[Themaintainers] New Yorker Article

[Khan, Sabir]

i second that!  kicked off my design workshop for industrial design minors -- who come from a variety of majors including ME, BME, CS, CE, etc. -- this past week with it.  the piece casts a wide net with a rich haul to prompt discussion and set the imaginations of a diverse group spinning.

Hi Maintainers, I think this personal essay on homeostasis, health and maintenance from the New Yorker might be of interest to you-all.  It's neither particularly brief nor (as the title suggests) uplifting, but the writer manages to discuss maintenance in about 10 different ways, and points to some possibly useful material in the history of health/medicine. There's a few quotable lines as well, such as "maintenance defies measurement".
