.@gokulr is one of the most prolific product builders and investors of the last 20 years. He helped build the core ads and product businesses at Google, Facebook, Square, and DoorDash, working directly with many of this generation's best founders and CEOs. He's also invested in more than 700 companies giving him an unusually broad view into how products are built and scaled. Gokul has an incredible ability to give precise and prescriptive advice on how to build products, particularly in AI, and he explains his thinking so clearly that you come away knowing exactly how to apply it. We talk about why judgment is the only thing he believes is truly AI-proof, why Zendesk and Slack are more exposed than Salesforce and NetSuite, and what AI-native startups must do to move customers and their data off legacy systems. We cover everything he's learned from building the most important ads businesses, including the only three ways an ad business can make money, and why ChatGPT may be even more powerful than Google or Facebook for highly targeted ads. He also shares inside stories from Larry and Sergey, Zuck, Jack Dorsey, and Tony Xu, about how each of them approaches product, design, and communication. Enjoy!

This is indefensible. The victim’s legally owned handgun was removed from the scene, and then ICE agents shot him multiple times. It’s far from law enforcement — it’s just murder. Those who defend this don’t care about law or order. It’s about money, power, and protecting an executive branch that’s already been bought and paid for.
OSINTdefender@sentdefender

Third angle of today’s shooting of a 37-year-old male by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, clearly shows one of the agents running away from the scuffle before the shooting carrying the victim's handgun, a Sig P320.

New YC homepage design just launched! 👀 The last few years have been a return to our roots at YC, so we wanted to capture that with our new site, and show what it's really like to go through the batch. There's also a bunch of fun easter eggs throughout – thread below!

@EconstratPB I don’t know I think this kind of is a “moonshot” you’d be surprised how just staring with something small can be a huge catalyst for folks. This is definitely an experiment for us all the observe the results.

This is the dumbest shit. $250 compounded at 10% for 20yrs is $1681. Assuming no one fucks anything up. 😂 Invest $6.25B into early childhood nutrition or early literacy will blow away that kind of return by a moonshot.
Michael Dell 🇺🇸@MichaelDell

$6.25 billion. 25 million children. $250 each. Susan and I believe the smartest investment we can make is in children. That’s why we’re so excited to contribute $6.25 billion from our charitable funds to help 25 million children start building a strong financial foundation through Invest America. 💪📈🇺🇸 onedell.com/investamerica/

I kind of miss the days when being a founder was a fringe thing. It’s great how much is accessible now, especially capital but ideas weren’t as cheap back then.

There are approximately 5000 real estate agents in San Francisco Of those, 1503 have closed at least one transaction representing the buyer this year Here are the top 50 real estate buyers agents in San Francisco for the first three quarters of 2025, as measured by sales volume when representing buyers Coming in at number 17 is this guy! Please consider this is a humble (not humble?) advertisement for my services representing buyers purchasing real estate in San Francisco (I also represent sellers, but ~85% buyers at the moment) Buying a home in San Francisco is like being parachuted onto an island of hungry cannibals competing over extremely scarce resources (in this case a home) Consider me your guide for successfully eating your competition! With data and negotiating savvy of course, not literally. Either way, my clients win the deal and achieve extraordinary outcomes. Best, Rohin Dhar, San Francisco real estate agent and cannibal guide🙏

Absolutely no one prepares you for the feeling you get when you come home after work (later than usual), due to an early evening event and your 4-month old daughter catches a glimpse of you and proceeds to have the biggest, giddiest smile on her face. Indescribable.

starting a startup used to be about obsessing over a problem, applying the latest technology, & building a future you wanted to live in unfortunately, too many of you have become cynical you think the ai friend/infinite slop outcome is inevitable it's not. fight back.
