There are common sense things we can do about gun violence that many/most Americans agree on: background checks, licensing/training, minimum age, red flag laws (w/ a central database), insurance, and smart triggers. No single one of these would have necessarily prevented... 🧵

@ProductFont I’m feeling rant-y about project and internal knowledge graph processes. Also feeling rant-y about ML and product. I’d be happy to join!

[Franklin Horn @WFHorn]

@hingeloss Oh interesting! Yes, clearly it’s both poorly advertised and there’s no way anywhere in the system to build some collaborative filtering with my friends, family, and fellow anti spam detection colleagues.

When will Apple roll out a spam button in iMessage for me to start marking all the bs texts I receive now?

@ryanjgallag Fellow Carolina alum here. Come join us @skillshare. We’re looking for a data scientist and a director of ML to help us take our class recommendations and personalized experiences to the next level! Plenty of ML, NLP, and algorithm work on the horizon. Send me a dm

@ForwardCarolina Is there another incentive structure? Genuinely would love to know.

[Franklin Horn @WFHorn]

@ForwardCarolina A homeowner wants their home value to go up. Artificially constricting supply is an easy way to force prices to go up. So there are no individual incentives for either liberal or conservative homeowners to alter their framework.

I've seen this now like three times in the past week. Please folks -- don't gaslight or use bad faith practices to get your way into an interaction.

New cold recruiter outreach tactic:

Recruiter: Thanks for your interest in {{Company}}! We'd love to have you speak with our head of product. Here's a calendly link to ....

Me: There must be some mistake. I'm happy at @skillshare and I never indicated that I wanted to chat.

[Franklin Horn @WFHorn]

Recruiter: Well there are three reasons to consider {{Company}} please talk to us!

Me: Good luck! Bye!

@gabrielvaldivia The cynic in me wants to say it was less a user pain point solution and more a way to avoid a glaring negative whitespace at the profile’s header on a desktop.

Sounds like you’re conflating “defining” with “dictating.”

[Giff Constable @giffco]

I admit I find it offensive when people say PMs job is to define the product. No. That's a collaborative process. Designers and engineers are not order takers.

[Franklin Horn @WFHorn]

@robleathern @shreyas “Tantalizing” is exactly the right word for that segment of my list.

[Franklin Horn @WFHorn]

Time to look alive and add PM value around these parts! Thanks for the nod @aakashgupta

@paul_farber @CorcoranGW This looks like a transformative course! Get ready students for a mental model shift.

Rain in LA, but I've got myself some new books, some new machine learning classes, and a hot cup of green tea.
