@SouthwestAir your new flight credit rules are absolute garbage. I can’t use my credits because I am not traveling before a certain date. That is BS. You should be allowed to book before they expire regardless of when someone travels #sousthwestfail#airtravel#flying#faa
Jensen Huang: "People with really high expectations have very low resilience."
"I think one of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations. And I mean that.
Most of the Stanford graduates have very high expectations. And you deserve to have high expectations because you came from a great school.
You were very successful. You're top of your class.
Obviously, you were able to pay for tuition. And then you're graduating from one of the finest institutions on the planet.
You're surrounded by other kids that are just incredible. You naturally have very high expectations.
People with very high expectations have very low resilience. And unfortunately, resilience matters in success.
I don't know how to teach it to you except for I hope suffering happens to you. And I was fortunate that I grew up with my parents providing a condition for us to be successful on the one hand, but there were plenty of opportunities for setbacks and suffering.
And to this day, I use the phrase pain and suffering inside our company with great glee. And I mean that. Boy, this is going to cause a lot of pain and suffering.
And I mean that in a happy way, because you want to train, you want to refine the character of your company.
You want greatness out of them. And greatness is not intelligence.
Greatness comes from character, and character isn't formed out of smart people.
It's formed out of people who suffered.
And so if I could wish upon you, I don't know how to do it. For all of you Stanford students, I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering."
Never make important decisions when you’re tired, emotional, distracted, or in a rush.
If you ignore this rule, you increase the chances you'll make a poor decision, and one of the easiest ways to be successful is to avoid poor decisions.
One of my favorite quotes is the one from Marcus Aurelius: ‘The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.’
I think it’s always good to remember it.
This bodes ill. Readers used to outnumber non-readers 2 to 1. Now non-readers outnumber readers 3 to 1.
It's hard to imagine a change of that magnitude not having significant effects.
@Waymo fix your damn product! Why would you allow a car to drive off with luggage in the trunk? And then you can’t even send the car back to the drop off location?! I spent 1.5 hours tracking down my bags after the car left with them! #productfail#bugnotfeature
This is what authoritarianism is about: government silencing dissenting voices.
Colbert. Kimmel. $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times.
Too many people have fought and died to defend freedom. We won’t let Trump take it away.
You just need to take a good look at all the older people who didn't get to live the life they wanted, and it will become obvious that the causes are always the same, generation after generation:
One does not know the feeling of defeat until they are running late and try to get their toddler to sit in their car seat. Inevitably, your toddler will insist on entering the car and climbing into the seat on their own sweet time. #dadlife#dad
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. Fall in love with some activity and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about and it doesn't matter.

This is what oligarchy looks like.
Since the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision, spending by billionaires in elections has grown more than 16,000%.
End billionaire control of our democracy. Overturn Citizens United.
Hey! @elonmusk your doge minions just fired me and my colleagues at CMMI. We were working on improving maternal health outcomes AT LOWER COSTS so that less pregnant women would die in this county. I thought that would fit nicely into your agenda?
