If you want to start an online course, I made you a graph. Teaching online requires a portfolio of skills from four categories: 1) Business 2) Marketing 3) Education 4) Entertainment If you want to teach online, these are the skills you need to build.
Stick to your principles. Two great quotes: 1) “Tis easier to suppress the first desire, than to satisfy all that follow it.” — Ben Franklin 2) “It's easier to hold your principles 100 percent of the time than it is to hold them 98 percent of the time.” — Clayton Christensen

Good writing is strong, smooth, and specific. Strong: Be bold. Try to avoid qualifying words like "usually" and "maybe." Smooth: Make your reader's life easy. Writing clearly lets you communicate difficult ideas. Specific: Explain ideas with stories, statistics, and examples.
You earn trust by showing your accountability measures, not by making emotional appeals. Why does nobody learn this?
Last one today: If you can write the alphabet, you can ~draw~ all the crucial shapes you need to get started. Here is a song about that ✨ ✏️

If you want to have more interesting ideas, find the intersection of two fields. As @nealkhosla says, pick two faraway dots on this graph and connect them. Really smart. Really simple.
Nerding hard on digital gardens, personal wikis, and experimental knowledge systems with @_jonesian today. We have an epic collection going, check these out... 1. @tomcritchlow's Wikifolders:
Me: I love pastry Person on Twitter: I see that you like pastry and that’s fine but also I wondered if you ever knew that pastry was responsible for a murder in 1977 when someone set a sausage roll on fire which caused a fatality so you’re basically condoning murder here’s a link
Going on my first "Zoom hike" on Wednesday with some other @srcgraph team members. We each go on independent hikes while on a Zoom call and share the beautiful scenery on video. Anyone tried this?
How to get more leads from your “contact us” section: 1/ Contextualise header copy 2/ Use a real persons face and email 3/ Be specific with your availability
Recently, I have been super impressed two elements of Zoom (@zoom_us). First, the scalability has been amazing. From 10mm to 200mm users, with increasing usage per user. Wow. Second, the product is so slick and naturally easy to use. Very impressive.

@BorisJohnson You’ve just published the Cabinet’s Zoom ID number. Isn’t this a security risk?
This morning I chaired the first ever digital Cabinet. Our message to the public is: stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives. #StayHomeSaveLives
🖌️ I made a cheatsheet for event-driven finite state machines with @excalidraw! This describes the basic important concepts, and is applicable in any programming language.
It's amazing to see so many solutions that are coming up in the fight against CoVID 19. However there are also a lot of duplication of efforts. Putting up this list so that folks can either join existing teams or work on problems not yet addressed.
Brilliant misdirection. The apology (if it can do anything at all) is NOT for taking the harsh steps, but for not thinking through the steps. He reframes the apology for the 21-day lockdown and not for the actual cause of the mess - the only 2 hours given to scramble.
So 90% of the crap in the global economy is utterly useless: nobody needs 162 varieties of barbie dolls, or 68 brands of shitty laptops. Standardize: a few models, done well, durable, for everything. Good for climate, good for covid. Modular, resilient, lean. We can restructure.
To make money while you sleep, build things that don't sleep.
In skating, it is well documented that better skaters fall more in practice. They fall because they are trying harder moves. Falling is what separates Olympians vs. non-Olympians. Olympic medalists are estimated to have fallen over 20,000 times in practice before they win medals.
Scarcity and corruption are deeply tied. The reason we don't have enough of the things we need (homes for the poor, medical equipment, trained personnel, etc) is that each of those shortages suited either some rent-seeker, dodgy neta or a vested interest allied to them.
Here's the regimen that worked for him: Tylenol extra strength every 5-6ish hours, prescription anti-nausea + cough medicine, pulse oximeter to check oxygen levels at home, Pedialyte for hydration. Z-pack for pneumonia has helped. Congee is good for nausea.
When an emergency medical team responding to coronavirus in Israel had a break, they stopped to pray, one member facing Mecca and the other Jerusalem. @halbfinger has the details of the photo that struck a chord. 📸: Magen David Adom
@VaishaliGarg11 @niiticonsulting @ruchijolly @Meena_V Work from home means discipline, not social starvation. Set apart "social time" -- daily if possible, or take a mid-week hangout break. Co-working places are best. @myHQSpace offers a good range (I am not charging them for this tweet) ;-) #HowToWFH
Yup. Speak more. Know that Whatsapp and emails aren’t personal. Overcompensate for loss of sharing body language. Don’t react immediately if you are angry. When one can’t see you it’s worse. Use video calls whenever possible #howtoWFH

#Corornavirus should be a lesson to invest more in hospitals, medical infrastructure than on statues. To revamp our education system and not have mythology and superstition passed off science. Not hail politicians who only have bigotry to offer but question them on administration
I've been doing a lot of editing for @opensourceway this week. Here's a cheatsheet: - Delete any use of "obvious" - Delete any use of "just" - Delete most uses of "simple" - Delete any use of "easy" or reframe as "easier than"

Thomas Piketty was scheduled to teach at NYU this spring, starting this week. Here's the syllabus, reading list, and associated slides for the postponed course, Inequality Regimes: A Global History.
1/ One thing astronauts have to be good at: living in confined spaces for long periods of time. Find yourself in a similar scenario? Here are some pro tips...a thread.
We are witnessing a once in a century masterclass on how one global superpower slips into background & another takes centre stage. This is the 1st global event in generations without American leadership & philanthropy. World will change after this in ways we don't yet understand.
Everyone working remotely: ZOOM monitors the activity on your computer and collects data on the programs running and captures which window you have focus on. If you manage the calls, you can monitor what programs users on the call are running as well. It's fucked up.
The US doesn’t have the capacity nor the appetite for strong, central government health surveillance like the Chinese. I fear we don’t have the humility and sense of shared purpose like the Peruvians. 9/n
Fantastic resources for business owners trying to get a handle on the current situation
There’s a serious danger in people being told that only authoritarian brutality will save us... The fact is, China’s authoritarianism - specifically, early censorship of #coronavirus information to protect political egos - got us all into this mess in the first place.
Given the current climate, I'm making some tools available for people to create content that generates income. It'll cover: - How to unify your message - How to ideate and create consistently - How to build a captive audience One favor, RT this and I'll send it your way.
If you have had COVID19 and no longer have symptoms, the existing test for viral RNA will tell you nothing. We need a different kind of test, called a “serological" test, that measures the *antibodies* that your own body makes against the virus. 6/
Situations like this are why you often see me down play the importance of data. There is no data set in the world that tells you what a brand should or shouldn’t do during a pandemic. The proper response requires a skill set that is impossible to measure quantitatively.
