LOLLL the ceo of Delta doing everything possible to not call the virus the "delta variant".

I said this on the pod the other day.. how much would Delta pay to not have this virus named "Delta"? What is that worth in brand value?

Delta's market cap is $25B, so I thought $1B (4%) would be worth it. Maybe $2B if they could rename it "southwest". Although it looks like Corona Beer sales have only gone up since the pandemic..so maybe there isn't a brand problem after all..

Tim Urban @waitbutwhy A batter who averages 4 hits every 20 at-bats is out of a job. One who averages 5/20 is mediocre. 6/20, an all-star. 7/20, the league MVP. There's probably some area of your life you're going 4/20 and feel hopeless. But upping your game just a little might change everything. May 30th 2021 534 Retweets 4,285 Likes

A little motivation. remember, the difference between failure & success is often just a small tweak away.

Rex Woodbury @rex_woodbury Spotify launched in the US 10 years ago this month. Here's my best take at how economics flow from a $9.99 monthly subscription. Three takeaways: 1) Spotify only keeps ~33%, 2) Artists and songwriters don't get much, 3) Music is really, really complicated. pic.twitter.com/9ZVTuCTXJm July 21st 2021 130 Retweets 647 Likes

Love this breakdown of how the $$$ flows in the music industry. What happens when I subscribe to spotify and start playing songs? How much of that revenue flows through to artists (spoiler - not much. 8%)

Lets say you're a startup and you need a developer. You don't have the time or money to do it yourself, so you have two choices:

a) hire an expensive agency

b) find a freelancer on Upwork.

But what if there was a third option?

and what if hiring developers was as easy as ordering from UberEats?

GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg The billion dollar Google Chrome extension club: - Loom - Honey - Grammarly These companies started as Chrome Extensions and created billions of value Here's why it works: August 20th 2021 376 Retweets 3,185 Likes

Chrome extensions are criminally underrated. Simple to build, sticky for users, and can provide a ton of value by sitting on top of 5+ hours a day of internet browsing. Pretty cool to see some of these products that started as chrome extensions become $1B+ businesses. More will come.
