We had Trump for four years, UK got broken for an entire generation with Brexit - such a shame
Incredibly disappointing to see French border control problems once again adding to traffic mayhem just as families are trying to getaway for the Easter holidays.

An old restaurant friend told me that you can be good at the front of the house, good at the back of the house, or good at the books. Few people are good at 2 and nobody is good at all 3. Corollary is that a good leader needs to know what they’re not and hire accordingly

Having Trump on the ticket is a win-win. If he loses we will know Trumpism is over for a long time, if he wins we know where the country stands and can move on
Just to calibrate expectations:
1. The arrest secures the nomination for Donald Trump.
2. The base will rally politically, and possibly physically. (Let me know how that goes.)
3. The gentry GOP will double down now on DeSantis, to no avail.

Also Theranos was an actual fraud whereas SVB was a run on a bank that would have been chastened but still functional were it not for collective VC action

Doesn’t YouTube have liability here? This seems like a major legal risk to have these business relationships with children and I would hope the abuse in Hollywood over the prior century could at least create some learnings for the social media industry.
A YouTube star who went viral as a toddler talks about the resentment she feels toward her parents, who told her she had to keep making videos so they could maintain their lifestyle
Influencer parents and the kids who had their childhood made into content teenvogue.com/story/influenc…
![Claire, whose name has been changed to protect her privacy, has never known a life that doesn’t include a camera being pointed in her direction. The first time she went viral, she was a toddler. When the family’s channel started to rake in the views, Claire says both her parents left their jobs because the revenue from the YouTube channel was enough to support the family and to land them a nicer house and new car. “That’s not fair that I have to support everyone,” she said. “I try not to be resentful but I kind of [am].” Once, she told her dad she didn’t want to do YouTube videos anymore and he told her they would have to move out of their house and her parents would have to go back to work, leaving no money for “nice things.” When the family is together, the YouTube channel is what they talk about. Claire says her father has told her he may be her father, but he’s also her boss. “It’s a lot of pressure,” she said.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fq9DGnfXoAMYvIN.jpg?name=orig)

This is doubly true for non-profits where donor demands for enumerating and validating the benefits of their work leads to the hobbling of teams
The best new ideas always have unanticipated benefits. So it's stupid to require people who want to do new things to enumerate the benefits beforehand. The best you can do is choose smart people and then trust their intuitions about what's worth exploring.

ENA Express is a cool product but what I like just as much is this crisp thread about network flow - highly educational!
ENA Express is easily my favorite launch of this re:Invent, and we’ve been eagerly waiting having customers try it out. It is also worth a short thread. 1/

@elonmusk Enterprise “Twitters” are the obvious money maker. Enterprises have the $$$, the model does not require advertisers, and it’s clear Slack doesn’t cut it for large conversations
Excited to be part of S3 Berlin (as of this Summer) and seeing these cool features keep rolling out (lambda transformations on HEAD and LIST)
S3 Object Lambda is very powerful and cool, and Danilo has news about the latest additions to it. Check out his thread and let *him* know what you are going to build!
I love Istanbul’s love for cats (and dogs)
The #Istanbul Metro has outsourced its fare collection, and the new ticket inspectors are very strict.

Sort of incredible what a superior architecture Apple has for cc payments.
/1 How do Apple Pay and Google Pay handle sensitive card info?
The diagram below shows the differences. Both approaches are very secure, but the implementations are different. To understand the difference, we break down the process into two flows.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

This is extremely cool and opens up some awesome possibilities

We are releasing not only a.. 1/🧵

An important and well-written article. Sinema is focused on winning the next term and possibly President and she’s shown she can do it by being strategic … and knowing the value of style. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…

Midnight’s Children is one of the best book I’ve ever read - this war continues on and I thank Mr. Rushdie for his work across the decades
BREAKING: Author Salman Rushdie has been attacked as he was about to give a lecture in western New York. An @AP reporter witnessed a man storm the stage at the Chautauqua Institution and begin punching or stabbing Rushdie as he was being introduced. apnews.com/article/salman-ru…
