Want to see more photos of the Leaning Tower? Check out the Torre di Pisa location page on Instagram!

The Tower of Pisa is a freestanding bell tower located in Italy that has a lean of about 3.99 degrees. Due to this lean, and the magic of forced perspective, many tourists come to Pisa so they can pose for photographs with the tower where they pretend to support or set it straight!

Schools Need 100Mbps Per 1,000 Users

Schools Need 100Mbps Per 1,000 Users:

infoneer-pulse:

American schools need mega-broadband networks — and they need them soon, a new report says.

Specifically, U.S. educational institutions will need networks that deliver broadband performance of 100Mbps for every 1,000 students and staff members in time for the 2014-15 school year. That’s the conclusion reached by the State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA).

Why the need for speed? For one thing, more and more schools are using online textbooks and collaboration tools, said Christine Fox, director of educational leadership and research at SETDA. Broadband access must be “ubiquitous” and “robust,” she said, adding that schools should think of broadband as a “necessary utility,” not as an add-on.

Peter Thiel’s CS183: Startup - Class 15 Notes Essay

Thu, 31 May 2012 22:37:54 -0300

blakemasters:

Here is an essay version of class notes from Class 15 of CS183: Startup. Errors and omissions are mine.

Four guests joined the class for a conversation after the lecture:

Danielle Fong, Co-founder and Chief Scientist of LightSail Energy;

Jon Hollander, Business Development at RoboteX;

Greg Smirin, COO of The Climate Corporation; and

Scott Nolan, Principal at Founders Fund and former aerospace engineer at SpaceX (Elon Musk was going to come, but he was busy launching rockets).

Credit for good stuff goes to them and Peter. I have tried to be accurate. But note that this is not a transcript of the conversation.

Class 15 Notes Essay—Back to the Future

I. The Future of The Past

Sometimes the best way to think about the future is to think about the way the future used to be. In the mid-20^th century, it was still possible to talk about a future where the weather would be precisely predicted or even controlled. Maybe someone would figure out how to predict tornadoes. Or maybe cloud seeding would work. Transportation was the same way; people expected flying cars and civilian submarines. Robotics was yet another exciting frontier that people thought would be big.

But fast-forward to the present. Things haven’t really worked out as people thought they would in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Weather still kind of just happens to us. People have pretty much accepted that as inevitable. The prevailing sense is that trying to control the weather is dangerous, and we shouldn’t tinker too much with it. Transportation has been similarly disappointing. Forget flying cars—we’re still sitting in traffic. There has been some progress in robotics. But certainly not as much as everybody expected. We wanted the General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot from Lost in Space. Instead we got the Roomba vacuum cleaner.
