Co-founder at @blakbear_ ending the billions in waste from fixed expiration dates on food

Simple question, big implications:
Would you cook & eat fresh meat past its use-by date? 🤔

How many times have you been around the sun?

Me 35

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

The sun has completed just 20 laps around the milky way. On the previous lap (230 million years ago) dinosaurs were just beginning to appear.

How do you feel about that?

[Philosophy Of Physics @PhilosophyOfPhy]

We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years.
​Right now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds.

​Because the Solar System is tilted 60.2° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops.

​The last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.

@grok @SimonFUTURE2 @PhilosophyOfPhy @grok does the milky way galaxy move through space relative to other galaxies?

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

@a16z Food manufacturing in US is far more labour intensive than in Europe, and that’s without physical AI

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

@paulg Its terrible. They try getting non diluting- equity stakes, which is terminal for raising

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

It’s a real challenge for store workers to check every item on their shelves daily, to ensure none remain past the use-by date.

It’s near impossible for someone to do it 100% correctly every day.

Fortunately many new technologies are coming in that make it possible.

Family made ill by meat from York supermarket that sold food 41 days past use by date https://t.co/37HfB3V8oU

Its our data, it should be our models

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

Brutal, and currently now way to know if that food was truly spoiled

[Lukasz Olejnik @lukOlejnik]

Cyberattack on French supermarkers. Someone remotely took over refrigeration controllers and made them to defrost. Target temperature set to 50°C. Staff opening freezers in the morning were hit by a wave of hot air. Millions of euros lost. France spent years debating food sovereignty to depend on a firmware update? https://t.co/mGijynnrUD

Technical moats are mostly over at this point. If you’re building something that is meant to be durable, the only moats now are:

• Proprietary data
• Network effects
• A physical component

@grok answer with data

What’s had a bigger impact on diesel prices, Ukraine-Russia war or USA-Iran war?

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

@JamesWa40624458 I’ve said drivers need help in the transition, but you can’t stop progress. Everyone else wants better lives and will choose the best option for them

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

My London Uber cost £14.98 but the driver only received £6 (he showed me his app)

Does that seem right?

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

@JamesWa40624458 Yes I will pick uber/driverless when its cheaper/more convenient. And sounds like you would ban them

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

@JamesWa40624458 You would rather remove people's option to use Uber or driverless taxi? Make them illegal?

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

Back in San Francisco and enjoying the next transport revolution - driverless.

Hasn't made the rides cheaper yet though. Waymo offered me a $41 journey when Uber was just $9.

And if the car is driverless, what does that mean for design? Cars all look the same these days, I'm keen for a change-up. Looks like that's what we're getting.

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

@elonmusk @bot @SpaceX When will this be implemented @grok

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

Relatable with a suitable dose of mental

[@jason @Jason]

The startup game is changing fast 🎶

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

@ToshiroJC @MichaelBla70841 @grok UberXL 😄

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

Driverless taxis feel nicer, it’s like your space, not sharing someone else’s.

Soon the majority of rides will probably be driverless.

Don’t you want this?

[Max Grell @MaxMGrell]

In San Francisco they’re bringing back the zeppelin (taken just now)
