(Accidentally gave starck too much credit there. He did slopject chairs for Kartell slightly later, 2019.)

All that, but to be fair the machine time + those jelly-shoes were paid for with generous research salaries from enterprise software multinationals doing pr stunts

Slopjects then + now

~10 years ago it was starck not lovegrove using the same trick, and we all earnestly called it ‘generative design’ and ran the chairs through fussy physics models to optimize strength/lightness/additive manufacturing fitness because - I’m certain there was a reason

Yes! We make it at home and use it for everything. Way cheaper than buying it retail by the bottle. Made a little site for sharing findings and collecting lit reviews. Here’s the subpage on DIY HOCl:

Non-Toxic Disinfection
HOCl is produced by white blood cells within the bodies of all mammals (humans included). At the right concentrations (see below), it’s really good at killing harmful viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Which means that regular disinfecting with HOCl can help prevent the spread of harmful bugs and viruses to keep communities healthier.

Super interested in your kiddo watch setup! We have done this with an Apple Watch, but only partially… if I may, what do you use for allowance?

All technically possible (but bureaucratically unimaginable?)
3D flood models for tsunamis and ARKstorms based on topology & fluid dynamics; coordinated cross-region warning systems; evacuation routes responsive to the active disaster scenario; a functional local media ecosystem…

The talk is amazing. You nailed it. So so good.

I think I first followed this list years ago, buried it under dozens of lesser ones, and now it’s wonderfully huge
