Offhand — * Vacillation on masks, with abundant motivated reasoning in every case. * Promulgation of made-up thresholds with no evidentiary basis (e.g. 6 feet). * Authoritarian delight in nanny state intrusiveness (policing the beach and such). * 180 on many issues around BLM. * Lack of effective response from science funding bodies. * Denial of aerosolized transmission. * Changing of trial readouts so that they’d occur after the election. (Confirmed to me by senior OWS officials.) * Crazy criteria for vaccine distribution. * Adamant insistence on vaccine efficacy beyond what was supported by data. * Almost complete lack of follow-through on OWS (on pan-variant vaccines). I’m sure there are more, but those are the ones that stick out.

We know there are more than two words we can use to name AI products, right?

Satya Nadella@satyanadella

A great recruiting pitch is Naval’s quote: be part of something bigger than yourself, but on your own terms. Joining is underrated for founder types. Once people experience what it’s like to be on an incredible team, they wonder why they didn’t do it sooner, if only to learn how to build one.

Erik Torenberg@eriktorenberg

Some people aren’t just in big roles, they *are* the role. e.g. Tammy at Stripe. Solana at FF. Katherine at AD/a16z. For appropriate roles, recruit people whose natural inclinations fit your business and pitch them "be yourself, just with more support and a stronger platform."

Chamath Palihapitiya@chamath·31 Ara

Can’t have kids because you can’t afford daycare. Can’t afford daycare because most of the money is actually given to imaginary daycares, resulting in fewer spots and higher prices from the few real ones. It doesn’t have to be this way.

@scottastevenson Yes. I think about this a lot. "Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work." - Gustave Flaubert

Scott Stevenson@scottastevenson·27 Ara

Much of life is filled with stupid maintenance tasks like eating, cleaning, exercising, clearing your inbox, brushing your teeth, sleep hygiene. Paradoxically, your ability to actually do anything meaningful and creative relies on your ability to power through this stuff ultra-efficiently so that you actually have time for creativity. You can fill your entire day with maintenance tasks and never get to the "creating new value" part.

@jxnlco Even higher status: 3 people follow you around - 1 to take notes, and 2 to agree with you all the time.

It's incredibly low status to have to carry your laptop around. If you were a higher status, you would be doing your work on an iPad. If you were even higher status, you'd be doing your work on an iPhone. If you're even higher status, you're using an Android tri-flip phone. If you were even higher status, you would actually just be using a watch with an SMS feature. If you were even higher status, you would just have another person with a clipboard.

Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@Noahpinion·24 Kas

It's weird. The cost of movies has gone down so much -- cheap digital cameras, digital effects, automated post-processing tools. And yet there's been no explosion of quality movies being made. If anything, there are fewer today than before. Why??

Today marks 10yrs since the Bataclan massacre. Muslims slaughtered 130 and maimed 683. Victims were castrated, raped, disembowelled and tortured before execution. French authorities suppressed this fact for 'social cohesion'. This image was taken moments before the attack.🇫🇷

There used to be a fountain at the center of the Civic Center Plaza in SF. It was removed in 2003 because: > It's become an intolerable situation, and we don't have additional resources to continually clean it," said Alex Mamak, a spokesman for the Department of Public Works. Department crews clean out human filth and hypodermic needles every morning, only to find a new mess the next morning, Mamak said. This makes me want a new ranking of cities: ornamental fountains per capita. That is, those with the affinity for beauty to construct them, and with the social trust and dignity to sustain them.

“We’re getting acquired” “We will operate independently” Both of these things cannot be simultaneously true

You can't book a Waymo on the peninsula yet but they seem to be ramping up. Drove next to 2 empty waymos the past week - one on El Camino and one on 101.
