@krisfredrickson @_IainMartin Huge congrats! Go Kris!

Some news - I raised $175M for Verified Capital with a plan to back transformative technology companies at any stage of their journey. Thanks to @_IainMartin for the writeup in Forbes. forbes.com/sites/iainmart…

@ProfEmilyOster I’m so sorry to hear that Emily. My deepest condolences.

My mother was impossibly cool, incredibly warm, smart, funny, charming, honest and I owe her approximately everything and then some. I am so sad to say she passed away today after a battle with cancer. My heart is broken. som.yale.edu/profile/profes…

@AlexRoy144 Yes, it’s been disappointing. Was certainly going to be hard to adapt well but this has fallen well well short of expectations. And Dune was great.

If you thought the #IRobot movie was the worst adaptation of Isaac Asimov, you haven’t watched #Foundation

@GovCTW Well said and true.

in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity & tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water. -John W. Gardner, author & leader (8 Oct 1912-2002)

We must learn to honor excellence in every socially accepted human activity, however humble the activity & to scorn shoddiness, however exalted the activity. An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. The society that scorns excellence (1/2

@AlexRoy144 Trailers look promising but 🤞🤞🤞

#Foundation Please. Be great.

@rebeccadobrien @WSJ @nytimes @NYTMetro Congrats!

@chamath Market value/GDP = Earnings/GDP * P/E. This increase appears to be more driven by the former which is less a function of the Fed action than it is of the power of labor and domestic industry mix (tech / finance is low GDP relative to earnings).

Inequality and anti-capitalism in one chart. The Fed, for the last 25 years, have used their tools and $$$ to preserve equity and credit prices at all costs. As a result, when economies contract, avg people get hurt. Capitalists and Progressives should both puke this chart up.

@Delta was at gate at SFO. Person finds an iPhone on seat. Brings it to agent. Your agent tells her to put it back on seat. I tell agent that doesn’t make sense / likely get stolen. Agent says this is standard procedure. Is that true? No wonder lost items don’t get found.

@ianbremmer Interesting stat. 5 of last 6 presidents had > 20% return over first 444 days (way above average returns). Does that say something about human optimism when new president comes in? Or coincidental timing?

Market return for first 444 days in office: FDR : 70.4% Reagan: 41.4% Teddy Roosevelt: 37.4% Obama: 32.5% Clinton: 32.2% George Bush Sr: 21.4% Trump: 20.7% Bloomberg/Axios

@mattturck Could not agree more.

United is a fascinating case study in a culture gone very wrong. The product (planes, routes) is not bad. But employees seem to be unable (or disempowered) to make common sense decisions and will deliberately and systematically optimize against customers. It’s almost bizarre. twitter.com/thehill/status…
