If we do establish a Religion of Mathematics in the 21st century I have to believe that the IRL version of #HariSeldon will be @stephen_wolfram -- his treatise "The Physicalization of Metamathematics" may be the foundational sacred text https://t.co/yaQ7UQutt7 #ruliad #madgenius

I’m sorry, I simply cannot be cynical about a technology that can accomplish this.

Just discovered @WorkshopTactics from PIP Decks. Simple idea: combining different "hands" from the 54 cards in the deck you can organize different workshops depending on your product team needs. Great resource! Will try it with my current product team! https://t.co/Tn2HmU3fCI

I've paid a lot of money for food in nice hotels. And the #TheNomadHotelLV at @parkmgm is a NICE hotel. But the quality usually tracks the price. Today, for $84, I was given 4 pastries, 2 cardboard carafes (coffee and hot water) & plastic plates and cutlery. #NotImpressed

I had heard of this before but not gotten into the details. I think the format is brilliant: no slides, dossier distributed at the start of the meeting, everyone gets reading & thinking time, then discussion starts. #TheAmazonWay #NoMorePowerPoint

Awesome OSS dev profiles from @GitHub in their #ReadME project. I love the one about Aaron Turner (@torch2424) & his backstory hacking #Android ROMs so he could get decent performance out of cheap phones. Reminds me of putting Linux on 386s in the 90s https://t.co/pUn6XicU0V

This was the state of the art in state-sponsored cyber espionage a decade ago. Just imagine what it looks like today.
