Is this some sort of trick question. Seven obviously - the aisle seat with no one in the middle. Oc if it was a short flight I'd sit next to Messi. Tell him I play with a 55+ team and ask him if he still plays now that he's an old dude.

we just raised another $25M after 10x'ing our ARR in 5 months. the crazy part is this almost never happened. 17 years ago, I watched Iron Man as a 10-year-old kid in Delhi. that night, I pulled my first all-nighter teaching myself to code. not because I wanted to build apps or make money. because I wanted to build Jarvis. my parents gave me 1 hour of screen time per day. so I coded in secret, sleeping every alternate night through middle school and high school. built 50+ apps. got a cease and desist from Google at age 12. all for this one obsession: making computers understand us like humans do. fast forward to today: - we've raised $81M total to build the voice operating system - growing revenue 40% month-over-month this year - 70% user retention after one year (unheard of in consumer) - teams at 270 of the Fortune 500 use Wispr Flow daily our Series A2 was led by @hanstung at @notablecap (who was an early investor in five companies that made it to $100B valuation like Slack, Tiktok, and Airbnb). we also brought on @StevenBartlett as an investor and partner. but here's what matters more than the money: we cracked voice input. not transcription - actual understanding. our users hit "send" in under 0.5 seconds without checking. they trust it blindly. that's never existed before. in a recent benchmark, Wispr came out as 3-4x more accurate than OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Siri. and we're just getting started. voice input was step one. now we're building the assistant that actually does things for you. to my co-founder @SahajGarg6 - there's no one else I'd rather build Jarvis with than my college roommate and closest friend. to our team pulling all-nighters and shipping magic - you're the reason that 10-year-old kid's dream is becoming real. we're hiring cracked engineers and growth marketers who want to build the future of human-computer interaction. the keyboard had a good 150-year run. time to build what comes next.

The pipe v space inside question is now going to live rent free inside my head because we never covered this in torts.

@BarExamTutor This is a great example of why law students should be required to have some understanding of how statistics works.

“Kim Kardashian said she is ‘100% confident she passed the bar exam after studying law for six years.’” thedailybeast.com/kim-kardashian…

@ProfRobAnderson Definitely not accounting. Business with a focus on finance and economics over accounting. Or sales and marketing focus. If you want a great career in the law without being brilliant enough to teach you need to be able to manage and lead.

What is the best undergraduate major as preparation for being a practicing lawyer? I say accounting.

@mjbommar Lol. We'll need to get a beer together again someday and I've stories for you.

the guild protects its own. ps: i've unsubscribed from ABA mailing lists dozens of times and they keep mailing. CANSPAM anyone?

@DietCoke_Esq @BarExamTutor This is the right answer.

@BarExamTutor This would be my villain origin

New addition to bar exam horror stories: failing the exam by one tenth of a point:

What happened to the 72 hour deadline that he set on Monday? Classic Trump negotiation. You can have the stick or the bigger stick, except it doesn't work if the bigger stick only exists in your imagination.

@ProfRobAnderson Source?

I love the new law faculty sauna with its dedicated monitors so we can read the hottest law review scholarship.

@ProfRobAnderson Remember, calculess > calculus

10. Never expect students to know arithmetic. This isn't 4th grade. We don't use fractions or division in advanced graduate school.

Robert's Rules for Great Law Teaching (Installment #1): 1. Oversimplify the law. Each legal issue should have a single black-letter test comprised of a list of not more than 4 "prongs." Students find differences among states/circuits complicated and frustrating. Why bring them up? If you must, one "minority rule" may be presented for up to 10% of issues. Subtle differences in verbal formulations in actual cases must be avoided at all costs. Multi-factor tests are frustrating to students and should be avoided.

@ProfRobAnderson Guessing jobs at the IRS are drying up.

I can't believe the number of tax candidates on the entry level professor market this year. Was there some kind of tax exodus from practice?

See, I have to agree with this. And a corollary rule I've always followed. When someone is a crass blowhard in public don't do business with them. If they are like that in public they are worse in private.

Well said

@heyitsalexsu My three year old is now doing engineering work that's equivalent to what our MIT post docs were doing two years ago. Sometime ought to tell the students applying to MIT right now.

A partner at a prominent law firm told me “Associates from Fordham are now doing work that used to be done by Yale grads. My junior can draft a motion in an hour that takes a YLS grad a week & the work is better. Someone should tell the folks applying to Yale right now.”

@ProfRobAnderson @senatorshoshana I, too, am sometimes too lazy to get dressed in the morning.

Now that’s a giant sloth @senatorshoshana

@ProfRobAnderson Is there much demand for Port on Royal Caribbean? I thought it was more of a champagne crowd.

That's not very Nice of that mayor.

@ArcticDodger @ProfRobAnderson No, Pittsburgh.

@ProfRobAnderson Haha, do Iron bridge next.

Today I was sitting by the River Cam, looking off at a bridge in the distance, and I developed a theory about where the name "Cambridge" might have come from.

@ProfRobAnderson You have it backwards. It's well known that both the river and the structure's names are derived from the name of the town.

@AP That's about 190k per marine! Where are they staying? Suites at the Beverly Hilton?
