@united, your baggage team dropped all of my snowboard gear and snowboard off of their truck and literally RAN OVER MY BAG. I've filed three separate reports now and was denied any compensation. This is really not cool.
Today, @vapi_ai is announcing a $50M Series B, led by @peakxvpartners. $72M total raised.
This funding round is a reality because of the engineering behind it: predictable latency, hard guardrails, observability at the call level, and clean escalation to humans.
@beffjezos We pay taxes over our lifetime. A healthier work force will end up paying more taxes. Aren't you just describing a great universal healthcare system?

@Austen I'm curious why you feel this way. We have terrible wealth inequality. Couldn't a wealth tax be used to help our poorest citizens? Even if it all went to education.
@farbood My friend owns one. He started his pizza restaurant from it. Was very successful so now he rents it out. Also have a friend that just bought one for his meal prep business.
6 years ago today.
My then-girlfriend’s medical school friend (a derm PA) rolled my pants leg up to ‘take a look’ at a mutating freckle I was mildly concerned about.
“Dude, you have cancer.”
We were in the middle of a party full of medical professionals. We were supposed to go snowboarding in 12 hours. Instead, my ex, her friend, my best friend, and I drove to her dermatology clinic in Denver the next morning for a rush excision. The head doctor met us there and approved the procedure.
Christine, the PA, did the excision. My ex (also a PA) did the prep work/helped stitch. My best friend made jokes while they cut a football out of my calf.
The doctor came in a couple times. At one point, she said “has Christine explained to you what the ramifications of this might be?”
I told her that I was starting to get the picture.
I wouldn’t be formally diagnosed until a week later. Stage 3c metastatic melanoma. Another wide excision and a lymph node biopsy confirmed these.
I’m still not entirely sure I understand the ramifications.
It’s been 6 years, with a stage 4 recurrence last year. I’m in remission again, and my prognosis remains good in spite of my diagnosis.
I can type that sentence and feel hope. I can point to my perseverance and optimism in the face of a shitty situation.
I’m also weeping while I’m typing this sentence. I was fine writing the first part. I’ve told this story 1000 times. There are no rules to this game. I’ll never fully understand it.
I don’t have to fully understand things to keep going; life rarely works that way. I thought this would be a fun anecdote to show how it started and I just walked myself down 6 years of “what the fuuuuck?”
But a superfluous, semi-formal anniversary and a long text post aren’t to blame, either. This is what it’s like in my mind all the time. I’m sure I’m not alone in that regard as it relates to my experience with cancer.
I had more points to make before my brain derailed this one. But it’s been a hell of a ride.
I’m hopeful to keep living through memorable times, even if they’re not always amazing.

@nntaleb You can't literally store it, but wouldn't a healthier body at 59 be able to do the proper amount of exercise at 60. And then just working backwards, you can't just start at 80?
@TheWarKitchen Any source on the negative health affects of brown rice, and/or the ingredients you listed? That graphic does not show the amounts of those elements in brown vs white rice.
