Went to @USPS on Veterans Day because the website said ‘open.’ Spoiler: closed. Is it really too much to ask -- in 2024 -- for the USPS to know its own holiday schedule?😑📬 #USPSFail

I just struggled through @USPS click-and-ship. Buying the label wasn't terrible but I wasn't able to print or save it as a PDF, or refund my purchase after not being able to use it. But at least they let me choose my hold music when I called in to customer support... #priorities

Headline correction for you @washingtonpost : "Congress prevented a partial government shutdown" -> "Congress creates fire-drill by procrastinating on core responsibility." washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…

The battery-backup in the case of power outage will really expand the TAM for electric cooking if you can get the price down, @sdamico. Hoping fridges and freezers aren't far behind!

Sam D'Amico@sdamico

So we (@ImpulseLabs_ ) made the highest performing ... stove. - 3x the performance of induction and ~5x gas (equiv. of ~72,000 BTU/h!). - A nontrivial advance in temperature sensing, transforming cooking. - And it ships this year (taking deposits starting ... today).

@creditkarma the inability to transfer more than three years of Mint transactions is insufficient. That shortcoming alone will make it worth seeking an alternative product. #ripmint

Publishing original research as a high schooler is no joke. We can help! #HighSchool #research

Polygence@Polygence

For students looking to create and publish original research, understanding what's required can be tricky. Fortunately, our handy guide to the IRB Approval Process helps make this easier. Check it out here: polygence.org/blog/irb-appro… #research #IRB #HighSchool #mentoring

@elonmusk @boo Yea. I gotta agree with @elonmusk on this one. @Twitter ads are a special type of terrible.

English

Elon Musk@elonmusk·18 Şub

@boo My apologies, you must be a genius, which is why Twitter has the worst ad relevance on Earth. Almost nobody buys anything on Twitter, but almost everyone on Instagram does. That is being fixed.

As the former lead for Ads at Twitter, I can confidently say this man has no idea wtf he's talking about

Elon Musk@elonmusk

Sorry for showing you so many irrelevant & annoying ads on Twitter! We’re taking the (obvious) corrective action of tying ads to keywords & topics in tweets, like Google does with search. This will improve contextual relevance dramatically.

@alex_yang15 Unfortunately, access is only a very small part of the solution. A good part! But a small one.

learning about postwar residential segregation and how black Americans were explicitly denied mortgages to help them live in the suburbs has 100% convinced me of the importance of novel virtual/remote only schools in the future 🧵

@alex_yang15 @lennysan @wes_kao You did a good job sticking to the nugget of your message, @alex_yang15. Very persuasive.

Alex Yang@alex_yang15·10 Oca

also, i've found in my writing that i love to provide unnecessary background and endless amount of context. but thankfully came across podcast w/ @lennysan @wes_kao that recommended cutting the context and getting straight to it so i tried to do that for this piece!

I've been exploring the concept of match quality and career exploration for high schoolers for past few months now but haven't had the time to write this piece until this winter break. lmk what you think and if there's anything i'm missing! alexyyang15.medium.com/match-quality-…

@jameskimEDU Congrats on expanding the portfolio! :) He is a handsome little guy.

World, meet Jacob! He moved at true startup pace, arriving less than half an hour later after we got to the hospital. The nurses didn’t even have a chance to put the epidural in. Wife was the real MVP throughout.

@SenLummis Maybe focus on education in Wyoming? Especially geography.

Senator Cynthia Lummis@SenLummis·27 May

The crisis at our southern border is still the top issue my constituents in Wyoming talk to me about. Border security is national security. It’s time to take this crisis seriously.

@tlow It would be epic if that was actually @JeffBezos' blatantly telegraphed end-game from the very beginning. Phase 1: Books. Phase 3: Save the forest. Literal strategy: "Use trees to save the trees." On man, what if Bezos is actually just a puppet doing the trees' bidding?!

Wouldn’t it be great if Amazon adopted the Amazon? Not kidding.
