Obama saw how much hype Zohran’s broken jumper got and had to remind people who’s the truth. Also Anthony Edwards gotta have the best PR team in history

Ant Edwards. President Barack Obama. It began at Team USA Training camp and turned into a game of one-on-one we didn’t know we needed.

@Statholesports You should adjust this for minutes played. Every NBA player could score 30+ at least a few times with more minutes

Recently picked up Arabian Crypto, co-authored by @charlesdhaussy.
It’s a collection of perspectives, history and experience from people building in the region and gives a good sense of why the UAE has become a major hub for Web3.
I worked with Charles at dYdX and he’s one of the most thoughtful and nicest people in the industry. Highly recommend buying this book it's worth the read.

1. Ty for open sourcing the algo.
@nikitabier. Underrated but unprecedented in social media.
2. A neat/insightful next step would be an “observer mode” where you could type in ppl’s @ and see their news feed.
I think it will both expose users to new views and allow users to see why ppl with differing beliefs believe those things.

Peter Thiel's 2020 intro of The Sovereign Individual, originally published in 1997, on what it got wrong:
"And of course, there are some things they missed: above all, the rise of China. The twenty-first-century People's Republic of China under the Communist Party has created its very own version of the Information Age with decidedly nationalist, ethnically homogenous, profoundly statist characteristics. This is probably the single biggest "megapolitical” development since the book came out.
In truth, the great conflict over our megapolitical future is only just beginning. On the dimension of technology, the conflict has two poles: Al and crypto. Artificial Intelligence holds out the prospect of finally solving what economists call the "calculation problem": Al could theoretically make it possible to centrally control an entire economy. It is no coincidence that Al is the favorite technology of the Communist Party of China. Strong cryptography, at the other pole, holds out the prospect of a decentralized and individualized world. If Al is communist, crypto is libertarian."

Met membership allows you to enter an hour before the public. I was the only person in the 19th Century European art for forty minutes (!!)

LPT: Get to the museum before opening and beeline for the classics as soon as it opens. Viewing them alone is akin to a religious experience.
