I remember reading the original tweet thread and finding the story hilarious. Really cool to see the name change is now official!

“But Nasser couldn’t just leave it there. “By then, I don’t know, I had sort of fallen for this thing,” he tells Sky & Telescope. “I think if it had been labeled on the poster as 2002VE, for whatever weird mystical reason, I don’t think I would have fallen in love with it quite as hard as I did.” But somehow the funny-sounding name Zoozve had really struck a chord with him.

“So I was like, ok, can we actually change it?” Nasser set about learning the somewhat arcane process for the formal naming of asteroids, and asked for Skiff’s help.”

Rafah is being bombed right nkw - 1.5 million refugees suffering from a genocide, conveniently timed to happen during the Super Bowl. I have no words, just pain.

“Hind’s mother, Wissam Hamada, added: “I will question before God on Judgment Day those who heard my daughter’s cries for help and did not save her.””

More fun time stuff.

“SPTP can offer significantly simpler, faster, and more reliable synchronization. Similar to G.8265.1 and G.8275.2 it provides excellent synchronization quality using a different set of parameters. Simplification comes with certain tradeoffs, such as missing signaling messages, that users need to be aware of and decide”

Learnt way too much about time and protocols from this one.

“We believe PTP will become the standard for keeping time in computer networks in the coming decades. That’s why we’re deploying it on an unprecedented scale. We’ve had to take a critical look at our entire infrastructure stack — from the GNSS antenna down to the client API — and in many cases we’ve even rebuilt things from scratch.”

“His fellow academic, Prof Yusuf Jubril, explains that their colleagues find it strange: "Society make us think someone is too big for certain roles and it's not true.
"What he is doing is not humiliating but commendable, and I hope others learn from him."”

“Even a highway network paved completely with quiet asphalt and driven upon exclusively by appropriately sized electric vehicles, however, is not enough to make roadways places of repose. As one biologist told Goldfarb in “Crossings,” “the best way to preserve quiet habitat for wildlife is to not build the damn road … Once you do, you’re in big trouble.” Goldfarb’s book considers the barriers that keep animals off the highway, so they don’t become roadkill. These barriers must also keep the dull shriek of the highway within its boundaries.”

“It might seem insane to take a bet on inexperienced people, especially in the context of hiring them to work at a company in our current layoff-heavy market. I certainly don’t suggest populating an entire company with this type of person. But every great high growth company needs at least some high potential and unconventional people. Transformative companies need people to 1) do something crazy, time consuming, and novel without the burden of too much past experience and yet 2) have enough wisdom and experience to distinguish the special sauce of the business from the actually destructive craziness. It’s easier to find and evaluate the experienced folks who can do the latter thing. It’s almost impossible to find the right inexperienced ones to do the former, who are inventive and original and yet also disciplined. They don’t have any obvious past experience that helps you figure out how special they are.”

““The majority of news since the war began, regardless of how accurate the initial reporting, has been skewed by a systemic and institutional bias within the network toward Israel,” said one CNN staffer. “Ultimately, CNN’s coverage of the Israel-Gaza war amounts to journalistic malpractice.””

“Gartner’s Jessen said companies that aren’t thoughtful about strict mandates should be prepared to lose top talent, millennial and female workers. Instead, employers should do a cost-benefit analysis from employees’ perspective, she said, adding that employees want to feel capable, autonomous and connected.”
