This painting has no brush strokes — it is made from over 2,000,000 individual dots of colour.

And although it looks like nothing more than a sunny afternoon in Paris, it has a much darker hidden meaning...

Signal’s encryption is irrelevant to the discussion. The real problem with sharing Top Secret data over Signal is not the security of the app, it’s the security of the phone. And mobile phones are not secure against state level threat actors.

This is what I think about many Africans. Many of us are deculturized and proud of it. We pay astronomically to train our kids to become Western pantomimes.

The only way to change this is to reform our education systems and revive our cultural awareness.

It's critical for our future.

@regisbamba Okay fair… J’ai regardé le per capita… Mais a parité égale leur économie est quand même plus petite (même en éliminant les effets de la population). Donc en résumé : plus grande quand on inclut le pouvoir d’achat et plus efficace. Et on a gagné la coupe.

@BWLawal are you at the Pullman? Otherwise send location. I will DM my local number

[Mohamed Diabi @mdiabi]

@BWLawal No respite. No mercy. Akwaba though.

@TheModernKnight The 8% return portfolio is surprisingly hard to get when you invest “only” $2m.

@sulemanali The best founders won't want to raise from you due to signaling risk & unaligned incentives

@TheModernKnight Nice theory but it breaks at Nigeria in blue 😇

@0x @binsnappen Chamonix? Are you in Paris soon?

@asemota I am rewatching it as well! Did you read the book? Your comments are gold.

@JasonNjoku @TheEconomist Competition. In the US the market puts more pressure on the prices. When you are overseas and you think about subscribing you are less price sensitive. https://t.co/3vwV826fRk

A big fan of the linked read. I think good taste wrt quality of work is not subjective so I am the proverbial choir to this argument. Never thought about Art in this way, tend to agree, including some modern art, for instance my children don’t know who Pollock is, reacted to him

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Explained to 10 yo why the possibility of art being good implies there has to be such a thing as good taste (https://t.co/pJbtv3NJfl). He understood immediately. Yet if you x-rayed the minds of adults, you'd find millions of unexamined copies of "Taste is subjective."

I am getting a tattoo of this

[John Collison @collision]

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.
