@jack_presti The thing about Libra that will prevent it from ever being fully trusted is Facebook’s brand issue with data. Cryptos need to be secure and safe if people are going to invest in this new tech. I don’t think it will ever get off the ground. #BCSTT

IBM believes that Google was overstating the value of the specific task their quantum computer solved. While the original figure said it would take classical computers 10,000 days, it may actually only be a few days instead. #BCSTT

IBM is disputing Google's claim it achieved quantum supremacy. https://t.co/i3KEr2rHM6

AI's usefulness is still questionable to some, especially when a lot of time is put into tasks like solving a Rubix's Cube. Some believe that this work is not impressive AI work, but it is a feat that a robotic hand was created to successfully manipulate an object. #BCSTT

Why a robot that can 'solve' Rubik's Cube one-handed has the AI community at war https://t.co/RFqOBBtkl1

In my reflection blog post on TechTrek East, I talk about the value of founders in the companies we visited. I also discussed my favorite visits with founders, including @dens @Foursquare, @mikewystrach @getfreshly, and @SimonBerg @Cerosdotcom. #BCSTT

Over the next 12 months, Facebook is going to be very active in preventing Russian interference. Facebook’s fight against fake Russian accounts will go right up to Election Day. #BCSTT

WeWork is going to continue to push Neumann out if they want to survive going forward. #BCSTT

Three best pieces of advice I got from #BCSTT :
1. Get comfortable being uncomfortable
2. Your time is your most valuable asset
3. Things won't happen for you--be proactive and create your own luck!

Was such a pleasure to meet with Boston College yesterday. The kids had brilliant questions and really kept me on my toes. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and hope to participate again in the future!

[Maggie Yan 🌷 @maggiemyan]

What an eventful 3 days it has been! Thank you to @socureme, @MoneyLion, @PublicHello, @classpass, @Twitter, @Google, @TommyJohn, and @WPP & @GroupMWorldwide for encouraging #BCSTT to take calculated risks and pursue our passions and what we are good at! See you soon NYC🗽

[Colin Crowell @ColinCrowell]

A delight to be with a fine group of @BostonCollege students at TwitterNY. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with you & discussing timely policy issues with implications for innovation and the Internet ecosystem. Enjoy the rest of your visit :) #WeAreBC #BCSTT @BCAlumni

[Harry's @harrys]

@MattAltomareBC Great to have you all!

OH at #BCSTT: “I’m so looking forward to underwear.”

[Matthew Altomare @MattAltomareBC]

What a great visit today at the office of @harrys. Thank you for welcoming us into your office and giving us time to ask you about your business! #BCSTT

[Dennis Crowley 🇺🇸 (mostly on Threads, @dens) @dens]

Just did a Q&A with a great group of students from Boston College Biz School (visiting 10+ NYC tech companies in 2 days). Lots of great Qs, and great swag (👧🏼❄️ will get the notebook and I’ll eat those bitcoins) #BCSTT (ps: and give @mary__holt an A+!)

[Mary Holt @Mary__Holt]

How many people can you fit into a 4 x 4 elevator @Foursquare headquarters? 18! #BCSTT

[Matthew Altomare @MattAltomareBC]

Looks like there’s a major development with sales to the UK for @harrys. It will be interesting to ask about as we visit this week! #BCSTT

[Harry's @harrys]

Hey, UK! 🇬🇧You asked. And asked. And asked some more. Well, we listened. Something’s bubbling up, so stay tuned!

[Jerry Kane @profkane]

#BCSTT is New York bound!

[Matthew Altomare @MattAltomareBC]

As we visit Google this week, their revolutionary new tech will be revealed for the Pixel 4 phone. A short teaser shows the phone using radar technology. It seems that people will be able to control the Pixel 4 without touching the device. #BCSTT

[CNET @CNET]

With Pixel 4, Google's experimental tech bets finally enter the spotlight https://t.co/aYvhMaNzDs
