Quantum computing person here- what you’re looking at is a dilution refrigerator, which is a type of cryostat that can reach as low as .2% of a degree above absolute zero.

It’s technically the housing that the computer lives in, but the actual quantum computer looks really boring compared to this.

The hotel I’m randomly staying at happens to have a quantum computing conference going on, and has a model quantum computer in the lobby

Sort of interesting…
Ozone is in the upper atmosphere in northern latitudes, and causes nausea and headaches (it’s not dangerous)

Newer planes made for those flights have ozone filters

But when ozone is in unusual areas, planes don’t have filters, and the only fix is to fly low and burn extra fuel

My wife has been working 7 days a week for the last month, and her app is just two days away from launch. Based on their trajectory they’re a few thousand downloads away from ranking in the top 10 of the entire App Store. Can you do what I promise will be an enjoyable favor and preorder the game?

If you think about it…
People who were 30 in 2010 are now 46.
People over 65 don’t care about health insurance at all.
Only the slice of the population from ages 46-65 know how bad it was, before, and want to not go back.
For anyone too young to remember what it was like before ACA…

IT WAS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE.
One of the most important provisions of the ACA was eliminating pre-existing conditions exclusions from insurance plans.

Folks need to be reminded that if the ACA goes away, so does that provision.

Meanwhile Trump is reposting a bizarre conspiracy theory that Obamacare pays Barack Obama millions in royalties for use of his name

(The theory originated with a satire site called the Dunning-Kruger Times)

You can’t negotiate with that

A 50-year mortgage, at current 6.2% interest rate, is only about a 5% higher payment than a 50 billion year mortgage (interest only mortgage)
ok but how about a 50 billion year mortgage

If James Watson had died at 79, he would be remembered as a genius and a legend. Instead he lived until 97, and will be remembered for spending the final 18 years of his life as an outspoken racist and sexist.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers
