Lots of VCs kindof sound like this: "Your basketball team doesn't have a moat, any healthy human can throw the ball into the basket thingy. "

People who have not run companies before don't understand how much the team matters more than some imagined structural moat.

Ohhhh you were embarrassed by your lunch as a kid? should we tell everyone? should we write a coming of age novel? should we invite ali wong

Spent multiple hours now evaluating Railway alternatives to move my shit to. Conclusion is that Railway's product is uniquely good and nothing comes close to a drop in replacement 🙃

Minimum cost to replicate my setup today is 3x higher than I am paying them currently

What's lost in this message is that you can't actually rotate your keys because deployments are halted. They are really just asking customers to take their apps offline indefinitely, even if unaffected. Just say that.

This is 🤯 bad. FML I'm pouring myself a vodka.

Good news guys, @railway invoicing service is not affected by the major outage! :)

Thank you!

There is no way on earth Palo Alto networks will protect me from an AGI hacker. I expect the labs to start. to launching cybersecurity products soon. There’s a lot of synergy there because they get to make the threat and the solution at the same time. Everyone will have to pay protection money.

Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own

Every time I visit a college campus, I inevitably meet people convinced that finance contributes nothing to the American economy.

I think it’s actually one of America’s greatest competitive advantages.

This is the screenshot I always show them.

Let me fix that tweet for you:

1. The people rioting in Paris are criminals who are committing crimes.

2. Destroying hard-working people’s businesses is evil and not a valid form of protest.

I have never met a successful person that was a quitter. Successful people never, ever, give up!

You have no choice but to save the United States. There is literally nowhere left to go. This is it. The last bastion. The Alamo. Last stop Saloon. If the US completely falls, it's checkmate Earth. There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, you can't opt out. There is no Shire.

An increasingly large part of the economy is made up of losers doing tiny power games like this at each other all day

It does not appear to inspire workforce participation

Peaceful French teen students visibly upset because school teachers do not have enough paper, pencils, and dry erase boards to teach their classes effectively

[good @thenarrator]

prediction markets are probably going to make a lot of very niche people surprisingly good traders

someone who spends all day following semiconductor supply chains might have a better understanding of certain outcomes than a professional macro trader

same goes for gaming, entertainment, weather, company earnings and a thousand other things

i’d be curious to see what happens when people realize the random subjects they’ve spent years obsessing over can actually be traded

People fail to grasp the implications for the class system when wages go up 3% a year and assets go up 10% a year

[Alex Monahan @AlexMonahaqyrt]

Nothing meaningful is created in 40 hours/week

I'm just being honest

I'm not in the 'work nonstop' camp, but you have to make *real* sacrifices to achieve your dreams and get to the next level. That means hours in.

Everybody "says" they have true ambition, very few mean it...
