NSF grant applications come with 79 pages of instructions. Grant money gets forked into bureaucratic "management" of the grant. We wonder why American leadership in science and innovation has dwindled...

@eymancreative Yes! And for the next 72 hours, I typically will tell everyone I interact with, "yeah...had to replace the insides of the toilet yesterday," as if I'm bragging I put an addition on my house

I think US college education is nearer to collapsing than it appears.

[Sam Korach @SamKorach]

Been living and dying by this for the last 12 hours. Well done @Trivisonno 👏👏

[Sam Korach @SamKorach]

@nic_detommaso 👋 that would be awesome!

There are now more administrators in US higher ed than teachers. Part of the reason? The impossibly complicated accreditation process.

Wow.

The City of Miami just announced they are going to give a Bitcoin dividend to every citizen that sets up a digital wallet.

“We’re going to be the first city in America to give a bitcoin yield as a dividend directly to its residents." - @FrancisSuarez

This is incredible.

Will there be a tax benefit on the unrealized losses, too? Inquiring minds wish to know

This follows the Tesla CEO's tweets from over the weekend about selling 10% of his stake in the company https://t.co/VJ6MBD3miI

New Stripe Press site: https://t.co/SbLxwqnIl1. Team did an amazing job.

THIS.

Captures most of my feelings about agency in social media - with a lot of social psych history peppered in.

Since you actually have time to read something that matters now that Facebook is down, allow me to suggest a quick little piece on the thinking that got us into the mess in the first place:

Launching sooner solves many problems: it helps you hire, increases your sample size, kickstarts compounding word of mouth, builds momentum, helps discover new use cases, helps you grow.

So, launch!

@kallawavy What's a signal that would happen?

[Sam Korach @SamKorach]

These charts are sooo accurate. I would argue the title "Large Scale Analysis of Multitasking Behavior" could be simplified to "A study in workplace pigeon-brain." But, I'd be grasping.

Great share from @AdamMGrant

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

People multitask in over 30% of virtual meetings.

If you want their undivided attention, move meetings to the afternoon—and keep them small and short.

Our best analytical and creative thinking often happens before lunch (or after dinner). Protect mornings to focus on deep work.

@KKnapp Most of these things actually improve my grind

@kevando_ Oh man, I love this conspiracy. I think when I was young I got so distracted by the huge battle scenes in 2 & 3 that there was no way 1 could be better.

Watching them back, it’s obvious 1 is so much better.

A better title: Large financiers who have made a bet on Carbon prices want mechanisms that reduce their exposure risk, lower the payback period on their assets & increase profitability...

If you were to print the oft-referenced Green New Deal, it would take just 4 pieces of paper. Feature or bug?

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

Three years after its mainstream debut, the Green New Deal has reshaped global climate politics. But its playbook is far less concrete, and its tensions far more unresolved, than supporters have been led to believe, @yayitsrob writes: https://t.co/zvxqd5STyM
