@culturaltutor Architecture is the time stamp of the fabric of a civilisation. It is a dichotomy between art and values.

@krate27 @wassielawyer Easy to guess which one is it

@wassielawyer hard to guess racism vs satire here, knowing you satire i suppose

This is a cracked team. Forbes30u30 = fraud conviction waiting room Chinese = 50% chance any valuable tech is re-sold under a Chinese brand, 50% chance its espionage. Indian = 100% chance any AI is an Indian sweatshop. Ivy League = SV mafia will pump it. Do an ICO please.

Always have been and it will stay like that for unforeseeable future

Why is 1990s nostalgia still so dominant compared to other decades?

Office life before the invention of AutoCAD and other drafting software. Prior to the release of AutoCAD in 1982, engineering drawings were all done by hand using different grade pencils, erasers, T-squares and set squares.

I firmly believe that we can literally feel the amount of handmade human care put into something. That’s why the old animated films often feel like they have more “soul.” That is the expression of human care you’re sensing. I hope we don’t lose this.

@DamonZumbroegel @juchkuduk This is exactly what it means! I’m glad you get its true essence. It could also be called “being relentlessly resourceful” like the Paul graham article. Don’t have the right resources? Make it work! paulgraham.com/relres.html

It’s actually “Jerry Rig”, but that does not really do it. That is more like…..winging it to work for a bit. The only English word I know that compares is to “Mc Gyver it”. Mc Gyver is a famous character in a TV show in the West….and he was adept at finding solutions with what he had on hand.

“Jugaad” might be my new favorite word. A word to sum up my way of Life. The West does not have a word to equal this.

China absolutely decimating every corner of the world’s oceans is without question the biggest environmental catastrophe happening right now, as in an actual ecological disaster, yet the “save the planet” grifters never talk about it, while forcing us to use paper straws.

@Rainmaker1973 In architecture we called it bio mimicry

The first principle

@sytaylor @WSJ That is not the Federal Reserve’s logo

🚨 BREAKING: Kraken just became the first crypto-native firm to get a Federal Reserve master account. 5.5 years after applying, the Kansas Fed has approved according to @WSJ But this isn't the same as what most big banks have. It's a "skinny master account" --- A standard Fed master account gives a bank direct access to the Fed's payment rails, reserves, and lending facilities. It's the foundation of the US banking system. Kraken got something narrower. A "limited-purpose" version — designed by Fed Governor Christopher Waller — that lets you: ✓ Hold reserves at the Fed ✓ Settle payments in central bank money ✗ No lending ✗ No discount window ✗ No deposit-taking It's the payments plumbing without the balance sheet risk. --- The Fed is treating Kraken as a pilot. Waller wants the skinny master account framework finalized by end of 2025. --- But the queue is already forming. - Custodia Bank has been litigating the Fed since 2022 over a denied application. - Anchorage Digital (OCC-chartered) applied. - Ripple's US banking partner applied. The implicit signal here is easy to miss. The era of crypto being structurally locked out of dollar settlement infrastructure just ended. What fills that gap — and who controls it — is the next fight.

Soon the whales will have nothing to eat and food chains will collapse due to Chinese fleets inability to have any self control

I have been saying this for a long time: our future will be more aesthetic (again). Because robots will drive costs for beautiful design down we will see beautiful gardens, houses, sculptures, wood works, etc everywhere.

Saurav is a generational builder and engineer. It’s been so crazy to see this team quietly build a monster business over the past year, glad i can finally talk about it

It all started with a tweet. Visual Exploration for #OpenClaw Studio @georgepickett
