This is true in science also. Good ideas are ten-a-penny - but what is impressive is actually getting it done. Itās the doing that makes the work worthwhile, not the initial spark (99 times out of hundred).

whenever jack conte speaks, i'm convinced that surviving as an artist should be a prerequisite for running a tech company. "If we're going to task people with figuring out how to build data centers in space, then we ought to task people with figuring out how to pay creators for their work."

We condemn ICE's killing of a Minneapolis woman today and call on federal agents to withdraw from Minnesota immediately. This tragedy is further proof that ICE is out of control, endangering our communities, and must end its lawless operations before anyone else is brutally hurt or killed.
