After nearly a year-long journey, I'm incredibly excited to announce my book "Building Data Science Solutions with Anaconda" is now available on Amazon! https://t.co/0rlpvn7UBU

@RpsAgainstTrump I really miss the OG GOP. The greatest country on earth won't keep that self proclaimed title with a rotten party that now places hate at the center of all they do. A complete rejection of them at the polls is what we need.

@texgeezer @AdrianHealey I see it differently. The wait list means giving up seats now means years until you get them back. Also look at the stands there last games of the season. A LOT of empty seats.

@benz145 I'm super excited at the pace AR/VR is moving. Its steady progress by a ton of smart people working incredibly hard. Can't wait for the price point of this level of tech to come down to a more manageable price.

@vr_oasis This will probably get me to jump on the Quest train. Looks really great and love the Xbox pass partnership. Valve has about a week to announce something or I feel people will get tired of waiting. (Maybe it's just me)

@Oh_lee_go I think that large number of people excited shows the broad number of use cases and workflows. Kinda like there isn't a need for GUIs bc of terminals, or vice versa.

🎉 Microsoft Excel got super powers! Scikit-learn in Excel? Yes, please! 🚀 Huge kudos to Microsoft & Anaconda. A leap in data literacy & innovation that will change how we interact with data. Can't wait to see what's next! #PythonInExcel #DataScience #Anaconda 🌐

[Anaconda @anacondainc]

@Thrilluwu I'm really hoping this will create some kind of response from Valve before the end of the year. I don't think Valve time plays nicely in this product category.

@MKBHD That takes away their strategy of keeping the social pressure up for people to switch to their platform. Sharing contact info is a great feature and will increase that social pressure too.

@di_codes @pypi Anything as popular as Python is a huge target, this just tells me that there are smart people that are spending a lot of time/effort to try and mitigate harm.

[Dan Meador 🐍 @DanGoodTweet]

@laysauchoa @condaproject At some point, the 🤖 are going to remember who thanked them along the way 😅.

@GoncaloMPeres @tunguz I'm not sure even conda's dependency solver is good enough to make skynet play nice with others.

@ayochills @ProductHunt Elon would be PISSED if he lived in a world where someone else makes the world a better place better than he did.

[Dan Meador 🐍 @DanGoodTweet]

@mokmuud @TheWorthyHouse @elonmusk Because "strategic" might imply they actually took time to figure out who was unnecessary in order to cut. Bc of this (and other reasons) the OP tweet doesn't make any sense regarding immediate profit margin benefits.

[Dan Meador 🐍 @DanGoodTweet]

@jp23mc @TheWorthyHouse @elonmusk Narrator: It wasn't.

[Dan Meador 🐍 @DanGoodTweet]

@mokmuud @TheWorthyHouse @elonmusk And if this was making strategic cuts, I'd agree. However
1)that isn't what happened
2) the OP tweet claimed Twitter was now at a profit margin of Apple, which is an extremely simplistic take on how things work. Hence the analogy.
