WD40 is named after taking 40 attempts to get the formula for Water Displacement lubricant correct. Vick's Formula 44 cough syrup similar story. You have tried three times to have a conversation with someone or three times to accomplish some task and have failed. My advice, try again.

Marty McFly arrived in the future (2015) Hill Valley 10 years ago today. It was also the "95th launching of the USSA space shuttle", according to this concept art for a 2015 smartphone-like device.
In reality, there were 135 launches from 1981 to 2011, all space shuttles combined.

As an entrepreneur still very much in the battle, but also feeling it. It's nice to see an article reminding us that you don't have to be in your 20s to compete.
The New Age of Entrepreneurship: 70 to 79
The motivations for septuagenarian entrepreneurs include desiring autonomy, pursuing meaningful projects and addressing societal needs.

These are all amazing movies. I love Criterion's list approach to highlighting films 🍿
Exciting that @criterion.bsky.social has a curated list of “Surveillance” related films!
Their list, which includes THX1130, Citizen Four, The Conversation, The Anderson Tapes, & others
inspired me to post a 🧵 with my own surveillance-related film picks

Over 30 prominent scientists call for a ban on the creation of a "mirror cell"--a microbe made of molecules that are mirror images of their natural forms. It could cause a mind-boggling global disaster. Here's my story [gift link] 🧪https://nyti.ms/3OUCXp6

Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said.

Also, faraday bags don't block audio recording. I've seen people put their phones inside a faraday bag without even powering them off.
I remember being in a meeting where one of the conveners got people to put their phones in a Faraday bag.
About 2 hours in someone's phone which was in the bag rang. I laughed my arse off.

Faraday bags barely work, in practice, and prosecutors will try to use them as evidence of criminal intent.
Ditch the faraday bags. Just turn your phone off completely. That's good enough unless you're being specifically targeted by an advanced state adversary's intelligence agency.

I always wonder in systems like the one used in this article whether there's even more information actually available and it's just blocked or maybe soon will be.
