And so to fix that he’s gutting public ed and kneecapping our colleges? Chasing away the research scientists who would be keeping us cutting edge? <sigh>

It should just use a btree - crop or not crop? & why a big database? There are ~200 species we grow for food and 9 of them are 2/3 of it.
And if it somehow requires a giant datacenter whose externalities destroy the environment, is that a win for organic farming? (Or anything rly)

Anne Wojcicki spent a yr at an investment firm i worked at. Later she married billionaire Sergey Brin and founded 23&Me. Her sister Susan ran youtube. Her mom then wrote a book about good parenting. The reality imo is bc they lived in a neighborhood with gr8 schools & kids who founded companies. 2/

You also don’t need to fill the detergent dispenser. A dear friend has worked at several big cos that mfr it. Back in the day the phosphates did the work, now its mostly the hot water. Less soap, less water, less energy, better results.

Lots of propaganda and xenophobia for sure. But also the cyber stuff is very real. As a consultant I helped a high end retailer recover from a Chinese hack years ago. Leadership fired their whole IT team & then we came in, nuked their datacenter and rebuilt it from scratch. It was fugly.

Good call on the short scale! Much easier to play (esp starting out) than something larger like a P-Bass. Have fun! :)

I’m dyslexic & dysgraphic; writing more than ~1/3 of a page gives me a migraine. (I type everything) and at the other end, I didn’t learn chemistry as much as I ‘remembered’ it. I had the highest ACT score in our HS with zero effort. It makes no sense to me, it just is what it is.
