Hydrating properly significantly improves mental & physical performance. This is not guesswork. The Galpin Equation = bodyweight in pounds divided by 30 = the number of ounces of water to ingest per 15 min of exertion. (On average, not necessarily on the 1/4 hour). @DrAndyGalpin

What are some of the most creative use cases for DAOs that you've seen or would like to see? e.g. @YieldGuild gamers buying virtual land to build on and make more valuable, DAOs being able to create collective art by members adjusting individual attributes

This CDC report on the new COVID variant suggests that cases will continue to fall despite the emergence of the new variant IF we can vaccinate people quickly enough. (They assume 1M doses/day; the US has averaged about 850k/day in the past week.) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/m…

1/ to all the crypto people obsessing over the recent news of a "digital dollar" - it's terrifying and is basically the opposite of what crypto is all about (systemic hedge, self-sovereign, etc) what they're talking about is similar to what Sweden has done a short story...

Ever wondered how the @zoom_us macOS installer does it’s job without you ever clicking install? Turns out they (ab)use preinstallation scripts, manually unpack the app using a bundled 7zip and install it to /Applications if the current user is in the admin group (no root needed).

Startup employees- Don’t second-guess yourselves. Great startups are made during down cycles. I’m sure you’ve heard this before but it’s really true. I experienced it with PayPal (dot-com crash) and Yammer (‘09 crisis). Stay tough, stay focused. This is when you earn your spurs.
Startup employees I've talked to have been kicking themselves for not working at a BigTechCo™ in times like these. Will a crisis make GOOG, FB, AMZN, MSFT, etc more appealing to top talent, more dominant in business and less threatening to regulators? thein.fo/ec9058f4fe40faae

Why is @stripe's API so good? Teams debate the naming of each field, talk about trade-offs, and attempt to plan ahead for new features that may change the shape of the API. We *take the time* to get it right, and individual engineers recognize the best design requires teamwork.
