Happy Monday again! I hope you had a great weekend, I sure did, embracing my new Premier League obsession…
A bit of inspiration:
It were but madness now to impart
The skill of specular stone,
When he, which can have learn’d the art
To cut it, can find none.
—A verse from ”The Undertaking” by John Donne
A few thoughts on stuff:
I don’t think the concept of “evaluating character“ is a good way to put this, or so strictly accurate, but I found this pointing in a somewhat good direction:
A person’s choice of a spouse—or if they aren’t married, their closest lifelong partner—is much more revealing than anything they say or do in public.
The way it was put in Farnam Street sounded like you could read a person’s whole psyche through it, and I just think that’s an unnecessary exaggeration…
Also, people are not static, those around them change, so it’s pretty dangerous to think you can tell these deepest secrets about them by one person in their life right now…
Oh yea and good job for Zuckerberg getting out of the news more recently ahah
I guess people got tired of laughing at the Metaverse.
Less Netflix, more chilling:
Reed Hastings is ramping his role at Netflix down a notch after a fruitful tenure at the company. His journey is one of the very inspirational stories of a founder who broke truly new ground.
And here’s SBF being bitter:
I’m glad Mr.Ray is finally paying lip service to turning the exchange back on after months of squashing such efforts!
I guess the act is still on…
I figure if you want to keep your reputation within and outside the company, maybe you should try being a bit friendlier? Idk man
Also, John J Ray III is just such an unnecessarily pretentious name though ahahah what a 180 character switch for a CEO at the company
IG Feature Update:
phew this one isn’t just a straight-up ctrl-v ctrl-c
Apparently Instagram has launched “quiet mode,“ which allows you to disable incoming notifications and update your activity status to indicate you’re offline…
oooo I think this will be very useful for me, literally just been having issues with communicating this.
I found this funny:
[Andreessen] hasn’t had much luck placing bets on journalists at all. (Maybe this is why he blocks so many of us—me included—on Twitter.)
That’s all my tidbits for today! And sadly nothing new from Max or Matt ahah
Until next time.
With love,
Angeline
