There is something to be said for subtle understated elegance — quiet luxury.

The privilege to know someone is through time and energy.

We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained. - Marie Curie

A couple reflections on the quantum computing breakthrough we just announced... Most of us grew up learning there are three main types of matter that matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Today, that changed. After a nearly 20 year pursuit, we’ve created an entirely new state of matter, unlocked by a new class of materials, topoconductors, that enable a fundamental leap in computing. It powers Majorana 1, the first quantum processing unit built on a topological core. We believe this breakthrough will allow us to create a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years. The qubits created with topoconductors are faster, more reliable, and smaller. They are 1/100th of a millimeter, meaning we now have a clear path to a million-qubit processor. Imagine a chip that can fit in the palm of your hand yet is capable of solving problems that even all the computers on Earth today combined could not! Sometimes researchers have to work on things for decades to make progress possible. It takes patience and persistence to have big impact in the world. And I am glad we get the opportunity to do just that at Microsoft. This is our focus: When productivity rises, economies grow faster, benefiting every sector and every corner of the globe. It’s not about hyping tech; it’s about building technology that truly serves the world. - Satya Nadella

Be careful in who you allow to lead and who you follow.

The current system isn’t broken. It’s fixed. Few understand this. @Joe Carlasare

Stop trying to be relatable. Stop pandering for approval. Start saying the things that actually matter to you, even if they make people uncomfortable. Comfort zones are where mediocrity thrives - and you’re better than that. - Alex Utopia

I just realized, maybe we are the models. - Hampton

The last week has totally reset my conception of what's possible, in two wholly different dimensions. - Marc Andreessen

Sometimes the thing you ask for arrives in different form. Don't discount it.

It's no longer the era of industry. We're in a technological era, fundamentally. The fascists, they have the resources. But we have imagination. We are making the tools to take back our sovereignty. When we make a giant "f*** you" to the system, it's breaking that stranglehold on the tools of power that's used against us. - Deep Web
