Verizon Wireless: our hours start at 8am ET
(it's 9am ET)
Phone Support: It is outside of our business hours but our AI can help you
AI: I don't understand. One more time?

This is one of the worst customer support experiences I've had in a long time.

@manfrin the answer is 55

@JustinRYoung Given the alleged amount of lobbying by Meta to get the law passed in the first place who the #%$& knows. That said I would think that starting the term fighting with the president would be too much of a deterrent.

[Greg Jizmagian @GregSJ]

@JustinRYoung The president can only enact the 1 time 90 day extension if they certify to congress there is a deal in the works and the deal has legally binding documents that the deal will close within the 90 days.
Never know what Trump is going to do but this seems like a high hurdle

My understanding of the TikTok ban is that Apple, Google, and most importantly Oracle (who hosts the application and the data) face potential future penalties if they do not shut down TikTok January 19th unless a deal is already in place to sell TikTok.

[Greg Jizmagian @GregSJ]

If the administration is telling Oracle they won't enforce the law than the potential penalties seem very unlikely BUT the risk extends beyond the admin's time of control.

If I were @larryellison I wouldn't risk $850 billion but who knows how strong the political pressure is.

Simple, smart, and keep showing up. Everybody wants there to be a magic solution but reality is the only magic is long term consistency

What's the best way to exercise?

For performance, that's a complicated answer.

For health & longevity, it's actually simple.

You don't need all the complicated junk you see online. You just need to do three things: https://t.co/eRdwotb2Zt

If you aren't willing to test your ideas and be open to them being wrong, your progress will be limited.

Progress in science comes when experiments contradict theory.

Bay Area friends: stay away from the water at noon. There is a Tsunami warning after an earthquake 45 miles southwest of Eureka in the Pacific Ocean. #Tsunami #Earthquake

This is my philosophy on building startup engineering teams. Hire a very small team but of top people only.

It’s better to get a 10x employee at 2x the price than 1x employee at a half the price.

Feeling this quote this week: "I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you"

[Greg Jizmagian @GregSJ]

@JustinBlinson @JustinRYoung is this accurate? Seems like a potentially interesting episode for you

[Greg Jizmagian @GregSJ]

@politicalmath For the record there are more than 2 parties and with more votes they can get more ballot access and more election funding.
