There's been a lot of discussion around an alleged fraud case in Minnesota around daycare centers in the past week. A citizen journalist took videos outside of the centers, which went viral and captivated the country. There is now a national discussion around fraud in government. I have no opinion on the MN case and will wait for the facts to play out. I do have a strong opinion on local government though, and I'm glad people are finally starting to pay attention. The vast majority of government employees work hard and do the right thing every single day. Local government is a thankless job - people just expect everything to work magically. But it's also true that fraud exists, perpetrated by a small number of people. If you really want to root out fraud, you have to start by reading budgets. Your instinct about whether fraud exists, or your policy disagreements with local government, are not the same as fraud. Fraud is in the numbers. It's hard for the average citizen to find and understand government documents - even when they're technically public. Budgets are scattered across hundreds of different websites with no standardization. In the past 48 hours, I went down a rabbit hole and built BudgetAPI - a free site containing the official budgets for hundreds of state, county, and city governments. You can browse recent budget news, download documents, and analyze them yourself. Budget transparency is good for everyone - citizens, governments, and anyone who cares about democracy. These documents are already public. They just weren't in one place. Now they are (wwww.budgetapi.us)

BREAKING: Alex Jones claims that Owen Shroyer tried to extort him for more money. This is insane.

My book, Never Split The Difference, has over 40,000 reviews on Amazon. If you’ve read my book, retweet this. I want to see something….

@jwage Yes.

Should I ditch my Apple Watch for a Whoop? I mostly only really use my Apple watch to track health stuff. I have all notifications and stuff off.

@TomHacohen @calcom @calcom was a YC company too. Maybe they have a special for other YC companies too.

Observation from YC alumni demo day: all the founders are using @calcom, didn't get a calendar link from any other provider.

@auren I was going to chime in with my advice because I love to dish some out, and I realized the last time I looked for a job was in 1999 when I graduated from college.

@adamaltman have never looked for a job. most of the advice I give is completely out of my butt ... but still might be true

job hunting advice: looking for a job is a full-time job. so you are hampered if you are still employed while you are looking. assuming you can afford a few months off, you'll find a better job if you quit your current job before looking for a new job

@auren 1. What have you learned about the market this past ___ (period)? 2. What have you learned from customers (if you have any)? Or prospects? 3. What experiments have you tried?

how would you redesign boards and board meetings?

start-up board meetings are a complete waste of time board doesn’t know enough about the company to help with anything beyond fundraising and M&A every company strategy is a snowflake. it's almost unfair to expect your board to add a ton of value there

@gregyoung About a 20 mile difference flying all the way around the planet... that's about a 2-minute flight time difference.

I wonder what whoever made this thinks the diameter of the Earth is ¯\_(ツ)_/

🛠️ November brought RBAC for API keys, giving you better control over who can push content. Details: hubs.ly/Q02Z_F0H0 #APISecurity

@peeplaja Instead, write a "How to build _____". People will read it and some may realize they don't actually want to build it.

Download the report "should you build or buy", produced by a software vendor. I mean who's gonna look at that as a credible resource?

I think this signals that the world's "not most popular" AI tools are making significant inroads, such as @cursor_ai

🚀 November updates are here! Key improvements include: Word wrap in the editor, XML code sample support, and RBAC for API keys. Read more: hubs.ly/Q02-0bvl0 #APIs #ProductUpdates

@gregyoung I would think something like Qa1. Keeps an eye on both rooks.

Fun chess problem. There were many in the chess group quite confident about their wrong answers. Hint: the actual answer is pretty subtle. Will include in a reply after one hour.

@Dilnewm That's amazing accuracy. 🎯

We re-imagined our product suite and made some dramatic changes along the way. Here's a quick recap on some of the bigger shifts we made during the reinvention, and the impacts they drive for our customers: hubs.li/Q02L84mH0 #API #MoreThanJustDocs

@SaadMalik Running on fumes is better than walking on eggshells. I don't see any 20s doing $10m ARR in my timeline. Find people you admire or learn from and follow them. I'd probably also recommend finding some you disagree with and follow them too (but not too many).

32, founder, dad, running on fumes. How do I adjust my timeline to see more of my type as opposed to the island hopping single dudes in their 20s doing $10m ARR?
