For the last year, we've been working towards launching the Data Liberation Foundation. It's time to open the data economy and make the web into the building blocks of the next web. https://t.co/QR3oJlgEVi We're starting to sign up founding miners now. Join us!

Can't wait for a cryptocurrency with the ethics of Uber, the censorship resistance of Paypal, and the centralization of Visa, all tied together under the proven privacy of Facebook.

@switchyards @Tavani, did you ironically tweet this from the corner irl? :)

It is pretty exhilarating talking to people using @Punchli_st when they get the value within 30 seconds of using it. I'm working on getting that feeling more often.

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not.

The goal of inclusion work is not "More black folk!" Or "More women!" The lack of black folk and women is a symptom of the root cause: opportunity to succeed and thrive is not evenly distributed.

@tavani The most interesting point yesterday was: sales driven companies often sell a vision of the world before they sell the actual product. Product driven (often diy buying) have a way shorter window to convince you of the “better” world, so they need to win with strong product

Every startup is 10% of your career. I would spend the rest of my career on this one. Would you?

@calebjclark I'm asking you ;)

[Blake Byrnes @blakebyrnes]

The world works the way it does. Until it doesn't. The most fun/terrifying part of a startup is seeing that new world when no one else can.

That thing where illumination comes to a really hard problem right during the crescendo of the music you're listening to, and it happens to be classical batman. https://t.co/kEIRgF9bxc

“I know. You’re like what, 33?” Me: “38”. Holy shit. I’m sorry.

Reality is the gravity that keeps trying to bring your startup back to earth.

[Blake Byrnes @blakebyrnes]

@tjmule @tavani I see how this was misinterpreted. I was asking dave if he’d assumed control of Tavani’s twitter.

Sometimes you just can’t not work on something

@davempayne @tavani @gregkawalek Maybe there’s not enough green in brown plants?!?
