@ZachWeiner I automate things for a living (but not textiles so take this with a grain of salt) Cloth is a diamond hard problem. P=NP hard problem. It gets tangled up with other clothing& itself, it gets inverted, scrunched up, and generally doesn't stay nice and properly flat.

If drones can pick up small objects, avoid people and find specific waypoints reliably (charging stations and trash cans) we could create autonomous litter collection flocks for cities

One of the studies that failed to replicate in this excellent new replication audit (“Poverty Impedes Cognitive Function”, published in Science in 2013) has itself been cited 2,295 times. No big deal I’m sure! pnas.org/content/118/44/e21033

The SBA has a lot of powerful authorities that are largely wasted on gas stations and nail salons. Nothing against getting your nails done, I just don't think your ragged cuticles are a market failure. Here's how to reorient the SBA to productivity growth:

In the longer run, Floyd brought people off the fence and *against BLM* twitter.com/GabeGuidarini/stat

We should absolutely name a Moon colony Rivendell, for what it's worth

Added a whole bunch of stuff. Now I have something for every slot at least. Going to bed, hit me up with anything else you can think of.

A lot of people aren’t really aware of how much implicit bias is involved in what you see reported. Biased samples can still be valuable, but if you stick with the assumption that they are evenly distributed around “the truth”, your mental model will be pretty far off. twitter.com/palmerluckey/statu
