Fact: walking is one of the most effective things you can do to relieve stress.
I think this is worth saving for posterity. Really think this is an important thing to do.
@pmarca @joshuabaer Many are delivery tech as well as content. The two need to be decoupled.
@pmarca @joshuabaer Hypothesis: they're restrained from doing so by legacy broadcast legislation.
@pmarca @joshuabaer I think that's a very interesting problem to solve.

The best kind of dinner: smart people and exciting conversations. Feeling privileged.
Part of the magic of Uber is seeing drivers get hopelessly lost on the way to pick you up.
I'm an atheist, but don't hold a belief in God against anyone. I do begrudge deliberate ignorance & bigotry.
