Last August, I was invited to keynote (no honorarium) at a major event organized by Polytechnique Montréal—you know, the campus that no longer allows meat to be sold. I received a note yesterday saying they’ve pivoted and will invite someone else to speak. Here's the deal. Unless you’re left-of-centre or aligned with the Liberals, you risk being sidelined on university campuses in Canada. Full stop. That’s the reality—and Canadians should know it.

Got annoyed by Tailscale requiring 3rd party accounts, so created Nostr VPN. It signals over nostr relays and creates a wireguard / boringtun network. Builds for Macos and Linux. Using it between my Macs, but haven't tested extensively yet.

There are so many ways to make a tool for #compressionmolding, and yet, it has never been clear to me how to choose the best design for a given application. Here's one that I'm working on at @etsmtl for our new @PinettePEI stamp forming press. What suggestions do you have?

Feels great to re-organize our prototyping space at @etsmtl with my friend Jacques Lengaigne. Now its time for the students to show us what they've got. #3Dprinting #photography #Collaboration @ilytab

Well, I guess it’s starting sooner than I anticipated: several laboratories are starting to sell NFTs as alternate/additional sources of research funding. We can expect “first ever images of X down the microscope” NFTs, etc. before long. Wild! #NFT #science #Biology #BTC

In the last week I've started to receive inquiries from people running tree planting programs wanting my help. I am suggesting that they shut down their programs. Here I will explain why:

Video of 1950s VTOL (vert. takeoff & landing) demonstrator Ryan X-13 Vertijet—had thrust vectoring for pitch & yaw control plus RCS for roll control! In 1957 flew across the Potomac & landed at the Pentagon...still got canceled 🎥 HT @Rainmaker1973

Yes, Google has a lot of money and a lot of lawyers. No, these lawyers are not Gods, and yes, they do stupid things, like accidentally reveal Sheryl Sandberg's role in a conspiracy. At $1500/hour. mattstoller.substack.com/p/w…

A handful of Silicon Valley oligarchs decide who can and cannot be heard, including the President of the United States. They exert this power unilaterally, with no standards, accountability or appeal. Politics now is begging them to silence adversaries or permit allies to speak:
JUST IN: Former first lady Michelle Obama calls on tech companies to permanently ban President Trump from their platforms and put policies in place “to prevent their technology from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection.”

Academia pays 10 billion dollars every year for publishing, maybe ten times the real cost; the major part goes into shareholders' pockets. What can each of us do in order to put an end to this scandal? Many things. 1/8
