1/ What is the Secretary Problem?

U wanna hire the best secretary from N applicants. So u interview them 1 by 1 until u decide to accept one. Rejected candidates can't be resurrected.

Now replace "ur in HR" with
"ur a normal guy" (or girl).
Replace "secretary" with
"hot date" &/or "hot portfolio company🦄."
The strategy that maximizes for the BEST secretary also maximizes for the BEST gf/bf also maximizes for the BEST investment. 🤯
So what is it? 🤖

1) I love trees. I’ll say it. I love running on trails, walking the dog, biking with the kids. Nature good. There is a lot of talk in town lately about trees. A lot of side-taking (as if anyone is anti-tree??). What is getting lost in this is the bigger, more complex picture.
2) It’s easy to frame this as good people v. evil, greedy developers – that’s so easy. Which side would you be on? But the real story is far more complex. And it’s a story about equity, and diversity, and affordability. Issues pro-tree people also care deeply about.
3) But no one’s really talking about that part. So, here goes… Chapel Hill has had a rural buffer in place since the late ‘80s. This means that there is a circle around the edge of town beyond which we have agreed not to develop.
Andecdata: my super-local coffee place is out of Chemex filters & not getting any in soon. Went on @Amazon to buy. Read reviews. Saw questions about counterfeit filters being sold via @amazon.
Srsly people, counterfeiting COFFEE FILTERS? #ugh
Ordering direct from Chemex instead.

If you can’t guarantee supply chain integrity, you are going to end up with a lot of intellectual property lawsuits-and a lot of customers who abandon you & are willing to pay more at other outlets for supply chain integrity.
That’s a warning, @amazon.
That’s a warning, @amazon.
I won’t get them by tomorrow but also I won’t be poisoned by whatever un-foodsafe chemicals leech into my coffee from the fake ones.

@suresh_arvind @marynmck @9brandon There is a lot to this thread – first let me respond that health and welfare traits are very much included in selection indexes – for example in broiler selection >50% of selection weighting goes to health, welfare, and fitness - trends are improving ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20308417 1/11
@suresh_arvind @marynmck @9brandon Likewise in dairy the index has matured over time to move from a sole emphasis on milk production to a balanced index with now a -1 rating on milk production! Yes you read that correctly queries.uscdcb.com/AGIL-cache/ref… @John_B_Cole .@biobeef 2/11
@suresh_arvind @marynmck @9brandon @John_B_Cole And all this needs to be considered in terms of tradeoffs – for example due to genetic improvement we have decreased number of dairy cows in US from 26 million down to ~9 million while increasing 1.6 fold amount of milk produced @John_B_Cole .@biobeef academic.oup.com/jas/article/87… 3/11
