New Washington Post editorial: All schools should go phone free. Cites stunning stat that 97% of teens say they use their phones during school hours, esp. for TikTok. Phones are kryptonite for learning. Parents: please send the editorial to school admins washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

"What's your runway?" - If the company is NOT profitable, it depends on VC funding. - While the company is not profitable, that money will be burned and the company will need to raise more. - Runway means "# months until the money runs out". - 18+ months is good. 24+ ideal.

Something must have gone horribly wrong in my professional life because a day in my calendar looks like a barcode, unlike this example...
OK.. I'll bite! I run a $600M business, and this is a screenshot of my week next week, and a thread on some of my thoughts.
Irony of getting this while walking around Swiss Cottage... The authors do not seem to be familiar with DeFi and web3 concepts but they probably represent a fraction of the population.

Google may be only a year or two away from total disruption. AI will eliminate the Search Engine Result Page, which is where they make most of their money. Even if they catch up on AI, they can't fully deploy it without destroying the most valuable part of their business!
Google is done. Compare the quality of these responses (ChatGPT)

ChatGPT is potentially the biggest threat to Google's market dominance. Both fundamentally answer questions - but the cleanliness and quality of the AI responses are mind-boggling. We're witnessing the birth of a new paradigm.

The Google doodle of today with the story of Jerry Lawson and the retro-game builder is top-notch!
ChatGPT has fantastic answers about common engineering leadership questions - but the AI struggles to provide deeper insights following its first response. Incredibly impressive results nevertheless!
Crypto beats fiat when moving money around. Much faster (minutes, not days) and not restricted to bank opening hours like in Colombia. Stablecoin settlements are a huge plus for the cash flow of merchants.
How would you feel if an AI wrote your performance review?

Longer, smarter, more focused working hours are key to a founder's success. And luck too.
Obviously it does. Don’t be naïve.
How's the Twitter feed generated? 99% of the content is noise. Next AI challenge: accurately prioritize signal posts, even if it means an empty feed most of the time. Less is more.

Twitter is saturated with Elon. I bet there are less frequent quotes of Kim Jong-un in the North Korean media than Musk retweets on this platform. Give a voice to all.

Cynical and bitter perspective. I'd rather see a university degree as the crowning achievement of years of learning that prepare you for life, not a token that guarantees participation in monopolistic practices.

Next up: Tehran airport expansion! Unimaginative regional rivalry at its finest. Instead look at Norway for a better example of how to reinvest oil wealth.
