Best way to go from designer to founder is to start paying attention to things outside the pixels.

Learn how the company works, goals, product, sales, marketing, hr & recruiting. Ask questions.

Even if you don’t start a company, that context makes you a better designer.

Blitzscaling is fun until reality hits.

The scooter hype is over, but the real industry is just beginning.

Voi and Lime are proving that with strong ops, micromobility is here to stay.

The Telegraph has got its hands on a copy of the contract that the US tried to make Zelenskyy sign last week. Here are the terms that were proposed. They amounted to US economic colonisation of Ukraine. ⬇️

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies.

It’s quite amazing that everyone is now saying the quiet part out loud.

The distortions when you have insider information are extreme and Congress should not be allowed to insider trade. They should live by the same rules as the voting public.

For example, prior to October 2000, the general public could effectively insider trade if they knew someone with inside information. Then the USG implemented Reg FD that said companies cannot share information with only a few - they must fairly and broadly disclose information to everyone. This principle still doesn’t apply to Congress.

What was the impact of Reg FD? Or said differently, how valuable is a world without RegFD where you can get all manner of information and trade on it?

Pre Reg FD (October 2000), Warren Buffets returns averaged 24%.

Post Reg FD (October 2000), Warren Buffets returns averaged HALF of that or 10-12%.

So disclosure is worth 10-12% per year - an enormous advantage to those that can act on any information that crosses their desk.

Meta just flipped the switch that prevents misinformation from spreading in the US
The company built effective systems to reduce the reach of fake news & found that these classifiers could reduce their reach by more than 90 %.
Last week, it shut them down.

10 years ago, my employer The New York Times asked me to do an urgent drawing on Charlie Hebdo. For hours, this cartoon appeared at the top of the home page - a first in the paper's history. 4 years later, the same @nytimes dropped all editorial cartoons. Times change... 👇

[Thread] Selon Climate Central, les jours de gel régressent fortement, surtout en 🇪🇺 (-10 à -20 jours/an).
Si c'est positif pour le tourisme, une grande catastrophe attend nos vergers : le manque de froid, bien plus impactant que canicules et sécheresses.
