President Donald J. Trump announces the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program: "All Americans will now be able to go to the fraud.gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities... If you turn somebody in and you let's say report and find $1 billion, we are giving a commission to that person of 1%. That's a lot of money."

3d printing becomes a lot more interesting once you stop thinking about what you can print and start thinking about what material the part actually needs. pla, petg, nylon and flexible resin might all produce something that looks similar, but mechanically they’re very different. pla is stiff, easy to print and excellent for prototypes. petg offers better toughness and layer adhesion, making it useful for functional parts. nylon brings wear resistance, toughness and good fatigue performance, which is why it appears in gears, hinges and moving mechanisms. flexible resin allows complex, compliant geometries, but its durability depends heavily on the formulation and curing process. the interesting part is that material selection is only half the problem. print orientation, layer adhesion, wall thickness, infill, moisture, temperature and loading direction can completely change how a part behaves. a perfectly designed bracket can fail because the load pulls its layers apart. a nylon gear can perform poorly because the filament absorbed moisture before printing. a flexible part can lose its properties because the wrong resin or curing process was used. the same geometry, printed with different materials and parameters, can behave like an entirely different mechanical component. this is why i think every engineer should learn additive manufacturing. you’re not just learning to operate a machine. you’re learning materials science, mechanical design, manufacturing constraints and failure analysis through direct experimentation. print a part, load it, break it, understand why it failed, change the design and repeat. the real value of owning a 3d printer isn’t producing plastic objects. it’s having a small manufacturing laboratory on your desk where you can turn engineering assumptions into physical evidence.

The next revolution in kids education is a personalized learning world that's designed as a videogame and can adapt to every child to nurture their curiosity. It meets them where they are and follows their interest to teach them interesting things. They learn through exploration, creation and conversation in a safe environment. As a parent, you get reports on the progress your kid is making and you can provide feedback to the system so that the system can adapt, one session after another. We're building it @withmarbleapp and we have BIG updates coming up this month.

Milton Friedman: “In the long run, government will spend whatever the tax system will raise, plus as much more as it can get away with. That’s what history tells us.” “So my view has always been: cut taxes on any occasion, for any reason, in any way that’s politically feasible, as the only way to keep down the size of government.”

How did people preserve meat before refrigerators existed? What fascinates me about traditional cold smoking is the clever use of a simple fire and an underground channel. Instead of exposing meat directly to heat, smoke travels through the channel, cooling before entering a wooden smoking chamber. Different woods, such as beech, oak, and juniper, contribute distinct aromas, while curing, smoking, and aging help develop the final flavour and texture. The most interesting part is that cold smoking doesn’t cook the meat. It relies on controlling smoke, temperature, and time. The process can take days or even weeks, depending on the product. Of course, getting the curing process right is just as important as the smoking itself. To me, this is a beautiful example of traditional knowledge meeting practical science preserving food through patience, observation, and ingenuity, long before modern refrigeration transformed our kitchens.
