What's happening in Pakistan today is very sad and can happen in India next year. As climate change worsens, south Asia will be hard hit and we must be there for each other - across borders. I'll be donating $1000 to Pakistani flood relief orgs 1/n

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Saddened to see the devastation caused by the floods in Pakistan. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims, the injured and all those affected by this natural calamity and hope for an early restoration of normalcy.

Can't wait for ten years from now when we all have race warred to our heart's content and we can get back to focusing on what matters: getting people to click on ads.

Socializing at SF parties is so easy, you just yell "Alex!" and some guy turns around and you pretend like you know him from a NodeJS meetup.

The people I envy most are loud, unashamed about their wants, rejoice when they receive rewards and are comfortable with not having.

I'm quiet about my wants, even with myself, don't celebrate victory, and become despondent when I don't get my unstated wishes fulfilled.

Do you ever feel guilty for containing multitudes like you're making everyone's life harder because you have so many disparate needs and opinions?

Forget trying to live on Mars...70% of the planet we live on is inaccessible to us. Water is the real enemy.
Which billionaire will suggest an Atlantropa-size ambitious plan for geo-engineering. Create a new continent in the Pacific. Reduce sea level by like 20m, reclaiming land

I learned not to brag (at Stanford). One of the core values I learned (at Stanford) and internalized was egalitarianism (especially among Stanford graduates). I want to create a flat hierarchy in my startup I'm creating with 5 of my closest Stanford CS friends.

You haven't "run a business" until someone owes you $100k+ that they'll never pay you. Yes, I ran a business this year.

Send me your burned out, entrepreneurial engineers, yearning to work only part time as long as they enjoy it :)

I'm kinda proud of it so I'm putting it out there

Tried something bold today and shared a lot with my family. Let them into my life in a way I hadn't before...my struggles with depression and happiness generally. It went way better than I could have hoped.

Increasingly enamored of Heidegger's view of personal transformation as introduced to me by @nosilverv, that to view yourself as something "to be fixed" leads to an inherently broken "fixing" since the tool that you use to fix is also "broken". Correction comes through action!

Listen, you don't have to be embarrassed, we've all thought about leaving it all behind and becoming product managers at some point.

Trust me, they're not happier.
