Had a ton of fun presenting about why BMI is a fundamentally limited metric for understanding health and wellbeing at #JSM2024 yesterday! Shoutout to @ilona_maher for giving eating disorder/weight stigma researchers one of the most badass quotes of all time for our presentations.

@hermittoday MS Excel is probably the biggest in 50 years. Playground for all data for all companies and the most used programming environment of all time.

@disco_lu "Options card" Some options cards are simple (at the top, a segmented options card) and others have nested actions (bottom set).

Here's another "what would you call it?" game 🎡 What would you call these individual, tappable regions? They: 1) Link out to separate screens 2) The entire region is tappable 3) Can have nested actions within them

@TRUmav Ben I’ve done a lot of experiments in this and I have recommendations both for mailers but also for super niche digital ads platforms! Would love to show you! I’m at @helpfullyteam.

@elidourado I think @LIFTAircraft is going the same route! And they're already flying civilians in Austin, Tx and Tampa, Fl (using FAA ultralight designation). I've been following along and watched their design evolve, and yeah, it takes more rotors than you think. And 15 min flight time?!

To Balaji’s point, FAA indeed moves very slowly. But there is an important difference between Chinese “flying cars” and American designs. The Chinese designs are all basically scaled up quadcopters. They don’t have wings. This means that all of the lift is provided by the rotors throughout the entire flight. These vehicles have a high disc loading, and their motors have to operate at a high fraction of their maximum output throughout the entire flight. This high-power design has two consequences. First, it is not very efficient because the motors have to generate lift the entire time. This will impose significant range limitations relative to a winged design, holding battery technology constant. Second, consistently high power output in the motors means there isn’t as much safety margin if you have to surge power. If you need to maneuver, or account for rotor or motor failure, you just don’t have a lot of extra juice available. This isn’t great for a vehicle that carries humans. If you look at US “flying car” startups, none of them are going for the scaled-up quadcopter design. This isn’t just because of FAA regulation, although I don’t think FAA would approve these. It’s because tilt wings and tilt rotors are better. It’s possible a Chinese company will pivot from multirotor to a winged design, but I would bet against scaled-up multirotor vehicles as being the future of human transportation. It would be great if we had good designs and a faster regulator. And, for that matter, battery tech that would make these vehicles viable (lfg, @Ourosenergy).

We wanted flying cars. We got them with Chinese characters.

FUTURIST wanted. I am on the board of a large regional grocer. They are looking for a couple "futurists" who can help them think about how things will be in ~20 years. Anyone out there you'd recommend? Or is this you? DM me.

@ugmonk I like both! But I guess bright white gets the edge for me. Honestly, just “super thiccc” and with a great texture is more important to me. I don’t buy notebooks in a store unless I can touch the paper to confirm quality.

Quick poll: For notebooks do you prefer bright white or off-white paper?
