In the past three years, more kids have been killed in school shootings in our country than American military troops have been killed in combat over the same time period.
Young military hopefuls are willing to go to war for their country.
Instead, many are losing their lives in school shootings bit.ly/2HdZEBo
While Derby weekend is my favorite weekend in Kentucky, I'm always reminded of the "decadent and depraved" and how hard it can be to tell the difference at the Downs... youtube.com/watch?v=Tue1dFiA…

Government: You owe us money. It’s called taxes.
Me: How much do I owe?
Gov’t: You have to figure that out.
Me: I just pay what I want?
Gov’t: Oh, no we know exactly how much you owe. But you have to guess that number too.
Me: What if I get it wrong?
Gov’t: You go to prison
Incredibly sad - embarrassed to say I simply road past two weeks ago while in Paris on business. I figured I had seen it before, and I could always just go back. A reminder to treasure the things that can't be replaced.
@SouthwestAir i've been trying to find information on your decision not to ground the 737-Max aircraft-Specifically, how you've confirmed there are no potential bugs in the MCAS, and what procedures you have in place in training pilots on the aircraft that other airlines may not.
for reference: engadget.com/2019/03/12/boei…
@southwest can you confirm?
Just to close out this thread since @SouthwestAir twitter crew doesn't appear to be in a place to respond.. cnn.com/world/live-news/boei…
A tool i've been using to eval companies who claim they are building an "AI for XYZ" - as a relatively non-technical (no formal engineering background) investor, I find it a helpful litmus test. If company the isn't rung 4 or higher, I pass. hackernoon.com/the-ai-hierar… – at Louisville, KY
Surprisingly (or maybe not) lots of founders are caught on rung one, selling themselves as though they have an AI. #buyerbeware – at Louisville, KY
Now I’m left to wonder if @Google @googlefiber will come fix our destroyed roads and yards? #disaster techcrunch.com/2019/02/07/go…

Silicon photonics for the rest of us - a great article that explains what Ayar Labs is up to - and "TeraPHY" might be one of the most appropriate product names i've ever heard. #siliconphotonics #deeptech #blueskycapital lnkd.in/e6HsGwp
Some people you meet in life you just can't wait to work with, for, or near. @sunilnagaraj is of this class. Congrats on the official @ubiquityvc launch! Onward! techcrunch.com/2019/01/23/a-…
