Smart people know what they can and cannot control
If you're living in the past, you're nostalgic
If you're living in the future, you're anxious
If you're living in the present, you're at peace
Life is crazy. Today is a good day to stop and reflect
10 simple questions that CHANGED my life
(startup life, personal life)
Here they are:
Smart people know what they can and cannot control
If you're living in the past, you're nostalgic
If you're living in the future, you're anxious
If you're living in the present, you're at peace
Starting every day with a victory sets you up to win
I don't care what it is:
- Make your bed
- Make a wonderful coffee
- Hug your wife or children
No such thing as a small win. It's a win!
You'll win more, if you start winning early

1. Money
2. Freedom
3. Stability
4. Ability
The world rewards those who are focused
Perfectly prioritize
Remember:
1. Reacting is emotional
2. Responding is rational
My most terrible mistakes are when I act emotionally. True in both my startup and personal life
Act rational (especially on the internet)
90% of the time: how you say it matter more than what you say
The art of the disagreement is underrated
Disagreement breeds productive conversations
No disagreement, no growth
Don't focus on building success, focus on earning trust
Trust is the rarest commodity on earth
If you can earn trust, you can build anything
Every game has rules. Startup game, crypto game or school game
Success is 40% talent and 60% understanding how to beat the game.
Key: don’t hate the player, know the rules
People are busy
When you want something from someone, just say it
Beating around the bush is a sin
- "When you’re 20 you care what everyone thinks
- When you’re 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks
- When you’re 60 you realize no one was thinking about you in the first place." - Reddit
Seeking the truth is courageous
Validating your beliefs is easy
Good learning is slow
And it's your ticket to a new job, raising capital, product market fit or startup success
Good learning sticks around longer
Point: learn slow to learn well
I hope something your childhood self would be proud of
Explain this to me in one sentence

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.
https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d
Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇
It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha
I've read it so you needn't!
Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.
The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.
Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
