NEWS: Jeff Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin has filed an official request with the FCC to launch and operate a constellation of 51,600 AI satellites (orbital datacenters), just two weeks after Amazon filed a formal petition calling on the FCC to deny @SpaceX’s 1 million-satellite proposal for orbiting datacenters, going as far to claim the project would take “centuries” to deploy. Blue Origin's project, called “Project Sunrise,” would include up to 51,600 satellites in low Earth orbit, designed to run AI and cloud computing workloads using constant solar power. The system would primarily use laser (optical) links between satellites. Blue Origin says "space-based data centers could relieve pressure on Earth’s power grids and water usage."

NEWS: NASA is planning a bigger @SpaceX Moon mission role using Starship, in a massive blow to Boeing. With the new proposal, Boeing's SLS would no longer be used to boost Orion close to the moon. Instead, Starship and Orion would dock in Earth orbit, giving Starship the pivotal role of propelling the capsule to the moon’s orbit, before taking astronauts down to the surface. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Nice to see the @DaffyGiving $1 Billion milestone pickup on Morningstar. 🥰 morningstar.com/news/business-…

California golden poppies as far as the eye can see

Does the iPhone launch in 2007 in the @forallmankind_ universe? 🤔

Initial Super Heavy V3 and Starbase Pad 2 activation campaign complete, wrapping up several days of testing that loaded cryogenic fuel and oxidizer on a V3 vehicle for the first time. While the 10-engine static fire ended early due to a ground-side issue, we saw successful startup on all installed Raptor 3 engines. Next up: preparing the booster for a 33-engine static fire

Wow!! @DaffyGiving just crossed $1 billion in charitable assets, including $155 million transferred from other DAFs. $75 million from Fidelity Charitable alone. When incumbents stop innovating, people move. Congrats @AdamNash, @alejandrocrosa, and team — keep it up.

@tomerlondon @DaffyGiving Thank you, Tomer! 🙏

@adamnash @DaffyGiving Wow, what an incredible milestone. Congrats!

We launched @DaffyGiving four and a half years ago with a simple question: why couldn't a donor-advised fund be built for everyone? Daffy has now crossed $1 billion in charitable assets. More than $7 per second since we launched. 🎉

@jesseproudman @DaffyGiving Thank you, Jesse! 🙏

Proud of Adam and the team for everything they’re building with @DaffyGiving

@Vanguard_Group @DaffyGiving $1 billion seems like an almost immeasurable amount, but it's just the start. We believe platforms like @DaffyGiving can help unlock *trillions*. Thank you to every member who has been part of this journey. We are in awe of your generosity. Join us. daffy.org/resources/one-…

@Vanguard_Group @DaffyGiving Both are finding their way to @DaffyGiving, and both are giving. Members have now made over 100,000 donation recommendations totaling $200M+ 🤯 💸 Largest donation: $5M+ 💸 Median: $100 💸 Minimum: $10 That's what it means to build a DAF for everyone. daffy.org/resources/one-…

BREAKING🚨: ALL FIVE types of nucleic acid bases, the building blocks of LIFE 'DNA and RNA', have been found in samples collected from asteroid Ryugu

🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️

@TeaAndTruths @DaffyGiving ... the story told was simply that everyone gets one hot dog first before anyone takes seconds. 🤷‍♂️

@adamnash @DaffyGiving your 'hot dog algorithm' sounds like a clever euphemism, but let's be real, it's just a rebranding of the old 'make the CEO's kid happy' stock allocation strategy

Our VP Engineering has coined the term "Hot Dog Algorithm" for our approach to allocating private stock sales across @DaffyGiving members... and it's going to stick. 🌭 While it sounds like an episode of "Silicon Valley," it's really about hosting kids birthday parties. 🤓

Production days in LA are down nearly half and the entertainment industry is feeling it. A friend, who has been working as an editor for over 25 years, compared it to a coal mine shutting down.

In 2016, California ran a $1bn surplus. In 2026, it'll be a $26bn deficit. All while California GDP grew by 50%.

@kimmaicutler ... same story in reverse when they overspend during the boom years. Would be amazing to get this rerouted into something resembling the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth fund.

California also has a revenue problem in that it is so dependent on highly volatile PIT and cap gains revenues that it can’t really predictably fund services. Everyone who points out the deficit every other year when there aren’t IPOs almost never provides this context.
