If you’re traveling with kids, you should not be allowed to use TSA PreCheck. The whole point is to keep the line moving quickly! TSA PreCheck is supposed to be the express lane, not the ‘let me wrangle my toddler while you wait’ lane

@jamescham @nabeel SF MOMA is in Yerba Buena and it directly borders The East Cut. From: urbanambles.com/2021/04/10/the…

@nabeel I was wondering about the portion between East Cut and SF MOMA.
English
Is there a name for the part of SF between SFMOMA and Salesforce Park?
English
@parkerconrad The article was definitely well researched and thoughtful, not just mindlessly amplifying Teamsters talking points: 'the Teamsters who are battling the growing likelihood that massive tech companies like Amazon and Alphabet are gunning to replace its members with self-driving '🙄
English
That’s an interesting question. Does anyone know if SF had a housing shortage problem before the broad availability of robotaxis a few months ago?

@BNarasin Boichik in Berkeley 👍, but their SF shops are just selling East Bay-baked bagels shipped across the bridge. NYC bagels need to be baked fresh on-site. Wise Sons...let's not even go there. And why don't any of these places understand the correct amount of cream cheese?

You need Izzy’s Brooklyn bagels from Ca Ave in Palo Alto. The real thing. Here I would favor Bouchik s

Fascinating chart/data point form my pal @charliebilello
Both Cisco and Nvidia had to pass $MSFT to become the largest companies (market cap) of all time...24 years apart.
The biggest takeaway for me is Ballmer sucked as CEO
English
This article is troubling. Unions like the Teamsters are prioritizing membership (dues, influence, power) over saving lives. Swiss Re compared Waymo's data to 125B human driving miles, and AVs are at least 300% safer than humans.

Tons of respect for any team that maintains a high velocity of shipping at any time, let alone under unprecedented uncertainty.

Citadel founder Ken Griffin sees one side effect of years of working from home: companies may find it easier to fire people trib.al/yRM7hHk

...there's an implication that lives lost to human drivers are somehow less valuable than those potentially at risk with robot taxis
English
The strong opposition to self-driving taxis in California will sadly lead to more fatalities at the hands of human drivers, mirroring the anti-nuclear movement’s impact, which spurred the construction of coal power plants, resulting in increased deaths and suffering
English
@DavidZipper Resorting to name-calling over facts? 🙄
Clearly, you've never seen Uber/Lyft drivers: blocking traffic, lane hogging, illegal U-turns, driving 2mph🤬
AVs ease traffic through methodical navigation while increasing access to underserved communities and also reducing costs
English
I see some tech bros wringing their hands in horror: "Won't someone think of the AVs?!" Couldn't disagree more.
California regulators are forcing San Franciscans to become guinea pigs for work-in-progress AV tech. Active protest is a reasonable response.
English
A group of San Franciscans realized that they can disable Waymo and Cruise robotaxis by placing a traffic cone on the vehicle's hood.
They're now encouraging others to do it: "Hell no, we do not consent to this."
English
@BNarasin The decision is well-founded, ensuring a healthy bank in the auction redo benefits everyone involved. It's likely that the Fed believes the Bank Term Funding Program, if in place earlier, could have prevented SVB's failure.
English
It’s wild that now with what appears to be no limits on the amount of deposits protected by the FDIc it’s safer than any bank that didn’t fail. I guess it’s like a persons credit going up post bankruptcy but it’s very odd.
Sheel Mohnot@pitdesi
I'm encouraging our portfolio companies to keep their money at SVB, & encourage you to do the same. It's the safest place to put your money - fully guaranteed with no $250k limit. We (tech/VC's) really need SVB & have a real chance to bring it back or find a friendly home.
English

Some (below) are arguing US capitalism would be better off if SVB had completely failed (also wiping out depositors). History suggests that out gov't treated big banks (2008) & big airlines (2020) FAR BETTER than SVB - in both cases fully protecting EQUITY shareholders. (cont)

*96%* of SVB's deposits exceeded the $250,00-per-customer FDIC limit and so are uninsured. That's wild (Bank of America's is 32%, PNC is 46%) and magnifies the risk of a run on the bank like the one we just saw

Three tips for closing more deals from @SVMansuri
1. Email is where deals go to die. Text messages are where deals get done.

It's interesting that software multiples are now at the 5 year average of 2014-2018. Maybe not cheap, but fully reverted from craziness of 18-21. Only the 5 highest multiple stocks have not reverted and remain 40% above 14-18, while < 30% growers trade below that 5 year average.

I love getting a WhatsApp notification because I never know if it's going to be ignorable spam or a critically important update from a colleague overseas

Why aren't you focusing on a solution to help these workers? Rather than personal brand building?
1/ Why protest outside of Facebook if the issue is with the custodial contractor SBM?
2/ Fastest solution to a contract violation is the NLRB. Why haven't you taken that route?

Janitors are on STRIKE at Meta (Facebook) buildings downtown. Dozens of the janitors have been laid off by the custodial contractor (SBM), in violation of their contract, without healthcare or severance pay. @local87seiu @sflabor
