I can't explain the frustration or better yet the embarrassment I feel after becoming so scared and anxious just because a cop car pulls up behind me or beside me. I'm doing absolutely nothing wrong but that fear hits like a ton of bricks every time

@vanschneider @eriktorenberg Or maybe it doesnt really exist because nobody really knows how the world works.

@drgurner The problem resides in defining “a bit better”..

@seanrose I wish it was true!

@shl @srinathariharan @joegesualdo @daytonmills And it was only for American based hosts....

[Thomas Taieb @Enooooooormous]

@gdcaplan Would like to try!

[Thomas Taieb @Enooooooormous]

@seanrose To be fair, Netflix (and HBO, and others) also does that with some shows (Snowpiercer i.e.).
I just hate that model...

THREAD: It is with sadness that I tell you about Preston Chaney, who died in the Houston jail of COVID. He was trapped there for 3.5 months because he couldn't pay $100 after being accused of stealing lawn equipment and frozen meat. His story is important. (1)

@paulbohm I wanted to build a very similar type of app. Do you want to collaborate?

@davidcolbyatx @brettberson Without talking about the cost to the candidates: do X “job simulations” (interviewing with more than one company) that will take hours of work to get a simple: “sorry we’re going with someone else, bye”, usually one or two weeks after...

@mattyglesias Is it weighted by the number of consumers?

@truth_h3rtz @LillyYaGirl @shaunking Cf problems of biases in algorithms, in part because they rely on historical data to be trained.

[Thomas Taieb @Enooooooormous]

@truth_h3rtz @LillyYaGirl @shaunking No. It’s been shown over and over again that for the same level of wealth they get denied more often and get much higher interests rates. That’s among other things (profiling, refusal of services, higher suspicions etc).
Ideas are basically worth nothing. Execution is everything.

[Thomas Taieb @Enooooooormous]

@truth_h3rtz @LillyYaGirl @shaunking On that one, I tend to agree (that minorities have a much harder time raising money).
Not a lot of data on that, but extensive research already proved the gap in terms of access to banking (personal & business loans i.e.), which is a very good proxy.

[Thomas Taieb @Enooooooormous]

@LillyYaGirl @shaunking The way I understand it is that only white founders would be able to raise billions ($1.75 B) for a company that didnt have any product or traction.
A good point.
