@EllenRhymes @nealkhosla @Shripriya @m_ashcroft @JenVermet Couplet 69: The mother who hears her son called "a wise man" will rejoice more than she did at his birth
@EllenRhymes @nealkhosla @Shripriya @m_ashcroft @JenVermet Let me give you couple of couplets: The most I use(d) is the 475th couplet: When a cart is loaded full, adding even one more peacock feather will break its axle. Helps me in my life in more ways than I can count.
@EllenRhymes @nealkhosla @Shripriya @m_ashcroft @JenVermet But if I have to choose only one, then it would be Valluvar. He wrote Thirukural an ancient literature dated anywhere between 300 BCE to 5th century CE.
@EllenRhymes @nealkhosla @Shripriya @m_ashcroft @JenVermet Fantastic question Ellen. Thanks for asking. Had to squeeze my brain for 3 decades of memory. 3 Tamil authors had the most impact when I grew up - Valluvar, Bharathiyar, and Kannadhasan.
@briannekimmel When I wanted to apply for PMP certification, I asked my boss at that time. He said, "If your project fails, no one would bother you are a PMP; and if your project succeeds, even then no one would care you are a PMP.” Results matter, not credentials.
@sridhar001 @freud_momo @Schandillia Church exploited liberalism - doesn't explain rise of right wing in the US.
@rishabh_grg @buffer Thanks Rishabh. This is not once or twice. It happens often. Also I switch browsers and to mobile app too. The image I posted is from mobile. So either there is an issue with my account or there is some ghost playing tricks ;-)
@Schandillia From a country enjoying reality shows, the US is fast becoming a reality show itself. It is not funny when China is eyeing to dominate the world.
@freud_momo @Schandillia I understand the aspect about fear. Why across the globe there is a sudden rise of nationalism? Not just in one country.
@Schandillia why do you think nationalism is on the rise everywhere - turkey, france, us, and india?
@codelust There is a next wolf in the making. As Professor @TobyWalsh quotes a single city in China outspends entire GoI on AI. If we don’t wake up today, we will lose the upcoming war.

@Afroturrk @AnalectsTweet For something as permanent as your notes, wouldn't you want to have a system where you have full control? And that stores in an open format like markdown / text?
@Schandillia A pure example of mimetic violence by Rene Gerard. Thanks for sharing.
@theunsaif @Abhishek_Rai and then we wonder why there are no popular Indian apps for Chinese to uninstall. Be it movies or apps, we are quick to copy rather than innovate.
@TobyWalsh This is an interesting book Prof. @TobyWalsh. I especially liked the "co-learning" concept. There are many other notes I've taken. I don't agree regulation mitigates risk though. Regulation didn't prevent countries amazing nuclear and chemical weapons. Why would it work for LAW?
@TaylorPearsonMe Over the years I have developed this cognitive shortcut: if a person repeats something assume the opposite: - I am honest : he is a fraud - I respect women : he is a wife-beater - You'll enjoy working with me : Hell is on the way I am wrong sometimes, but mostly I am right
@thenewsminute @sowmya_rajen Thank you @sowmya_rajen for saying it so clearly - We should seek justice, not vengeance.
@patrick_oshag Untangling Skill and Luck by @mjmauboussin There’s no speed limit by @sivers The Multidisciplinary Approach to Thinking of Peter Kaufman Other best essays are here:
@anthilemoon @ness_labs @GREATBritain Congrats @anthilemoon. You are building something awesome. Good speed.
@shikhilsharma We may not be able to change the world. But we can definitely put a dent in the universe that knows us. Start with the man in the mirror.
@ghosh_dn @PritishNandy @srivatsayb VCs are already asking if Indian version of these apps will be built. They are ready to invest. Question is will GoI continue with this ban or will it be taken back soon.
@vijayanands Interesting you were able to bring this up in a night. What’s the tech stack you are using?
@Schandillia When symbolism trumps sleep is sweet for some.
@Abhishek_Rai “Blabbering random learning” Really? I haven’t read his books. I have heard him only once or twice. He comes off as a knowledgable philosopher. Mind why you say that?
@iam__prashanth @dmuthuk Worst thing is lobbying govt to tax your benefits or share the benefits with others. Happens…
@tarauk Wow. That is good. Didn’t know it. Thanks.
@tarauk Don’t think Rajini spoke out yet.
@KeaganStokoe Time to understand "non-functional requirements." There are courses and books on the things customer usually talks about - language, logic, product requirements. But if you mess up NFRs (performance, security, maintenance ...) your product is no good after first launch.
@iam__prashanth Reading 100 books on swimming doesn’t help you as much as spending 30 min on the pool
@svembu I have long respected Zoho university concept and now what you are doing based out of Tenkasi. Question: How would you keep the culture of the locality while spreading the technical know-how? Any thoughts?
@david_perell We, adults, learn by consume-produce-engage model. We need all the three to improve our learning. I have been following this model for long time and it is effective.
@sastrytumuluri You have a knack to bring a smile on the weekend. Thank you ;-)
Even if we win the rat race, we will still be rats
@visualwisdom108 @CalmAchiever What it means to learn in public? Any examples or articles?
It should be @0x7eff. There is no other way to bring tech companies to accountability.
@dmuthuk Dividends are the only reason why I invest in individual companies rather than in index funds.
@ryanstephens I usually don't tell them what to do, rather how to think about it. Because I don't know their context. Giving them a model to think helps them a lot
@andrewbadr I think @airmeet_com is trying to do something like that. It is a good idea.
@justink47443178 @YourselfHelping @BStulberg We are all ignorant of many things.
@CalmAchiever Please share some of the best essays you have read. Could be on corporate strategy, psychology, philosophy, writing etc.
@CalmAchiever Thanks Md.
@TheOtherParvez Scratching my own itch. Building a blogging & newsletter tool
I'll keep sharing as I read more. I will post them here: Don't forget to follow me to get them. What are the best essays that you keep reading again and again? Share them.
Rheostats by @BentleyGTCSpeed >What we all need are rheostats that can both brighten and dim the lights by degrees and by nuance. That’s patently absurd, like having the lights at one setting despite the time of day.
The Computer for the 21st Century by Mark Weiser >The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.
Strong Opinions, Weakly Held — a framework for thinking by @ameet >Allow intuition to guide you to a conclusion, no matter how imperfect—this is the “strong opinion” part. Then–and this is the “weakly held” part–prove yourself wrong.
