@andrew__reed Crossable

Working on a product. It adjusts the team page of the VC website to make sure everyone has their arms crossed

Tempo will be at Money 2020 Europe in Amsterdam next week. Send me a DM if you want to meet.

Me: I think I’ll go to the World Cup finals StubHub: tickets in lower bowl are going for $74k each Guess I will watch it on TV

Chatted Tempo and stablecoins with @fishkiller and then they translated it into Chinese. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/web…

@mikedemarais Nope

@dwr did you just listen to that live players episode?

TIL A Zoom call between Earth and the Moon would have a 3-second delay. A Zoom call between Earth and Mars would have a delay of between 6 and 40 minutes (depending on orbits).

Any Stripe merchant can now turn on MPP with a single prompt.

@jrichlive > A study from Harvard Business School and others estimated that the drop in sales caused by Los Angeles’s new tax will offset 80% of the money it raises by reducing property-tax revenue. lmao

CA housing in a nutshell: - Housing a major issue. - City passes new tax to "help." - Tax makes new development economically unviable. - Amount of housing built declines. - Supporters of tax shocked. - New movement to repeal tax. wsj.com/economy/housin…

@p_millerd Still genuinely surprised there’s not some hot new consumer app

@dwr I think they are launching in small grouch chats to fellow friends instead 😂

Given AI coding capabilities, expected there to be more consumer mobile apps by now, a la early 2010s / TechCrunch story about a new app every day

Doesn’t scale beyond price insensitive early adopters but acts as a bridge to get the initial ~1 million people using it. Or Apple changes iCloud TOS?

I wonder if the forthcoming OAI hardware device will pair with a cloud-based Mac Mini running a claw. Log in with iCloud and get full access to iMessage and ability to run iOS apps on macOS. Solves the blue bubble problem.

Excited to be working with MoneyGram. 500,000 physical locations in 100+ countries that are wired up to stablecoins.

@signulll New OS means new hardware / ecosystem. Dubious you would get enough consumers to switch before Apple / Google get good enough.

@dwr yeah having os access would be great but i do think this can spawn a new os too.

@signulll Apple and Google are the only ones with easy access to consumers’ data

@signulll Without a Mac Mini running, most consumer data is not available to 3rd party apps. Apple and Google have privileged access because of OS (and a lot of important data is in the default services like iMessage and Photos)

@dwr most data is available to startups now, just a matter of how well of a story they can tell to convince ppl to give them access. gen z dont' give a shit about giving data access either.

@signulll It will happen at OS level, not an app

@dwr yeah true, but i do think this will take some creativity to get right. i don't think stuffing it into gemini app is the right answer, it's an intermediate step.
