You can learn a ton by looking at successful people/business, specially how they became successful. But paying attention to what they've done after that is useless. Their prior success has so much influence that you can't know if [the action] would work otherwise.

Dear non-lawyers: the American Bar Association has no regulatory or discipline powers over lawyers. “Why doesn’t the ABA disbar this lawyer” is like saying “why doesn’t AARP make my grandma give up her car keys.”

2/2 So NFTs will end up like every other market - a power curve that enriched a few early people and some early creators. People will see those use cases as proof it works, but it will fail for the vast majority and be a waste of time and money.

HIPAA is one of the most misunderstood laws. It protects patients from hospitals or insurers sharing your medical info without your permission. But you can choose to share your own info, and employers & businesses are allowed to ask for vaccination status. https://t.co/G6zijHPmNU

Bulldozing through a problem doesn’t mean the problem goes away.
Yeah you are tough but unresolved trauma is unresolved trauma. It will haunt you until it’s processed.
Subjective questions like “Is America a racist nation” are fairly useless. Some say yes, some say no but what they’re actually debating is how much racism is required for it to be a defining trait. Which is like asking how much you need to smile to qualify as cheerful.

When my first novel came out Tor printed up 3700 copies because that's what they expected they would sell in the first year (and if that's all they sold, it would have just about covered the $6500 advance they gave me). So yes, this sounds about right for most years. https://t.co/KrkC2oL4D5

It has a 'product' problem.

Important thread. This is why what happened in Georgia is so important.
