@Substack so like should we just get used to your app being down for hours a day at this point?

@DDrolapas I have a legal unit at my house, and I would never in a million years rent it out.

I once was selling a rent controlled apartment building in San Francisco and one of the tenants was a group of early Facebook employees. I approached them and asked if they would be interested in buying the building because I figured they had significant net worths. They were not interested at all. I think about this often.

@NancyMace A good way to test a proposal is to try to argue the opposite. For example, "young families struggling both to raise children and look after their parents should not pay property taxes." Fun game, right?

Our seniors should not pay property taxes.

@enhanced_games Wow, he ran the 974th fastest 100m of all time. Amaze.

World's fastest man at the #EnhancedGames belongs to Fred Kerley (9.97s). Captures the $250,000 grand prize.

@jbillinson C’mon. He ran the 964th fastest time in history!

All the critics of Peter Thiel’s steroid Olympics have been silenced as Fred Kerley finishes astonishingly close to the (1968) world record

@JeremiahDJohns Today’s players are faster, bigger, more skilled, more accurate, smarter, better coached than at any time in history.

This three minutes of basketball is aesthetically ugly, less athletic, less strategically complex, less skilled, and all-around just objectively worse than the basketball played today in the NBA.

@AndrewMorcheles @cremieuxrecueil Lots of brilliant people are devoting their lives to curing cancer at universities, startups, and big pharma all over the world. I know some of them. Believing that all of these people are just faking it in the service of a vast international conspiracy is insulting.

@michaelrwolfe @cremieuxrecueil Big Pharma are way too smart to cure cancer.

Eli Lilly has done it. They've gone and made what seems to be a powerful, permanent gene therapy for LDL cholesterol. That means they'll be able to effectively prevent most heart disease with a single infusion!

@LifeOfPhat @staysaasy Talent is how good you are at something and how rapidly you’ll improve. Experience is how long you’ve been doing it. Some people can run a 5 minute mile the first time they get on a track. Others can train their whole life and not crack 8.

@staysaasy What's the diff between talent and experience?

It's super simple: High talent + experienced: 10/10 High talent + inexperienced: 8/10 Middling talent + experienced: 4/10 Middling talent + inexperienced: 3/10 Absolutely crazy how companies continue to get this so catastrophically wrong.

@SS_strength Most of these athlete were second tier or past their prime. A few % enhancement is not going to put them within range of a record.

Olympians when athletes able to take every PED under the sun can't break their records

@thechosenberg Whether you’d protect a loved one you knew to be guilty of murder is a common question asked to determine the health of a culture. In healthy and ethical cultures, the answer is more likely to be yes. In toxic and corrupt cultures, the answer is no.

What’s the point of asking these kinds of questions

@AndrewMorcheles @cremieuxrecueil If Big Pharma cured cancer you’d post the exact same thing.

@cremieuxrecueil Serious question: Besides big pharma and investors, who could this guy’s posts possibly benefit?

@kat_maryb “And now, it’s just another show.”

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

@Rianstone Yes to both questions.

I don't watch euphoria. Does Sydney show nip or would I be wasting my time watching it?

@utpalnadiger Why drive 17 minutes when great beaches are right in the city?

the crazy part about living in sf is a bali-esque beach is a 17 minute drive away.

I posted about the debate about if AI can develop taste, and a bunch of people pointed out that AI doesn't have tastebuds.

And they have to decide what's right for them, not you. And it's way too early for them to know at this age. Ask the question again when they are 16. It's also too early to know what the role of college will be in 10 years. You can argue it will be less important than ever, but you can just as easily argue it will be more important than ever.

Parents, honest question for you all My kids (3 daughters) are 10+ years away from turning 18 and college is looking less and less like the path What’s the new plan?

@downbadcomment It takes a lot for a guy to do this. Your voice must be far worse than you are even aware.

@SMB_Attorney The world is a big place. There is some room for a few fringe experiments. Plus the Enhanced Games has pretty strict guidelines of its own about what is allowed and not.

Am I the only one uninterested in the Enhanced Games? It bothers me / creeps me out to think what these guys are doing to their bodies. Woof.

@t_blom My favorite founders spend their time at industry tradeshows at the Columbus Airport Hilton. Bonus if they can't afford to attend the show so just hang out at the bar 24 hours a day.

A founder just apologized for dialing in to office hours from a car. It’s the sixth time he’s done this. He spends close to 100% of his time meeting customers in unglamorous places a long way from San Francisco. I wish more founders did this.

@ringooo789 @TheRealEstateG6 People who run successful job searches don’t post about it on LinkedIn.

@michaelrwolfe @TheRealEstateG6 Thousands of people at any given time over the course of multiple years claiming the same thing is not an anecdote...

People are still discussing jobs on here like it’s 2015 That era is over. A decent house in a nice neighborhood is $2 million. Monthly expenses for a very standard lifestyle with a family are $20k If you want any sort of luxury lifestyle, it's own a business or bust
