Well, well, well...

Why does LinkedIn not have a 🔔 follower notification feature? The product focus seems to be uncomfortably high on revenue and unexpectedly low on engagement.

☕️ Fact: Light roasted coffee has more caffeine than dark roasted.

@kimchy Appreciate the follow up. I can’t imagine I’m the first to point this out. If new user churn is an issue for Elastic, I’d be curious to see how that changes if you lower your default config from ~$400/mo tier to ~$80/mo tier. Monthly usage + rebalance suggestions might also help.

We recently welcomed "Charleigh Mae" to our family, and she's already assembling quite the bag o' tricks! Our secret has been a continuous supply of hand-fed kibble when she's doing the right thing, and nothing when she isn't. Def recommend ditching the food bowl for training!

Stoked to see Maryland on this list!

“Maryland is proud to be a leader once again in safe innovation with the implementation of mobile driver’s licenses,” said Maryland Governor Larry Hogan.

"once again" is the classic tagline of political PR. 😏

@smarty @Zoom I like it. A “Guest pass” feature.

Imagine sitting in a cell for years, decades, or even for life, convicted of an activity that is no longer a crime, while other people build intergenerational wealth doing exactly the same thing.

This is the sad reality for our nation’s cannabis prisoners.

We need change.

[Mike Brenner @MikeMakes]

Sadly, this moment is more likely to motivate that change than the 40,000+ souls that are locked up in our prisons for non-violent, cannabis-related offenses.

[Mike Brenner @MikeMakes]

Our society has evolved but our laws have lagged. I hope the discomfort we all feel, both as allies and fans, motivates us to push for change. #LetHerRun

I do believe it is a performance enhancing substance, but so is sugar, water and caffeine. It’s a silly rule and it needs to be changed. #asap

The cannabis stigma on LinkedIn is real. So many people I know cannot Like or Share cannabis news simply because they are fearful of upper management seeing their activity. Yet, alcohol-abuse within the workplace is completely unnoticed/unrecognized.

Weird times we live in.

This idea is a riff on what Outer is doing. https://t.co/ffIWIMbvlz

[Idea] Two-sided marketplace for “live” product reviews for products > ~$500. One side is current customers willing to share feedback, show details through video and visits. Other side is prospective buyers.

[Mike Brenner @MikeMakes]

Be interesting to experiment with this for cars, furniture, devices.

Of all the Fireside Chats that I’ve attended, none have been beside a fire.
