3 years ago today I was working at a 5-person startup in Boston that folded in less than a year. Now I’m in Canada, at a company that has rocketed from 100 to 200 employees over the past 7 months. Life is funny. – at Toronto, Ontario

Execellent post on how stephen Wolfram organizes his life. Standing table with a treadmill before they were fashionable. Lots of actionable tps. He is a remote CEO, which is quite impressive. t.ly/W3Oxv

Revenue from Apple’s services segment surprisingly missed expectations. That bodes ill for the company’s plans to shift its focus away from hardware and towards recurring subscription sales. Via @finimize finimize.com/wp/news/apples-…
"Lessons Learned from My First MiniCompetion", by @pevansimpson, a current participant at @datascienceret. "To achieve and maintain this state, we held 3 - 5 minute meetings every 45 - 90 minutes." Nice tool to work on tight deadlines (2.5 days to solve a fullstack DS task). #AI

"If your posture is to give hoping that you’ll earn the moral high ground and thus get something back, you didn’t give first. You gave second. You’re saying, “how can I incur a debt, one that I’m going to use to achieve my goals.” @SethGodinBlog

Fusion is the only way for humanity to survive. We should focus AI into solving fusion. #crazyideaMonday (thread after a conversation with @sehailfillali, my friend and @ai_deepdive participant in Toronto). Feel free to add any 'out there' idea you have here :)

Because AI is a general tool, finding a good use case provides lots of leverage. Using AI to help solve fusion is the most leverage I can think of. Any #billionaire out there caring to chip in? :) I have two rooms full of smart people in two continents @dataScienceRet @aideepdive

Recently I heard on a podcast that failure and success are not opposites. In fact, you can't succeed unless you fail. Success is finishing a marathon and failure is all the training, eating well, etc. to be able to run. So you actually need to fail harder and faster to succeed.

We spent $700 billion bailing out Wall Street. With that money, we could afford: - 8 million school teachers - 12 million infrastructure jobs - 78 million Head Start slots or - 196 million adults getting Medicaid We already have socialism. It’s for the rich.
