Astrophysicist and Nobel laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar used to travel 80 kilometers every week from the Yerkes Observatory to the University of Chicago, where he taught a course attended by only two students. When asked why he spent his time this way, the professor replied that they were very good students. In 1957, Lee Tsung-Dao and Yang Chen-Ning were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. The course taught by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar became the only course in history where all its attendees received a Nobel Prize.

There’s over 1.4 million kilometers of undersea fiber-optic cable in the world To put that in perspective, if you laid out all the undersea fiber optic cables and connected them together end-to-end then wrapped them around the Earth your website would stop working.

Ik zag de link naar dit stuk gister een aantal keer langskomen, maar las het niet omdat ik dacht: ‘ik weet al dat het erg is.’ Uiteindelijk won de nieuwsgierigheid het. En wát een artikel zeg.. onze overheid is VOLLEDIG stuk. Je krijgt al stress als je het leest.
Zelfs als je het zorgsysteem goed kent kun je er makkelijk in verdwalen. Redacteur Jeroen Wester schrijft veel over zorg. Maar toen hij besloot zijn hulpbehoevende oom te helpen, liep hij vast in het zorgstelsel. nrc.nl/nieuws/2023/03/24/zor…

Never thought that telling a computer, "You've got this! You are a smart, competent, and clever machine that can handle these sort of complex problems" would work, and yet here we are

Beste ouders Wij krijgen verontruste berichten van ouders over de inhoud van onze schoolbibliotheek. We hier kort over zijn. Ja, we hebben Roald Dahl. Ondanks dat Dahl schrijft over het eten van kinderen, geloven wij niet dat hij dat daadwerkelijk gedaan heeft 1/2

Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis. His efforts went unrecognized for 50 years. Then in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he’d rescued, now adults. I like to remember this every Jan 27th.

So my friend called me this morning to talk about something that happened to her last night. She’s been trying to find someone to date…extremely casually. She doesn’t have time for a full blown relationship and basically all she wants is a nice man to have sex with.

De Radetzkymars in de Philharmonie van Odessa, in het donker omdat er geen stroom is. Het gebouw, de dirigent, de musici, het publiek deze avond. Ondanks de oorlog, de dreiging en de raketten toch gewoon Strauss opvoeren, misschien wel de krachtigste vorm van verzet.

This was a thing of beauty.
Congressman Hakeem Jeffries is just amazing. He schooled the fascist GQP from A to Z. Starting the day off with this. 💙☕️🇺🇸
