Host a custom email domain on Google? Deadline approaching, shifting to $6/mo PER USER for something that’s been free for years. GOOD news: Google will now let you stay with the old, free plan, if you certify that it is for personal use. One click. That’s it. AMA. 🙌🏻

@lifeofaaron Traffic isn’t always so light, but otherwise that’s absolutely legit!

My argument for why the future will be *multi-chain*, but it will not be *cross-chain*: there are fundamental limits to the security of bridges that hop across multiple "zones of sovereignty". From old.reddit.com/r/ethereum/com…:

Logistech is the next fintech 💥 It’s been underrated for so long, the supply chain crisis highlights how important technology in that industry is businessinsider.com/supply-chain-c…

1/n OK, let me explain what's going on with the Facebook right now. First, let's talk "routing". The Internet is a mesh of routers that forward packets. Packets go from source through a series of routers until they reach their destination.

Scarcity and the choices it forces is one of the greatest tools in effectiveness. This thread is excellent.

Steven looks at Apple software release process - he once ran both Microsoft Office and Microsoft Windows, his perspective is priceless:

Good HBR article on Motion vs. Action “You need to spend time on the future even when there are more important things to do in the present and even when there is no immediately apparent return to your efforts.”

@factormeals I’ve loved your meals, but my delivery didn’t arrive today. LaserShip says they didn’t receive the package. After waiting in your chat queue for well over 2 hours I’ve given up. What’s going on here‽ This is terrible customer support.

Strongly agree! “The right approach here is to give smart people the keys to solving problems on their own.”

@rands Years ago my father told me “In life there are energy givers and energy takers, you will need to learn to work with both.” I think about it a lot.

One of my many measures of humans on the team: do they add or remove entropy from the team?

@worksykes Agreed 100%! For years I worked about 5 min from my house. After a few months I started going in via a very circuitous route to fabricate a commute that was long enough to mentally ramp up/down. WFH, and this past year specifically, has been especially challenging in this regard.

theatlantic.com/magazine/archi… I’m a big believer in establishing consistent work bookends when you wfh. You need triggers to tell your brain you have transitioned from work to home.

Another version of innovator's dilemma. "Competition between an incumbent and a software-driven startup is 'a race, where the startup is trying to get distribution before the incumbent gets innovation'." - @arampell / @pmarca noahpinion.substack.com/p/interview-ma…

Humanity wastes about 500 years per day on CAPTCHAs. It’s time to end this madness. cfl.re/2R4UtwR

@TomWinzig Sync for notification dismissal across all iCloud devices would also be awesome!

@RCNconnects I’m having internet problems in NYC. Is there a general outage?

A system’s resilience is not defined by its lack of errors; it’s defined by its ability to survive many, many, many errors. We build systems that are friendlier to humans and users alike not by decreasing our tolerance for errors, but by increasing it. - @mipsytipsy
