It was a lighter construct than most other buildings in New York, I think it was 22 pounds a square foot, which is very light.
LeMessurier expected the damper to reduce the amplitude of swaying by roughly 50%, and he saved around $4 million by not needing an additional 2,800 tons of structural steel. With both the chevron bracing to channel forces to the stilts and the tuned mass damper to reduce sway, LeMessurier was convinced the building was structurally sound.
were doing, quite regularly, that was important to them. And we can speculate. Maybe they were holding onto each other and they were mating. Maybe when they were feeding with their mouths, they were bracing themselves with their arms. Or maybe if they were two T-Rexes that were fighting over a kill, they could wrestle grapple with their arms a little bit. There's a lot of different possibilities. But the fact that the arms are there and the arms are muscular means they must have been doing something. They must have been part of the repertoire of T-Rex behavior. When
And it's something you were actually semi-trained to do, which, in the end, is unhelpful. And it's wonderfully bracing to be around women who speak their minds more directly. But one of the things that was most interesting to me-- I felt I had to go and spend time in Iceland for this book.

Oh, for sure. Um and this is just a way to tee up this great piece you wrote for the New York Times um called Silicon Valley is bracing for a permanent underclass. Uh tell tell us about that. This this piece I wrote is about the notion of a permanent underclass which in some ways is a bit

There's two things here, which is the design of the construction. Your traditional instrument. Dimensions, the bracing that goes into the instrument. And then how you do it.
