Who are good angels or smaller funds that have great networks with distilleries, alcohol brands, etc? We work with a very cool deep tech company where that's one of the (many) target markets. I'd love to help them build out their network in that world.

@bobbyfijan Wait where does the latter exist??

Compare that to a kids playroom … which would easily get used.

Oversized chess sets are the funniest apartment amenity … that no one ever uses.

@KunalsLab @bryce Leopard print tracks

Bryce is good people. He'll even take the photo to look like you're the same height. Founders, you want this well-dressed man on your cap table and in your corner.

Introducing the American Dynamism Cinematic Universe Grant has been leaving bread crumbs for 5+ years, no doubt people will start noticing more now

Liking this may entice Donald to post more. Do it for the greater good.

This is the definitive conversation on Alpha School with @jliemandt, who is the school’s principal and backer. What if kids could learn in two hours a day, test in the top 1% nationally, spend their afternoons mastering other great skills, AND love school more than vacation? What sounds impossible is already happening at Alpha. If you are a parent like me, it’s impossible not to wonder how to make sure your kids will benefit from this enormous innovation. We explore everything in exhaustive detail—the learning science, the role of software and AI, the central role of motivation, the challenges of scaling to ALL kids, and more. Joe is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in history, who has now decided to devote his next two decades to ushering in a new era of education. I hope this becomes a historically important episode.

@ahmedshubber25 Big if true

Lumina is now the proud owner of 17 electric Nikola semi trucks. Representing $6m of capex. These vehicles will go into our electric excavation operations later this year.

@jmduke @itunpredictable What could cloudflare do better? Just asking relative to every other trash or unsustainable option

@itunpredictable weirdly cloudflare is also not that good though at least their price is lovely

Of all of the worst product experiences I've had in my life I'd have to say that Squarespace Domains takes the cake. Even worse, I was forced to use it because Google Domains shut down and migrated my domains there. This thing has more bugs than a beehive

@criccomini @sarahcat21 @bernhardsson whennnn does this happen???

@sarahcat21 @bernhardsson Your recent tweets suggest you’re in the thick of it with the little one. Hang in there! Things change fast. I still remember the first time I was the only adult home and could take a nap while the kids just… played. It was glorious.

My most psychotic opinion is that we should have multiple daylight savings adjustments every year. Today in NYC, sunrise is at 5:38am (1% are awake at this time and care) and sunset is at 8:25pm (100% are awake at this time and would love another hour of sun).

@rohindhar Where?

Interrupting yet another family vacation to tour real estate 😅 Here the lowest priced home for sale in Tahoe with a decent lake view ($995k for a very small cabin)

@ahmedshubber25 That’s too much revenue

Projects of this size are what we”ll be executing on in 6 months time with a fleet of lumina dozers. We’re on track to hit $44m of revenue this year.

@nikillinit Make this man a chief innovation officer

here's my new business idea give everyone at your company $10 a month to bet on internal, company-specific prediction markets "will this company turn into a customer" "how much revenue will we hit this year" "will we succeed in this pilot" use it as information mining of what your employees actually think about internal initiatives

AI investing is crazy. - AI infra is just rebuilding microservices patterns - mcp is a mess - valuation is 📈 - space is changing so fast - OpenAI is a product company (takes consumer) - Microsoft takes enterprise - building on LLMs is like building on mobile (good for indy)

The write up is amazing but the dude in the Firestone welding helmet is my favorite part

@rohindhar Surprising! St Francis Wood is beautiful and the fact that it tops the next 15 with much better climate and location is an interesting case study

@samcates Should be roughly the same order

Most (and Least) Expensive Neighborhoods in San Francisco

@tjparker But seriously all advice is bad

@tjparker Ok Keith

It’s also possible that lean startup was always just bad advice.

It's the software—not hardware—holding robots back from mainstream adoption. @TerranMott cuts through the hype to show what it'll take to unlock the $1tn robotics frontier. One of my favorite people to learn from: joincolossus.com/article/when-w…
