An organization that is guided by its traditions instead of a vision of the future is at great risk of becoming obsolete in the present.

One of UW's not so secret advantages is @WARF_News's perpetually impactful support of @UWMadison. News on just part of what they do is below...

[WARF (Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation) @WARF_News]

@lexfridman I find your podcasts outstanding—a gift you are making to humanity. Thank you.

[Jon Eckhardt @jon_eckhardt]

I'm late to share that it's great to hear of a recent addition to @TitletownTechGB 's team of leaders who are achieving success in pioneering a novel approach to building great companies.

⁦@usbank⁩ Hey…. What’s up? Can you fix online bill pay?

Opinion: The instinct of a university is to think that protests can be managed by instituting internal reform. It was a fantasy of administrators in '68, and remains a fantasy today. More from Paul Berman, a central organizer at the '68 Columbia protests: https://t.co/wH0X46OMZw

@DanReich I hope your family and the other passengers were all OK.

[Peter G. Klein @petergklein]

Good piece on problems with the ESG literature. Many of the classic studies fail to replicate, use incorrect methods, and seem to have become influential because they reached the "right" conclusions. https://t.co/7acrNahvVm

Don't use @uhaul pods... my daughter moved to a new city using a pod a year ago.... @uhaul won't pickup the pod and keeps charging her... #scam @FTC @DOJCrimDiv

Wishing @elonmusk @Tesla made a model for tall drivers….perhaps a model X @KingJames edition?

[Jon Eckhardt @jon_eckhardt]

A great loss. RIP Bob. I’ve long admired your entrepreneurialism and your products! @BobsRedMill https://t.co/nTMumwNoiG

@paulg Screens on CRT monitors became flat in a last gasp before their demise as the standard.

[Jon Eckhardt @jon_eckhardt]

Interesting development re @cartainc

[Karri Saarinen @karrisaarinen]

This might be the end of @cartainc as the trusted platform for startups.

As a founder it feels kind shitty that Carta, who I trust to manage our cap table, is now doing cold outreach to our angel investors about selling Linear shares to their buyers.

When will the @POTUS demand the release of Americans captured and held by Hamas?

[Jon Eckhardt @jon_eckhardt]

…and I should add, nursing assistants.

[Jon Eckhardt @jon_eckhardt]

Insight. High quality nursing care is under appreciated and crucial to the provision of medical care. The nurses at @UWHealth are outstanding.

[Jordan Ellenberg @JSEllenberg]

And finally, here's a link directly to the Nature paper. I had such fun working on this and I hope people will enjoy reading it! More substantial thread to follow later. https://t.co/NgOUc3pOET

If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside. —Robert Cringely, InfoWorld
