0 • A thread on the best reading lists I've come across so far.
1 • @patrickc: with over 700, this might be the only list you need.

patrickcollison.com/bookshelf
2 • @jsomers: useful excerpts and short blurbs to sift through.

jsomers.net/#books
3 • @KevinSimler: his "all time most influential" list is great. Keith Johnstone's "Impro" is hidden treasure.

4 • @danwwang: side note: his spectacular writing is a book recommendation in and of itself.

5 • @rabois: broken up into history of Silicon Valley, advice for entrepreneurs, and general greatness.

7 • @vgr: I like the video section, especially "Century of the Self."

8 • ^zhurnaly: I can't find a twitter handle but the tendency towards Dawkins / Dennett / Hofstadter here is my weak spot.

9 • @Meaningness: the list here helps you better understand the meaningness blog, which is almost a book itself. My version of self-help.

10 • @nntaleb: in typical Taleb fashion, look for what he does, not what he says. This is a link to all of the books he's reviewed on Amazon.

11 • @tylercowen: he frequently references books on the @MargRev blog, but this is my favorite – the best book about each country.

Intangible assets may be one of the most important, least understood phenomenon of the 21st. Innovation, growth, inequality, the role of management, and financial and policy reform can't be understood without a proper measure of intangible assets.
The 2002 Conference on Research in Income and Wealth sought to measure the types of investment people were making in "the new economy." At the time, Microsoft was the world's most valuable company at $250b. $3b (1%) was plant and equipment. This was unheard of.
Intangible investments usually incur a sunk cost. It's difficult to sell the "assets" at a future date. They're often specific to the company who made the investment, but at the same time, others may benefit from them.

Recent book recommendations (full list: danschlz.com/2018-reading).
Edwin Land heavily influenced Steve Jobs. Two "Landisms":

“If you are able to state a problem... then the problem can be solved.”

“Optimism is a moral duty.”

The Dream Machine, comprehensive SV history.

"Technology isn't destiny, no matter how inexorable its evolution may seem; the way its capabilities are used is as much a matter of cultural choice and historical accident as politics is, or fashion."

A framework for discovering narrative violations: what seems like X today can be better understood as ~X.

Wrong framework: most people believe X, but actually Y. Dichotomies are distorting.
• An energy company needed a product first.
• Dating apps were better understood as hookup apps.

Why the 1999 constitution does not support steady power #Thread

In 1882, Thomas Edison built the first power plant in New York City. Over a 10 year period, he built more power plants around the city and a few others. New York City has been with uninterrupted power for over
125 years.

Other investors saw what he did, and the proliferation of power stations spread across the United States and Canada on a city by city basis. Cities that didn't have power either invited investors to build power plants for them or the Municipal Government created
Public Utilities to purchase power from nearby plants. Each city and municipal area, sought to provide power for their citizens.

Other cities worldwide observed what was happening in US cities, and built power plants for themselves too.

People have been wanting info about my streaming setup, so here's a bit of information about it... It's nothing masterful, but I do what I can because I must. ;) (Somewhat long #thread) Obligatory stream link: twitch.tv/mattlewellyn #SupportSmallStreamers
First, my stream art. My art usually starts somehow based on a @streamlabs theme, even if only for inspiration or to make my custom CSS/JS a lot easier to wrangle. The text is usually done w/ custom browser sources. For more info on Streamlabs OBS visit streamlabs.com/slobs/d/103698…
For custom fonts, I override whatever font selection is made via custom CSS. I embed my fonts as base 64 in the CSS thanks to @FontSquirrel's webfont generator. Base 64 seems to perform the best for locally-hosted HTML files with inline CSS even. Probably because no caching.

Ok. It’s time to go into Joshua’s memory box and tell his story #thread
Joshua was very much a rainbow baby 🌈 and we were so excited and over the moon when I finally made it into the second trimester. (Alex and I are both big rugby fans!)
I was working as a 1st year Registrar in A&E when I suddenly broke my waters at 24 weeks. I was transferred to Southampton @UHSFT who have a specialist level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. They were wonderful, and did everything they could to stop my labour over Father’s Day.

THREAD: I've referenced it in articles and recommended it all over, but haven't shown direct public appreciation for the masterwork of @danhancox's book 'Inner City Pressure: The Story of Grime'. So here are a few (deserved) broad stroke reflections from my reading of it (1/11)
Dunno where to start tbh. There are tonnes of things to say. The historian detail, the music geek's addictive excitement of tone, the careful willingness to pay respect to, and empower, the voices of sources (this last one is insanely important and underreported IMO) (2/11)
The vivid, intense but palatable balance of storytelling and raw analysis, taking you from the unseen depths of DIY pirate radio culture and street side interviews to the cynical heights of state power and political decision-making (3/11)

#Thread Há risco de tornados amanhã no Sul do Brasil? Sim, as condições de vento divergente serão propícias ao fenômeno com a presença de uma corrente de jato em baixos níveis na Metade Norte gaúcha. Explicamos esse quadro em nosso site.
Não temos nada contra que se informe o risco do fenômeno. É correto que não se “higienize” informação e se leve ao público todos os riscos identificados por quem elabora o prognóstico de tempo severo. Temos oposição, porém, ao excessivo peso dado à previsão de tornado.
Um, impossível dizer com antecedência onde ocorrerá. Dois, avisos nos EUA têm tempo médio de antecedência de 15 minutos. Três, diferente de lá não temos aqui meios para chegar em tão curto período um aviso a uma comunidade sob risco (sirenes ou EAS). Quarto, inexistem abrigos.

Cow is 'Mata' for RSS/BJP & other Hindutva affiliates - we ask for votes in its name, lynch people & even demand a "Rashtra Mata" status for it. But for the sake of elections, we may forget our Mata.

This #thread intends to share such instances of our political tactics!
1) "BJP has no Plan to Ban Beef in Goa" says Amit Shah

2) BJP candidate for Kerala Lok Sabha bypoll promises quality beef if elected!
