@LandseerEnga Why the weird metric? What does $50M annualized profit mean?

@tiny_dancer_26 Well it’s a good thing at least that the commute isn’t crowded. Good social distancing 👍🏻. Just tell her not to touch anything!

@dhh @darvishzadeh What a joke! I really hope this is some kind of hipster blatant typo thing but something tells me it’s not 🤦‍♂️

@davidcummings There was an abundance of SaaS companies formed from 2012-2014. This vintage is now maturing. It's a great time to be an investor! Agree with answer (sometimes longer)

This is crazy. Robert Smith’s generosity is purely epic. What a leader!

[Paul Judge @pauljudge]

Robert Smith just paid off the student debt of the entire graduating class of Morehouse College! Announced during his commencement address. Legendary. Well done sir! Very inspiring

Cool time-lapse video on the most valuable companies in the world from 1997 - 2019. The speed at which tech storms in is incredible to watch.

Well said @ashleyzmiller This applies to all types, from heavily-funded to bootstrapped #startups

[Ashley Gautreaux @ashleygotro]

I've seen #startups blow major cash when they are in Seed or MVP stage by hiring a team who in the end produces little to no results.

Reasons can be..
1. hiring too early
2. paying too high of salaries
3. hiring specialists and not generalists

@SievertMike There’s always a catch. Like 4% APY on UP TO $3,000 balance, then it’s 1%. That doesn’t really move the needle as much as they make it seem.

Interesting read on the privatization of all aspects of the public prison system and private equity’s role https://t.co/VzmB9HZjzx

Must admit, I was a bit skeptical at first. Only took me a month to hop on the band wagon. Unfortunately, today, I feel #prime doesn’t necessarily mean 2 day shipping :( #amazon #qualitycontrol

[Recode @Recode]

When Prime launched in 2005, Amazon raised the bar for convenience in online shopping.

This is the story of how a frankly bland idea — fast shipping — was powerful enough to alter consumer psychology forever. From @DelRey:

@sama Great bit. The right team will improve the weak areas. Know what you’re good at and know what you’re not good at.

[Sam Altman @sama]

Generally the highest ROI comes from getting even better in areas where you're already strong, not improving in areas where you're weak.

There are important exceptions, but most people focus on their weaknesses too much.
