How the Solar System moves through space.

@Marketplace @kairyssdal @raratan With a noise canceling headset, I can participate in a deep thoughtful conversation while sitting in a noisy coffee shop. Some parts of the audio metaverse are already here - Dr. Ratan is just showing the future

@abhisi_99 @Metabob_App @jamesluopeng I'm glad you liked it! I tried to balance conceptual and coding, I leaned more on the former because without it, all your time on the latter would be wasted. Let me know if you have any questions on the presentation

Attended the @Metabob_App Bobhacks hackathon workshop last night ! It was an great experience and Learnt about Topic modeling and tomotopy from @benreaves . @jamesluopeng really helped me in understanding how the API works!!

@waltmossberg @ATT @TMobile In 1980 AT&T's summer internship was every bit as coveted as a Google internship is now. They were #1 in signal processing and speech recognition for decades. At a conference if AT&T presented, their session was full. Sad to see how far they have fallen!

@AlenKarabegovic I heard this on @marketplace but I recall that in 1983 student loans had few penalties for late payments, low interest, so many successful grads simply delayed payment as long as possible. Are those included in this statistic?

@andrewkun In 1994 Japan, it was considered it to be for hackers and gamers. Until the 1/17/1995 quake when internet was the best way to get messages to/from survivors.

Imagine what can happen in the next 27 years…

@GlobeIdeas @JonLevyTLB In 2002 I worked with a person who commuted 2 hours each way by train. He was at the office 10-3, but on the train he was sending emails, scheduling meetings, making agendas. And reading. He was very effective as a manager.

Many are convinced that post-pandemic corporate America will have a hybrid workforce, in which most people work remotely and companies save on real estate. But the hybrid workplace is merely an illusion, @JonLevyTLB argues, for four reasons. bos.gl/b2S8tgi

@FBoversight @MarietjeSchaake @Stanford @mollywood @OversightBoard They'd rather self-regulate than have regulations imposed.

Listen to @MarietjeSchaake, international policy director at @Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center and RFOB member, in conversation with @mollywood on how the @OversightBoard is missing the big picture. bit.ly/2RJNPf9 [Transcript available!]

@andrewkun @naz_andalibi And the TVs were advertising supplements and various pharmaceuticals "ask your doctor for ..." and the list of side effects was often read by TTS to ensure every syllable was spoken as fast as possible

@naz_andalibi For a while they had TVs, with the volume on. I really didn’t like that.

@RyanHLevenson @elonmusk If you think i-5 is boring...

@elonmusk if we drive from SFO to Las Vegas in our Tesla can we take a ride in the Boring Tunnel?

@sarahkunst @mollywood @Marketplace user testing of prototypes is more through in more experienced companies, and often uncovers how a feature could be used maliciously. e.g. Tesla, a great company with less experience, has that small window that thieves have discovered takechargeandgo.com/2020/01/06/the…

@OmidyarNetwork @mollywood @Marketplace @operaqueenie #Clubhouse is great for accessibility! All other major SNS can't be used with low vision or while driving or walking.

@DayYagura @DaveInOsaka Worst I experienced was 9/22/1998 in Kyoto and Nara. Roof tiles were flying, many trains stopped running photos.app.goo.gl/egs8mKgaNrWNY2…

@snappycupoftea @Carter_PE In the following days I was setting up our new house to move into, and following on the news. The only broadcaster who had anything insightful to say was the BBC Shortwave.

@Carter_PE at the US Consulate in Osaka, waiting to ask some tax questions. Wondered why they had police buses and such tight security.

@warbenekar1 @kairyssdal @Marketplace If you like to hear Marketplace earlier than its podcast is available, stream KCRW at 2pm PST. I do when I can.
