529s are no longer exclusively for education. Now they can be used to give your child a jumpstart on retirement. But the new 529 to Roth rules are far from a “hack”. Here’s what you need to know:

Ok this clip about navigating the American Healthcare System from the recent South Park ozempic special (which was brilliant) needs to be the opening of every healthcare conference panel

There's a big difference between OpenAI and Google: — OpenAI ships useful stuff. For example, the GPT-4o model is incredibly fast and 50% cheaper, and the voice improvement is incredible. It's widely available. — Google announces stuff that looks great in I/O presentations but isn't really useable or even released in many cases. It's mostly vaporware. It's fantastic to see a company with real potential to disrupt Google.

I had the honor of talking to @NeriOxman a few months ago. She is one of the most brilliant, innovative, and kind-hearted people I've ever gotten to know. What Business Insider is doing is a disgrace to journalism, and harms humanity... we should celebrate amazing scientists, engineers, and innovators like Neri. I'm posting our conversation here on X so you can hear for yourself. See other platforms for when it was originally posted.

While it is trivial to enter the United States illegally, it is insanely difficult for legal immigrants to move to the United States. This is madness! We should shut down illegal immigration and greatly increase legal immigration.
This chart should make you go insane. This is the number of high skilled workers that want to work here. There is a cap at 85,000 slots that will be filled. We are actively shooting our future selves in the foot.

THE MATRIX was released 24 years ago today. One of the most iconic and groundbreaking movies of its generation, the making of story is a fascinating one. A THREAD 1/25

In the early 1990s a stonemason secretly carved a Xenomorph from the Alien films onto a 700 year old church in Scotland during restoration work. But it's not out of place. Because Medieval gargoyles were even stranger (and funnier) than this...

1/ I have seen a ton of misinformation being spread on Twitter and in the news about the FTX event so let me debunk the three most common things I’ve seen “Bahamian officials are behind the FTX hack” “Exchanges know who the hacker is” “FTX hacker is trading meme coins”

I was the first VC to try to invest in SBF, 4 years ago, well before FTX had even launched. I shared some of my story with CNBC, but there is more - a lot more. Here's what I learned, and why I passed on investing based on suspicion of deception and reckless risk-taking.

Twitter has broken just about every piece of this FTX story using blockchain analytics, while NYT is writing puff pieces on a criminal. Feels like a turning point for citizen journalism and loss of trust in MSM.

The Definitive Thread on FTX I met SBF before FTX started, and witnessed their rise and fall. I can't stand @nytimes's puff piece. If anyone wants to know what happened, send them this.

Disgusting complicity on the part of the New York Times. He has ruined countless people's lives by theft and fraud, and NYT is now helping him to delay or evade justice by whitewashing him in their prestigious, influential newspaper. I doubt this is just a mistake on their part.
Disgraceful reporting by the @nytimes on FTX. It portrays SBF as a charitable entrepreneur who went under and does not mention the words fraud, criminal, substance abuse, friends & family Bahamas KYC racket, hack, stolen funds or wiped servers anywhere. archive.ph/mxOh5

Finally, I’ve been lucky enough to create #lenoxeats and grow the F&B industry in #lenox MA. I couldn't be more proud of that team. On average 1000+ people daily dine in one of our restaurants. I know first hand the happiness dining out brings.

#BTC is down -40% since the Death Cross occurred in early Jan '22 History suggests that whenever a Death Cross occurs, #Bitcoin experiences deeper downside Now that one has occurred, what could we potentially expect? Here's a thread with my analysis about the $BTC Death Cross:
