have to run on to get from one level to the next. At least to get up. Getting down may just involve jumping down.

Well, I hired my intern in January 2022. He used no-code to launch our product in March of '22. Now he is co-founder and CTO and still has a year to go in school!

I was introduced to monkey management principles at my first job out of school. This was 1982. My boss taught it to me. Has helped me ever after.
