  • American Prometheus, the Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.

    I wanted to check it out before the movie comes out, and I highly recommend it for a very in depth view of his life.

    I also recently finished On the Origin of Time, by Thomas Hertog, which I also recommend. It’s about Stephen Hawking’s final ideas and theories, told by one of his closest proteges. There are some incredible ideas in this book that I had never heard of before, and I’m a cosmology nerd.









  • They could make much more money if they only improved their current ad algorithm. I know a lot of people don’t, but I actually click on ads and enjoy ads that are targeted to me, especially for clothing. I purchase things from ads on every social media site that I use, except for Reddit, because reddit does not show me ads for things that I like, and this despite me using Reddit more than any other site. For instance, Reddit show me ads for internet packages, instead of the latest book or or dress that I would like to buy.

    I’m not sure why this is, Reddit should know my interests better than many of these other sites. If their ads are failing, and they aren’t making money, it’s their own fault.
