Last May, President Trump signed 4 Executive Orders: kicking off a race to turn on 3 nuclear reactors by July 4th. I talked to the people who made it happen: including @SecretaryWright, @emundz42, @adamblake, @OverReactor1776, and Rian Bahran. Exclusively, how the Trump administration laid the groundwork for an American nuclear renaissance.

I really am not asking for much.

anyone ever flown in a Sikorsky?

you gotta admit they made a really cute couple

Okay. I’ll take the bait. I went to work for Peter in 2013 with opposite politics. He sat me down right at the beginning. PETER: “I don’t want the (Thiel) Foundation to do good that the market can do. That is the job of the market. Likewise, I don’t want to do the good work that is seen as good. That work can be done by people richer, weaker and more needy of approval than we are. I want us to do only the work that is *deeply* good but somehow confused for being evil, because that is the work of the courageous and the strong. We strive to be both and that is where a small foundation can make the greatest positive difference. Go look for such good and let’s do that. But remember. Good has TWO different antonyms. What is “bad work”? It could be seen as shoddy work. Or it could be seen as evil work. And we can’t do shoddy work. Why? Because evil that isn’t competent never gets to be evil. It’s just pathetic. So we have to be exceptionally competent at the good work which we do to make sure it is always confused for evil.” I thought it totally logical. So that’s the argument. And that’s classic Peter. This is an old idea of his. And now you know.

Obviously, this all came from an internal memo, though I fully expect those to always find their way into the public domain. In any case, I imagine the non-space media may not fully appreciate this, but for an Artemis III mission that did not really exist six months ago, with hardware coming together quickly in the VAB, test landers in production, the crew assigned and in training, and the most complex multi-launch campaign mission in history only 90 days broken to schedule, I thought the update would come across as confidence inspiring. There are opportunities to pull in the schedule and, of course, risks ahead, but those who know these programs should generally be very encouraged by the progress. I am incredibly proud of the NASA team and our partners. We intend to provide an Artemis update, similar to the Moon Base updates, in early October.

bro this is what I’ve been talking about

Crazy to complain about wanting automated testing to improve accessibility when massive government sites like gsa.gov are failing simple automated test with contrast errors!! Manual testing obviously has its benefits, but anyone who actually builds software knows that automated tests drastically increase coverage and effectiveness at ensuring sites are usable for all Americans

Hey @washingtonsun just a heads up, your website fails accessibility testing. You might want to consider using some AI tools. They help a lot.

Prior generations of billionaires gave endowments to the arts. Today’s autistic billionaires ignore culture and spend all their philanthropy fixated on the fecundity of peasants 10K miles away, then are baffled by why they’re so hated here & can’t get data centers approved.
