@chrispisarski No way this only takes 15 minutes

one of the best sales advice we got back in YC was the "daily war room": every day for 15 minutes, the CEO + the entire sales + growth team come together in one room they go through every open deal and ask one question: "what was the last touch, and what do we do next?" there are no stupid questions or status updates, just going through the top deals on that day and answering these 2 questions / figuring out what the next move is even if you are a solo founder, you should probably have a daily war room a lot of deals closed because someone in the room said "wait, have you tried looping in their CFO? I know x that can intro us here to push the deal forward" and you did it that afternoon

@blueprintsmb22 People didn't seem to let the rain affect them but class dinners were wet!

Sad to say no Jeff Bezos sighting during the parade as he didn’t walk w his 1986 40 year reunion class (he was seen last night apparently). Princeton reunions I have to say was impressive despite the rain. Energy was incredible and everybody was having a blast. Wife thinks I’m a complete clown lol so she found it hilarious how warm and friendly @OneManLBO and his friends were towards me. I feel the need to take the family to Brown reunions sometime in the next few years now. x.com/blueprintsmb22…

@nejatian Net listings as a service is a great idea if you can skirt around the regulations

Too many companies care more about themselves than their users. Today, we are making Opendoor available to all homeowners, including the ones that want to work with agents. Launching Opendoor 2.0 for Agents, first with @RealScout.

@moseskagan @NYCMayor Whole foods is already extremely reasonable. Unlikely they can beat generic prices there.

@NYCMayor Going to be *amazing* to see exactly how much subsidy is required to get the pricing down to the level of the Costco a few blocks away from the first store

At our city-owned grocery stores, staples like eggs and bread will actually be affordable. And we're going to do it the right way, without cutting workers' pay or dignity. Because in the wealthiest city in this country, buying groceries shouldn't be an unsolvable equation. It should be simple, fair, and within reach for everyone.

The new gemini chrome extension is trying to put itself out of a job.

@sylviiasoven The law is for convicted murderers, so... Who did he kill?

i feel so guilty for being able to live normally while being aware of the fact that there's people dying to exist. there's literal people who are being killed for nothing.

@hashjenni Since when is terrorist an ethnic group

Just so we're clear, Israel is now the first state to have an ethnicity-based death penalty since Nazi Germany.

@sethbannon x.com/avivaklompas/s…

Was hoping this photo was not real. Sadly it is. This is the Deputy Speaker of the Knesset dressed up as "Death Penalty", holding a hanging noose. Her settler husband is holding a prop gun labeled "Occupation," an airplane labeled "Expulsion," and a house labeled "Settlement."

@AbubakerAbedW 9300 convicted murderers? Wow... Because this law is only for convicted murderers

The bill has been approved. Israeli prisons will turn into guillotines for Palestinians. Hundreds will be executed in the next few weeks. 9300 hostages now in Israeli custody. Dark day for humanity. Unforgettable memory in the Palestinian cause history.

@RepRashida Not prisoners. Convicted murderers. You're insane.

The Israeli government is about to pass a law mandating the death penalty, only for Palestinian prisoners. Mass execution by hanging, solely on racial lines. This is apartheid and the next step in the genocide of Palestinians, already systematically tortured in Israeli prisons.

@AssalRad @sethbannon What do you call this kind of activism? Justice for convicted murderers?

And what is called when a “law” applies to one group of people based on religious/ethnic identity and not another? Is there a word for that kind of system?

@dwlz Back home?!

To book a cross-country move, you need to go to a website like this and get inundated with hundreds of cold calls from desperate movers. Basically no different than a decade ago. Can a real software company please attack this problem? I just want an app. Please and thank you.

@wolfejosh @Cornell @cornell_tech This was excellently-written. Hope more universities use this as a model.

Standing ovation. Bravo @Cornell + @cornell_tech + President Michael Kotlikoff for principled moral leadership for "fully and forecfully rejecting this" and not pandering to protestors. An undergrad student Yasmeen Masoud '28 (working in postcolonial and minority literary studies) politically targeted Israel in a student assembly movement demanding Cornell Tech (named for Technion) sever ties because...Israel. "I am deeply troubled by the selective manner in which this resolution singles out the Technion, alone of Cornell’s many international partners, for censure. Cornell currently maintains 159 active agreements with institutions in 59 nations and regions; all of these institutions have some government affiliation, and many conduct research with military and security applications. Cornell itself has military research contracts, conducts research with potential military applications, and has relationships with companies whose products are used in military contexts. Cornell also has relationships with institutions in countries whose governments have been accused of human rights violations—as our own has been. None of these publicly available facts are mentioned in the resolution; only our partnership with an Israeli institution is targeted for erasure. The political bias evident in this selective approach is deeply disturbing, and the resolution is incompatible with both the Student Assembly’s purpose and Cornell University’s core values. I reject it fully and forcefully."

@Telegraph I must have missed the NYT alert and follow-up opeds demonizing Pakistan today

@NYCBikeLanes @NYC_DOT Because there was a half marathon...

BREAKING: According to early reports, The Brooklyn Bridge just saw its highest two-hour total crossings of the year. @NYC_DOT data suggests the record will stand for the entire year.

@msuster The same people "explaining it" aren't denouncing it, while proving the link between antizionism and antisemitism

Seth. I invite you to check basic facts before spouting your uninformed opinions online. First - his two brothers were Hezbollah terrorist. Second - no excuse justifies trying to attack 140 young children at a school.

@JulienBek I'm curious how you think QSBS is going to apply to these new models and 1) if the tax code will change or 2) people shift definitions to fit existing QSBS

@kyle_e_walker What's the QSBS treatment here?

There are massive opportunities right now for: - Small firms / consultancies providing AI enablement services for companies, and; - Companies to get way ahead of their competitors by hiring these firms
