we absolutely perfected the art of arbitrage but little else.

we look back at the period of zero percent interest rates and be astonished we didn't do more to take advantage of such an amazing opportunity

@KeithNHumphreys So grateful that my job doesn’t involve chasing after the scent left by some other reporter in hopes of scoring a meal.
Same goes for journalists forced to write about straight women horny for gay hockey players. What a sad gig it is writing these little puff pieces.

BREAKING: The number of journalists writing about polyamory has now surpassed the number of people engaging in it. Congratulations to all.

I have been dreaming of this day for a long time.
Arena is now a book publisher, and our first volume, "Silicon" is open for preorders.
It's quite unlike anything you've seen: a coffee table book capturing the ecstatic beauty of silicon technology. arenamag.com/silicon

No single established group perfectly matches every trait, but they describe "realist liberals" or "principled freedom hawks": classical liberals who reject woke extremes on both sides, confront threats like Islamism with strength, back free markets and speech, favor secure borders without isolationism, and champion dissidents in Iran or Cuba while putting America and allies first. You'll spot them in independent online communities and think tanks focused on evidence over ideology.
English
Need a name for those who are
- not Woke Left
- not Woke Right
- anti-Islamist
- aggressive to bullies
- not anti-Semitic
- not “I’m not anti-Jew I’m anti-[BS here]”
- for free speech
- for civil liberties
- against “balancing” civil liberties
- for free markets
- for cost benefit analyses
- for tight immigration
- against isolationism
- contemptuous of international law
- against foreign dictatorships
- “America First,” not “Israel Last”
- love Iranians
- “Free Iran” but not “Free Palestine”
- appreciative that strength brings peace
- want Cuba free
Suggestions?

NEW: Wired’s editor Katie Drummond said it added 200k new paid subs last year. She told me: “If you still don’t understand why Wired covers politics, you are either willfully ignorant or a complete idiot.”

What a pernicious crock of shit.

Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

@lindaa718 @illapaNYC What do people who have lived in nyc all their lives look like?
English
@illapaNYC So you basically talked to young immigrants. Doesn't look like people who have lived in NYC all their lives.

Thank you to the dozens of volunteers who came out to our petitioning launch today!
We talked to hundreds of our neighbors about our campaign to tax the rich, win universal childcare + lower Con Ed bills, and kick ICE out of New York.
English
what adam neumann is doing now is such an obviously good idea.
most of american life unless scheduled is super isolationist so you rarely get those spontaneous interactions with ppl.. this sorta flips that around right at the point of where ppl spend majority of their lives.
anyway, it’s super duper interesting to see the wework model applied to residential.

If your friends aren't talking about:
• that the smell after a summer rain is called petrichor
• if you can cut a worm in half and you'll have two worms
• frozen grocery store breakfast burritos
• teenage engineering synthesizers
• daniel donato
• benefits of buying new socks every week
• throwing your phone into the river
It's time to find new friends.

With buzzfeed at $26m valuation... isn't it cheaper to merge with it to become "public" rather than pay the fees around a traditional SPAC?

Bear with me as I go "founder mode" (derogatory).
The project I've been working on was featured by the App Store today, so figured it was a good time to explain it in my first ever "🧵". It's called Postcard and it helps you answer the v real question: "what should I eat today"
English
It honestly does a lot more (while also still v much a work in progress) but I'll stop here bc that's enough "🧵" for now. Check it out at postcard.inc and pls don't ratio me

@katienotopoulos I'm going to start a twitter community for all of us attempting to learn, we can detail our progress and encourage each other over there!

I can't do the loud whistle with your fingers, but I feel like if I really spent time on it I could learn. And I feel certain it would change my life to become a Loud Whistle person, I'd do it so much and everyone would be so jealous and impressed with my whistle

My 14-year-old daughter takes the NYC subway alone at 7pm (still basically rush hour!) all the time. What are we even talking about??
CSPAN@cspan
.@SecDuffy: "I'm a Republican, and I love transit…You should be able to have your 14-year-old daughter get on a metro train in New York City at 7 o'clock at night and feel safe. And there's no way in hell I would ever put my daughter on the MTA in New York."

They think this way because they think it largely won't effect their day-to-day operations and they are largely correct. At PE or Hedge Funds the models don't do much other than acting as a quicker google. If you already have a bloomberg terminal there is not much these models can do for you.
More importantly, most of these types grew up well adjusted and were popular/athletic in high school so they don't fall for the resentment fantasy (AGI/ASI/Rokos basilisk/etc.) sweeping the Bay Area (full of theatre, nerdy types). It is funny how much of modern discourse can still be modeled through American high schools.
English
It is kind of interesting: the East Coast magazine types are seemingly intelligent people, seemingly selected through very tight funnels -- great universities, great SAT scores, they can often think critically, follow long and established traditions of thought, etc. but here we are moving at breakneck pace through this unprecedented technological revolution which by any reasonable consensus has decent odds of literally ending biological life as we know it in all sorts of horrible ways, and all they can think about is that... prose is getting kinda worse on the way? That some writing sounds a little sloppier now? That they are not fans of the style? This is somehow their elephant in the room? What? Is this just what happens when you compound bad epistemic habits for decades? Functional paralysis in otherwise sane minds?

@RachaelRad famously, there was never any bad press about Microsoft so this checks out.
English
When I was at Meta (then called FB) I asked a journalist friend if the reason (back then) there was never any palace intrigue coverage and employee leak stories about Amazon was because there weren’t as many tech reporters in Seattle and he said basically yes.
Patrick Collison@patrickc
There's a lot of unevenness in how much attention internal drama and palace intrigue gets across different organizations. As far as I can tell, this is substantially a matter of path dependency: we know the characters in the sitcom of certain organizations but not at others, creating self-reinforcing lock-in effects. How much does one hear about the power struggles at Chevron or the Department of Agriculture? There is even significant heterogeneity between ostensibly similar companies within sectors.

@scoobydsnacks @geoffwolfe that’s utterly false. the most successful people in every field, tech music sports finance politics all reside in Miami.
English
The sad thing is Keith could have started a VC/startup pilgrimage to LA a few years ago and that might have actually taken off. CA politics isn’t the friendliest still but LA has more Miami-like attributes that @rabois lauds, along with better talent/universities.
Sheel Mohnot@pitdesi
I thought "lemme see what the data says" but it was much harder than I expected because Miami has actually fallen off the chart...
