There is no paradox. The Democrat party has had 20+ years of uncontested power in California. They have had the chance to do everything they want. They have failed. They either need to acknowledge their failures and fix them or California needs sweeping change.

The @SpaceX Starship video here - it's gorgeous.

その後、アメリカの著名なエンジェル投資家である、Tom McInerney様に市役所にお越しいただき、懇談させていただきました。 Tom McInerney様は日本文化への関心が高く、今回、京都のカルチャープレナー（文化起業家）を訪問されていらっしゃる中、お時間をいただくことができました。 Tom McInerney様が訪問されたカルチャープレナーの皆様は、文化振興とビジネスを両立させる新しいビジネスモデルを実践している存在で、京都市としてもカルチャープレナーを支援する仕組みをどう作っていくのか検討しているところで、Tom McInerney様におかれても、京都市の取組に賛同いただき、支援いただきたいことをお願い申し上げました。 貴重なお時間をいただき、誠にありがとうございました。

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

If there is one thing you take from this pod, it’s this: socialism corrupts more profoundly than simple words can express, and as the grift gets tougher, the socialists inevitably move from propaganda to oppression as the primary motivating approach. Don’t let it happen here!

@SawyerMerritt @elonmusk @Starlink Crazy that @delta went with a different provider!

Emirates executive Patrick Brannelly in new interview on why they adopted @Starlink: "The legacy systems weren’t working. No matter how much money we threw at them, passengers still complained, and it was impossible technically for everybody that wanted to connect to connect. Then Starlink came along saying, ‘We guarantee it, it will work.’ With a very pragmatic technical viewpoint, insisting on XWAPs, to connect 100%, and to install more than one antenna to handle demand and for redundancy. It was like for the first time, talking to people that actually understood how the internet works in a highly dense environment on an aircraft. It seemed our legacy connectivity industry didn’t really understand the core technologies needed to deliver customer connectivity happiness. But Starlink absolutely understood it. Now, in addition, the big fundamental shift from the first generation of Starlink was the evolution of satellite-to-satellite laser connectivity. So, if you’re a middle of the ocean, where you’ve got nowhere to ground the traffic, Starlink could just pass the traffic through adjacent satellites until there’s one over a ground station. That worked much better than I think anybody had imagined." Emirates has already started to install Starlink on its entire fleet of ~232 aircraft, with full completion expected by mid-2027. Customers onboard with Starlink are already seeing 10-20X internet speed improvements. (full SatelliteToday interview linked below)

@davidu @cyantist Let’s fund this!

My hot take of the day is that a Lambda School for electricians, CNC machinists, and other advanced manufacturing roles would do very well for the next 20+ years. Maybe longer.

@Gaurab Incredible

The inside of an LNG carrier: 1.2mm of stainless steel between 174,000 cubic meters of liquid cooled to -162°C and the ocean. At that temperature, flat steel contracts hard enough to crack its own welds within minutes. The waffle pattern stamped into each panel gives the metal room to shrink in every direction without tearing apart. A French company designed this system. It is installed in 80% of the world's LNG fleet, with over 300 new carriers under construction. Every one of them relies on a sheet of steel thinner than a car key, folded into the right shape.

Great quote from a British friend of mine, “…would have better not to blow up our coal stations for likes on instagram and keep them on care and maintenance for moments like this”

@HooverInst So frustrating…

An 8-mile LA bike path from a 2016 voter-approved tax hasn't broken ground, may cost $1.2B, and won't be done until 2031. In California on Your Mind, Hoover's Lee Ohanian asks what $1 billion in transportation improvements would have looked like instead: hoover.org/research/la-an…

QSBS isn't a loophole. It's the only tax break in America that requires you to have created something from nothing. New York is about to eliminate it. Here's why that should matter to everyone, not just founders. cc: @nihalmehta @dhaber @juliepsamuels @davidu @zachweinberg @Trace_Cohen @yrechtman @WillManidis @mattturck @mansourtarek_ @brexton @BillAckman @packyM

@profstonge Pretty soon you end up like North Korea, Cuba, East Berlin etc and you have to build walls to keep people from escaping. She probably would if she could…
