EXCLUSIVE: Geoffrey Hinton, the Toronto computer scientist often called the "godfather of AI," offers $1-million to fix the Ontario Science Centre's roof -- but only if the province agrees not to move it to Ontario Place #ONpoli https://t.co/0ENoad7Ddy

Every time I see beer in a corner store I'll think of what it cost us to have it *14 months early*, and what we could have spent that billion dollars on instead.

- nurses
- teachers, EAs
- autism program
- care for seniors
- Science Centre
- public infrastructure

The Science Center shut down seems like it’s the LEAST polarizing issue this city has seen in a decade

People love it, and no one wants it to move. That viewpoint seems to cross cultures and socioeconomic classes.

The ppl aren’t dumb- everyone knows something sketchy is up.

[Brandon Chu @BrandonMChu]

If the public raises $6M, can we keep the science center open? @oliviachow @fordnation

I’ll personally commit $10k if you commit on your side and we raise enough.

The best way to learn influence is to study people who are great at it. IMHO, one of the greatest influencers of all time is Frodo Baggins.

Building software is the easy part. The hard part is making money from it.

Coding is fun. Finding customers less so. But without them, you have a hobby project.

"The 4th of July parade shooting in Highland Park, Illinois marks at least the 308th mass shooting in the US this year, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit tracking such incidents.". 308th and it's only July - my heart hurts.
