ANDREESSEN: “They couldn’t track the shooters in Austin because they turned off Flock for political reasons.”
ROGAN: “The other problem with this is people are going to think this mass shooting was organized by Flock so they could get reinstated in Austin to bring in the surveillance state. I guarantee people are going to say we’re shills for Flock and are promoting a surveillance state. That’s the problem now that whenever there’s a mass shooting we just assume it’s a false flag. That’s where we’re at as a society.”
. @rahul joins @Jason to explain:
-- How @FlyAerodome deploys safe aerial responses to 911 calls
--- Privacy concerns and abuse potential with police drone usage
----The challenges of fundraising and selling to government as a startup
-----And much more!
This is probably the coolest company I’ve invested that actually impacts quality of life in cities: they literally send a drone to your house when you call 911. Not surprised that @FlyAerodome is selling like crazy, even with the government as the buyer.
“Tiger Woods was filling his mind with words that were intended to make him great.
He wrote some of the messages from self-help cassettes on a sheet of paper that he taped to his bedroom wall:
I believe in me
I will own my own destiny
I smile at obstacles
I am first in my resolve
I fulfill my resolutions powerfully
My strength is great
I stick to it, easily, naturally
My will moves mountains
I focus and give it my all
My decisions are strong
I do it with all my heart
Tiger listened to those tapes so often that he wore them out."
Russell Knox shot 75 yesterday Q-School. His is the sort of career path that I find fascinating, and, frankly, admirable. Let me explain.
The players we focus the most on are the stars. They're the best players because they succeed often (obviously). But they're the minority. For so many players, success is fleeting. Their best golf usually comes in brief windows, and they spend the rest of their career in the shadow of that success.
They know that their best golf is in there somewhere. They know they are capable of winning. They've done it before. But, for myriad reasons, they can't summon that success again.
Knox has played more than 300 PGA TOUR events. He's won twice, and those two wins, including a World Golf Championship, came back in the 2016 season, in the span of 18 starts. He also won the Irish Open in 2018.
Knox is back at Q-School after finishing 144th in the FedExCup this season. Over the past five years, he has just six top-10s and has finished no better than 96th in the FedExCup.
Imagine how frustrating that could be. Your did your best work years ago but just can't replicate it. I don't imagine it's an experience that, say, an accountant or doctor has. Experience alone can guarantee that you were better than you were five years ago.
Golf doesn't allow that. A golfer has to show up, week after week, and year after year, putting in the work with no guarantee of improvement. I find that admirable.
We celebrate the work when it results in victory. The grind, the struggle, often goes unnoticed, though, when it doesn't lead to success. But that's when it is most admirable.
“Today is a tragic day for UNLV. We're all still in shock as we process the unfathomable event. Members of our community lost their lives and others were injured. My heart aches for our UNLV family.” Message from President Keith Whitfield. Read more: https://t.co/bJfcqoJpVk
It's been confirmed that 2 UNLV UPD detectives responded to the scene of today's active shooting within minutes, and immediately engaged the suspect in a shootout, potentially saving the lives of dozens of students and faculty.
Can’t believe what is happening on the @unlv campus right now. Thoughts and prayers to all of the victims and thank you to @LVMPD for the rapid response
