You cannot beat the hate out of a person, but you can love it out of them. I am living proof that friendship, love, and patience can transform the hearts of those you once thought were beyond reach.

So Amazon has just put the Tasting History Cookbook on sale for $7.99!! The publisher says this is rare and won't last because Amazon takes the loss, not me : ) So if you've been waiting, now's the time to buy it. amzn.to/3YMIz95

The idea of eSIMs is flawed for precisely the reason that it makes these kinds of carrier shenanigans possible in the first place. It was obvious from the moment it was proposed that this would lead to returning carrier control to activations a-la CDMA prior to RUIM.

It's said that desperate times call for desperate measures, i.e. tactics that violate norms and laws. So beware groups that constantly convince themselves that times are desperate. They live in a delusion in which desperate measures are always justified to achieve their goals.

Here's a clip from episode 232 in which @AdamMGrant discusses the psychology of polarization and the dangers of anchoring our identities to our beliefs instead of our values: omny.fm/shows/you-are-not-so…

The US has not always reflected the ideals of its constitution, but I continue to see it as the hope of those ideals.
If you wonder how the US has failed or why it could be believed in, let me introduce you to Frederick Douglass:

“When you’re going in the wrong direction, progress is an about face.”
I’ve been teaching my kids this lately, and I’m shocked to realize how much it applies for my own life. The quicker I can identify the error and OWN IT, the quicker my life improves.

Non-native English speakers are at a disadvantage when writing scientific papers.
Much of our first exposure to "technical English" has been reading papers written by non natives.
So, reviewers: please refrain from considering writing style as criterion for acceptance.

I refuse to acknowledge Fahrenheit anymore, just use Celsius like the rest of us. Oh, it's 85 degrees where you live? Well you're all on fire then, aren't you.

In rocketry, this is a rare event that might happen once or twice in an engineer's career. The great thing about being a game developer is that you can experience similar things every day just in the normal course of writing and debugging your code.

I don't know about this specific case, but I will say that even if your scientific critics *are* trolls, they could be right. It's the points, the arguments, that matter, not the people.

It is @Wikipedia 's 20th anniversary today. It is hard to remember from today's perspective how viciously the idea of a publicly edited encyclopedia was mocked by many traditional gatekeepers of knowledge. It is hard to imagine a better refutation.

Name order is a function of language & convention, not personal identity. That Japanese tend to preserve western order while speaking Japanese is itself a problem.
Leaders who dictate to foreign press that their own language's grammar be used are not the sort to be emulated.

The idea that cultural heritage is solely what you take from your ancestry, your childhood experience, or your skin color is a lie.
Cultural heritage is something you build through your entire life.
