Should be required signage in every conference room

@yassineARK Only 600k transactions?

Over the weekend, Bitcoin settled ~$33 billion, facilitated ~600k transactions, & issued 2,037 new BTC at a steady & predictable ~1.8% inflation rate. ~1 million new addresses were generated & miners earned $43 m producing 326 blocks. Banks were closed. The Fed was not needed.

You're thinking of this place all wrong. As if I had your money back in a safe. Your money's not here. Your money is in Adam Neumann's crypto climate project, in social media networks with 15 users, in a16z's 200th B2B Saas startup, and in 100 other unprofitable tech companies!

@destraynor Or Medium article. "Everything you need to know about good UX can be learned from this Taxi driver"

In the Heyday of UX this single anecdote could have been the basis of multiple conference keynotes and a few TEDx talks too.

@doomsdayslam @_SkyCake_ @ohshidt This was in the Bronx, you wheezy turkey.

@RobertGrzesik @pwthornton @paulg If your only learning method is to build something, ship it, and wait/analyze results, you are doing product very poorly.

@pwthornton @paulg Shipping anything is better than nothing. The team will learn in the coming months what matters to customers and what is valuable

Whatever you say about Elon's tenure, Twitter does actually ship now.

@FoxtailBooks @taffyakner Definitely! A few from my family road trips: -Rest Stop (ep 388) -129 Cars (ep 512) -Notes on Camp (ep 129) -Babysitting (ep 175)

@taffyakner Search for the Best Episides of This American Life (I believe they list their “where to start” episodes on their app) for some easy crowd pleasers.

Twitter, if you’re still there: please help me find a narrative podcast for a 4-hour road trip with a 12- and 15-yo (and their parents)? They are tough critics! (Could be fiction or non)

@KO_Sulli @karldandleton1 @calebgamman Twitter made $5.08 billion from customers in 2021. Do you know what those customers bought?

@karldandleton1 @calebgamman Ad buyers =/ customers. You'll learn that on day 2.

man who recently bought website for $44 billion dollars infuriated to hear the basics of online advertising accurately explained

@SextonViii @real_cultleader @PizzaFacts2go @somebadideas @tallntran Let's not forget True Lies (albeit it's an adaptation of a French film).

@real_cultleader @PizzaFacts2go @somebadideas @tallntran Aliens, Terminator 2, Titanic are all time great movies and will be remembered as long as the medium exists. The Terminator introduced an iconic character and is an amazing achievement for a low budget film. True Lies and The Abyss aren’t classics but they’re pretty fucking great

Me getting ready to send little emails all day

@MorePerfectUS I mean, it's cool that the FTC is going after junk fees and all, but isn't the root cause that most of these companies are monopolies?

Ticketmaster’s scam fees now cost as much as 78% of a ticket. The company controls the events, the venues, even the artists and it’s destroying live music. Today, Joe Biden announced he will crack down on outrageous processing fees, like the ones on concert tickets.

Love how @ttorres frames that we often treat doing the work, talking about the work, and documenting the work as three mutually exclusive activities, when instead we should be aiming to visualize our thinking so that it accomplishes all three modes. producttalk.org/2022/10/keepin…

Carrying: monkey image Value: 0 dollars Sounds like a job for the paycheck gang 😎👍

JTBD has lots of practical applications that people have been exploring for the past 3 decades or so. Come learn how @jakemitchell used #JTBD in his project work in our monthly community call "JTBD Untangled." jtbd.tk/untangled-aug

Next question: do you think I could throw this football over that mountain?

@AlexDaiquiri @ampol_moment I too watched that season of The Americans.

@ampol_moment My understanding is they never intended to build any part of this and it was just a bluff to get the Soviets to expend resources? Am I wrong about that?

Ronald Reagan’s proposed Strategic Defense Initiative (known as Star Wars). $30 billion spent on the project. The plan: “A system armed with an array of space-based X-ray lasers would detect and deflect any nukes headed toward the United States.” (1983)

A lot of people make fun of design thinking workshops, but none are as brutal as DALL-E being able to so effortlessly prove that every workshop looks the same
