“One [excuse] seemed to come straight from the mouth of a naughty schoolboy: "I wasn't the only one"...It's true. Other politicians did attend the cricket. But none of them is responsible for a sector which has already seen more than 500 people die.” @anneconnollyabc

Have seen a few people re-posting this (apt) excellence.

Finally. But how do entrepreneurs feel about this? We're curious

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The conviction of Elizabeth Holmes signals "the end of an era," David Streitfeld writes. "In Silicon Valley, where the line between talk and achievement is often vague, there is finally a limit to faking it."

@JmarrMarr That's not right. Paper hard copies are valid. I'm so sorry for your Aunt. That was ageist behaviour from the hairdresser.

“Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts,” as Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman once said.

We often see this in different forms. Foil tops that are hard to open. Bottles with tamper-proof seals. 'Peel here' labels that defy even the deft among us.

@FairDinkumOK @Peter_Fox59 Pretty sure that's what happens in Qld already. Dedicated hospitals for managing CoVID patients.

The procurement process is a key point of weakness in @ausgov's development & use of emerging tech, & human rights need to be better considered in this process, according to @esantow https://t.co/7Eik3DVHEU @AusHumanRights @AusGovFinance @DTA @OfficeforAI

Hmmmm sounds like an opportunity for older entrepreneurs...

[Matt Bennett @MattBennettTC]

I’m a strong believer that some of the best software in the coming years is…

- going to be built by industry insiders
- w/ limited technical backgrounds
- but who know enough to scope an MVP & iterate to a prod/mkt fit

[Ryan Hoover @rrhoover]

Successful startups often appear like they have everything figured out but inside it's a complete mess.

This isn’t a justification for mismanagement or chaos, but it’s useful for teams to acknowledge that building something new is hard and messy.
