@MilesPerHoward I felt something in Belmont

@kprather88 @1goodtern This Old House just had an episode where off the top they said C0vid is airborne plus they show how to build a Corsi-Rosenthol box. Just wanted to share a glimmer of hope

Applied Cryptography has one of the greatest book introductions of all time.

[J.J. Rohrer @jjrohrer]

@cirving @saraledterman @cirving Not so much

[J.J. Rohrer @jjrohrer]

@cirving @sweatystartup 500K would be a bargain. The new owner would practically print money.

[J.J. Rohrer @jjrohrer]

@cirving @sweatystartup For @sweatystartup. I've been holding https://t.co/1OMDy4Potn since shortly after https://t.co/kpeG7OCPms came out. It's easy to trademark.
I've been developing a niche app for the domain, but it isn't live yet.
Thanks @cirving .

I like this concept: "Tyranny of the Marginal User".

Very useful vocabulary, and the antipathy of Minimal Lovable Product. There should be a Maximum Lovable Product and an acknowledgement that businesses/products loose their soul after that point.

I love this. The best age to start your company is today-years-old.

[staticmaker @staticmaker1]

the best time to build your business is now - neither in your youth nor when you're older.

Historic day in electoral reform as the Oregon legislature just agreed to put ranked choice voting to voters in 2024 in a strongly bipartisan manner. If approved, Oregon will join Maine, Alaska, and (soon) Nevada as well as a number of cities including NYC. Huge momentum.

This is a fascinating rabbit hole. I feel like I'm looking at the future public health management.
my initial U.S. scan reveals:
* #Covid lingers
* #monkeypox is gone(?)
* Wild swings between adjacent communities

I am watching this and it is reminding me of a friend, Brandon Wirtz, who died a few years back tragically of colon cancer at age 40.

He built his own AI and trained it to find anomalies in Craig’s List.

The first one it spit out, he told me, was a 1979 Toyota Prius being sold.

It was a child being sold.

His AI caught 3,000 more people before he died.

Like the character in the movie he had trouble getting the FBI to listen.

I think about him every day.

His mission was to use technology to help people, especially the defenseless.

The technology discussion in the movie is right on. So are the issues.

Me: I'm learning French! Feeling like I just got the school's Perfect Attendance award.

My french speaking family: Feeling like the kids that know I'm earning a C average, at best, despite showing up every day.

Prompt Engineer might not be a real job title, but it is a real short-course that I'm taking.

Watching pitch to The AO Planner at #Prepare4VC. The presenter totally knows the problem space. https://t.co/5RfYeqiwU0
Super sharp and inspiring.
Their ask: connections within stationary industry (and money).

[J.J. Rohrer @jjrohrer]

Ransom people kept petting the robot. Cuddly!

[J.J. Rohrer @jjrohrer]

I like your dog. And another reason I like Boston, cuz sometimes you see stuff like spot in the semi-wild.
#venturecafe, #prepare4vc

[J.J. Rohrer @jjrohrer]

Ok - I’d invest. You can, too.

[J.J. Rohrer @jjrohrer]

Watching pitch from from Coils to Locs at #Prepare4VC (https://t.co/83SYQbIowV). Think not-straight hair wigs, primarily for cancer hair loss. Decent TAM and hella impactful business. OMG impressive founders with a knack for earned-media.

[J.J. Rohrer @jjrohrer]

@cirving This is my formal complaint that your post bothers me because it is provable untrue.

I feel better getting that off my chest.
