Life before this tweet.
I remember when the books were first released, some Islamic countries considered them "haraam" due to fear that they were actual magic or witchery. It never occurred to me that a town in the free world would do the same some 20 years later. What are we doing?

It’s very obvious AI will massively reduce the number of mistakes / fraud in the scientific literature

I hate when people say they went to Harvard on their Linkedin and it's a 4 week executive course. It's a net negative on a resume and I would immediately not hire you based on that. Feels like lying.

Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor woman’s final radio calls.
That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching.
I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraft’s maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee.
Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.

We're saddened to hear about the tragedy involving a Learjet 60 near West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday evening, November 1. Weather was likely a contributing factor; while the NTSB has a long investigation ahead, here's what the meteorological and flight tracking data tell us:
Just a reminder that there is no free press in Iran, and BBC/CNN reporters operate in that country only with government permission. We can, however, still find the real news on X. Thanks to @elonmusk.

KEVIN!!! It's timeee 🧑🎄
ALT A busy airport terminal adorned with festive holiday decorations, including large garlands and red bows hanging from the ceiling. Travelers walk along the corridor, pulling luggage. Banners display the word "Chicago."
This BBC reporter will never show you what is happening in Iran on Halloween because it goes against her narrative.

Ten million people have watched a comedian accidentally destroy the entire TED talk industry.
He filmed the talk once at TEDxNewYork in 2014 and openly admitted he had nothing to say.
Speaking coaches charge $5,000 to teach the exact tricks he used in 6 minutes to say nothing at all.
His name is Will Stephen. He is a comedian from Late Night with Seth Meyers who was invited to give a real TED talk and used it to prove the format is a costume anyone can wear.
Every TED speaker opens with a question, tells a personal story, cites a scientist, and shows a chart. Stephen did all four in six minutes with zero content.
His entire formula fits on a napkin.
Gesture with both hands. Ask the audience a question anyone can answer. Tell a mildly embarrassing story so they say aww. Point to a stranger on a slide and call them important. Flash a chart of random numbers. Wear glasses with no lenses. The audience will think you are brilliant.
That last trick alone has probably cost the public speaking coaching industry a hundred million dollars in sessions clients should have skipped.
"If you watched me on YouTube with the sound off, you would think I was a genius."
That is Will Stephen on the TED stage, three minutes into the talk he was paid to give. He wasn't lying.
Executives pay $15,000 for a keynote coach and still open with a joke the room never laughs at. Founders rehearse their pitch for weeks and still sound like Stephen at minute four, saying "wagga wah, gabba gabba" with authority.
The talk is free on YouTube. The method is written across every TED speaker's playbook for ten years.
Stephen still writes for Seth Meyers. Almost none of the ten million viewers have stopped nodding at empty slides since.
The formula is free. The willingness to actually say something before your next keynote, pitch, or townhall is the entire edge.
The footage of Iranians celebrating Halloween has angered two groups:
1-The Leftists
2-The Islamists
Why is that?

Pendant ce temps, Halloween en Iran 🎃
Vous pensez vraiment que ces mollahs qui puent peuvent encore régner sur cette jeunesse ?
ils ont plus peur de cette jeunesse que des bombardiers B-2 !
