An idea recently: Our favorite book is the one we’ve bought the most copies of. Likewise our least favorite book is the one we’ve owned the longest without ever reading.

@DanGrover Oh my god hardware is not software x100. All us former failed hardware folk who couldn’t get cash last time are shocked (but also exited).

There is going to be a *ton* of malinvestment as SaaS investors crowd into hard tech/robotics without understanding landscape and being able to contextualize technical claims.

That’s my hood!

@anna_ofthenorth So sad HK was cancelled!!

Tokyo tomorrow !!! Are you ready ? :);):)

@starsandrobots Mas.to

@starsandrobots I had to move servers as mine shut down. This one seems ok. It’s nowhere near as easy or nice as Twitter but eh, trying to support good people and would be happy to have you there too!

I’ve started somewhat displacing Twitter with Duolingo but it’s just not the same. Why can’t I find a good displacement/replacement for what I get from opening this app?

@parabasis So many issues

@g_meslin Or up sides?

So it turns out that elevating a sociopath to an oligarch and allowing him to form his own private army might have possible downsides…

@highheat208 Because they’re balls but called strikes by that ump? Agree we need hitting coach change but that ump was out of control bad. Can’t defend if every pitch is a strike

@katiejwoo How are we so terrible against sliders?

Down a run with a runner on in the bottom of the ninth, the Cardinals lose.... their manager and their bench coach. Oli Marmol and Joe McEwing were just ejected by home plate umpire Junior Valentine.

@Jonlewis1091979 Nah 0-1 makes every hitter worse. Have to defend against balls? That’s not baseball.

@katiejwoo Don’t blame the ump. Blame the cardinals blowing leads and not driving runners on. Blaming the ump is letting this team off the hook

@MattSmirking @katiejwoo That ump was out of control bad.

@katiejwoo I mean the calls were pretty horrible so given the situation and the level of team frustration they probably were in the right to let the ump have it

@katiejwoo Every batter had a ball called a strike. This loss not on the cards, very tough game to play if count starts 0-1. Hope the ump makes the story. Not the offense.

@EC Just his a bunch of eggs in a back yard before heading to SFO. Wish I’d been there to seen them find! Happy Easter.

Wish anyone would tell me why Cardinals are so low on Dylan Carlson. Switch hitting CF who break into majors at 21 are not common. Looked good in spring training. Definitely better than some of the people being played. Chemistry issue? #STLCards @_Ben_Clemens @katiejwoo

@parabasis Congratulations!

Classic combination of frantically trying to get every last dime out of a bank because your friends said to and buying stock in that bank. The economy is in good hands...

@starsandrobots I feel this so much some days. Would love to know what triggers it for you.

This week has particularly had me feeling that the life I have now is a hard fork from my pre-2020 life and I can no longer imagine what the parallel (no pandemic disruption) track would probably look like, nor can I any longer remember what the world used to be like.

Singapore released a white paper regarding its Covid-19 response; here are the main points: looking back at their experience, and how they can improve their response for the next pandemic. That Hong Kong won’t even bother to conduct a public inquiry is, honestly, shameful

Ministop has a service called Ministop Pocket. Businesses can install a mini conbini for employees to enjoy. You can even curate the items offered. This needs to be rolled out around the world now. mspocket.ministop-fc.com/?ssp=1&darksch…
