No stake in the matter, but Partiful's got the makings of the next great events / ticketing platform. After patiently building a user base bottoms-up & waiting for years, they've finally made contact with payment rails. For all the hype and interest around Ticketmaster-killers it seems like the long-shot bet to hold off on monetizing may have been the right one. Keep an eye out for these guys.
@AodenTeoMT Claim: itโs the opposite

Claim: mistakes of omission are costly

Conclusion: so costly that you canโt afford a mistake of omission

In his line of work, Keith Rabois needs to be right ~3 times in his life. He's been right considerably more than 3 times. Sometimes you miss the whale (Anthropic), but as long as you reel in big game every once in a while, you get to eat.
@145k4 This describes Littlefinger, Varys, and other information brokers. Unless you can quickly turn an information edge into something that compounds, youโre left with an exponentially depreciating asset!
Brokering information liquidity is dangerous and inherently risky!
@MillionInt Itโs so painful. When repeatedly cites a source you mentioned offhand (once) or doesnโt pick up on patterns youโve explicitly outlined it feels like chewing glass
