@jozacks Not so much with Transistor; but with other SaaS companies I’ve worked with, yes.

🎯

@tylertringas Yes! That's pretty good.

The only problem is that there's a sliding scale of what "want" means.

I might want to get fit, but not have the motivation to go to the gym.

I might want a good DSLR (and buy it!) but I just end up using my iPhone because it's more practical.

@PierreDeWulf Yes. I agree with you there. 💯

That's different than what I'm talking about: at a core level, it's hard (impossible?) to generate user motivation (a long-lasting desire to use a product consistently).

@DanielZarick @louisnicholls_ Agree with both of these points. Making a larger (meta) point: https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1440369651117006861

@AndyBeard What’s interesting is that motivated people will learn incredibly complicated/unfriendly software (VIM, Photoshop, Pro Tools).

@trevortombe PPC took a lot of votes?

@ianlandsman Whoa! Was that your sale?

That’s big $$$

@earthlingworks I'll take that bet. 💰

@JamesCridland @Podnews Was the audio still up, in an existing feed!? 😮

That’s impressive!

@valsopi As far as “profile recognition technology” goes, these Apes and Lions feel like a regression. 🤪

@OmayraIssa 😔

@staydecent Science doesn’t care about the “cult of the individual.” It doesn’t matter how well-known a doctor is.

What’s great about science is that every claim has to be evaluated and independently replicated, multiple times.

You can’t make a claim based on reputation alone.

@christophrumpel Laracation sounded amazing https://overcast.fm/+eLf1SihTs

@EspreeDevora @shepodcasts 🥰

@Shpigford Probably the same reason that pogs, Beyblades, hockey cards, pokemon cards, and fidget spinners are no longer big (or as in-demand).

Also, I didn’t know about lubricant sheets @heyjoshwood

@raphacaixeta I’m trying to find the good!

I’m increasingly concerned that this revolution isn’t going to deliver on its promises of egalitarianism and security.

@EspreeDevora @MrVincent13 @Zach__Moreno @AlbanBrooke Is it a WAV file? (Or uncompressed in another format?)

You really need to convert it to MP3 first. 👍

750MB is too big and won't work for most folks (especially listeners who download episodes to their device – they'll run out of space!)

@MoonLamboio @APompliano But that’s ridiculous, isn’t it?

You’d expect the official Litecoin account to know what was going on?

You’d expect them to check internally first? “Hey, do we really have a partnership with Walmart?”

@louisnicholls_ @TylerMKing Nice. Hadn't heard of a few of those.

Always nice to see a diverse field of successful founders. 👍

@louisnicholls_ @TylerMKing In one way, you *want* to focus on survivorship bias when studying SaaS.

You're looking for the characteristics of the SaaS that "made it."

If we include "all founders who start a company" the data isn't going to be helpful either (so many reasons for a business not to work)

@TylerMKing @louisnicholls_ Difficult to measure, because you're only looking at successful companies, but my guess is it takes *less* time now.

Look at @tuple, @TransistorFM, @usefathom, @tailwindcss, @carrd.

The world needs software more than ever; stronger market pull today.

@TylerMKing Yup, @TransistorFM was a part-time project.

Jon started working on the code in 2017.
I partnered with him Feb 2018.

I went full-time April 2019.
Jon went full-time July 2019.

@msukmanowsky Wait, isn't it 15x?

@jivebot @Lockedown_ Except, these accounts have millions of followers who believe what they say.

Crypto is increasingly becoming mainstream; there has to be some accountability.

@shaisc Awesome to hear it! 🙏

This has been helpful to me when I'm out with friends at the bar:

@APompliano Pomp, are you *sure* that @litecoin isn't run/sanctioned by @LitecoinProject?

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1437464148070133765

@aarondfrancis @JacobBennett @gonedark @enunomaduro Followed by LaraPoutineCon 🍟🇨🇦

@valsopi 💯

@valsopi It’s good to put that in perspective, but there’s hope there; no?

Electric cars, more public transportation, etc

@valsopi 😍

@webby2001 Whoa. Now you've got more time for...

