those of you who never worked in tech during zirp will never understand this era. $5 ubers, $3 door dash lunches, enough scooters you could(and did) fill the bay. we were living like those post war boomers in million dollar homes paying $30 in property taxes. you could demand that your ceo opine on politics in #general and would go on strike if he forced you to work. you couldn’t walk down south park without tripping on a term sheet. we had so much money we were printing code on paper and sticking it in a vacuum sealed rocket launcher into space just for kicks. one click checkout was enough of an idea to burn $10m a month, wework was buying wave pools, you could buy mattresses at a loss, you could get a juice packet squeezer for $700. the zuck was surfing every day in hawaii.

Someone at Oakland DOT forgot to pay for the QR codes they use for parking payment.

i would call it... tupperware problem.

how to strangermaxx: > stay at events 10-15 min longer than you want to - push through the initial discomfort > pick one new social challenge per week that feels a little more daring than usual! > talk to a stranger in line, do something alone, strike up a convo at an event - start small > it will be like growing a muscle so get your reps in > remember people are WAY less focused on you than you think. they're in their own heads too > have the audacity to believe that people ARE curious about you. they WANT to hear from you!! > get off your phone & open up your body language > smile, make eye contact, and practice 5 seconds of courage > not every interaction will click and that's fine - you're practicing!! > you'll see how people are EXCITED to talk to you & strangers aren't as scary as they seem!! there's a whole world out there for you filled with wonderful conversations, laughter, and kindness with strangers lean in!!! have fun!!!

@HenryGreenstein Thank you for the wonderful reporting

St. John's wins it on a buzzer-beater by Dylan Darling. KU's season is over with a 67-65 loss.

the kids aren’t wearing kandi anymore. they’re wearing Alix Earle™️

@HenryGreenstein You’re welcome. Looking forward to dinner soon, maybe sammies

@3raxton Good one Braxton thank you

No Samis today, should that become relevant

some guy out there is making ai fruits cheat on eachother and earning more than us

> you open a website > it says: "click all the traffic lights" > it takes you 10 seconds > 200 million people do this every day > you weren't passing a security check > you were labeling training data for a self-driving car > google acquires recaptcha in 2009 > deploys it on every bank, store, and government site on earth > turns the entire internet into an unpaid AI annotation factory > waymo is now worth $45 billion > you didn't pass the test. you built it.

[in the waymo] So uhhh how long have you been driving for google

"I'm thinking about opening a bakery" "What will you sell?" "Croissants" "Croissants? lol that already exists. dumb" Just kidding. No one outside of tech talks like that

travel. travel. travel. i've never once regretted spending money on travel. it always pays off in growth, perspective, and memories. You meet people you never would’ve met, learn things no classroom could teach, and see how big and beautiful the world really is. money comes back. experiences don't and the stories you bring home are worth more than anything you left behind.

You're a fucking artissssst. Just creeeaaaate. Write the fuuuuucking book. Make the fuuuuuucking music. Create the fuuuuuucking poetry. Paint the fuuuuuucking canvas. Build the fuuuuuucking brand. Pleaaaase.

Learned about something called a "glimmer" recently. It's the opposite of a trigger. A tiny moment that makes you feel good. Coffee hitting right. Sun on your face. Your dog losing its mind when you walk in the door. Most of us are trained to scan for threats all day. Flip that. Start scanning for glimmers. Same exact life starts feeling completely different.

dude computers are actually so fucking insane when you really think about it. we literally figured out how to write some fake-ass rules called code and somehow convinced rocks to follow them. like actual rocks. sand, melted, purified, carved into tiny pathways where electricity just flows in patterns. that’s it. that’s the whole magic. and yet from that we get operating systems, compilers, kernels, networks, distributed systems, machine learning models, entire virtual worlds running inside other virtual worlds. billions of tiny electrical decisions per second, all because we defined some abstract logic. humans basically invented a language of instructions and taught matter itself to execute it.

BRING BACK HANGS!!! remove the barrier to hanging out: > "dropping by" someone's home > cozy movie nights with pals > meeting your neighbors > working out of coffee shops > recurring weekly traditions > random phone calls to friends integrate COMMUNITY into your week!!
