Tech Congress is looking for its next fellows. What an incredible opportunity. I can't speak highly enough of this organization. Consider applying by 8.22! https://t.co/5hvTSh6or5

@BadassDoGooder @MollyCain Put plainly, it would be silly to say that anyone doesn't know what they are talking about if they don't use the term "deal flow". I'd expect Molly to know what she's talking about because of her history in & around the space.

@maggiepint I use a carbon steel pan for eggs. Highly recommend. Builds up a patina similar to cast iron but not as delicate in terms of care.

@lleung I nominate the producers/writers/etc. from the Narcos series to make this into show... 2-3 seasons worth of material, lots of characters.

@annaecook With no disability myself, I often benefit when in "hindered" environments. When reading a screen in bright sun, proper contrast sure helps. When viewing a page while on iffy internet connections, a page that is at least mostly usable without all images and css is nice.

@mbostock This is super cool! As an FDIC data nerd, some other context to potentially overlay are industry stats like total deposits (across all banks), number of FDIC-insured banks, and the Deposit Insurance Fund balance.

@Alexand31420948 @mbostock FDIC's list is for banks with normal deposit accounts (checking, savings, etc), but not brokerage houses or other insurance or financial firms.

@pahlkadot Trello for this and some other things (can't say I am great at always doing it)... cross-platform, flexible in terms of adding comments / attachments, ability to email-to-board, etc.

@tm4smallbiz I just had to check, and yeah, they still have the cool retro UI going on. About 6 years ago, we had built a prototype of a new TM search UI and demoed it to some of the USPTO IT folks... but it seems to be the same old thing still.

@venikunche I know I've had years to get used to this kind of thing on the internet, but... people really spend their energy coming up with garbage comments like this?

Sorry that you (or anyone) have to put up with that kind of thing.

@steveruizok Rx drugs have “off label use”.

@heycaseywattsup I'm aware of EXIF data. I think that's a subset (but an important one) of image formats.
