Unless you’re a very particular type of person, it really is hard to leave Facebook. But there is a viable way that preserves every useful Facebook feature (greatly enhanced) without ANY downsides... It’s so simple that it just might work: The Personal Email Newsletter (PEN). ~🧵

Tim Cook leans back in his chair, rubbing his hands together "The plan is simple. We bid them up to 10 times the price. Then we bail. Microsoft overpays. It's perfect."

There's still time to RSVP for Off the Record next Tuesday @ 12PM EST. We’ll be catching up with Mike Todasco, Sr Director of #Innovation at @PayPal about innovation in a global #fintech company. https://t.co/PAvsRkaH1P #virtualevents #technology

Had a phenomenal time talking about ballroom dance with @BBCOS this morning.

“The magic in Domino's famous offer to deliver pizza in less than 30 minutes or it’s free was brilliant because of the research, not the copy. The important part wasn’t the branding, it was knowing people were sick of not knowing when their pizza would arrive.” Bond Halbert

Ritual, it turns out, is made of friction - a friction that forces us out of mindlessness and into awareness. Anything that forces us to escape muscle memory and our screens yields unexpected dividends - especially when it comes to creativity (by definition, escaping patterns)

Remember the question is not "Can this product be built?" The questions are "Should this product be built?" and "Can we build a sustainable business around it?”

I used to think... Facebook was built by geniuses with supercomputers. My favorite writers knew every word in the dictionary. The best artists could draw everything out of their head. Now I realize they’re all just people who work hard, edit excessively, and copy constantly.

No doubt that @cohnhead is one of the best in the Atlanta startup world. Our city is a better place because of him! 👏

Conversation starter: If you were dropped back in time into January 1st 1800, how would you successfully prove you were from the future without bringing anything back?

@rahulvohra @Superhuman I can make a custom Google Script and move to a label that restores nightly. Would match snooze speed and interactions but unnested would still be mentally slower.

6 seconds and 6 interactions to snooze an email for This Evening. NLP solves on desktop but still 300X slower than the usual 20ms. @rahulvohra is @Superhuman focused on daytime workflows only?

@Superhuman 2/ Spent a week away on native, Spark, Newton, you name it but feeling remoting into a desktop would be my personal preference for seamless workflow and speed. @mballance @gauravvohra1 @rahulvohra

1/ Always intrigued the diff in mobile/tablet-first design vs desktop re: UX. An email app like @Superhuman flies on desktop but lack of mirror keyboard functionality on iPadOS contrasts. Shows the ups and downs of Electron apps when it comes to accessibility.

What drives business success? Team… created by culture…dr iven by attitude… the people you surround yourself with make the different daily.

Don’t Wait! Let’s go!!!

Talk about retention strategy. Tried to cancel @SIRIUSXM by logging into website. Forced to call. Got pressured into a stream only account. Tried to cancel that. Called again. Representative was unable to transfer my call to the cancelation department. Seems suspect.

The number of young women and underrepresented minorities in AP Computer Science has grown TEN-FOLD since 2013, thanks to the educators and organizations that share our mission of broadening access and diversity of participation in K–12 CS! Read more ➡️ https://t.co/0dEDzslnNx
