economic growth needs you! @stripe comms is hiring a handful of high-taste people this year—unorthodox backgrounds and spiky skills encouraged. this is the weirdest comms job i've ever had and the best. rate of learning is high, no day is the same, and we have a lot of fun playing with the vastness of comms possibilities in this age. my colleagues include comms pros but also entrepreneurs and ex-restaurateurs. we get to work on everything from publishing books to announcing infrastructure for ai to creating miniature cities. we're lucky enough to work with the world’s fastest-growing and most dynamic businesses. join us: stripe-comms.lovable.app.

Sundar Pichai explains Google Search latency budgets: "I’ve always internalized speed as one of the distinguishing features of a great product. It almost always reflects the technical underpinnings of the product having been done well. It's easy to say you want low latency, but you're constantly adding capabilities. The capability frontier is progressing. That's where it gets more complicated. But to give an example, Search they now have latency budgets, in the milliseconds. If you ship something which shaves off three milliseconds, you earn 1.5 milliseconds for your latency budget, and 1.5 milliseconds gets passed onto the user. Depending on what we think you're doing, some people may get a latency budget of 30 milliseconds or 10 milliseconds. That's how much we think it matters." @sundarpichai @eladgil @collision

Big personal update. My role @stripe is evolving, and I couldn't be more excited. 💜 Most of my career, I’ve been focused on helping founders get paid on the internet. Now I’m shifting to what happens after. I’m leading Financial Accounts at Stripe, and I'll be focused on how businesses store, move, and spend money. Imagine being able to spend your Stripe balance immediately. No waiting a week for your funds to arrive in your bank account. It just works the way you'd expect money to work. Still early, with plenty to build. Exactly the kind of problem I love.

Introducing the Million Dollar Homepage, but for AI Agents The original, 20 years ago, let anyone buy pixels on a webpage. You'd PayPal @tewy and email him your image. This one is built with @tempo x @stripe's new MPP (machine payment protocol), so agents can generate and buy pixels instantly - no humans in the loop required!
