@robgcarroll Thanks for sharing your observations, they align with what I saw in Nov of last year when I went. Love your motto that Americans and Cubans SHOULD talk.

Best thing on the internet today

@thogge If you have a high bar for the growth criteria, what's the downside to going wider geographically? It won't be as dense, but you'll have better geographic representation, which makes the list more useful.

[Derek Pando @djpando]

@thogge that would work, just make sure you have good regional VC representation, or you'll miss some gems. are you just going to take the VC's word on the revenue and the growth rate? Any sort of verification?

@amazon should pay the admin for every neighborhood Facebook group, because it is the most effective way lost packages find their homes.

tensions inside an institution (political, social, religious, business) are a feature, not a bug

[Derek Pando @djpando]

Last week I fulfilled a life long dream to go to Cuba. It was a incredible experience on so many levels, so of course I wrote an extremely long blog post about it for anyone interested. https://t.co/uCNJj5FJ7T

@TehCrazyDuck Congrats!!!!

I legitimately don't understand antisemitism, maybe as a person in a religious minority, I always felt more kinship with other religious minorities and my upbringing was framed that way, but what I'm seeing just completely baffles me.

I think expressing sympathy is a lot like making an apology, any or multiple BUT's just negate it.

[Derek Pando @djpando]

Saddened that it's now controversial to express personal sympathy for human suffering. The world is complicated, expressing sympathy for those that are suffering is not.

[Derek Pando @djpando]

Thanks so much for having me @riley_whisler on the Pulling Focus show with @pressrecord. I got to share the inspiration for @beeloo_co , what we've learned from our early adopters and why we are focusing more now on educational content. https://t.co/vjq2cfQ8Hq

Every employee in big tech has a story like this.

[Deedy @deedydas]

I still think about the time at Facebook where an employee popped off because the usual organic bananas weren't available one day...

They were replaced with non-organic bananas (with an apology note).

In the internal group: "Is Facebook really going to treat us like shit now?"
