It is heartbreaking to see our Maisa's beautiful face in an article about suicide loss. Our daughter was captivated by the wonders of space, loved nature, animals and reading. We’d venture into the night, chasing dark skies and hiking under the stars to witness eclipses, supermoons, and trace constellations with star charts that she had practically memorized. Tragically, she lost her life to suicide. The USA Today article highlights the significantly heightened risk to those with autism/ADHD, to struggle with suicidal thoughts. Hopefully, we can explore how to shape a world that’s gentler, kinder, and more peaceful—a place that embraces sensitive souls, those that think different, are neurodivergent, those grappling with mental illness, or anyone searching for their purpose.

The first whippets powered car
Replying to @ciscoda
A cold-gas thruster fires a high-velocity jet of pressurized nitrogen or air (thousands of PSI) through a nozzle. Standing right next to it delivers a powerful blast that can knock you over, cause blunt trauma or skin injection injuries, and freeze exposed skin from rapid expansion cooling. For Roadster-scale units providing multi-kN thrust, the force is substantial. Stay clear.

Check out my blog on Treasury’s withdrawal of the mixer and unhosted wallet rules. Policy advocacy can take a long time. Everyone clicks on the story of immediate outrage when a bad policy is announced. But while attention may wane, at @coincenter we often spend years pushing for better outcomes. It’s encouraging on days like today when that work pays off. coincenter.org/treasury-just…

Something tells me that Ktulu has always loved Las Vegas. I used to sit next to him at the Circus Circus playing video poker for free drinks. Seems bigger these days.

A single clinical trial of 40 children might have wrongly swayed medical evidence in favour of using Prozac to treat depression in children and adolescents, a group of researchers say. go.nature.com/3U4nY27

🚨 The first RCT of serial ketamine infusions for treatment-resistant bipolar depression just landed in JAMA Psychiatry. It worked: −7.3 MADRS points vs midazolam. The best part? Blinding: only 32% on ketamine guessed they got it initially, and 59% after 4 infusions. 🧵

I once tried this with a single bull. Tried to brand the raw milk as silk. But alas that was already taken. Boy from Cornwall sets up own dairy business with single cow share.google/3JjrW6TsHYgtNGL…

I had someone once explain commodities to me in the hog industry as two possible states. Either you have hogs chasing hooks, or hooks chasing hogs. IMO memory is clearly a commodity, we just have hooks chasing hogs. They can't make enough, right now. The cure to high prices is high prices.
BlackRock's Tony Kim (@tonywkim): Chips are not a commodity. " This notion that they were a commodity was just a false notion." "People always said, 'Chips are a commodity.' But yet they have the highest profitability of any company in the world." "This industry is very interesting. There were hundreds of chip companies, and then systematically over 20 years, now there's just a few." " The number of companies have collapsed, and then those that have survived are behemoths with huge pricing power—the complete opposite of commodity." "And by the way, venture capital, Silicon Valley, until recently, never funded these companies."
