Like the fellow or not, outright lies like "When Musk’s plans inevitably fail" undercut any credibility this creed might have. Tesla cars, the new Optimus thing, SpaceX, xAI...like, the dude has a track record of making things hap

It a truly, truly a mystery why the GOP, Trump, and "white" ethnopolitics in the US and abroad have found such fertile ground. It'd be nice to go back to the blase liberalism, slow and steady in its progress, of the 90s.

It is a very distressing formative experience to discover that the world contains a plurality--sometimes, even a majority!--of people who do not share your prejudices, perspectives, and often even axioms. I envy the calm strata you must inh

No problem! The big thing--usually missed by most folks, especially engineers whose intuitions and experience are correct but in the wrong domain--is that you don't balance a country's budget like you do a household's. The sc

It's not particularly a "surge" in crime, as the issue (illegal immigrants) has built up over time. However, in years past, everybody just kind of overlooks it--and on the local level, it's basically not a problem beyo

"Why isn't there more industrial reshoring via robotics?" is a narrower subset of the question "Why isn't there more industrial reshoring?" It might be helpful to start at the endpoint and ask: "Okay, we h

I'm incredibly not a fan of loyalty tests and picking winners and losers. At the same time, it doesn't seem surprising that the pendulum pulled over by companies earlier (for example, Twitter deplatforming) and the previous admini

It will be as impressive as it is shortsighted if we throw away a strong lead in space (at least the US chunk of it) due at least partially to political feuding and populism. I do wish the fellow had stuck with the boring (hah) business of
