✈️🤔 What are your favorite traveling tips?
Some of mine:

🛄 Only bring carry-on luggage. Often cheaper + less time waiting
🛒 In case of doubt, don't bring it. You can buy it at destination too
🎫 Ticket prices vary wildly. Do your research. (kiwi.com momondo.com etc)
💬 Meet people through Meetup, Couchsurfing, Nomad List, Tinder
📅 Stay flexible by not planning too far ahead (my preference anyway)
🏨 Pre-book hotel/airbnb for only first few days, research more when at destination
💳 Use @RevolutApp for easy payments (not a sponsor haha)
✅ Make checklists for prep before flight, and arrival
💧 Stay hydrated during flights
🍛 Select specific in-flight meal during check-in. You'll get food first + your choice. AFAIK there's never an additional cost for choosing beforehand
🎧 Noise-cancelling headphones for flight
🗺 Add trip to nomadlist.com to receive arrival email with local tips (which sim card to get, tipping percentage, etc)
👕 You can wash clothes during travel. No need to pack weeks worth of clothes.
💺 Use SeatGuru.com to find the best seats in plane
👍 Enjoy
I learned many of these tips from @levelsio (@nomadlist), and @jelmerdeboer's book: thuisblijvenisduurder.com

💬 I often get Q’s like these:

How did you get your first customers for WIP? How did you grow BetaList’s traffic? Etc.

Makers are looking to reverse-engineer success. I see it everywhere.

I don’t think it works that way and the answers to those questions are mostly useless. 💥
I have built dozens of different products over the last couple of years. The vast majority failed. 😭

Surely if I know the answers to these questions, but still fail over and over again, these answers aren’t that useful. 🤷‍♀️

So what’s a better question to ask? 🤔
99.9% of the questions I receive are about the products that did well. In a way that makes sense, because we quickly forget about those that didn’t succeed.

🧠 This is known as survivorship bias.

Focusing on what survived, while ignoring what made it survive in the first place.

Finished listening to the ‘Creative Selection’ audiobook by @kocienda

It gives a rare look behind the scenes at Apple, how they design products, and the amount of work that went into designing software we now take for granted like the iOS keyboard.

📖👌

creativeselection.io
It took me only a few days to go through the whole book. It normally takes me weeks if not months to finish a book.

That’s how good it is.

Shout out to @atpfm for the (sponsored) recommendation. 🙌
Some of the key insights for me personally are (in my own words):

👀 Show, don’t tell.

Rather than endlessly discussing ideas in the abstract, Apple engineers build prototypes that are demo’ed to each other and decision makers.

Advice for first-time founders: Don’t build a service for other startups.

I know it’s tempting. It’s fun. You know the market. You understand the problem. You enjoy talking to your customers.

Problem: Every founder thinks this way so there’s A TON of competition.
Instead try and solve a problem for another domain you have experience in that other founders are less likely to touch.

A simple SaaS for SMB’s can be a great way to learn the ropes.
Full disclosure: I built @BetaList, @AllStartupJobs, @wipchat, @Request4Startup, etc 😂

ஏன்.. இது போன்ற தருணங்களில்,
*பெண்ணின் இதழ்கள் மட்டும் விரிந்து திறந்து கொள்கின்றன?
*ஆணின் இதழ்கள் சற்று மூடியே கொள்கின்றன? #Doubt:))
சரி.. நம்மூரு பசங்க= சொங்கி..
என்று அசலூருக்குப் போய்ப் பார்த்தாலும்,
அங்கேயும் இதே கதை, இதே கதி தான்!🤣

முத்தம் எ. கலைக்கு..
முதலில் தருவதை விடுங்கள்..
முதலில் "ஆயத்தம்" ஆவது= பெண்ணா? ஆணா? #Doubt
இதுல என்னமோ Biology இருக்கு டோய்!

ஆண்-பெண் முத்தம் தான் அப்படி இன்று பார்த்தால்..
ஆண்-ஆண்/ பெண்-பெண் முத்தங்களும் அவ்வண்ணமே உள்ளன!🤣

*ஆண்= குவிப்பு
*பெண்= விரிப்பு
இது என்ன உளவியல்? அறிஞர்கள் தரவுடன் உரைத்தால் நலம்! நன்றி!

So, electric kettles. Let me see if I can't convert some other white US-born people over.

Here are some reasons:

1. You can set specific temperatures, not just heat things to a boil. Get closer to the ideal temperature for your tea, spend less time waiting for it to cool.
2. If you need boiling water to pour into or over something, not just like a single serving for instant whatever, you've got it in a nice kettle with a spout and an insulated handle.
3. You never have that thing where surface tension has stopped the water from actually boiling even though it's at temperature, and when you move it and disturb the water it explodes all over your hand (Google it, if you don't know this thing.)

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

ஐயகோ!
ஏன் இப்படி உயிரை வாங்குகிறீர்கள்?:(((((((((

கூறப் படுகிறது, கருதப் படுகிறது..
கேள்வி கேட்கும் முன், கொஞ்சமேனும் யோசிக்கவே மாட்டீங்களா?

ஆதி பகவன்= "திரிக்கப்பட்டது" என்றால்
யார் சொல்றானோ.. அவனிடம் தரவு கேளுங்களேன்?
ஏன் ஒவ்வொரு முறையும், தமிழுக்கு மட்டுமே Burden of Proof?:(
அகர முதல எழுத்தெல்லாம் - ஆதி
"பகவன்" முதற்றே உலகு!
இது குறள் வெண்பா! "வெண்டளை" மட்டுமே வரும்!

இப்போ.. "பகவன்" எடுத்துட்டு, "பகலவன்" போடுங்க!

"பகலவன் முதற்றே" = ஆசிரியத் தளை!
வெண்டளை அல்ல!
அப்பறம் எப்படிக் குறள் "வெண்பா" ஆகும்? Question Yourself !!
…
*ஆ-தி= நேர் நேர்= தேமா
வெண்டளை
*பக-வன்= நிரை நேர்= புளிமா
வெண்டளை

இப்போ பகலவன் எ. மாற்றிப் போட்டுப் பாருங்கள்!

*பக-லவன்= நிரை நிரை= கருவிளம்
"ஆசிரியத் தளை"
*முத-ற்றே= நிரை நேர்= புளிமா

How ஆசிரியத் தளை in வெண்பா? CASE DISMISSED!
யப்பா சாமிகளா!😂

This, in connection to why Weinstein was allowed to surrender, is a good question. /1
/2 First, it makes a huge difference surrendering vs. getting arrested. Let's assume you can make bail. You'll typically spend FAR more time in custody if you get arrested than if you surrender. This is often a feature, not a bug.
/3 Cops, if they want to screw with you, will arrest you Friday morning, drive you around until it's too late to see a judge, and keep you in custody over the weekend - ideally a long weekend -- before you see a judge.
