@johnarnold I clicked on this thinking it was a juicy story - then I realized “Oh its that Dialog? I went to that conference in 2008.” Talked largely about business, policy and tech issues. Missed sex or cult day I guess. Didn’t go back because they raised the price for over 40 year olds.

@markpinc At first I thought this might be a highly immersive version of Cafe World. Now I am just hungry.

@gauravkapadia Congrats Gaurav! This is awesome.

@lessin Now that few people in Silicon Valley drink this suggests that the ability to ship user-friendly products will decline. Then a lack of success will lead to drinking and the balance will be restored.

[Dave Wehner @dwehner]

@lessin Yes, I think this gets at valuations vs. economic activity, the latter of which is taxed. The Buffet Indicator (Market Cap / GDP) is at something like 200% vs. more like 50% in 1990. There is still a big debt/GDP problem.

@aleximm And no mention of the ice cream scene?

@JTLonsdale @8vc This is compelling. There is lots of excitement about AI and drug discovery, but clinical trials are the rate limiting step of getting the benefits.

@nfergus @WSJ Great article!

[Dave Wehner @dwehner]

@JTLonsdale @8vc This is awesome. Great work by all.

@CliffordAsness Unfortunately we already do this with the US International Development Finance Corp. what could go wrong with a late stage private equity fund started in 2019? I’m sure the returns to taxpayers are stunning.

@terryangelos @elonmusk @USTreasury @jevgenijs $5T is the number a few sources have reported.

3/ After removing and gently placing a single brownie on my desk, he walked out of my room carrying the tray full of the remaining brownies. "Thank you," he said. A moment later he returned to the room with a huge smile on his face, grabbed his one brownie and left me the tray.

1/ It's very sad to learn of Dikembe's passing. I had the pleasure of living next door to him my sophomore year at Georgetown. He was a friendly, larger-than-life personality. Once for my birthday my mom had sent me a pan of brownies. #DikembeMutombo

2 / I was sitting at my desk and saw Dikembe walk by and asked him if he wanted one. He said "yes," ducked into my room and proceeded to carefully slice the brownies.
