[Lex Fridman @lexfridman]

I would love to do a podcast with @KamalaHarris and other leading voices in the Democratic party including:
- @GovTimWalz
- @BarackObama
- @HillaryClinton
- @BernieSanders
- @AOC

I think we can have amazing conversations!

I don't do gotcha-journalism, just a good-faith chat about life, philosophy, and ideas that hopefully helps reveal our common humanity.

It'll be fun, and great for everyone! ❤

DM's are open! 🙏

@ElonMNews A. Please just call it Twitter. It is much more conversational. Plus that’s what everyone still says anyway.

After 3 years people are finally realising - Lewis was never the problem.

Andreas Stella on Max Verstappen’s racing:

“It’s not about racing in a driver’s way. It’s about racing within the regulations.”

@VT_Hokies_34 @GuntherEagleman @MattWallace888 Yeah I don’t know what people thought was happening. But this is exactly it. She’s just telling Trump “he’s asking a question now, focus, we have moved on”. Shes making eye contact with Trump on this clip, not Biden. Trump was on her left and that’s the direction she’s looking.

@amitisinvesting Also, Schwab only offers margin equivalent to 50% of cash and margin able securities in your account. But Robinhood gives margin equal to 100% of your cash and equity. Not to mention RH’s margins rates are nearly half of Schwab’s and right now RH gives the first $2k margin at 0%

[J. Alexander Curtis @_jacurtis]

@amitisinvesting Schwab also still doesn’t offer fractional ETFs yet which makes Dollar Cost Averaging with ETFs not exactly possible. I use both right now. Schwab for long term accounts and Robinhood for active investing. But I do have my current IRA with RH because of the 3% match.

@0xgaut There is a junior engineer that I had to fire a few years ago for poor performance. On LinkedIn he gave himself a full promotion to senior engineer and states accomplishments for projects that are entirely fictional and says he worked there for over a year (it was really ~4 mo.)

[J. Alexander Curtis @_jacurtis]

@therealmissjo Yeah i expected real bombshell stuff. But instead it was incredibly mundane conversations. I don’t see a smoking gun here. Which makes me think they probably are real since someone who was faking it would probably have made it more scandalous.

@ProductHunt exes

As it appears that the passengers of the OceanGate Titan are likely out of oxygen I want to bring up a few important points:

1) Humans are human no matter their wealth. I see a lot of hate towards wealthy people but also a lot less care towards the poor.

2) These people risked their lives for adventure. There is nothing wrong with that. Immigrants risk their lives just to live a normal life, every day yet often are looked down to, however.

3) Every life is as valuable as any other.

4) Hating people because of success is just as bad as hating people because of their lack of success or their differences.

5) Be better

@JasonWilde108 @0xgaut Colored walls to make you “happy”

[Paul Graham @paulg]

@elonmusk Interesting point, but an example might make it clearer. Can you think of a prominent person who's currently wasting his talents in software when he could be working on manufacturing and heavy industries?

[J. Alexander Curtis @_jacurtis]

For those that aren’t watching #TheLastOfUs, you really need to start. This show is improving on the games and giving them justice. But you can enjoy it without any context of the games too.

You don’t see TV like this very often. We don’t even see movies of this caliber.

[J. Alexander Curtis @_jacurtis]

#TheLastOfUs episode 3 was a roller coaster. Horror, Suspense, Humor, Action, Love, Tragedy. I loved the episode. This episode was a complete departure from the games, but it improved everything.

“Keep Tess Safe” really got me…

The window at the end did too.

@dmcgco I know Apple Maps had a bad launch, but it is currently so much better than Google Maps. It focuses on what you need and want and nothing more. Maps are cleaner, directions are cleaner (especially transit), it has Lock screen support, everyone should give it a try.

[J. Alexander Curtis @_jacurtis]

@BrookeSellas Did this plenty of times. I know friends and other people around me did. I kind of figured everyone has done it. It doesn’t hurt, your tongue just kind of seizes for a split second. Kind of feels funny. Not painful, just funny feeling. That’s how you test the battery
