  • The Hunt for Dark Breakfast

    It started with a flash of insight like a thunderbolt in a snow storm, the sort of insight that can only be induced by high altitude hypoxia and making breakfast. “Breakfast is a vector space. You can place pancakes, crepes, and scrambled eggs on a simplex where the variables are the ratios between milk, eggs, and flour. We have explored too little of this manifold. More breakfasts can exist than we have known.”

Epstein

  • Police in Britain arrest former ambassador to US Peter Mandelson in probe into Epstein ties | AP News

    suspected of improperly passing U.K. government information to the disgraced U.S. financier, and the high-profile British arrests are some of the most dramatic fallout from the trove of more than 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents released last month by the U.S. Justice Department.

  • Peter Attia resigns from CBS News following Epstein backlash

    In the newly released trove of documents from the Epstein files, Attia and the convicted sex offender exchanged lewd and personal messages with each other. For example, Attia had written in 2016, “P*ssy is, indeed, low-carb. Still awaiting results on gluten content, though.” Attia, an influencer specializing in longevity medicine, was one of 19 new contributors named in January as part of Bari Weiss’ new strategy for CBS News.

  • DOJ withheld Epstein files related to allegations Trump sexually abused a minor

    Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.

  • The Epstein Files Should Never Have Been Released - The New York Times

    Every day seems to bring new reports of financiers, academics, politicians and royalty (among others) who cozied up to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender whose predation took a horrendous toll on innocent lives. With accountability for people in power in short supply, it can be hard to see a downside in the huge dump of documents relating to Mr. Epstein and his various associates. But we should recognize the release of millions of pages of the Epstein files as both a sign of institutional failure and a cause for concern. If our justice system were working properly, the public would never have such access. In the not-too-distant past, most people probably would have at least grudgingly accepted a regime in which prosecutors and law-enforcement agents sorted through materials from a sprawling investigation and made public only those portions needed to properly handle a case. The additional information that might interest us, and perhaps even help improve society, would remain secret. Federal prosecutors could generally be trusted to focus on their narrow criminal enforcement mission and to not abuse the tools given them for that limited purpose. No longer.

    • Dude was known to be a predator and his friends known to be slimy since the 1990s. It took 20 years to get him into court at all. Were it not for the release of the files we've got so far; we'd still not have any public insight or movement on the insider trading and influence peddling operations.

    • NYT Disclosure Fail.

    I thought the name on this column sounded familiar. Richman is a friend of Comey's who had possession of memos by Comey that the former FBI Director had leaked through him as a way to force the appointment of a special counsel in 2017.

  • I was wrong about 3D printed guns

    People have been so brainbroken by the idea of printing a gun that multiple states are about to crash their entire manufacturing sectors in an attempt to block them. Academics are writing articles genuinely arguing that the mere presence of a printed gun is some kind of cognitohazard that drives unrelated people to suicide. The state of California is genuinely arguing in court that the First and Second Amendments don't cover SPEECH about GUNS — quite possibly the most protected conduct that could ever exist in the United States.

  • A risky maneuver could send a spacecraft to interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. Here's the plan

    If this mission could launch in 2035, the researchers say, it could at minimum catch up with 3I/ATLAS by 2085 at a distance of 732 astronomical units (AU) from the sun. In other words, that's 732 times farther from the sun than Earth is, which is 68 billion miles (109 billion kilometers). For comparison, our most distant active space probe, Voyager 1, is currently only 170 AU from the sun after almost the same flight-time as the proposed mission to 3I/ATLAS.

    To achieve a delta-V of at least 5.1 miles (8.4 kilometers) per second, which you can think of as the work required to accelerate a spacecraft onto a new trajectory, the mission would have to perform a solar Oberth maneuver (SOM) at a distance of 3.2 solar radii from the center of the sun. The radius of the sun is 432,450 miles (696,000 kilometers). When NASA's Parker Solar Probe made its closest approach to the sun in 2023, it came within 0.04AU (3.7 million miles/6.1 million km). Even though this isn't quite as close to the sun as the proposed 3I/ATLAS interceptor would get, it gives an indication of what would be in store: Parker Solar Probe experienced temperatures of 2,500–2,600 degrees Fahrenheit (1,370–1,400 degrees Celsius).

  • The Helicopter, The Courtroom, & The Greater Good

    Early evidence points cautiously in the right direction. Over 400 political prisoners have been released. An amnesty law has passed a unanimous first vote. El Helicoide, the prison synonymous with political torture, has been ordered closed. Public demonstrations have returned. Oil sanctions have been rolled back, sales have topped a billion dollars, and economists are projecting double-digit growth this year. A public school teacher in Caracas still makes $160 a month—but the direction is shifting. And yet. Over 600 political prisoners remain. Some of the released face gag orders and can’t leave the country. The courts are still packed with judges who did Maduro’s bidding.