EDITING! Smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes

@rohunvora @m1guelpf @infura_io @MetaMask @WalletConnect 👀🤔

How is this web3 architecture different/better than traditional web 2.0 architecture?

@mateusjatenee Yup! I've rented an office downtown #vernonbc since I moved here in 2012.

Helped set up this cooperative and now I have a small office in here: http://coworkvernon.com

@Bonini84 @sujanpatel @TransistorFM I think the most underrated platform is everything you've built *before* you start a company (or join a company as an employee).

It's the network, connections, channels, etc. you've built over a lifetime.

@m1guelpf Tryin’ shit out!

@jayacunzo @alexisgrant @businessbarista Yup!

@buildyoursaas - http://SaaS.transistor.fm

@megamaker - http://podcast.megamaker.co

@mikelambpdx Nice!

@EmmettNaughton Aww. That's a great stage! Enjoy it! 🥰

@cgimmer Also, it looks like the people of El Salvador aren’t in favor of this move?

“82.5% of small business respondents do not want to receive remittances in Bitcoin, mainly because its price is so volatile and unpredictable.”

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-58438525

@cathyraffaele @gbadeadewole 💯

@jhong @hnshah @SamuelHulick @DezBryant That’s not universally true.

We can see the benefits of forethought in urban design:

“The significance of urban planning is demonstrated every day; the streets of NYC are the product of its 1811 grid city plan, its 1860s Olmsted park plan, and its 1916 skyscraper zoning laws.”

@ianlandsman Not committees; real science. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1432068592246444035

@ianlandsman That's not what I'm hearing from folks like @balajis:

"Bitcoin is the most important cryptocurrency. It's digital gold. It's the main event."

@m1guelpf @levelsio That's intriguing!

How would that work? (In practice?)

@ianlandsman I'm (understandably?) hesitant to move to "whole new paradigm for world finance" when we still don't have evidence that are more efficient model is possible.

(I definitely can't grok everything on Stanford's "Analysis of Knowledge" piece; but this section on truth seems like an important distinction to keep in mind)

@earthlingworks Don't you think there are other factors beyond work and luck?

@earthlingworks These options feel too binary, and denotes a spectrum where "hard work" is on one side, and "luck" is on the other.

"Hard work" as a blunt measurement isn't nuanced enough. (Coal miners work harder than I ever will)

Lots of other vars: knowledge, experience, frequency/exposure

@pbmarcano Before we commit to a wholesale, worldwide shift to our economic system, we should ensure we're not committing ourselves untenable energy demands (climate-wise).

Using greener energy sources for crypto also suffers from the "induced demand" problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_demand

@Shpigford @earthlingworks @mariordev @valsopi Is it "100% subjective?"

In North America, the definition of success seems to coalesce around a few common elements:

freedom, purpose, financial margin, etc...

@mariordev @earthlingworks @valsopi I think "working smart" misses an important nuance:

In business, no matter how "hard" or "smart" you work, it's the momentum in a given market that will ultimately determine your trajectory.

Recognizing the pull of a market often means being exposed to/immersed in it.

@earthlingworks @valsopi To me, this excerpt is an example of immersing yourself in practice and principles.

Practice: being in motion, learning intuitively what to do.

Principles: playing the game (business) by its underlying structure/rules (market-driven).

@kirkbyers Yeah; I still haven’t seen that with crypto either.

@JoseCanHelp Who’s that?

And how will they deal with the induced demand problem?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_demand

@SteveSaretsky Isn't that what we're on twitter for? 😉

@ianlandsman Yes. I think @kylefox’s take has been the one that’s moved me the most: https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1433642998122774535

@ow @kylefox Yup. That’s why I went to Kyle in the DMs.

His is take was refreshing:

“Crypto could be big, but that remains to be seen. Either way, we’re probably at the “http://pets.com peak” of the hype cycle. Once this wave crashes, we’ll see what emerges.”

@mattwensing @einarvollset @cdixon I like @kylefox’s analogy here.

This example definitely gives me pause. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1433615007074373634

@terrybmurray @kndwindev But, a wire is basically free these days?

