@ZackPolanski Treasonous weasel

These aircraft should not be allowed to land on British Soil. Over 1000 civilians dead already after illegal war started by the US and Israel - and all this with no vote in the UK parliament about our role.

@gilduran76 You didn’t read the article, did you…

Garry Tan never has a negative word about Donald Trump...but he makes time to crap on MacKenzie Scott for *checks notes* giving billions of dollars to good causes.

@justexist1312 @TheGreenParty Oh there would be economic change, that’s for sure. A quick listen to him talk about how they’d deal with the national debt tells anyone who completed high school that it would result in hyperinflation.

@simonwhiteio @TheGreenParty The greens are the only party to lead with economic change as huge part of their policy. They have the only reasonable solution to lowering inflation and the cost of living in this country. If you honestly think that, it’s you that doesn’t have a grasp of how economics work.

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

@justexist1312 @TheGreenParty Watch literally just 3 minutes of him talk about economics unedited. The man is a certifiable moron and a lunatic.

@simonwhiteio @TheGreenParty Well done, you are gullible enough to believe GB News hit pieces..

@ljdfilm @TheGreenParty Farage at least has a basic understanding of economics.

@simonwhiteio @TheGreenParty Good. And to be honest so is Farage. The UK does not need or want politicians of the traditional ilk anymore.

@ryangrim You don’t see any idealogical issues with this and/or historial examples where this has been used and hasn’t ended well? Government seizure of privately held assets?

If the billionaires don’t want to pay cash for their wealth tax but are billionaires because of unrealized gains, then they should be able to pay that specific tax by signing over 1% of the security to the Treasury. If it falls in value later, no harm, no foul, they don’t owe cash they don’t have. If it rises in value, everyone wins.

The reason this debate is so insane is because support for a wealth tax can come from only one of two positions: 1) You do not understand the absolute basics of how the world, economics or money works 2) You do understand, and are a compulsive liar It really is that simple.

@KellerZoe @DustinWalper @garrytan @martin_casado Definition of oligarch: "a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence (particularly with reference to individuals who benefited from the privatization of state-run industries after the collapse of the Soviet Union)."

@DustinWalper @garrytan @martin_casado The definition of "oligarch" has nothing to do with the origin of wealth, it refers to the use of power. It refers to individuals who use their massive wealth to wield significant political influence, often in a corrupt or self-serving manner.

It’s super weird to call @garrytan or @martin_casado oligarchs. They’re both immigrants. They worked hard and built things people wanted/found valuable. “Oligarch” is obviously used to draw parallels to the shady private accumulation of public assets after the collapse of the USSR. But like… Martin pioneered software defined networking when he was a PhD student at Stanford - an immensely valuable technology - and made his fortune building a company around it. It’s the literal definition of the American dream. People consumed by jealousy and resentment will look for any excuse to take from those who have found success, but it’s never enough - there is nothing quite so permanent as a “temporary tax”.

It is genuinely mind-boggling how few of the loudest voices on a wealth tax don't have even the most basic understanding of the economic impact of taxing unrealised gains. You don't need to be an economist to understand this, just 45 seconds of thought will do.

@Nate_Sinclair @dvassallo You’re a moron

@dvassallo He literally did NONE of those things, he just paid someone else to do the work.

I recently bought a piece of plastic from Elon Musk which I pointed to the sky and it gave me internet by connecting to 9000 satellites that he put in space himself with reusable rockets after NASA pursued that concept for 60 years and failed. I bet he’s not that unintelligent.

@mattaitken @Standard_Cap @ycombinator @pioneer_fund @Liquid2V @grinich @yuris Congrats team!

@karrisaarinen We saw this come up and tried to correct it at my last startup i.e. designers who develop a sense of build complexity start restricting their designs based on perceived build effort.

Whenever a new design to code tool comes around, people get excited. It’s considered the holy grail of design. You can now design with code. This is the final evolution. But I don’t agree. It’s only the holy grail if you value output higher than the process of design. Whenever a designer becomes more of a builder, some idealism and creativity dies. Not because building is bad, but because you start out including constraints earlier in the process than they should. I’m one that very much thinks design is ultimately what is shipped. But before it shipped, there is a lot of stages that don’t benefit from code or some implementation constraints. In architecture, a lot of the best work is started with sketches and some of the best architects still draw by hand. People forget that the creative process is not about tools. It’s about forming a vision, and then translating that vision into some form. You can use various tools as part of the process, but designers job is really communicating that vision. Once you become the architect and the builder, or the designer and the developer, you start making more conservative bets. You gravitate to what you already know is feasible or supported. You make smaller iterations. You stop dreaming something big. This is not design. Designers, don’t do that. Your job is to imagine the future, and sometimes code and convention gets in the way. Use tools. Understand the domain. Get close to the medium. But don’t lose your greatest strength ability to dream. Work with engineers to realize those dreams. Designing in code is just a path to local maxima and ruin.

A+ grade act of self-care as an adult: stop booking cheap economy flights with shitty travel agents through Skyscanner.

@RepTeresaLF Right up there with the dumbest things I’ve ever read. Well done.

Any school teacher has more work ethic in their pinky finger than Elon Musk has in his entire body. Make. Billionaires. Pay. Their. Fair. Share.

1) What

Please God

@TweetsOfSumit It’s almost like the landing page is missing important details. Like what the product is, does and why. If only there were H1 space available for this…

What’s wrong with Linear? 😳

Economic “Berlin Wall” independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

The irony of using your H1 screen real estate to slag off a famously well designed competitor instead of communicating what you actually do.
