At #launchhack on day two. You guys, there isn't enough coffee. I don't mean here; I mean in the world. Hack me more coffee please.
@michaelbyrne In this case, I'm just advocating for non-racist, inclusive politics, rather than a specific candidate.
@mathowie I hope you're right, and, pacified at the thought, I will return to my coffee.
@mathowie I'm 100% with you on this. It's immensely frustrating. But surely there's some common ground somewhere ...
Trump's brand of nationalism is a threat to America and the world. We have to help those supporters see it - and give them something better.
In software, we often talk about needs finding and building empathy. Could the way to sway Trump supporters be to listen to them?
As awful as he is, a huge portion of America clearly feels that Donald Trumo speaks for them. Talking down to them might not help.

A billboard on the Bay Bridge says "Fire your boss! Run your own insurance agency!" Briefly, I wondered if that would be better than tech.
Imagine if your audience could interact with you through an intelligent agent - 1-1 conversations that scale. http://knownbot.com #bots
@ericnakagawa Yes. I think being a New York Times bestselling author is still a huge deal - and very different to this.
@samplereality Interesting because both Telegram and WhatsApp have strong APIs for bots. Not so much in the US (until Facebook in April).
@samplereality @DavidsonCollege Do they use Telegram? Hearing that a lot from foreign students, but not sure I've seen much of it in the US.
Mailchimp, Typeform and Slack have awesome, friendly, sometimes genuinely hilarious voices. What other B2B companies do this well?
