Amazing that a chip bricked in 46-yr-old Voyager I, preventing it from sending data, and NASA figured out how to split up and reallocate its functions to other hardware, sending code 15 billion miles away (45 hours round trip!)--and Voyager's back online. https://t.co/OOi1LPZGbT

Regardless of your belief system in the world this is absolutely a colossal technological triumph of humanity

If SVB depositors aren’t made whole, then corporate boards will have to insist their companies use two or more of the BIG four banks exclusively.

Which will crush smaller banks.

AND make the too big to fail problem way worse. 

(SVB equity holders are wiped. That’s fine.)

On the other hand, demographics & home price appreciation aren't always linear.

The purple thingy below represents the '00s housing boom/bust.

.@POTUS we must extend the 60-day grace period for laid-off H1B visa holders to find another job during this economic downturn

I suggest 6 months

These hard-working, high-tax-paying individuals are critical to the economy & it's the right thing to do

I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives.

The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing.

Here are 6 graphs everyone needs to see:

@NewsLambert I don't see this trend in cross market demand at https://t.co/LhVxcLBpY9. I guess they are measuring differnet things, but don't see as much correlation.

[Nitesh Mehrotra @niteshm2]

@NewsLambert Majority of the price decline during high inflation of 80s was in real prices, not nominal. But hopefully inflation next year will be 2%, so it won't matter 😀

@jrichlive @NewsLambert 64% of demand in Boise is from out of state - so local incomes don't matter as much. Real Q - would people out of state still want to move to Boise? Check out https://t.co/LhVxcLBpY9

I've observed two strategies in the new home market re: pricing. 1. Builders doing modest $1, $3, $7K price cuts to see how buyers respond. Typically, minimal change in demand 2. Builders doing massive price cuts (highest I've heard to-date is 35%). Buyers rush back in

Tech layoffs are a reminder that the US H1B system badly needs reform. Employees who helped build widely used and valued products deserve better than to scramble for a job or need to leave. Grace periods should be extended and the time to green cards should be much faster.

The NFL union said it would investigate the Miami Dolphins' concussion evaluation process after Tua Tagovailoa returned to a game following a hard hit earlier this week. On Thursday, he was carried off the field by stretcher.

I take no pleasure in being right. Pray for Tua. We saw this coming. Get angry. Get involved with @ConcussionLF to make sure the @NFL can't do this again.

It isn’t just VCs… In the age of the internet it isn’t worth trying to convince anyone of anything - you are way better off instead ‘discovering’ people who agree with you (which is both great and terrible for the world)

In Mar 2020 I announced Coinbase was going "remote first". This is what it now looks like in the US where we now have employees in almost every state. (each red dot represents a region where we have at least one employee)

Energy transitions can happen quickly.

🇬🇧 When I was born (1990s), the UK was getting nearly two-thirds of its electricity from coal. This is now less than 2%.

🇩🇰 Denmark was getting nearly 90% from coal. This is now 15%.

Gonna be very weird if Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week, saying it should be left to the States to decide, right after it just imposed a constitutional right to concealed carry of firearms, saying it cannot be left to the States to decide
