NYC Hotels: There's a cool little restaurant off the lobby where you can have a business breakfast at 7am or get a perfect burger & a beer at 11pm.
SF Hotels: There's a vending machine where you can get some Doritos or a Ho-Ho, but it closes at 6pm.

Finally, while Iʻve got your attention, Iʻd like to tell you my personal secret to a positive Twitter experience - a little-known Twitter add-on called Block Party:
Twitter engineers were asked to print out their last 30 to 60 days of code so that Elon Musk could review it.
Eventually someone realized how bad of an idea it was and they were then told to shred all of the print outs. This is going to be a fun ride. twitter.com/leahculver/sta…
Here is the data organized visually by @LippensLouis.
The lesson is to do structured interviews (every interviewee is asked the same questions; the focus is on examples of past experiences or proposed scenarios; questions are followed-up; & interviewers use scorecards to rate)
What does work:
🗣Structured job interviews (with standardized questions)
✅Job knowledge tests
🕦Past key events in someone’s life
⚒️Work samples
