We don’t deserve these people
Nearly every phone and computer on Earth relies on one plain-text file to know what time it is.
When a country changes its clocks with a few weeks’ notice, or Morocco pauses daylight saving for Ramadan, someone has to update that file. Since 02005, that someone has been Paul Eggert, a computer science professor at UCLA, who does it as a volunteer.
Take a look at this great data visualization to see the full story:

It took eight prototype generations to build something that sounds simple: a reliable way to know how much water is in a tank.We started around 2021 as Watre.io.
Today, it’s Watabot. The biggest changes happened long before the new interface.
In 2021, Tech Era’s Watre.io became an ASME ISHOW regional winner.That recognition mattered. But field trials brought a different test: harsh weather, poor connectivity and confusing sensor signals. Measuring water was only part of the problem.
Eight generations of concepts and trials taught us where to focus.We now use more efficient, established hardware, while I build our software ecosystem from the ground up. The priority is a dependable solution, not building every component ourselves.
Today, Watabot is deployed across multiple regions in Ghana.What means most is hearing that customers find it useful. A water-level reading matters when it helps someone decide when to refill, what to check or where to direct their attention.
Our latest app refresh builds on those lessons: clearer readings, easier navigation, flexible history and alerts designed to flag meaningful changes without repeatedly notifying you about the same condition.Less guessing. More knowing.
Better water visibility can’t solve every water challenge. But it can help people plan and respond earlier.
Thank you to the customers who kept testing and sharing feedback.Manage water at home, school or work? Let’s talk.

Okay, I’m not saying he’s anywhere near as fast as the Flash, but genuinely, how fast is Spider-Man? ’Cause WTF?

Lol, why do you assume it’s a brag?
If he said he had to go to Gomoa Fetteh next week, would you consider it a brag?

Aliko Dangote reveals that EPCs (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Companies) like Bechtel and co., thought he was crazy.
Those EPCs were quoting amounts like $25 billion to construct the refinery.
So Dangote had create his own EPC. He set up a team of 340 engineers in India. They bought every single bolt and nuts.

Going through my list of "this sounds interesting I should take a closer look (but never actually do) 😅". Something felt off cause mathematically they should take the same time. Watched a bit closer today and realized the red one takes 8 steps instead of 10 for the last cup 🤣
