Be A Great Product Leader – Amplify 2019

RT @binance: Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified. The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far. Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete. As an immediate precaution, Binance has: - temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed; - revoked the affected address authorisation; - engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds. Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice. Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

RT @PhilWMagness: 🧵on the AI audit of Saez and Zucman and by implication Piketty (or PSZ together): Since some are objecting to what the computer found, here's a list of biases in this trio's work that were found by humans over the last decade.

RT @schrep: Touring factories & labs is one of my favorite parts of this job. I could spend all day asking questions. This time we brought cameras. Field Trips starts with @RhodaAI, @ArborEnergyCo & @harbingermotors:

RT @apoorva_mehta: Tony and I have explored bringing Instacart and DoorDash together on and off over the years. We kept coming back to it because the industrial logic has always been clear. Customers have 21 meals a week to figure out. Groceries and restaurant delivery each solve part of that problem. Serving customers well means bringing together the best of both. As the biggest companies in the world move deeper into this market, retailers and restaurants need the technology and service to compete. They shouldn’t have to become technology companies themselves to stand a chance. Bringing Instacart and DoorDash together can give them a stronger partner in that fight. For shoppers and Dashers, the opportunity is equally straightforward: less time waiting between orders, more time earning. I’m incredibly proud of what we built at Instacart and grateful to everyone who helped make it possible. Tony is an extraordinary entrepreneur and leader. I’m excited for Instacart to be part of a founder-led company again, and I can’t wait to see what these two teams build together. @t_xu @DoorDash @Instacart

RT @rastokke: "during the last school year, a council of educators at both Palo Alto high schools rejected the [advanced math] course, arguing it would serve few students and set back equity and students’ well-being" Right, math is harmful. Come on! What are we doing? “If teaching math can harm students, then we have a lot bigger issues to talk about than whether to offer this course,” Nguyen told the Chronicle. Indeed. Brian Conrad, a Stanford mathematician, told the Chronicle that he felt math was treated as a “punching bag” for equity and mental health concerns. “The school doesn’t cut sports teams simply because some kids are far more talented at sports,” he said. “Why is it that the teaching of math generates much more controversy than other subjects?”

RT @MarkSwan_: We've raised a $70,000,000 Series B, led by @eqtventures, bringing our total funding to $110 million in just two years. At @neviswealth we believe financial advice will always be human-led. But advisors spend far too much time on administrative work, held back by outdated and fragmented technology. Nevis brings CRM, meeting intelligence, financial planning and custodial workflows into one AI platform. Our agents execute work end-to-end, enabling advisors to serve more clients, deliver more services and grow faster. The past 12 months have been extraordinary: - Revenue has grown more than 25x. - We've partnered with 10+ leading RIAs, including Focus Financial Partners, IEQ Capital and United Capital. - Assets on Nevis have grown from $50B to over $700B, adding $50B every month. - Our AI agents have completed over 100,000 operational tasks. Advisors using Nevis are already reclaiming up to 10 hours a week and taking 30% more prospect meetings. Our ambition is to make every financial advisor a super advisor, equipped to serve more clients, deliver more personalized advice and build businesses at an entirely new scale. This funding will allow us to grow our team, accelerate product development and build new products across the wealth management technology stack. I'm also excited to welcome two new investors, @CharlesSchwab and Quantum Light. Schwab's strategic investment will deepen our partnership and unlock more AI-powered workflows for the 16,000+ independent RIAs they serve. QuantumLight is the venture capital firm founded by Revolut founder and CEO Nik Storonsky. Every one of our existing investors, including @sequoia , @ICONIQCapital and @RibbitCapital, has also doubled down. To our customers, investors and above all our team, thank you for your trust, ambition and relentless execution. We're building the foundational AI platform for wealth management. And we're just getting started. Read more here:

RT @Stealth40k: Shigeru Miyamoto revealed what he considers to be the most intriguing aspect of the first Super Mario Bros. game: "And the biggest invention, or rather, the most intriguing aspect of Super Mario, is that Mario doesn't actually fight Bowser. Normally, if there's a boss at the end, you have to fight him, right? But creating a battle is difficult, and we were really struggling with how to do it. When I thought, 'I can't create a battle like this,' I realized that since it's a game where you keep running to the right, how about making it so that the person who reaches the far right wins? Then I had a brilliant idea: 'Why not just jump over the opponent instead of fighting?' All you have to do is jump over Bowser, and he'll fall. I found it surprisingly fun when I tried it, and I was really happy when I realized that."
