Life is like a swimming competition, you panic, you might even drown but if you stay afloat long enough you might make it to the end and even win the whole thing - No one knows

@nivi We have been feeding AI knowledge since its inception, it amazes us with extrapolation of it. Now, how does it make its own knowledge? Will its leading us to the unknown be its mission accomplished? But will there always be the unknown beyond that?

Over 70% of GenZ employees say they would take a pay cut to work for a company whose values align with their own. What does that mean for employers. Read more here: https://t.co/My2EnEi4x7

A very undesirable quality in the Startup World. My thoughts: Being technical is not all that it's hyped up to be now, being more prone to action is a much more desirable trait.

[Dave Poku @davepoku]

Been observing the YC cofounder platform and all I see is bunch of profiles with "I'm technical, ready in 3 months". What I also see is "I'm not technical, already working on a startup."
What used to be a desirable quality, that is being technical, is leading to inaction

This why the people decide who has #power. The People or the politicians. The onus is on you. #vote

I just got my W2: Total comp was $640k. $300k was stock. Some non trivial amount was a bonus (25%?)

I worked at Meta for 5 years, and in 2022 I got the highest performance rating available. (Redefines expectations). I joined via acquisition, but I was only an E5.

This is Scotland not Navarongo, Ghana. Don't give up on your country because you have some bad patches. Not everything is appealing to the eyes.

Thought just dawned on me: Is there a corelation between player success and the origins of umpires in the sport of tennis? #tennis #officiating #bias

If you're a high potential athlete and you don't do your best to maximize your potential, you will fall back into the "corporate dungeon" you have been trying to escape your entire career, that is if you're even lucky to become a media presenter/contributor in some capacity.🤯

Completely appalled by the convoluted route that USPS takes you through to change your address and the identity verification process. #USPS you don’t need myMove and I don’t need myMove. Where is your focus? 🛑 it please…no value add for me. Referral business is so 2000 & late

@ronawang @BillAckman @MIT 😂😂😅...liars and perpetuators of falsehood. Whether it was today or Wednesday or any other day...how does this help anyone? Math lecture? how many people are math majors or study math and have a high political clout?

Whatever you do in this life counts and your afterlife may even count more, so live as if you’re in a continuum. Never losing your zeal and zest, for no one knows when! #life #legacy #Wisdom

More than 40 years after Bob Marley’s death, his music is still in high demand. In fact, he's among the highest-paid dead celebrities for 2023: https://t.co/WVn1Nl7rjo

@PitchBook @checkwarner @adaventures This goes for people of colors and minorities too. A conscious, focused and determined effort should be made to get minorities and previously sidelined groups to run funds and target their own kind since nothing is changing with the status quo.

@michelleefang @michelleefang It seems your SF IRL postings are outdated by a week of late and it is done weekly so they are becoming irrelevant, will you agree?

"Dinner at Sushi Mitsuki, a new restaurant in a neighborhood with a rising skyline in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, starts at $200 per person" - Quoted from NY times article : "How the youth boom in Africa will change the World"
Checked out the restaurant's spread?
But WHY?
