Editor's Notes
- 1 in 3 people in the world do not have access to a decent toilet
- de Saint Exupery was talking about designing planes
- “I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”
- Our product is our connection to our customer (or to anyone who cares about us anyway). We want to make that experience count.
- For IaaS
- Subway is 304km in total length, but Seoul’s is longest: 940km
- She talked about empowerment in the community context, and not python per se. Programming is a tool that cultivates the activist mindset. She made specific efforts to talk and interact with the community: send hundreds of emails asking for help from people she has never met before.
