When friends asked me, Can we help? I’d say, Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest or teleport me off this rock. I used that line from Star Wars.
Of the people who cook on television, I have admired people like Jacques Pepin, Julia Child, Mario Batali, Jamie Oliver and a few others because they are free of drama, display good taste and masterful technique, and use clear exposition to bring you up to speed.
A trip to the mainland was a big event and happened maybe once a year, although now you can get across in a speed boat in seven minutes but then it was a long way away.
What makes the vault so spectacular is because it’s a very athletic type of event, where it needs a lot of speed, a lot of explosive action and, of course, great coordination.
The rise of broadband and growing ubiquity of Internet access excites me the most. The world changes a lot when, no matter where you are – in the middle of a deserted highway or in a bustling city – you can get high speed broadband access.
I have a good return. I have good speed, too, that most of the big guys don’t have.
I’ve got good speed off the edge.
The most important thing is to understand that this career is not about speed. It’s about stamina. This is a marathon. It’s not a 50-meter sprint. You have to persevere and understand it takes a lot of time. You have to know you’re going to knock on 100 doors and 99 of them are going to close in your face.
There comes a point in your life when you realize how quickly time goes by, and how quickly it has gone. Then it really speeds up exponentially. With that, I think you start to put a lot of things into context; you start to see how huge the world is, and really, the universe.
It’s frightening, the way life speeds up. When you’re at school, time can’t go fast enough.
I learned from Chuck Noll in Pittsburgh that speed and explosiveness on defense is the way to build a team. Both are difficult for your opponent to assimilate in practice and then in games it is even harder to match.
My team has helped me improve in many factors – speed, power, experience, the mental game; how I see the fight game is different.
One way to get high speed to the home is over cable systems.
I really like listening to books. I listen to them at twice the speed so I can listen to more books.
The form of computers has never been important, with speed and performance being the only things that mattered.
Cloud is so important because it enables digital transformation. It underpins disruptive new technologies in social, mobile, and analytics – and it is enabling industry leaders to compete in digital. Innovation is happening in the cloud – and cloud gives companies the speed and flexibility to be much more agile.
If you look at a record under a microscope, the high frequencies are short jagged edges… and the low frequencies are long swinging ones are deep bass sounds. When it cut it at half speed, you’re getting more of those on the record.
A guy like Saquon Barkley is really a three-down player. You see the size, the speed, the quickness, the elusiveness, the power. He’s a unique individual.
In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed.
The pace of innovation may slow down or speed up depending on the appetite in the public markets, but the constant progress of technology doesn’t really ever stop. There’s always opportunities for new ideas and creative people to go build great things. I’m always interested in learning about those kinds of opportunities.
My first book, ‘In Praise of Slowness,’ examines how the world got stuck in fast-forward and chronicles a global trend towards putting on the brakes. That trend is called the Slow movement. ‘Slow’ in this context does not mean doing everything at a snail’s pace. It means doing everything at the right speed.
There’s still nothing I love more than being in the air. I’ve always liked speed and things on wheels, going out there and putting it all out there, being on the edge.
Everyone remembers the pop-quiz hotshot bit from ‘Speed’ because it’s extremely funny, and it’s really smart and really witty. And the notion that action movies can have dialogue that pops just as well as the explosions is something that I hope more people continue to remember.
I like the sci-fi channel. Just science in general. I came across a segment on time travel and how time travel is possible. We create a spaceship that’s moving at almost the speed of light, we go in that spaceship in outer space, and we fly around for a year, when we get back to Earth, Earth would’ve aged 10 years.
‘Boardwalk’ has kind of exposed me to a different demographic. And it upped my skills in terms of the speed with which I can prep a scene, and I’m excited to apply that.
My favorite book is ‘Speed of Trust’ by Stephen Covey.
I’ve never been speed dating! I sort of wish I had, just for the experience of it.
Like stones rolling down hills, fair ideas reach their objectives despite all obstacles and barriers. It may be possible to speed or hinder them, but impossible to stop them.
I work on my speed and strength every day, and I do a lot of work on my first five yards. For a footballer, that’s really important.
I’m doing physics because I’m curious about how it works – full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes, don’t worry about whether somebody is going to be able to do an experiment next week, just figure it out.
I have everything to come out victorious – the strength, the speed, the youth.
Whatever you are studying right now, if you are not getting up to speed on deep learning, neural networks, etc., you lose. We are going through the process where software will automate software, automation will automate automation.
I like to get out and get up the court, using my speed and aggressiveness toward the hoop.
The puma… the cat… is not just about power and speed and strength… but it is also a very elegant animal. That’s what we’ve tried to reflect in our products.
The speed at which modern CPUs perform computations still blows my mind daily.
It’s not magic! It’s physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It’s like a spinning top.
In a sense, the market, by expecting a fall in prices, discounts that fall and makes it happen right away instead of later. Expectations speed up future price reactions.
Big waves are a whole different ball game. You’re riding a wave with an immense amount of speed and power, generally over 10 meters. On the face of the wave, obviously life and death thoughts start to happen.
To me, speed kills.
I actually think I’m more of a turtle than Verne is. Where Verne is up on two legs and moving at full speed and doesn’t pull his head into the shell very often, I in reality was five or ten minutes later to every recording session.
Used to be bats had thick handles and a big barrel. Then they found it’s not the size of the bat that gets home runs – it’s the speed with which you can swing it.
I’m a pure boxer. I have lightning speed that hurts guys. But I love to box. I love to be on my back foot. I love to work my jab and combinations.
I basically apply with my teams the lean startup principles I used in the private sector – go into Silicon Valley mode, work at startup speed, and attack, doing things in short amounts of time with extremely limited resources.
Bad news travels at the speed of light; good news travels like molasses.
Speed is the No. 1 thing. Our core competency has been doing exactly this: buying companies and integrating them quickly.
Robotics, manufacturing, medicine, farming, energy – all will be pushed to and beyond their limits and, by so doing, will advance at speeds far faster than without the impetus and challenge of opening a frontier – thus also raising the odds of survival in our favor.
I would never do something like Speed 2 again. If I’d wanted to make those kind of movies I could have signed up for five of them while it was in the can. It wasn’t worth it to me. That was just an innocuous, boring movie.
There are certain things I can’t do, certain pitches I can’t hit. You stay away from them. You try to wait for pitches you can hit. The bat speed isn’t what it used to be. You make up for it by using your head, working counts, getting ahead in counts and getting pitches to hit and hitting them hard.
I don’t run after speed. Obviously, it will be better to have some more pace, but I am very well aware that I can’t bowl with the speed of 150 kmph. I am working hard on my technique and variations.
I love New York, but being there the whole year, it gets a little crazy with the speed and rhythm of things.
The cars need to be louder so it goes through your skin and your stomach, like it used to be – and we need a bit more speed.
It’s one thing to be 100 percent and go out and play football feeling great. It’s another thing when you’re not feeling good. You’re sick, or you got a nagging injury, and you gotta go out in the cold and go across the middle where a guy’s coming full speed at you trying to kill you.
The purpose of art is to collide the intellectual and visceral together at the highest speed possible.
When you see a fish you don’t think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water… If I made fins and eyes and scales, I would arrest its movement, give a pattern or shape of reality. I want just the flash of its spirit.
