Rereading this was of text, I am always interested in how I can tie together notes from one meetings to quickly think - who was that vendor that does XYZ, they should acquire this other vendor. My only solutions would rely on NLP or more or

For the one year of college I did it, taking notes on a yellow note pass during class, then copying and cleaning those notes into a dedicated spiral for that class made a huge difference. Every test was easy and I was a superhero. Then I go

I was just thinking about this- pair that with a iPad that sits on refrigerator and shows your grocery list and family calendar. Then it blocks your smart tv from sending data out and allows family to keep organized. Does 3 things very well

This guy wrote a book 30 years ago saying his real father was a loser and a neighbor (his rich dad) was a winner for turning him on to real estate investing. Now we have to hear his chicken little investing advice every 6 months.

We don’t know that. The Fed has been saying since 2021 they were going to raise rates. Thousands of people who get paid billions of dollars mostly missed it. Powell is either going to go down in history as someone who successfully transitio

I don’t understand your argument. A guy who got his PhD 7 years after the GFC should have foreseen the impact of low interest rates. He is making a very rational argument that interest rates are rising and the share of corporate profits ava

This looks really great. I can imagine adding some features around the explanations from an educational standpoint. You could go from never having done this to understanding a lot more of the ins and outs of ML very quickly. Kudos

There are 4 news organizations saying the same thing. A lot of great reasons on here why they would be interested - robotics expertise, great business that has struggle recently, etc. I think another big reason is putting it at the top of a

Opening up the API on wearables is going to be the real change in digital health. The last 2 years was a flood of poor investments. Natural Cycles is a digital/non-hormonal birth control that will be awesome

I find it hard to believe they should be worth more than Twilio. They get a cut of revenue but they are still developer focused, which limits ultimate upside. It is about making developers lives easier not about building a network that scal

The SEC has been saying for months they were taking a harder look here. Just reading the writing on the wall. All the companies that have gone public via SPAC have not done well, not sure who would go public that way - I imagine no one will

I think about this a lot. There is a need for more data-driven applications to create graphics that are more “track able” than excel. I have a series of charts that need to be sent out to multiple people (internal and external) each week. C
