I admire @ciaomack for finding - and creating - ways to combat the effects of climate change.
Really excited and proud to share that I am now a published first author on climate security research! This is my first paper 😬, built from my master's thesis at Stanford. I was extremely fortunate to have such a great advisor and co-author in Katharine. Summary thread below

There's a lot of Crypto stuff that I don't understand. Okay, most Crypto stuff I don't understand. But for a rube like me, the most compelling promise of Crypto has always been: we can build a better international money movement system. It's coming: @ValoraApp

Many of my favorite themes @ezraklein @anthrowittering: Humans love to work at things that are meaningful to us, we love to share, and we have trouble with the concepts of time and the future, made necessary by agriculture (plus: mushrooms, AI, more!): nytimes.com/2021/06/29/podca…
Thanks to the @PrimaryVC team - what an awesome resource you're building in the NYC Founder Guide lnkd.in/g_tGnYp - and shouts to my friends @jackie_bona @ValoraApp , Sean Hsieh @concreitapp, @martin @ Array, and Tomás Campos @spinwheelio
After successfully building @Betterment into an award-winning startup serving more than half a million people, @jonstein reflects on the importance of mission—plus shares what not to do—in the latest installment of our #fintech series for Founder Guide. nycfounderguide.com/insight/…

This might make more intuitive sense as a substantial difference than many other index selection subtleties; without a quantitative or correlative test of “substantially identical,” values and voting differences feel compelling
Ha! In all seriousness, that would be a really interesting basis to claim a difference. No clue how the IRS would handle that, but I think there's actually reasonable grounds as long as their Form N-PXs aren't also... substantially identical? :)

I must congratulate Betterment CEO @jonstein on his early retirement, even as I apologize for helping cause it (he was an MMM reader 😉) The business world loses a very ethical and effective CEO, but the Stein family gains a lot of husband and Dad time! riabiz.com/a/2020/12/8/jon-s…

Betterment will not stand for the unequal treatment of people of color in our company, in our communities, or in our country. betterment.com/resources/cha…

We as a country and community need not be afraid of challenging the status quo or changing the system if it’s not working for people. We should lean into it. I am. And so is Betterment.

Employees have been invited to pick the initiative or organization of their choice that’s working to combat racial injustice. Betterment will match donations up to $500. Personally, I will be donating to @NAACP_LDF, @ColorofChange, & @eji_org

What an incredible 10 years since launching @Betterment, & we're just getting started. Thank you to our customers—we wouldn't be where we are today without you. Fun fact: I'm not customer #1: @ASchrauth beat me to it. #TheFirstRobo betterment.com/story/
