@_aaronpaul25 how did you stay even keeled during the 3 months where you saw no traction?

3 months of grinding in the trenches with no results, but I'd say it paid off.

@kevin_jy_lu @atrium_me Atrium

It’s official - meet @atrium_me I've been working on a solution for those who take building relationships seriously. Personal CRMs are clunky. Inboxes overflow. So we built something new, We built a relationship studio. Comment “Atrium” for priority access.

@avipat_ i would feel straight up gross if i copied a company... like isn't founding something you put your heart and soul into? crazy. Just keep going - users know what's up. They know quality when they see it. Wishing you the best.

General Catalyst just co-led a $31.5 million seed round into a blatant rip-off of my company, Kled. (skip to 40 seconds if you want to skip context) I would typically not speak on things like this, but this level of blatant copycatting is egregious and completely unacceptable, and needs to be made an example of. This is one of hundreds of YC startups who have conducted this disgusting behavior. Unimaginative slop that continues to get rewarded due to nepotism.

Non-CO2 gases cause nearly half of all warming. They get a fraction of the attention. Climate policy is almost entirely built around CO2 and decarbonization and that framing is dangerously incomplete. Fail to also cut non-CO2 pollutants and we blow past 2°C before 2050. Even if decarbonization succeeds on schedule. The fast movers are short-lived climate pollutants (SLPCs): HFCs, methane, black carbon. They dissipate in years, not centuries. Cut them now and you can avoid up to 0.6°C of warming by 2050. That half degree is the difference between a crisis we can manage and one we cannot. CO2 is the long game. SLCPs are the bridge that keeps us alive long enough to play it. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@citrini @GavinSBaker @wolfejosh Hearing @wolfejosh on 'invest like the best' for the first time years ago, fundamentally changed my brain chemistry Big fan ever since

For the better part of 4 years, I’ve considered myself reasonably early to emerging sub-themes in AI and Robotics. Every time I begin researching a new one, I encounter promising private companies and, without fail, @GavinSBaker or @wolfejosh are already investors in them.

@vikramchahal_21 @trentjhughes Not if it's in nyc, trust me I know

@trentjhughes If you’re doing this right, there’s going to be a lot of churn and your MRR will dwindle

Local club business idea: Singles social club in your city $99 a month Curated events Dinners Hiking trips Holiday parties 200 members $19,800 a month Dating apps are broken People want real life connection Nobody is building this locally...

In the spirit of declaring goals publicly, there are two I dream of: 1. Summiting Mt. Denali 2. Completing an Ironman Ideally before I'm 40. Race is on.

Belated update: 55 miles. Verrazano bridge is really... really long. Not sure who decided to put it on the tail end of the race course. Pit stop at my friends place for mango lassi made w Indian mangoes. 10/10 will do again.

@BrandonLuuMD time to start blending them into my 15 ingredient smoothie now its 16 ingredients

Men, eat your carrots. Beta-carotene supplementation makes men’s faces look more attractive and healthy.

You know what I’m restarting the $100 to $10,000 challenge. I want everyone to have a fair shot at this. Last time it took me about 5 days, will try to do it faster this time. If you want to follow along, comment below to join Going to lock comments in 24 hours

fun fact: Refrigerants utilized across HVAC / refrigeration are primarily HFCs. HFCs are 100x to up to 14,000x more potent than CO2 in trapping heat (aka global warming potential GWP) most prevalent HFC is R-134a and it is 1,430x more potent than CO2, and our piping leaks 10-30% of it every year...

@coryetzkorn @Aizkmusic this was worded poorly (perhaps purposefully so) but brooklyn bowl actually hosted an adult talent show for all you onlookers

@coryetzkorn @Aizkmusic and some nights its a bit of exploring the local adult talent shows amirite

If you live in a major city and you're not coming home at 10:00 pm every night (socializing / talking / eating with friends) you are leaving free opportunities on the table millions would murder for.
