[Siu David @siudavid_]

I work with business owners who care to lead better.

I also offer fractional Sales, Operations, & People services.

I aim not at being an advisor/consultant. I am a mercenary, because I solve problems, mobilize people, and get sh*t done with founders and their executive teams.

Can @jasonfried and @Calnewport_ do a deep dive into how to use project management apps like @basecamp to execute the suggestions from the book slow productivity, please?

[Siu David @siudavid_]

We can say confidently that @JonHaidt is right about mobile phones, classroom environments, students’ well being. We have been experimenting this for 7 years now.

@jasonfried The Elements of Style by William Strunk

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@TrungTPhan In particular, Apple chose to mimick luxury watch sales in try-ons . We had to learn where to stand, how to seek permission to touch customers’ wrists, and the delicate movements of how to put on a sports band vs a Milanese loop vs a Hermes Double Tour loop.

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@TrungTPhan Look into how Apple evolved its retail staff to showcase and set up the Apple Watch.

It was an extensive re-education effort at scale- teaching the staff to help customers try on different watch bands, how to probe for style preferences, and how to sell the then use cases.

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@jasonfried oh and I meant in the day view.

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@jasonfried a very minor request: can you make the text display vertically for chinese characters? It will be perfect, just like chinese books on a bookshelf, and will be like how chinese text is read in chinese books!

Before Apple decides to do the right thing, this works for now. @heyhey in its full glory

@pitdesi Does Tetris count? Or Objectified?

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@TheBrainTech Thank you for taking the time to make ai a meaningful feature, instead of just something gimmicky. Next pls make it possible to turn the knowledge I have stored in thebrain into a reliable LLM.

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@sidraqasim 😭I am sorry to hear that. May there be peace for all.

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@p_millerd +pocket cast. I trust it more after folks at automattic/wordpress bought it, and made the app open source.

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@sidraqasim I listened to Yuval Harari's interview where strong statements were made against Netanyahu. I hope people would see the destruction he is bringing to humanity. https://t.co/pmJLS2i1FI

@Noahpinion 1. How to scale and commercialize drones/robotics (dji)
2. How to scale and commercialize prediction algorithms (TikTok, SHEIN)
3. How to implement state level surveillance and narrative control
4. How to scale and commercialize “clean” tech (ev, batteries, solar)

@canva I meant I want to apply canva for education for our school. How can that be done?

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@canva can I just email your support? I have tried finding the solutions on your website, with your chatbot, but to no avail. This is frustrating. I just want to know how to apply for education for a school (not just as a teacher). Thank you.

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@canva Yes. But I want to apply for the institution, not only for individual teachers. It says in the guide that’s possible. But how?

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@neilcybart And the use case described in the quoted tweet is good, just not good enough for a 700+24*12 standalone phone replacement.

[Siu David @siudavid_]

@jasonfried @lennysan @bchesky You have shared so much for others to study and copy.

What are some of the things someone else has shared and you have stolen, in building businesses, developing products, and or dealing with teams?
