Easily the most stressful National Sandwich Day in my lifetime.

Kamala Harris is a supremely talented debater. She communicates clearly and simply, avoids jargon, and speaks directly to the audience.

It's incredibly impressive to deliver a performance like this with the stakes so high.

[Dan Primack @danprimack]

The fly wins the debate.

A story I think about a lot, as relayed to me by a friend: a woman fell in love, dated long distance, and decided to quit her job and pack up her life to move to a new country to be with this man. The day before she was supposed to board the plane, he broke up with her.

My friend and I wrote a book to help kids understand what it means to quarantine called “WHAT’s the THING with QUARANTINE?” 50% of profits go to @WHO. On amazon now: https://t.co/qk4YjBVPJQ

Those without empathy will be defeated by those who have it.

Empathy lets you understand and feel what the adversary feels, and with that knowledge you can outsmart and outmaneuver

The empathy-less can only bluster.

Socially isolate & Test everyone

—Start with the high risk
—Then give them away free
—Then pay folks $10 to take the test (with a gift card to a local merchant )

Economy comes back, we’re golden

@justinkan Get well soon!

[Sahil Lavingia @shl]

Apply for the job.

"But I'm not qualified for it."

Neither is the person who's going to get the job. Apply!

I grew up in India but have spent some time in NYC, LA and SF and I can tell with confidence that startups are hard but NYC is booming and californians problems are just embarrassing

[Job @Jobvo]

Phone calls, unplanned, are not of this time anymore.

I can't remember the last time I answered a phone call that wasn't expected.

I don't even like to call unannounced myself, even if asked. What are the chances they're not busy?

Unplanned phone calls are over.

One obvious thing that people often forget to mention: do business with people you like. It’s great.

[Erik Torenberg @eriktorenberg]

The first fund idea I had was "backing founders for life."

Founders often take a few swings before hitting their home run.

Someone should do this:

Identify founders you want to be in biz w/ for decades & "secure" you're allocation by committing earlier than anyone else would.

Something I didn't realize when I was a kid: most books are bad. I used to think "This author must be an expert on x. After all, he wrote a book on it." That is not how it works at all. Some books are much better than others, and it takes a conscious effort to find them.
