@sarahbellmaps Fisk's Mississippi Meanders (1944) -- for elegantly showing the changing river -- and implicitly communicating the river's ancientness, and a future filled with change.

@CindyBiSV I've had PE firms ask me whether I knew appropriate startups to apply new tech and leadership to large legacy businesses. If I were a EV startup founder, I might be willing to take some crazy dilution if I suddenly was made CEO of Chrysler.
English
What type of founder would agree to dilute 50% at early stage? The lead VC sounds predatory.

@TrisalynNelson You *could* walk... maybe bike... The 120W meridian is about 12km west of campus.

@glennon Now I will have to go on a walk and find this!!!

What do you learn when you have lunch with @UCSBgeog emeritus faculty? The courtyard has a time capsule!
English
And now we know what is inside the capsule. Only 52 years to go.

@ericbahn Wealthy, smaller town DMVs can be fine. When I was at UCSB, the Santa Barbara DMV was downright pleasant.
English
DMVs have a timeless, terrible quality that is oddly comforting, in how reliably bad they are.

@abhishek_tri The original news releases about the policy change used imprecise language, which is being misinterpreted. US citizens violating the new restrictions are subject to criminal prosecution. As used in the news stories, "citizenship" refers to US workers' obligations to follow US law

What happened in China yesterday is massive. I haven’t seen anything as big in my lifetime. Basically Biden said to American engineers working in China in the semiconductor to either resign or be ready to lose their American citizenship. Everyone resigned. Industry collapsed 🤯

@RogerRa09234150 Trump reduced those National Monument boundaries during his presidency--that is, he made the protected areas smaller. Biden restored the original boundaries during his presidency. Both Presidents' actions are controversial to the others' constituents.

@Catzgurl1 Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Monuments

What were those monuments? President Trump put a 10 year prison term on anyone that destroys or defaces our nat’l monuments…

President Biden restored full protection to three national monuments that the previous Administration attempted to reduce or eliminate.

@CindyBiSV I'm going to have to brush up on all the old VC math and modeling.

@makeitepic They just made an announcement that the panel will start in a few minutes and to silence cell phones.

@AndreaFunsten Oh... Burning Man... that's why I found a parking spot near my doctor's office yesterday.

@frazierapproves It's easy to do the math with an online compound interest calculator. It takes a long time (~70 years at 4%), but it's possible.
English
@andrewljohnson Every six years or so, there's a VR hype cycle. It seems to accumulate an additional thing each time... first was VR, next cycle was AR/VR, and this cycle we get to see metaverse added and defined ad hoc to whatever suits the person pitching or VC's interest.

What is something VCs believed in as much as crypto that never worked out?

@morganlinton Currently ~9% chance of unclaimed Otherdeed having a Koda. Otherdeed floor w/Koda is 24.49ETH (more like 27ETH on Chemical Goo with Koda). So, maybe a 6 or 7x multiple over non-Koda floor. So--risk about 7.5 eth for a 9% chance of 27ETH. Seems like a serum hold. Mega chance 0.18%
