I get the trust point, but "Detroit produces nothing” isn’t accurate
Michigan produces ~20–25% of U.S. vehicles, exports $80B+ annually, and is a top manufacturing state
It was literally the “Arsenal of Democracy” in WWII
It’s not a VC hub like SF or Singapore, but that’s a different metric, not "nothing"

seoul has free public exercise equipment on every block that nobody steals
meanwhile sf can't keep a single lime scooter intact for 24 hours
the correlation between social trust and startup ecosystem health isn't coincidental
when your city can't maintain basic infrastructure, how do you expect founders to build sustainable companies?
high-trust societies produce better entrepreneurs because they can focus on creating value instead of protecting against theft
this is why singapore churns out unicorns while detroit produces nothing

“When you go from consumer to B2B, the number one mega-challenge that you must master is LTV:CAC.” - @travisk "Yes, you can make that argument on consumer, but when you have a sales funnel that starts with 'I'm going to talk to customers, and I have to make LTV:CAC work' — versus 'My LTV:CAC is the App Store' — it's a whole different ballgame." “LTV:CAC with a sales machine, especially if you go [after] small businesses, is life on hard mode. Anybody who’s crushed it on SMB, those guys are special individuals who've made that happen. Because life in the SMB B2B world is no joke."

The four players on the ice when the USA scored to win the Gold Medal:
Jack Hughes - Canton, MI
Zach Werenski - Grosse Pointe, MI
Dylan Larkin - Waterford, MI
Connor Hellebuyck - Commerce, MI
Hockey runs through the state of Michigan. And why Detroit will always be Hockeytown.

Rafael Nadal won four (?!?!) points in the entirety of this set... Watching it happen live as an Andy Murray fan felt like ascending to some previously unseen level of paradise.
Outrageous. 🔥

Building on @balajis’ analysis: Here's my perspective: open.substack.com/pub/rparekh/p/… The India story in the U.S. is bifurcated. Wall Street decks talk about scale, while TikTok pushes ridicule for clicks. As an Indian-American, you scroll both at once. The tension isn’t about where India is headed, it’s about what that split does to identity here.

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article called Analyzing India in the Current Zeitgeist
With the renewed online debate around H-1B visas, it’s hard not to miss the contradictions
On one hand, U.S. government officials meet tech leaders every week to discuss the future of AI and innovation. On the other, proposals like this threaten to cripple the very companies in their ecosystem, especially early-stage startups/SMBs that can’t foot $100K-per-year bills for every skilled employee
The assumption that these roles would seamlessly “trickle” to American-born workers is, frankly, naive. H-1B regulations were designed to bring in specialized talent, the kind of knowledge that isn’t easily replaceable. Filling these gaps would require massive investment in education, re-skilling programs, and behavioral shifts in how we approach technical training
This doesn't feel like a long-term strategy to build a stronger workforce, it looks like a short-term revenue measure that risks eroding what has historically made America the most attractive place to build a business
Joey Politano 🏳️🌈@JosephPolitano
The new $100k/year H1B fee is pure economic self-harm—workers making **5 times the median US income**, who contribute massively to the US, would still basically be unable to afford this fee Oh, but never fear, the White House reserves the right to dish out exemptions as favors!

@maorshlomo Is there a reason I don’t own my own repo when I export to Git and am only a collaborator?

1/ Some business and product updates as it’s been a while since I last shared one.
TLDR - we're adding +$1M ARR every 2.5 days.
We have some big announcements as well as some growth challenges we're tackling

Don’t sleep on Andreeva. @WTA US Open picks ⬇️
CenterCourt@OnCenterCourt
Swiatek’s the betting favorite, Sabalenka’s the defending champ, but the @WTA draw feels loaded with landmines. There are teenagers who don’t know they’re supposed to be nervous, vets who can drag anyone into a three-hour street fight, and floaters who can flip a match quick🧵

Just heard a story of a guy who runs a giant anti-Indian bot farm
You're being manipulated, every day

On many graphs of the physical world, China is in first place by a wide margin. But if you look more closely, India is a distant but real runner up.

Sinner’s net game + movement have improved, but at 63% @PolymarketSport odds?? I like Alcaraz. Longer rallies in the heat favor him, IMO this is bloated
