@Austen Do you have anyone (who's not on the school's payroll) with subject matter expertise in K-12 education or childhood development giving you information on how they're doing?

Overall, we're very pleased. I'm not a representative of the school in any way, so I probably can't answer all of the questions you'll have, but the best place to learn more is generally 2hourlearning.com

Tomorrow wraps up the first 5 months of my kids attending the school where all of the learning is powered by AI (and no teachers). I get asked almost every day what the experience is like. In short: it's truly wild. Here's what it's like overall:

“Hey can you Venmo me for _, my username is evanmoyer.eth” The fact that this is possible today for sending and receiving crypto on PayPal and Venmo is so based

Microsoft CTO @Kevin_Scott on what you should be building in the age of AI: Anything that used to be impossible, and is now merely hard.

@bramk @iampaulgrewal @TokenAddict @coinbase It is true that people who traffic in conspiracy-theory based psychobabble are unable to explain why. It is true that people who get their news from memes are unable to explain why. It is not true that no one can explain why

@iampaulgrewal @TokenAddict @coinbase But NOBODY seems to be able to explain WHY. “Because the SEC says so” ?

This week, this day, has been a rollercoaster unlike any other I’ve seen. ETH is effectively deemed a Commodity as we’ve always known it to be. I’m proud to be on team @Coinbase, the trusted partner and custodian for many of the issuers who had 19b-4’s approved tonight.

The Securities and Exchange Commission approved the first U.S. exchange-traded funds holding ether—the largest cryptocurrency behind bitcoin—in an about-face that surprised the crypto community on.wsj.com/4dMqVtr on.wsj.com/4dMqVtr

The SEC paved the way for trading in ETFs that invest directly in the cryptocurrency Ether, putting the digital-asset industry on the cusp of a significant milestone trib.al/Yx4lYsS

@altryne @debarghya_das you seem to think you are. That’s what the immigration official picked up on and that’s why you had a problem. Your wealth makes you think the rules don’t apply to you, but they do.

@altryne @debarghya_das The L1-A visa is a nonimmigrant that’s initially granted for one year and can be extended a couple of times until reaching the maximum limit of 7 years. It doesn’t have a “path to citizenship” at all much less one that’s “built in.” You are not entitled to immigrate to the US but

The cruelty of the US immigration system is unparalleled. One officer in a bad mood can reject months and years of hard work in 5 minutes.

@lindaholmes With any due respect, if you make a snap judgment within the first few HOURS of something that’s potentially this big, then pop culture probably shouldn’t be your beat

@CaseyMattox_ Is the implied threat in the room with us right now, Casey?

Trade association challenges new state law on 1st Amendment grounds. Governor writes them a letter demanding that they dismiss the lawsuit and cc's member companies in what is an obvious implied threat. You may not have heard about this because the state wasn't Florida.

@ArmandDoma It’s all longevity stuff

what is he training for

@DeanPreston @DeanPreston most people in SF would disagree with you on this. Don’t believe me? Let’s test whether people agree with you. Put a proposition on the ballot: “Should people be arrested for use of a controlled substance in public without a prescription?” It will pass by a landslide

@lisa_iannattone @1goodtern With all due respect, your “I bet” statement is borderline libelous. You don’t know him (nor do I) but you’re jumping to quite a conclusion about him based on him deleting a tweet. The work you’re doing is important; people need to know what’s going on. But this is not okay

@1goodtern He deleted that tweet as soon as people replied with articles on covid increasing kids’ risk of developing diabetes. I’d bet good money that going forward he’ll just deny that he’s seeing a rise in diabetes diagnoses.

The number of kids that I'm hearing about with new diabetes diagnoses is unnerving. Even the minimisers are noticing:

@robpertray For the love of god, please learn some even some basic U.S. civics and tune into the reality of who individual senators are. Yes, democrats could have raised or even eliminated the debit ceiling in the late duck session but Manchin and Sinema would not vote for that

@drorpoleg He left Google in December 2016

“The documents are likely to reveal dissenting opinions within the agency’s own ranks as to which cryptocurrencies are securities and why. And by so doing, they are likely to bolster Ripple’s case.” - ⁦@SamLyman33⁩ Great article forbes.com/sites/digital-…

@motion2action Want a simple tax return? You are 100% welcome to claim no tax deductions if you don’t want to take them. The it’s super easy to do your taxes. No one’s forcing you to take deductions. The IRS doesn’t care if you don’t

All of this nonsense w/govt spending & overhead. Tax receipts falling. Hiring and paying for 87,000 new IRS agents. There should be an across the board 15% tax rate and few loopholes. Everyone pays. With 501c’s still an exception. You make X, you pay X. That’s it.

@eringriffith They don’t mean the same thing

i hate the phrase "on-trend." just say its trendy
