Every year 80,000 people vanish here
just like I vanished from covering news in Japan

This is what we've been working on, an original podcast w/@campsidemedia

3/32: This is because all human beings need 3 things to survive: Oxygen, Water and Food. Without any of them we can’t survive. But, bad things start to happen if we don’t have oxygen for 3 minutes, water for 3 days or food for 3 weeks.

@BDSBoston Did you know the ADL promotes anti “hate speech” statutes protecting all minorities?

“An important part of our work is ensuring law enforcement agencies and personnel understand the threats to vulnerable populations.”

Web2 was the same as Web1, with much better tech. Mobile changed all our lives.

Web3 holds promise of reshaping politics, finance and economics, but 99.9% of all endeavors have only a profit motive and vanishingly limited utility.

This Vice article reflects how I and many tech entrepreneurs feel about Web3: a promising set of technologies that have been malappropriated by a class of investors to take money from fools.

When web1 was new, I defended it from critics because it made life better…

Web1 transformed a world of tv, newspapers, booking by phone, physical retail and the postal service. At the time, founding a startup to make a reputation and maybe get rich were the rewards for making something useful.

@MattsterT3 @mekkaokereke @Carnage4Life “Good morning”. Simulated daily stand ups??

[Andrew Westmoreland @abwestmoreland]

@Carnage4Life Beyond the environmental travesty, my main concern/observation is that an entire generation of (largely well funded) entrepreneurs seems to have forgotten how to add value.

I don’t care about tech A or B implicitly, I care about how it helps humans.

This is the first Twitter-powered bear VC market. Downturn took a while to trickle down from public markets to venture, but once it did, sentiment changed literally in 2-3 days. Hyper-connectivity of the ecosystem through Twitter played a disproportionate role, it seems.

@cgledhill @RingGo_parking @transportgovuk Handling cash is a sunk cost, so not considered by the operator. SoftBank overcame this in Japan by making digital payments free for the merchant, and once hooked started monetizing. It cost billions but acquired ~44M users in the process! Not everyone has that option☺️
