1. Many gov handles may not be happy the platform is private. So might move over unless Elon proves he is trustworthy 2. Dev relation might improve. Lots of apps might develop around Twitter 3. Either char limit increase or separate service for long form writing https://t.co/APh1C5m3iY
If you don’t go to school you are uneducated. If you go to school you are mid-educated https://t.co/LZq6BOa7VL
> time-to-maturity of different results varies Ex: a B2B sale takes min 6 months to close. Need building relations, constant follow up. In between there is no way to measure results of a diligent or otherwise folks True even when working from office https://t.co/K49R6ADTzc

1. ETF / Index would still be the safest investment for common folks 2. Prefer dividend paying companies. You are not waiting for some future time to cash out your investments 3. All investment risks are relative 4. Diversify across asset classes, geographies https://t.co/YCdiJdD4U0
When a big company buys a niche service, the niche service doesn’t get any focus and it starts to rot. Here is a case of Revue & Twitter. https://t.co/JCf0ZOjEPz

There is definitely a need for tools like @logseq & @workflowy where you can think and go deeper on a single bullet point. But as the number of items grow both tools become unusable.
Tried @logseq again on Mac with abt 1000 files (obsidian repo). Too slow to be usable
So across the world the scene is the same. Parents send kids to school thinking they have delegated educating the kid to teachers. Schools send homework delegating education back to parents. Happily play this ping-pong or homeschool the kids. https://t.co/KHrTRxpcn4
Ability to correct mistake come from: - lack of awareness of our biases - Low frequency of feedback - Depending too much on hindsight rather than on foresight https://t.co/abXDdOeoWB
Not all wives make fine party presidents. Think of Janaki MGR & Lallu’s wife. Sonia wasn’t a dummy. She traveled across the country, campaigned, negotiated, and took on cheap, lowly attacks. If there has to be a woman role-model, I would point to her. https://t.co/3goZzInZLH
Best teachers know why a student makes a mistake. They don’t dismiss the student’s effort, attitude. They don’t get angry. They know each student struggles at different aspects.
Should you stop reading books if they don’t change you? 1. Reading books is the best avenue to have a dialogue with brightest minds. 2. If your mindset is not changing possible you are reading fluffy books or more tactical books (“how to”) 👇 https://t.co/v00WahGSag

Here is a great example of "Application Modernization": @smashingmag retained Wordpress for its CMS but uses Jamstack for front-end.

I find @bigthink ‘s writing on the book (power of positive thinking) shallow. It debates the author not the book nor it’s ideas nor it’s impact on people (positive or negative) May be a title of “Contradictory preacher of positive psychology” would be right for the content. https://t.co/haxd8C8xSJ
A fine thread by @amangoeliitb what govt expects from us and what we expect from govt. Is it too much to expect basic working facilities from govt when they take so much from us? https://t.co/uIa9Q8o8dH

Hey @mijustin : Reading through this again, watching these clips and wondering from a parent pov: How do you expose your kids towards these things - speak publicly etc, now that you don't go to church. https://t.co/pOFTlumbsp
We don’t need better meetings; we need better tools for collaboration so that we don’t need as many meetings
One common thread behind many success stories (but doesn’t get discussed explicitly) is: certain accumulation of privilege Could be coz of birth, college, geography, previous ventures etc. https://t.co/J1lZ0num09
