Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported These early adopters found out what happened when a cutting-edge marvel became an obsolete gadget... inside their bodies.

This article lives in my head rent free. I shudder to think how it will turn out with neuralink

'The Caesars Palace Coup: How a Billionaire Brawl Over the Famous Casino Exposed the Corruption of the Private Equity Industry'. I am not in finance, don't know much about private equity but this one was surprisingly good.

The music cuts off awkwardly before the end, but this is an incredible NYC Halloween costume compilation.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

I enjoyed "New Nakamia", not sure where it got that from.

This 345 Park situation is pretty scary. Hope everyone else in the building is ok. It’s a big property and I know a lot of people had to shelter in place while this was happening

Ruggable- especially if you have pets. They wash well and are easy to maintain. They have some Iris Apfel designs that are eye-catching.

Saw the same thing unfold with a much respected colleague. He was disproportionately mad about the whole thing and it did not make sense until I found out he was getting regular whatsapp updates.

Its misinformation proliferated through trusted networks. Eventually people stop questioning the info.

The Crafters of β€œAndor” - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Like so many folks, I really loved Andor. But what’s amazing and special is that a lot of the most gifted artists and creators behind the show have been incredibly open about their creative process behind their work on the series. Here’s a roundup of interviews with those geniuses:

Why Walking Helps Us Think Since at least the time of Greek philosophers, many writers have discovered a deep, intuitive connection between walking, thinking, and writing.

Agree - I just had a slice of sour dough bread topped with cottage cheese, wild tomatoes, olive oil and pepper. Good enough for an evening meal.

Good luck! You'll do well.
Btw, do you mean 4-5 hrs/week saved in commuting? 4-5hrs every day is a lot (I say this as someone with a 1.5hr commute one way)

That's an interesting exchange. Grok's response is very male coded and not very different from the average Indian on social media. Wonder what their training data looks like and how it responds to female users. I don't get the point of the tool or its mimicking abilities though.

Elon Musk, apartheid, and America's new boycott movement If you think mass protests can’t combat evil, remember what we did in the 1980s.

1/ The nascent Tesla boycott movement got me thinking back to the 80s anti-apartheid movement. How it took off and literally changed the world.

If the South African apartheid regime could be brought down, perhaps one South African oligarch could be? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A piece of history every Indian should know is that the United Nations International School in New York was started by a Keralite Christian who discovered that even Jesuit schools in Manhattan wouldn't take his son.

KT Behanan was a political and diplomatic rock star from a famous family.

Perks of rail travel. There's zero chance of making that trip in 13mins by road, considering Hyderabad traffic.

Same. Pettiness and ego was how I understood it. I assumed Pelosi of all people can see it’s not business as usual - her husband was attacked and mocked afterwards.
