I'll never forget that day. Waking up from explosions at 5am. Frantic calls with family & friends. Decision paralysis, not being sure whether it's safer to stay and risk being occupied by fascist murderers, or flee through roads that may get jammed and attacked at vital points.
What an amazing startup post mortem. So many great insights. Big ups @davidkjelkerud
We closed shop on Whywhywhy, our startup in the analytics space. Not what we wanted obviously, but learned a ton and decided to share some of it: whywhywhy.com/what-we-learne…

Incredible heat forecast for many parts of central & northern Europe over the New Year. Up to 16-20°C above average.
Possible all time national temperature records for both December & January could be broken.

Within the next year Russia will spiral into a deep political crisis. There is a nonzero chance that it may scale up existing separatist tendencies leading to the breakup of the empire. In this thread I will outline a model of how this process could look like🧵

Ukrainian rail is so amazingly committed. On the day of liberating Kherson they are already working on restoring service.
It's been a long day. We finally reached #Kherson and start arranging our return with a regular train there. But that's a long story. Take a sit. 🧵
Scientifically proven why WE NEED MORE BASS (8-37Hz). I can also provide some anecdotical accounts that “Fuck yeah that’s true”.

If this checks out, it is almost certainly the biggest news story of the week, and is in the top five for the year. Absolutely insane. I really hope Biden knows what he's doing.

E-bikes are as close to a silver bullet for achieving net zero as you can get.
'3 studies indicated a reduction in car use of 20% - 30%'
We should be moving heaven and earth to enable their uptake
Summary of 107 academic studies about e-bikes:
🔷 Use of e-bikes "is associated with lower energy and emissions."
🔷 E-bike riding "is a form of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity."
🔷 E-bikes "can cause a significant modal shift."

Wondering how successful those new Paris bike-lanes have been? New cyclists account for almost 6 in 10 users of new protected lanes. More women are on bikes. And 62% of residents of the Paris Region want the new bike-lanes to be made permanent. Via @roadcc road.cc/content/news/6-10-us…
