Lufthansa@lufthansa·
@W_ScottWeiss I am sorry to hear that you are missing your baggage. Please be reassured that my colleagues at the airport are doing their best to forward delayed baggage as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can check the status of your baggage on our website lufthansa.com/trace-delayed-…. /Nils

I cannot believe @lufthansa cannot find my bags after 24 hours… Normally, it’s a well run airline but the service and follow up has been absolutely horrible! HELP!

@benedictevans How about: “I wanted to apologize for the blue check kerfuffle (fiasco) - we’re trying to figure how to make this thing profitable so there will be some bumps along the way. We gave you the blue check for free - It would be great if you’d start tweeting again🙏”

@paulg Agreed - the tweetstorm worked b/c each one had to stand on its own and was therefore constructed to make a succinct series of supporting points vs the ramblings of an essay.

I don't know about other people, but long-form tweets seem a lose to me. I'm reluctant to click on them, and usually dismayed when I do. There's probably a good way to allow longer tweets, but this doesn't seem it.

@alexiskold @ycombinator They are likely the most promising investments - in looking at super early founders, the most technically astute are usually the worst presenters at the beginning…

@paulg @SteveStuWill Darwin’s study of guppies: Same species of guppy at different altitudes revealed guppies in pools at higher altitudes faced fewer predators & were fat, shiny and gaudy, the ones at the lower pools with lots of predators were thinner/duller… Flashy birds have few natural enemies.

@SteveStuWill Why birds? Because feathers offer such opportunities for display, or some other reason?

@AmandaMGoetz Definitely need to disaggregate religion. A day a week to put down your phones, break bread with your community, listen to some music and have some meaningful life lessons eg a TED talk would do wonders for people getting off anti-depressants…

things I’m bullish on: 1) the rise of a modern day country club or millennial living communities. With the decline of religion, we need places to go where we can see people / have organized events, etc. soho house is all we have.

@xtinacomputes I know you asked for fiction but since the next variable was teamwork, the two best teamwork books are Undaunted Courage (Lewis and Clark expedition) and The Endurance (survival story of a failed attempt to reach the south pole) - both non-fiction though…

@wholemars There should be a sci-fi about being stranded in our self driving car because of “weather delay”.

One of the rookie mistakes a software entrepreneur will make is spend a bunch of time and $ with a patent attorney vs hiring and making product progress. A unique, elegant product that aggressively evolves becomes it own prior art.

@BrianBrackeen In my experience, this also applies to people who study art, physics, math, any type of engineering and astronomy. And the best raw sales talent usually played some type of competitive team sport…

** FOUNDER TIP ** When looking for raw engineering talent, search for musicians. My father (engineering VP) taught me this. Musicians are creative problem solvers, they read “code” (musical notes) for hours, they sit still for hours. They have muscle memory to be great engineers

“A 2019 study of NFL players from 1979-2013 found their average life expectancy was 59.6 years.” These are athletes? Is it stress, mental health, getting banged up? all three. boston.com/sports/the-bos…

@NBAMemes Honestly, prior to 2020, it would be Andrew Wiggins, #1 pick, “next Lebron”, so much hype and meh in the wrong system. Just missing the ridiculous “My House” State Farm commercials! (Let’s hope he follows Wiggs to become a resurrected superstar…)
