🌺 My boyfriend's parents booked their regular holiday flights to Hawaii. What happened next is exactly the type of magic we're seeing daily at Arden HQ. Arden imported their itinerary and started optimizing. A few days later it flagged an opportunity: if they added one day to each end of the trip, the price dropped by more than half. They approved the change with a single text. 👍 Arden rebooked the flights. They got over $5,000 back. 😎 🤑 They didn't search for that. They didn't know to look for it. They just... got a text that said "hey, I found something." 💡 Here's what's different about Arden and why I'm so excited about what we're building: it's not a tool you have to remember to open. It's not a website you have to check. It's a proactive agent that is always running in the background, always watching your trips, always looking for opportunities you'd never think to look for yourself. Most travel apps are reactive. You go to them when you have a problem. Arden is proactive. It comes to you. Before the problem, before the missed opportunity, before the money is already spent. So what are you waiting for?

@forallcurious We have imaged molecules before using techniques like atomic force microscopy, this is likely a clearer or more direct visualization, not the first ever.

🚨: FOR THE FIRST TIME, HUMANITY "SAW" A REAL MOLECULE Not an illustration. It's not a 3D render. It's not digital art. It's an actual molecule.

@TexasTamieK Thats not even close to being remotely true. There are more bugs than ever. You dont see them squashed on your windshield because of aerodynamics.

It was common practice in the 1970’s, 80’s and even the early 90’s to wash your windshield when you stopped for gas every week. Bugs galore covered the windshield and front grill on your vehicle. That’s not the case anymore. It’s like the bugs have simply disappeared. No bees, no gnats, no flys or moths. Our skies are being poisoned and killing off the insects. When was the last time you saw snail trails going across the concrete walkway after a heavy rain? When was the last time you saw earthworms wiggling across your driveway after a nice rainstorm? Our skies are being poisoned and contaminating the earths soil and killing them. Eczema and psoriasis are also becoming the norm.

@BGatesIsaPyscho The last time I flew into the UK, they insisted I tell them about my hotel reservations but they wouldn't let me look at my phone. If they warned me to memorize it, I would have done it.

🇺🇸🇬🇧 American Lady tries to Fly to the UK from America “I went to check-in - I was asked for my Visa” “I had to answer a load of questions, including what I do for a living, was I a terrorist?” “The UK are accepting people on boats, who they don’t even know what their name is, or have any record of”

NEWS: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced today that the company is working on a new chip/computer for orbital data-centers called Nvidia Vera Rubin Space-1. "It's going to start data-centers out in space. Of course, in space there's no conduction, no convection, there's just radiation, so we have to figure out how to cool these systems out in space, but we got lots of great engineers working on it."

Here are the prices on Kalshi's "Short Track Speed Skating 2000m relay: Gold Medal Country". It's the wisdom of crowds applied to an event testing the speed of the crowds.

In less than 75 seconds, this exchange between Chloe Malle and Anna Wintour embodies everything I wrote about in “When We’re in Charge” on the difference between old and new styles of leadership. Couldn’t have scripted it better.

@Rainmaker1973 I've always thought the camera operators in videos like these or those that capture surfers are the real extreme athletes.

I like the spirit of this proposal, but "no computer chips" is the wrong thing to use as a gate. Computer logic is fine, and can often improve product design. When the schematics are available, the software is open-source, and the product is designed for serviceability! That should be the gate for "Americana"; is it designed for serviceability? Is it something you can maintain yourself if "Americana" goes out of business?
