@stoolpresidente I remeber watching and I knew that they never understood it and made you think it was nonsense. Cost you 20M. Now invest the 20M or it will cost you north of 200m.

I bought 2 million dollars worth of #bitcoin prior to this video in 2020. It was $11,000. After the Winklevoss’s explained it to me I got so confused I sold it all. It’s now at $104,000. I’ve been chasing it ever since. Dave is sad.

@DoctorTro I’m eating real food only. No sugar. Essentially following Lustig. Fasting. Lost 40 pounds so far, but my blood pressure keeps going up. I am on heroic doses of meds but can still hit 220/120. What to try? I live a low stress life. I’m doing it right.

The delay in filing the landmark Australian proceedings against Pfizer/Moderna for unapproved gene therapies proved to be fortuitous.
It allowed the legal team to uncover the wealth of information now coming out about synthetic DNA contamination.
Lawyer Julian Gillepsie says this synthetic DNA is much worse as it very easily integrates into human DNA. Changes the way genes operate leading to an enormous array of adverse health outcomes.
This is a strong case the facts of which are becoming increasingly difficult to refute!!

@elonmusk You need to identify "first to market/publish" that then gets a ✅ then once it's scrapped it no longer gets that and users can elect to see only FTT. " first to Twitter. Just focus on user. Ps. My pleasure.

@TimSweeneyEpic Several hundred organizations (maybe more) were scraping Twitter data extremely aggressively, to the point where it was affecting the real user experience.
What should we do to stop that? I’m open to ideas.

Shortly after Steve Jobs returned as the CEO of Apple in 1997, he met with Jony Ive, Apple’s Senior VP of industrial design.
Apple had 40 products on the market.
“Jony, how many things have you said no to?” Jobs asked.
Ive was confused.
“You have to understand,” Jobs said,
“There are measures of focus, and one of them is how often you say no.”
“What focus means,” Jobs taught Ive, “is saying no to something that you—with every bone in your body—think is a phenomenal idea, and you wake up thinking about it, but you say no to it because you're focusing on something else.”
Jobs walked up to a whiteboard and drew a 2 x 2 grid. On top, he wrote “Consumer” and “Professional.” Down the side, “Portable” and “Desktop.”
Four products—meet Apple’s new radically focused product line, Jobs said.
After that meeting, over the next two decades, Jobs and Ive—focused on making a few high-quality products while saying no to everything else—transformed a dying, near-bankrupt company into one of the most valuable companies in the world, worth over $2.9 trillion.
Takeaway 1:
The philosopher Marcus Aurelius pointed out that the focus of doing less “brings a double satisfaction.”
You get the satisfaction of having fewer things to do. And…you get the satisfaction of doing those fewer things at a higher level.
You get “to do less, better.”
During Steve Jobs’ first visit to Jony Ive’s design studio, he looked around, and then he said, “Fuck, you’ve not been very effective, have you?”
It was clear to Jobs that Ive was full of ideas and potential he wasn’t able to execute or fulfill under Apple’s previous leadership.
In the Jobs era of “doing less, better,” Ive was very effective.
Some products he designed include: iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and AirPods.
Takeaway 2:
Even though he slashed the product line down to four products, Jobs loved to have and hear ideas.
“Steve used to say to me,” Ive said, “and he used to say this a lot, ‘Hey, Jony, here’s a dopey idea.’ And sometimes they were: really dopey. Sometimes they were truly dreadful.
But sometimes they took the air from the room, and they left us both completely silent.”
It made me think of what Jerry Seinfeld identifies as the ultimate skill of the artist: “taste and discernment.”
“It’s one thing to create,” Seinfeld says. It’s one thing to have ideas.
“The other is you have to choose. ‘What are we going to do, and what are we not going to do?’” What are we going to add to the product line, and what are we not going to add?
“This is a gigantic aspect of [artistic] survival,” Seinfeld continues.
“It’s kind of unseen—what’s picked and what is discarded—but mastering that is how you stay alive.”

“Everything just got simpler. That’s been one of my mantras—focus and simplicity.” — Steve Jobs