@DanielZarick @shahruz Entirely possible I’m asking the wrong by questions.

If I’m wrong, I’d love to know. 😄

@einarvollset @ianlandsman @cdixon Ok. I dig this example (you're starting to incrementally sway me, haha).

But how come crypto is getting more hype/investment than other emerging tech with potential?

(Quantum computing, large-scale AR/VR, carbon capture, etc.)

@DanielZarick We should jump on a podcast to talk about this. 😄

@mattwensing @einarvollset @cdixon I could see that. My parents definitely didn’t understand my BBS usage. 😆

@einarvollset @cdixon Traditionally, it's govt investment/subsidies that "lead the change."

They invest before there is widespread usage, and help create the infrastructure that facilitates adoption.

(network infrastructure, interstate hwy for cars, subsidies for electric car manufacturers)

@secos 🤣

@KevinHicksSW Interesting! Was the rationale the same?

“It’s just not worth tracking hundreds of small expenses/receipts like this.”

(The writeoffs aren’t worth it)

@dcrouchca Noted.

I’ve since updated the thread. 👍

@jasonlbeggs @aarondfrancis @arvidkahl @TransistorFM @noplanstomerge 🤣

@dcrouchca Ah I see. I think you're misreading my intent.

In Canada/USA, there is a lot of opposition to vaccine passports (or corona passes).

Denmark was one of the first to implement one; so I'm showing their progress so far.

(I don't necessarily agree with them lifting restrictions)

A few clarifications:

* 80% of *residents over age 12* have been vaccinated in Denmark
* Their corona passport covers vaccination, but also folks who have "recently tested negative for, or have previously been infected with COVID-19."

https://en.coronasmitte.dk/corona-passport

@dcrouchca What's misinformation here?

@mapdev @calebporzio i'll start the gofundme

@EricVBailey It wasn't just the people I was hanging out with (although, that certainly had an effect!).

It was also:
- Listening to podcasts
- Reading books that challenged my POV
- Having live experiences that made me realize my foundation was wrong.
- Getting challenged on Reddit 😆

@takeitev 🎯

@earthlingworks @coreyhainesco In the podcasting industry, I rarely see retargeting ads (even though I regularly visit other companies' websites).

@earthlingworks @coreyhainesco @trainual @lkr @robwalling Ruben, are you still doing retargeting ads? Or nah?

https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/681895989662334976

@VerbotenPM @Podchaser @TransistorFM Thanks for recommending us Jeff! 🥰

@KostjaPalovic Do you type in the brand that you're leaving?

@ianlandsman This is new

@jsorge I wrote about that here:

https://justinjackson.ca/build

@satvikpendem Yup.

One of the most important questions you can ask is:

“How are you solving this problem currently? What other altervatives have you considered?"

@davestuartjr @sramartinsensei @DallasAWillard 👋

@robmerki Nice 💯

@_rchase_ @getRewardful @usefathom It’s not just campaign clicks, Rewardful sets a 60-day cookie window.

Multi-source (multi-step) attribution is incredibly difficult to get right. In fact, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen it done well.

@DCoulbourne @TightenCo I know Merlin says "don't be weird" but I can't help it...

(Currently staring at you through that window)

@AlexNapierNomad that's a rolling fund I can get behind. 👍

@DCoulbourne @TightenCo Nice mug, but I'm also peeping on some cool mid-century vibes I'm seeing behind you. 👍

@thejonotron In fact, @jsonperl, @jonbuda, @HelenRyles and I are discussing a world tour right now. 🌊

@JackEllis Absolutely. No rules!

@MarcusRideout Out in Stony Plain now. Here until Thurs visiting the fam. 🥰

@adampatterson Yeah. Partly escaping the smoke. 😞

My sister and her kids were supposed to visit us in Vernon, but plans changed, so we came here instead.

@ckneumann Haha, amazing!

I read a similar book when I was a kid!

@dchymko @CBCEdmonton Well done Daryl!

@thugic We still use those in HTML for email! 🤣

@DeridianN Nice! 🙌
