I don't know how old you are but I hope you are young enough that there is enough time left in your life to realize how stupid you've been so far.

Not shipping a “perfect” product to customers (upgrading later), teams working with “error budgets” and having deadlines to meet (that customers expect):
Sounds like software development! Except it’s not: it’s developing a lithography machine inside ASML.

I was asked what's the fanciest ingredient in my kitchen & I showed.
"Vanilla?🙄"
Me: Mexican vanilla. Real vanilla!
"Other vanilla is fake?"
Me: YES! 99% vanilla is chemically synthesized cos vanilla farming is EXTREMELY labor intensive.
"Give us a whiff! Ooh!"
Mexico. Home of everything.

Tomorrow is four years since we lost Beans to brain cancer. We'd be honored in having your support in remembering her with a $24 donation to the Team Beans Infant Brain Tumor Fund.
Every dollar directly supports childhood cancer research at Dana-Farber.

Basically everything worth a hill of beans uses HTTPS; that encrypts from your browser, all the way to the server side. Nothing in between (including, interestingly, your OS and its networking stack) can see the contents barring some MITM corporate nonsense.
This is why public wifi is "safe."

Almost all taste, tho nostalgia helps too.
But nostalgia doesn't make me buy Amul cheese despite it being the only cheese I knew for 20 years. Cos it's a mehh cheese.
Amul butter imo is legit one of the tastiest butters on the planet. Chemistry reasons. A specific additive rooted in history.

Lecture 🧵 that leaves students shocked & amused.
The salt-tequila-lime "shot" is a Marketing gimmick invented by cunning bartenders in Guadalajara to sell crappy tasting inferior tequilas to American businessmen.
Mexicans in Mexico don't drink tequila or mezcal like that.

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them

It feels like fantasy fiction for an old school F1 fan that America can actually pull off 3 races successfully!

Talking phoren travel with students I was asked
"What city impressed you much more than you expected?"
Hands down no contest, Mexico City!
Because of the US media lens, I expected it to be kinda Bombay like. And it is in a few ways. But it is what we hope Bombay was actually like!
What a city!

Didn't we learn anything from COVID-19 pandemic? Hospital closures in the hardest-hit neighborhoods left us completely unprepared & unable to fully respond, and thousands died as a result. Gov #Hochul, Sign the NY Local Input for Community Health Care (LICH) bill into law!

I genuinely believe everyone should attempt to read Moby Dick at least once. Yes it's long. But I'm telling you it is such a fascinating source of period whaling practices mixed with a genuinely interesting narrative about the brutality of working on a 19th century whaling ship

"What's one book you keep insisting others read?"
This if you love the movie! It is a very weird book in a good way! It's a novel in a novel in ways that just the Grandpa-Grandson scenes in movie don't fully capture.
It's like The Office/Spinal Tap of romantic fantasy novels. Unique!

Sidebar. I like how the Department of Homeless Services always refers to the homeless as "clients". Have heard it from their staffers on the street or in subways too. It gives a certain dignity to the homeless. They are clients of services anyone of us might need one day.
NYC officially announced its first Code Blue of the season. It's when it gets too cold outside, generally defined as a full night below 32F/0C incl wind-chill.
This is why so many homeless come to it are bussed to NYC. It is relatively compassionate to the homeless, on a legal & procedural basis.
