I find this device from the Manalis lab at MIT, quite remarkable: ki-images.mit.edu/2011/delgado-1 By measuring the resonant frequency of a cantilever through which growing cells are flown back and forth, it can weight the cells to remarkable precision (often 0.1% of their mass). 1/2

Just went to Sanxingdui and my mind is blown by the bronze artifacts there from about 3,200 years ago. This is concurrent with the Shang dynasty (oracle bone culture) but they didn’t do any oracle bones or writing that we can find. These bronzes were probably ritual objects for centuries before being cast into pits. Why? We don’t know!

It’s a 3 coffee kinda morning! First up an orange cold brew with milk foam at painfully hipster Commonsense Cafe. Followed by a criminally delicious buttered Americano at Luckin!

« Debates about whether it amounts to genocide continue. » OMG everybody cancel Bethany now! She’s a Xinjiang Genocide Denier! Seriously…it wasn’t that long ago when ppl were declared persona non-grata simply for gently asking if it’s a genocide. Now Bethany is doing it 😂 Anyhow…noticing patterns. The promulgators of the Xinjiang Genocide narrative will never admit that they were wrong, but they will move goalposts and launder their most egregious claims out of their discourse bit by bit while always keeping an accusatory finger pointed at CHOYNA.
Bethany 貝書穎@BethanyAllenEbr

Here's the factual reality: Evidence for profound crimes against humanity in Xinjiang is so extensive, so well-documented by so many people around the world for so many years, that it is undeniable. Debates about whether it amounts to genocide continue.

Perhaps Brian Hioe had other information sources for his claim this morning that the "two are expected to hold a press conference"?

Here in #Taiwan, another example of inaccurate commentary. This morning, @BrianHioe posted "Xi Jinping and Cheng Li-wun are to meet this morning, the two are expected to hold a press conference around 2pm". He included a link to a United Daily News article.

