My daughter tried the first prototype of Super Teacher when she was 5. Now she's 7, and the app is available on the App Store. https://t.co/r00qC7A45g They grow up so fast! ❤️😭

@DynamicWebPaige @FieldsMedalSymp @UCLA @Stanford @EPFL_en Random anecdote: a PM at Google once introduced himself to a large audience noting "one interesting thing about me is that I have a Fields medal". After a long pause: "My grandfather won the Fields medal 60 years ago. I *have* the Fields Medal. I didn't win it." Got a good laugh.

@tomloveless99 (And then I would proceed to give them bell-to-bell systematic direct instruction every single day anyway, by the way. But I figured the more motivated they were to really try at their homework, and really study for tests, the better they would do. I think it was appreciated.)

@tomloveless99 When I was a teacher I told my students that the "get" in "get an education" was not meant to be "get" as in "receive", it was meant to be "get" as in "go get it". They needed to to their part to get everything they could.

@jshaw_02 @BaseballQuotes1 Definitely triple and e6, but the third baseman didn't help when he apparently Canseco'd the ball into the stands?

@RonConway You taught me the phrase "I only count victories" when I tried to thank you for something that hadn't worked out. I still use that phrase, and that mentality, today. This the ultimate fight where all that matters is victory. You got this. 💪 Wishing you the best.

@Itsjoeco @nikitabier That's a great joke from The Office, but Katz's is actually the best pastrami sandwich in NYC even though tourists have long discovered it. They haven't lost a beat despite the tourists, and still make the gold standard pastrami sandwich.

Curious if anybody else has had @Citibank send a check from their account to the wrong person with Bill Pay on autopay. This would make a great class action lawsuit if so.

[Tim Novikoff @TimNovikoff]

So far in DMs @Citibank seems to want to head to a lawsuit over this. It will not end will for Citibank given the facts. Here is what I wrote to them:

I've been a customer for over 30 years, not complained about a single thing once. But when Citibank sends my money to a stranger, I expect it to rectify the situation on its own.

@Citibank My rent is on autopay. One month you randomly sent it to the wrong person and address, a clear error. Landlord never received it, receiver deposited it. You have a pic of the check! You do not need a notorized affadavit for this! Reimburse me now! @NewYorkStateAG

[Tim Novikoff @TimNovikoff]

This is 100% Citibank's fault and if I have to jump through hoops to get it back, the hoop will be filing a lawsuit against Citibank. Return my money immediately without asking for further paperwork. Citibank is 100% at fault and has 100% of all the records.

[Tim Novikoff @TimNovikoff]

@Mattveligdan @Citibank @NewYorkStateAG They've reached out privately. I will update on the outcome. Crazy that they just send my money to a stranger, they have the full records of this, and then ask my to jump through hoops to get it back.

@NewYorkStateAG Remember Warren Buffet's 2 rules of banking:
Rule 1: don't lose the money
Rule 2: don't forget the first rule

[Tim Novikoff @TimNovikoff]

I've been a customer for 30 years, but I will close my account over this. You cannot mail strangers thousands of dollars from my account and then require me to jump through hoops to fix it! I'm sure @NewYorkStateAG would agree.

[Tim Novikoff @TimNovikoff]

@BaseballQuotes1 They totally had him at 3rd base with a perfectly executed wheel play, just a bad throw by the third baseman. That play will be haunting the third baseman's dreams for years.

@pandemona What's so hard to understand? From the people who brought you Nest, Nest Cam, Nest Home Max, Nest Essential, Nest Premium Wifi Pro, Google Home/Premium and Nest Aware Plus...it's Google AI with Flow, Whisk, Mariner, Gemini, NotebookLM and AI in Google Workspace AI. Simple! ✨

@zachweinberg What is fundamentally limiting growth in the supply of new doctors in the US to meet the demand? Is it the AMA acting as a guild? Is it the cap on federal funding for residencies? Both? Other things? I know nothing about this stuff. You must know the core reason(s).
