1 year ago I made a life goal to win a Triple Draw WSOP bracelet. With scarce training material + limited time to log hands, I did what any good computer nerd would do:
Read math papers, wrote code, and had my computer simulate billions/trillions of hands for me.

🤯 The origin/making of the Seinfeld theme.
So much to unpack here...
First: This dude.
Second: He re-recorded it for every single episode
Third: the bpm set to Jerry’s timing?
Fourth: it wasn’t a real bass?!

First time back in Santa Monica since the SF scooter ban. Re-validated my belief that:
- scooters are the future of last mile(s) urban travel
- despite the “annoyingness” of the scoot clutter, a modern city will make it work
- protected bike lanes save lives
- SF dropped the ball

each company deals with this situation differently, but one might be much better off (financially) quitting and literally rejoining the next day. a reminder that a stock needs to do *100%* gain to recover from a 50% drop. its literally gambling and hope.

Considerations
Employers:
- let your employees early exercise
- allow a longer exercise window post departure
- switch to RSUs
Employees:
- understand AMT (your responsibility)
- consider taking RSUs
- your golden handcuffs is a form-3921
- a jetski is never a good purchase

This is absolutely nuts. Completely justified, necessary, and seemingly extremely well coordinated/executed, but still nuts. Also why any idea that international travel will return to “normal” in 2020 is so wrong.
I’ve landed in Hong Kong after flying from Paris CDG, via London Heathrow. I now have to wait ~8 hours before I get my