The Ito Files, Part 3: How Joi Ito Secretly Funneled Money From Epstein's Network to MIT In this post, I cross-reference government financial filings with the Epstein files. "The slush fund, if it's at MIT, is easy. Will it be coming from Leon Black? How much?" [EFTA01927822] When half a million arrived, "$500K came into my slush fund account. Thanks! Should I thank Leon Black?" [EFTA02584438] That Leon Black. From the contemporaneous journal of a woman who... knew him: "Walk down Madison Avenue to 71st St. My mother has lost her fucking mind. Even though Ghislane said it was best to take me home because Mr. Black is so important for some reason over my health. There is going to be hell to pay. I ruined their trip and I am dramatic when that fat fuck bit me! He threw me on the floor and blood all over Jeffreys carpet and I am the issue? Who the fuck bites someone? Sick! No one is that important and Leon can go fuck himself." [EFTA00155037] The Wires Southern Financial LLC. U.S. Virgin Islands. February 25, 2013. Sole owner: Jeffrey Epstein's Southern Trust Company. Stated purpose: "any lawful business." [EFTA01282465] Never forget to emphasize that your business is lawful. That's completely normal. Southern Financial wired $1,000,001 to Joi Ito personally. [EFTA01285003] Southern Financial wired $1,000,000 to Ito's venture fund, Neoteny 3. [EFTA01285436] Epstein's AmEx Centurion card paid for Ito's island flights — $2,202.75, American Airlines Business Class, Boston to St. Thomas, July 4th weekend 2013. [EFTA01189052] Ito: "How does getting to Jeffrey's island work?" [EFTA02135772] Answer: "We will purchase you a ticket to St Thomas. Jeffrey can have his helicopter pick you up. Be sure to take your passport." [EFTA02135772] TD Ameritrade wire records show what flowed through Southern Financial: $4 million on May 12, 2014. $2.45 million on September 13, 2017 — originator listed as "SOUTHERN FINANCIAL LLC C/O HBRK ASSOCIATES, INC, 575 LEXINGTON AVENUE, 4TH FLOOR." [EFTA01268324] The $5 Million Leon Black, co-founder of Apollo Global Management. Epstein drafted the pledge letter: "What should the letter from Leon Black say?" [EFTA02596966] Ito: "Making template. Is it for 5M?" [EFTA02597096] Epstein: "Binding pledge for 5M, 1M on signing, balance within a year." [EFTA02597828] The signed pledge exists. Apollo headquarters letterhead, 445 Park Avenue. $5,000,000 Irrevocable Pledge. [EFTA02705182] When MIT compliance asked whether to recognize Black's anonymous gift, Ito forwarded the question to Epstein: "Assume no, right?" [EFTA02384617] Why "assume no"? Why was Ito always trying to hide where the money was coming from? But four years later, MIT caught it. Ito to Epstein: "We were able to keep the Leon Black money, but the $25K from your foundation is getting bounced by MIT back to ASU." [HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025598] Epstein was specifically the problem. And Ito knew. Epstein: "No problem. Trying to get more Black for you." [HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025598] And that was February 2019. Four months before arrest. Man. No wonder Ito was trying to hide the money. Ito, this year: "Until the reports leading to his arrest, I did not know that Mr. Jeffrey Epstein had engaged in the malicious criminal acts." The Fund Ito asked Epstein for $15 million, matching Reid Hoffman's $15 million, for Ito's Neoteny 4 venture fund. The word neoteny refers to having the appearance of a child. "$15M from you to match? This would get me to the minimum 30M." [EFTA02521287] Hoffman pitched Epstein directly: "Joi says that you're on the fence around investing in the fund — worth scheduling a Skype call?" [EFTA02663427] Epstein sold it to his network: To Nicole Junkermann: "It is the cutting edge of tech, and the inside players." [EFTA02554502] "Sultan would like to see the deck :)" [EFTA02534943] After all of it, Epstein pitching sultans, Hoffman calling in favors, Ito begging for a $15 million match, SEC filings show Neoteny 4 raised $6.6 million from 4 investors. Target: $50 million. [sec_form_d] When MIT compliance blocked an Epstein payment, the money rerouted through Andrew Farkas. Farkas wasn't a mere Harvard benefactor — he was a co-trustee of The Jeffrey E. Epstein 2012 Trust alongside Darren Indyke and Jes Staley. [EFTA01266359] Epstein to Ito, May 2019: "I can have Andrew Farkas fund plant guys." [HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025606] Epstein's own estate trustee as a pass-through funder for MIT. MIT kept flagging the funds. So Ito used an intermediary to hide them. Two months before Epstein's arrest. Ito, this year: "Until the reports leading to his arrest, I did not know that Mr. Jeffrey Epstein had engaged in the malicious criminal acts." "Structures of Blockers" None of this was accidental. Barnaby Marsh, Epstein's philanthropic architect: "For Joi — first question is whether this is connected with MIT (overhead) or goes another route. The latter seems desirable." [EFTA01748254] Epstein: "Do you think I need to route my support of Joscha through some blockers?" [EFTA02460631] Ito: "Can you and I talk about structures of blockers?" [EFTA02460631] Ito proposed concealment for Leon Black: "I saw you were on Leon's foundation. How about participating via a vehicle where you are a board member?" [EFTA01748705] The C.O.U.Q. Foundation, one of two anonymous donation shells identified in MIT's internal investigation, has zero IRS filings of any kind. No 990. No exempt org record. A donation conduit with zero federal tax footprint. Registered near Epstein's Palm Beach residence. [FL SOS] On July 8, 2019, two days after Epstein's arrest, Charles Schwab's Financial Crimes unit flagged: Jeffrey Epstein, Southern Trust Company, Southern Financial LLC, Richard Kahn. Accounts opened just three months earlier. [EFTA01265973] That same month, HBRK Associates, Kahn's entity at 575 Lexington, received $5 million in wire transfers to its "LSJE" sub-account. [EFTA01596053] LSJE. Little Saint James Epstein. Five million dollars flowing to the island account while its owner sat in a cell. The men who controlled these entities, Kahn and Indyke, made coordinated maximum donations to Stacey Plaskett, the USVI Delegate to Congress. Three consecutive election cycles. Same dates. Same amounts. [fec_individual_contributions] Plaskett represents the jurisdiction where every Epstein entity is registered. She later sat on the House Judiciary Committee. All of this is to say: The entity that paid Ito $2 million was a subsidiary of the entity funding island operations. Same infrastructure. Same people. Same addresses. Same political connections. The Collapse July 6, 2019: arrested. August 10: dead. Ito's board departures: His position at the MacArthur Foundation: "DIRECTOR UNTIL 9/7/2019" [irs_990_officers] His position at the Knight Foundation: "TRUSTEE (PARTIAL YEAR)" His position at the New York Times: last SEC filing July 29, 23 days after arrest Plus, MIT Media Lab, Creative Commons, Technology Review, Japan Society, Code-To-Learn: all gone While Ito sat on those boards, Knight Foundation and MacArthur Foundation sent $8.9 million to MIT. After he resigned, the flow collapsed 84%. Knight's grants to MIT dropped 95.9% — from $729,000 to $70,000. [irs_990_grants] Gratitude America, Epstein's foundation, froze. Assets locked at exactly $8,175,884 for three consecutive years. $1 revenue. $0 expenses. $0 grants. [irs_990_returns] Ito had lost everything in the aftermath. So he left the country. He left for Japan. Today he is the president at the Chiba Institute of Technology. He says he never saw anything. He insists that when he spoke of "Japan/dogs" in the files, he was referencing his own pets. His statement (joi.ito.com/weblog/2026/03…): "I never witnessed, or became aware of any evidence of, the horrific conduct." He never saw anything. He was just helping to run -- and hide -- the money. July 21, 2013, Epstein asked Ito: "how much of your daily conversation, attitude, posture in a social setting is really true, as opposed to laced with deception?" Ito: "I feel like most of my daily conversation involves hiding or some sort of deception at some level because most of the people I interact with are part of an ecosystem where I am motivated to direct the conversation or the person I'm interacting with to a particular belief or action." [EFTA01756498] When "most of your daily conversation involves hiding or some sort of deception", it's easy to jump ship to a president's post at a major Japanese university. All you have to do is lie. "When I talk to you, Reid and others... I'm much more clear." [EFTA01756498]

요즘 국한문·CJK 통합 입력기 비슷한 걸 만들어 보고 있습니다. 일단은 웹 앱으로 프로토타이핑을 얼추 했는데요. 영상으로 보이는 것처럼 “daxueshengeun hakubutsukane ganda”와 같이 중국어와 일본어와 한국어를 섞어서 「大學生은 博物館에 간다」 같은 문장을 완성할 수 있습니다.
