It's fully open source (MIT) as well. I write and post essays there. Currently making a library.

No, you paint them initially when you build the structure. It's quite hard to paint afterwards.

Also, if you notice closely, the steel is welded rather than bolted. Newer buildings are bolted now-a-days, which increases their useful life.

This is the current building being built that I talk about. Notice (1) the two layers of paint, and (2) bolts being used instead of welds compared to the steel structure photos in the essay

One of them: building one of the first three-story I-beam steel structures in Far West Nepal. No local expertise. No supply chain. A crew that had never done it before. We figured it out anyway.

It has an ingestion layer where we break apart a project, it's deck and it's slides into relationships like frameworks/visual archetypes, and then save that in a graph database plus a vector database. The user can then query "find me work we've done on geology research that might be relevant to industrial mining"

Once we had police knock on our door for playing music too loud at 10 PM on a weekend - f'ck Boston NIMBYs

1. asking people to come at 2 PM on a weekend and saying party will go till 7 PM. There is a limit to expectations, as I have learned

2. not using Partiful or Luma (Apple Invites wasn't a thing back then) so we could never really remind people or confirm people. Plus, many flaked (~40%) or arrived very late (~70%)

3. not making the party interesting enough for 22-24 year olds - many flaked :(

4. not following rules 8 and 9 as mentioned here (whom to or not to invite given a group)

Some tips that worked for us in other parties:

1) Be very generous with drinks, make good ones and buy good beer/wine, avoid temptation to venmo request afterwards (please don't). atithi devo bhava

2) Have something to do. For us it was Dartmouth pong in our backyard lol

3) Have a good vibe

One major pro tip not mentioned: if inviting a girl you want to impress, learn to mix drinks and songs ;) A good shake goes a long way...

Why do autocrats rise to power? Why are far-right parties rising in power in Germany, France, Spain and Portugal?

I've come to see this as a fundamental human nature one can't go against. Some people are, just evil. Humans will always love self more than others. This love of self can turn into a hatred of others, or easily be turned into a hatred of others.

Acceptance that evil forces and opportunitists and populists will always be around us is the first step in asnwering what is to be done

Growing up in Nepal and witnessing some large non-violent and violent protests, I was frankly, baffled to see people standing on the sides of the streets and holding sign boards as protests

Where's the rallies? Where is the mass involvement needed for a successful protest? where are the street blocks? non-voilent doesn't mean just standing there.

The first time I actually saw something worth being called a protest was during the Black Lives Matter movement. I think it exposed the American police system for what it was, and the system's inability to control protesters peacefully

I've seen a lot of protests around NYC on various topics

Recently more with Palestine

> You could have tens of millions of students and otherwise unemployed individuals walking around with placards, and nobody's going to care.

I think you're wrong here Do it for one day nobody cares Do it for a week, people notice Do it for a month, you've got regime change
