In an age of information overabundance, critical ignoring is as important as critical thinking.

E-bikes are as close to a silver bullet for achieving net zero as you can get. '3 studies indicated a reduction in car use of 20% - 30%' We should be moving heaven and earth to enable their uptake
David Zipper@DavidZipper8 Oct 2022
Summary of 107 academic studies about e-bikes: 🔷 Use of e-bikes "is associated with lower energy and emissions." 🔷 E-bike riding "is a form of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity." 🔷 E-bikes "can cause a significant modal shift." doi.org/10.1016/j.tranpol.20…

As a leader, there may be no skill more important than emotional self-regulation. I struggled with this for a lot of my career (which of course as a woman, made me extra worried about being a trope). Thread >>

Made a playlist for your weekend hike
A screenshot of an empty Spotify playlist titled “Songs people on the trail want to hear from your Bluetooth speaker.” In the space where music usually populates is a sentence: “There doesn’t seem to be anything here.

One day we'll tell stories about how people thought language models were intelligent with the same incredulity of people thinking that cameras steal your soul, or that the train in the movie was actually going to crash into people.

The earliest known photograph of a human. 1838, Paris. The man getting his shoe shined and the shoe-shiner had no idea they were making history.

Fun little trick in the Sunday New York Times crossword yesterday: the central theme clue was "The better of two sci-fi franchises", and regardless of whether you put Star Wars or Star Trek, the crossing clues worked

This 1881 map is an amazing work that shows the travel time from London to... everywhere. Not only is it one of the first isochronic maps (marking distances that could be traveled in the same time) but it drew on steamship tables, post office records, and private voyage records.

Another common question I’m answering working with scaling tech companies is… Q. How much of your r&d spend should be focused on platform work? A. 50%, and most teams are way off what it should be. Let me explain…🧵 (1/21)

This deceiving grid tricks you into thinking there's a curved line somewhere, but you can't find it. The purposefully placed gray lines of squares in a curved formation will induce your peripheral vision to interpolate curved lines [read more: buff.ly/3oKqWXa]

Good thread. I’d go even further: nothing in your stack should be cool. Build your own cool app atop the most boring, reliable, established tech stack you can. If you can’t find a massive site/service using a tool at full scale in a primary function, don’t use it yourself.

Sometimes people ask me what technology they should use to build their new startup. Is it a GraphQL, serverless backend using a document store and a rich front end? It depends. What are you comfortable with and what is going to help you deliver value to customers sooner? 1/?

This series is an absolute mind bender. What if the obesity epidemic (which has accelerated) is entirely caused by human synthesized compounds and has nothing to do with diet, carbs, sugar, fat, calories or anything else we turn to for weight loss? slimemoldtimemold.com/2021/0…
