@HaltonPolice Any further update? The barrier was expanded west about an hour ago so parents are unable to get kids from Play Project. (Previously it was still possible to get there)

UPDATE: The incident is ongoing and the road closure remains in place. If you are in the immediate area, please continue to stay indoors and shelter in-place until further notice.

BURLINGTON: Please avoid Mainway and Walkers Line in Burlington. Officers are on-scene and an investigation is ongoing.

@c_mcc50009 @HaltonPolice Is that the car star on mainway?

@HaltonPolice Play project is blocked and has kids there for March camp. Will we be able to get through to pick up up the kids, and is Play Project specifically at threat? (Can’t get through to them)

“We’re viewing ourselves now as having an opportunity not only to make construction faster for designers but … to be an operating system that can connect everyone in construction,” @part3software’s Jack Sadler (@jacksads) told me. #CDNtech betakit.com/part3-serves-n…

As architects, we do not "sign off" on orders for stuff like cabinetry, counters, rebar, windows, etc. We review shop drawings and submittals for material, spec, color, finish, etc, but *not* quantity and stuff related to field conditions. We aren't responsible for making sure shop drawings conform to field dimensions, that's on the GC. As they should want it to be! A good GC doesn't want the *architect* messing with stuff like that; a bad one does, so they can pass the buck. While we're at it, GCs, if you change a material or a spec, you need to get approval from the architect. This isn't bc architects are obsessive control freaks, this is to protect yourself. If you deviate from the CDs, without approval from the architect, it's on your head if anything fails or goes wrong. But what if what the the architect put in the drawings is wrong or a bad idea? Then send them an RFI, or an email, or bring it up in a meeting and make sure your voice is heard. If you have a legit concern, you should go on record with it, and come to the table with proposed solutions backed with real info. Proper procedures during construction protect everyone: GC, owner, and architect. (PS Developers: if you don't know how Contract Administration (aka the construction phase) should work from a legal, contractual, and liability standpoint, STOP and learn it. Messing up CA has financial and liability implications both during the project *and* during the statute of limitations after the project ends...5-7 or more years!)

@reddy_kp @darrenmarble Good insight! Now we can try and guess which category we fall into! 😎

I can only talk about how I do it. 1. First call. Doesn’t fit thesis. You get a pass under 15 minutes. 2. Interested. Maybe even opened my mind to a new space. Then doing research to understand the entire sector and whether you will win. 3. Interested but a workload problem. This is interesting because founders that have a compelling event can sometimes skip the line.

Why do VCs ghost instead of saying they’re passing? 🤔

@darrenmarble Volume?

If you’re still thinking about AI as a ‘feature’ you’re behind, and doing it wrong. AI is an enabler of those features and experiences you couldn’t create before. Don’t build useless AI for the sake of it, use AI to build better experiences.

@MyBuddyAndrew @BleylDev @PeterDiamandis Diagnostics?

@BleylDev @PeterDiamandis Maybe but not Repair

Is there anything that AI will NEVER disrupt?

@EvaWBos You don’t 😅

Founders: How do you support yourself financially when building your start up?

@arinewman Positioning fit maybe. No one’s used the product, how could it fit?

@jonathanhillis5 @hellostartupla @OfficialBBrooks @agazdecki @lolitataub @hpierrejacques @TurnerNovak Depends on the business

If you were to launch a business in a US city which one would you choose? And why? #citylaunch #startups #betalaunch @hellostartupla @OfficialBBrooks @agazdecki @lolitataub @hpierrejacques @TurnerNovak

@NorthStandChat Beat Grimbsby, get to Wembley!

You can have only one win... #BHAFC beat Palace but lose to Grimsby, or #BHAFC lose to Palace but beat Grimsby. Which win do you choose?

@GamewithDave 4

Which controller was your first?

@frantzfries @NotionHQ Now you’ve pointed it out it would have bothered me, but I’d also continue to use Notion every single day 😅

@jacksads @NotionHQ I’m just glad they agree it’s a thing! Those few pixels *matter*

Big fan of @NotionHQ but this drives me nuts

@NotionHQ @frantzfries Pretty specific issue to find in only 3 questions, NotionHQ your support rep needs a promotion 👏

@frantzfries Thanks for confirming! We've identified this as a rendering bug in the browser engine that our desktop app uses (Chromium Blink) — it occurs only when "small text" is toggled on. Appreciate the report. We'll continue to troubleshoot 👍🏼

@balajis And like 90% male… maybe not so diverse

Getting excited for #SAASNORTH! Part3 will be there sharing how our software is modernizing Architecture and Engineering firms across North America!!

I had a great time today chatting with Jeff about CA, Entrepreneurship and much more! Check it out and let me know if you’re in Austin next week! @EntreArchitect

Event deets here eventbrite.ca/e/construction…
