@chaddickerson This interview with Tobi Lutke talks a little bit about meeting bankruptcy and why they did it at Shopify. Essentially, Tobi mentions deleting all meetings as the equivalent of chaos engineering for business systems

Friends, if you're healthy and have an income, please consider donating to organizations doing work on the ground delivering food, oxygen, medicines to covid affected persons in India.

I am listing a few organizations I have donated to in this thread for reference (1/n)

[Vir Das @thevirdas]

Please, if it is available to you, take the vaccine. The best vaccine is an available one. It will (if given time to do its job) keep you out of hospital and recovering soon.

Take the shot, and if you know people who are hesitant, talk to them or beat their ass. But mostly talk.

@birbigs Working It Out was one of my favorite podcasts of the year! As someone who started storytelling earlier this year, it was consistently inspirational listening to how your work comes together over time. In continuing to be grateful as the year ends, thank you! :)

@minheeshock Mythos by Stephen Fry (who also does Harry Potter but I heard the Jim Dale versions which were also excellent)

I'm listening to His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman right now, the voice acting for which is also excellent!

Best explanation of the new strain

[Kavya Sukumar @kavyaSukumar]

@edenthecat Best ELI5 I heard:
The common strain has a standard USB "connector" to human cells. The vaccine works with that. But the new variant uses USB 3. The vaccine is compatible but the virus "transmits" faster. Over time the virus could move to USB-C and vaccine would have to keep up

@backlon @lockheimer Tweet of the day for me. Thanks for making me literally LOL, Dieter!

[Harjas Singh @fruitcartrule]

I want to see time like Nolan does because wtf was even happening! I gave up trying to understand what was going on in the last 40 mins so I could read up on reddit later then try watching the movie again

[Harjas Singh @fruitcartrule]

Just got done watching Tenet. Only took 5.5 hours rewinding twice after every scene and still walking away having understood none of it 🤷‍♂️

[Harjas Singh @fruitcartrule]

Not to say it wasn't fun! But, I want what Nolan is having because that movie is a trip
