🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 The House Energy and Commerce Committee just voted 48-1 to advance The Sunshine Protection Act, which would make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Key details: -Bill will be attached to the broader Highway Bill in the House -48-1 vote signals overwhelming bipartisan support Trump publicly thanked Chairman Brett Guthrie and Rep. Vern Buchanan -Trump says hundreds of millions of dollars are wasted annually on clock changes including tower clocks requiring heavy equipment -His framing: "Saving Daylight gives you a longer, brighter Day — And who can be against that" -Trump has called it "a very nice WIN for the Republican Party" Saying goodbye to the twice-yearly clock change has been a rare bipartisan dream for years. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio pushed the same bill through the Senate by unanimous consent in 2022 before it died in the House. The clock-change tradition dates back to WWI as a wartime energy-saving measure. America may finally be done with it.

A friend of mine just sold a property and is now sitting on about $245,000 in cash. He was considering buying an apartment outright in Miami, no mortgage, paying cash, even with a $675/month HOA association fee. After all expenses, he estimated he could net around $1,500 per month if he rented it. I brought up Bitcoin, but he’s very risk averse, so he immediately shut that idea down. Then I mentioned $STRC. At an 11.5% yield, that same $245,000 could potentially generate around $2,347 per month, without dealing with tenants, vacancies, repairs, or HOA issues. I mentioned STRC is not risk free. That it may potentially generate more income, but it comes with different risks than a rental property such as market risk, structural risk, and potential changes in yield. Today he’s going to look into it and do his own research. Hopefully he makes an informed decision and chooses the option that best fits his goals and risk tolerance. Sometimes people don’t choose the safest option. They choose the risk they understand best. And thats ok

Exa is what I trust for all my agents. We use it at YC. We use it in all my OpenClaw and Hermes Agents. There is no other option that is as fast, as reliable, and as complete. When your agents need to search the web, accept no substitutes.

I now understand why AI will eat the software industry. I used to have a web agency. With Claude over the last 3 days I have built and deployed a system that would have: - Taken 6 months - Cost £150-200k - Required 8 different skill sets I can't design. I can't code. I don't understand SQL, APIs, Cloud Storage - yet Claude has walked me through Github, Supabase, Vercel and it is deployed and working. A 100% custom software system - 3 days, 1 idiot. BLOWN AWAY!

One of my favorite branding projects so far this year
