@zeldapoem Ohhhh so this is the unnamed leader. That’s awesome. No better feeling than him peeling back a fence for you to sneak into somewhere wild

Really? So many odd assumptions, like that the startup market is zero sum. New widespread tactics don’t just raise the standard in competitive spaces. They help founders unlock net new spaces. And more companies being founded as “founder” becomes a prestigious title means succcess rate may be lower amongst people who shouldn’t have been a founder, and higher for legit founders applying the tactics.

Pretending you want to acquire a company to steal ideas isn't just lame. You are giving that founder the revenge motive / super villain origin story that's makes them grind like hell to destroy you. And you deserve it.

@JoshConstine The problem is not that it's illegal, it's people being offended by "they want a woman without kids"

We’ve reached a point where political correctness matters more than being honest about what a job actually requires. It’s ridiculous. I’d hire for the exact same criteria, especially the polemical ones. For a community role, of course I’d want a woman in her 30s without kids. Because that’s what works. Women get more attention, build stronger relationships, are more caring. In your 30s, you have the credibility to host, people trust you, respect you, and engage differently than with someone too junior. And yes, no kids. Most events happen at night, availability is part of the job. Parents, and especially mothers, have that time locked with their kids. That’s reality, not discrimination. And somehow saying this out loud makes you the asshole? Please.

“Is a woman (ideally between 25 - 33 years old) and doesn't have children” 🤨🤨🤨🤨🧐🧐🧐

@JoshConstine @mat It's actually the exact same article! Wired just removed /gadgetlab/ from the URL that's why its going to a 404. Confirmed via Wayback Machine:

@gao_zibo @tbpn This was kind of TechCrunch’s The Crunchy awards, a gala at the symphony hall in SF. Eventually we realized *unimaginable wealth* was a sufficient prize. But the second half of your list would be fun

@JoannaStern @NBCNews Love the brand and vibe. Tech has gone from underdog to overdog to just the dog in everyone’s house, but it’s still too often covered as a business or via reviews rather than its cultural and philosophical impact. Can’t wait to read

@JoshConstine @DominicJPino @PostOpinions That graph is deceptive, it is "indexed" but not inflation adjusted, the chart is not dollar amounts BART has a cost per passenger mile of $1.15. Waymo's subsidized costs are more than double that.

The Bay Area Rapid Transit system's labor costs rose by $150 million between 2019 and 2024. It used all that extra money to complete 73 million fewer trips. @PostOpinions looks at the financial death spiral of public transit in the Bay Area. 🧵
