[meme] Trains -- not driverless cars -- are the future of transportation
the drawing specifies urban transportation. didn't say it would work in rural neighborhoods.
TIL that the first computer programmer was a woman. Her name was Ada Lovelace.
she understood that the analytical engine/mechanical computer could be used symbolically, way beyond the numerical calculations that babbage built it for.
she foresaw how powerful that could be. when she was dying (of ovarian cancer), she said i would give all the days i have left for just three days a hundred years from now.
