Contrast it with beautiful areas like the Amalfi Coast or any old town in the Mediterranean. They have color and trees. The advent of concrete, specifically Portland cement, brought on the gray brutalism. Builders would rather leave the sta

Hey, I like my hours-long YouTube videos and would be remiss getting the Cliffs Notes. I wish Google would put those Shorts somewhere less in-your-face but sigh I know we live in a TikTok era.

I stand corrected. Yes, Saturns were in TN, not Fremont plant. The whole GM, NUMMI, Saturn story was playing out in a collective moment circa 2010. Here is an audio interview in This American Life series a week before NUMMI was to close.

This building (really a massive factory area in Fremont) is now Tesla. NUMMI produced some really good cars under the Saturn brand. GM messed up in this collaboration. GM quitting Saturn is a story in itself.

During the early years of Tesla, TSLA followers would post the VIN numbers of delivered cars to estimate the rate of production. They were accurate for a few quarters. After some time Tesla changed the practice of sequential VINs.

We have a fascination to find a hero or villain as a singular explanation. It makes for a a good article or Michael Lewis book. The JWST might have also succeeded because of the failures learned from the Hubble telescope.

You mean to say autocracies are easier to predict because they behave with a firm consistent control (until they leave). They are obviously not always aligned with our foreign policy goals. All you have to do is name a handful of current au

The author of the article does not seem to be able to make a good distinction between cacao and cocoa. For instance, they wrote “cocoa plant” but there’s no such. There’s a cacao tree and it grows pods (similar in size and shape to a small
