This is a shocker but @BuzzFeedBen aka NYTBen or whatever will make a fabulous media columnist.
@BuzzFeedBen I truly hope his new role is paired with a "we're hiring a public editor at long last" announcement.

That would be a killer one-two for media reporting and accountability and better prepare the NYT for the 2020 onslaught of criticism, internal arrogance, disinfo.)

California NIMBYs win again. This cycle is so depressing. And now the gentrification and sprawl and traffic and air pollution and carbon emissions will continue on their upward trajectory. la.curbed.com/2020/1/29/2111…
Interesting that the Nor-Cal contingent, perhaps because the housing crisis is even more acute here, mostly came to support. Resistance came from LA. Some well-intended if IMHO misguided, but some decidedly not.

Detailed reporting out of who is voting which way and why is key.
.@mje415 has been doing great reporting on SB50 and other housing issues for us. Give her a follow: motherjones.com/politics/2020/…

Just putting this out there: If you need a new roof, really take a look at an IB roof. It's like a single sheet of PVC. Lasts a long time, very insulating Is white, so helps climate.
They last 20+ years, as long or longer than an conventional roof and since there are no real seams, no leaks.
Put one on almost 5 years ago (i was reminded, as I called them to get a quote for solar) and it cut our heat bills by 30% and draftiness waaaaay down. (1896 building, but still.)

What if @uber and @lyft chose to/were made to allow riders to choose hybrid or EV vehicles, and even gave credit to riders and drivers who took/drove them?
@Uber @lyft That seems an eminently possibly corporate or city/state policy, would speed the greater fleet turnover to EV, etc.
@Uber @lyft In fact, cities could mandate that @uber and @lyft help provide charging stations for those drivers/general public.

Trying to do portfolio analysis for @zillionize🤓

It was never a traditional VC fund, and has one single evergreen LP @aspose, so I never analyzed nor reported IRR.

I'll probably split the portfolio into 2 "vintages" for comparison💡

2011 - 2014 (Fund I)
2014 - 2017 (Fund II)
@zillionize @aspose Since @zillionize was my after-work job when working as an operator at @aspose, it was an intentional decision to use @ycombinator as main deal-flow.

☑️I've always kept "2 jobs" since 2001 upon arrival at @GeorgiaTech for my PhD study: free tuition with research assistantship.
@zillionize @aspose @ycombinator @GeorgiaTech For now I'll focus on break-out winners for the sake of "power law" (lots of learning as we go).

So the multiples (10x, 20x, 30x etc.) are meant to be approximate within range so I won't accidentally disclose too much info to therefore delete my tweets later for that reason.

Disclaimer: this is not a qualified scientific statement, just our opinion after reading the BBC story.

“Prof Jog believes Parkinson's disease reduces the signals coming back to the brain - breaking the loop and causing the patient to freeze.”

bbc.com/news/health-47…
If Parkinson’s Disease is a consequence of problems with the feedback loops, this could have major implications for research and for the quality of life of patients.

Our body is a very complex system that relies on potentially thousands of féedback loops.
Every single physiological function that keeps us alive, in motion and healthy depends on a complex network of feedback loops. Temperature, blood pressure, heartbeat, hunger, sleep, movement, smell, hearing, waste, immunity, decisions, emotions, you name it.

$LFIN 1. I am tired of tweeting on Longfin, so here is one last set to "full proof" that this company is going to $0, no matter what rabbits are pulled out. I will just focus on the @wsj article by @austenhufford and @cnbc article by @chengevelyn cnbc.com/2018/03/27/lon…
$lfin 2. The article states the following (see image). Free float is now above 5% as of March 11 due to expiration of lockup on consultant's stock holding.
$lfin 3. The CEO has disclosed information that was not publicly known. STRIKE 1 . If the shares were under lockup agreement by insiders and released for sale , they had to file Sec Form 4, within 2 business days of March 11. STRIKE 2.

THREAD: 👉🏼Apparently an experiment gone awry at CERN killed three scientists and caused catastrophic damage to the planet’s largest super-collider.

What is the purpose of CERN and who is behind it?

2. Basically it is a projct funded and set up by a group of people who many refer to as "the Cabal". They are 1% -ers who have controlled our planet for thousands of years. Using technology that is unavailable to the rest of us, they are trying to create a worm-hole/...
3. ...escape route out of our solar system by setting up a super-colider that uses 9,600 super magnets. The recent catastrophy occured when they increased its power by adding 1,800 super-magnents in order attenuate the opening to a desirable location.
