> mayor uses taxpayer dollars to purchase 1000 tickets > city sells tickets for significantly below market price > people lucky enough to get tickets re-sell them in black market at 10x markup > the tickets are for a soccer tournament > literally textbook socialism
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor

1,000 World Cup tickets. $50 each. All for New Yorkers. We fought hard to make the people’s game available to the people — and won. Let the summer of soccer begin.

@annimaniac @m2jr What are the pms doing if not deciding what to build. Prioritization has always been the most important skill set. Pms are less important for smaller teams as leadership team prioritize Also what safety rails were provided to these non tech folks vibe coding technical problems

“ok this startup is cool but …” 1980: … what if IBM builds this? 1995 … what if Microsoft builds this? 2010 … what if Google builds this? Today … what if builds this? reality is, if founders listened to the “what if” pessimists we’d never have any startups or new products. That’s why they’re building and the pundits aren’t My observation: When these huge waves happen, these new markets are so damn big there will be tens of thousands of new viable companies, hundreds of unicorns, and a few iconic companies that become generational. The big cos play a role but can never compete with the glorious open market known as capitalism So for all the “what if” people - sit down, log off X for a bit, and let the founders do their thing. And let’s cheer them on when they do

@anuragwho It’s always feel weird to me, sharing something meant for private conversation publicly. Feel like i am going to have a trust issue with the person. Maybe i am getting old 🥲

this is a unfortunate because you’re setting precedence for people to not be honest with you even in a 1-1 and private setting. shouldn’t do this because this behaviour is why you’ll get lied to by those around you coz they don’t want the headache of being honest and get mocked publicly for it.

Perplexity just casually rebuilt Mint. Mint died in March 2024 after 15 years because Plaid's data fees made every free user unprofitable. Intuit dumped 3.6 million users onto Credit Karma, which didn't even have budgeting. Now Perplexity connects the same Plaid APIs, pulls the same transaction data, and offers the same spending tracking. The math works this time because nobody's signing up for Perplexity to budget. They're signing up for search. Finance is a retention feature on a $20/month subscription, not a standalone product bleeding money on every API call. That's the structural reason AI companies keep eating vertical SaaS. The AI product already has the user and the subscription. Adding a vertical costs one Plaid integration. Building the vertical from scratch costs acquiring millions of users who won't pay. Mint spent 15 years trying to make personal finance a business. Perplexity made it a Tuesday afternoon feature launch.
Perplexity@perplexity_ai

Computer now connects with Plaid to link bank accounts, credit cards, and loans. Track spending in detail, build custom budget tools, and visualize your net worth alongside your investment portfolio.

@zachtratar @rabois @thisisfed That's like asking me, "Eight American soldiers dying was part of the plan? Be honest". You expect to sustain some losses during a military conflict. So far losses were minimal. Americans are only ramping up their bombing campaigns right now. Wait 10-20 days before commenting.

One President can open our nation’s border and purposefully mass release millions of unvetted illegal immigrants into the country. But the next President can’t remove them without obstruction, riots and legal hoops. If it continues, we have no sovereignty.

Bilt, under Ankur Jain's leadership, is voluntarily capping interest rates at 10% for a year. This is the type of leadership we need from the private sector. If Bilt can do it and be profitable, then we can cap interest rates at 10% for the industry. apnews.com/article/bilt-c…

In 2018, Amazon told Dallas we didn’t have the talent. They picked Virginia instead. Dallas took that personally. Amazon’s HQ2 search was the Super Bowl of economic development. 238 cities applied. Dallas made the top 20. The Wall Street Journal ranked us #1. We offered $600M in incentives. We lost anyway. Amazon’s feedback was direct: “Tech talent was the biggest driving factor. Both on day one, and in the future.” Low taxes. Low costs. Pro-business climate. None of it mattered without the workers. So Dallas went to work. What changed in 6 years: Dallas ISD built 25 P-TECH and Early College campuses. Students now graduate with a diploma plus 60 college credits. Cost to families: $0. The pipeline starts at age 14. Dallas College became the second-largest community college in America. 100,000+ students. Transfer pathways built to UT Dallas and UNT. UT Dallas Computer Science became one of the largest departments in the country. 4,500+ students. 2,800 internship placements per year. SMU received $30M to build a Data Science Institute. They’re now leading a federal initiative on semiconductor supply chains across 29 North Texas counties. The results: Between 2021 and 2024, Dallas posted the fastest tech talent growth of any large market in the US and Canada. Tech workforce: 227,220. Up 26% in three years. AI workers: 19,000. Austin has 12,000. Office rent: $32/sq ft. Austin is $48. Bay Area is $75+. Tech degree completions up 30%. Dallas now leads the nation in growth of college-educated workers in their 20s. Why this matters now: California has a wealth tax on the table. It may never pass. But founders aren’t waiting to find out. Some have already moved. Others are making quiet plans. When they evaluate alternatives, they’ll learn what Amazon taught us: Tax savings alone don’t close the deal. You need talent. Dallas spent 6 years building what Amazon said we lacked. The workers are here. The pipeline is built. And we’re still 40% cheaper than Austin. Amazon’s rejection cost Dallas billions. But it forced a transformation worth more in the long run. Dallas isn’t waiting for the next Amazon anymore. We’re ready.

@wealthpotion @RudyHavenstein No one is saying this is intentional btw. People just think that shooting to kill in this instance was unnecessary, the agent didn’t have the right training to deescalate correctly and chose the wrong option . How’s that for common ground?

I see. What do you mean “because he could”? That seems to imply that he wanted to shoot her, and took the opportunity when it presented itself? And that you don’t think he genuinely believed he was in harm’s way? I know this is all fruitless speculation but I am genuinely curious to understand the different views here - you seem to be a lot more reasonable than others critical of ICE.

AP classes should be banned. Instead of filling kids with useless knowledge we should let them date, play sports, work jobs, and learn about the real world. The answers to life aren’t in textbooks! Homework for 2 hours a day is a joke!

Absolutely insane that a major bank just collapsed for failing to meet their silver margin calls. A friend in NYC sent me this photo of the employees clearing out their desks this morning.

Google's Cursor competitor: FREE! My course for you to learn: FREE! My holiday gift to you 🎁 [⚠️ Comment "Antigravity" & I'll send you the link] Antigravity is Google's answer to Cursor. It's an AI tool that works directly on your device. Not just for developers! For ANYONE who works with text. It's 100% free right now. Access to Gemini 3 Pro. Even Claude Opus 4.5 (!) Use Nano Banana Pro right in the chat. No subscription. No trial. No credit card. This won't last forever. I've been teaching Cursor to PMs for months. But Cursor costs $20/month. Antigravity removes that barrier completely. So I rebuilt the entire course for AG. It's an Antigravity course taught IN Antigravity. So everything you do is directly applicable! The AI IN the tool is your teacher. What you'll learn: → Write PRDs with AI assistance → Analyze CSV data and survey results → Create strategy documents → Build reusable templates and workflows But here's what most people don't realize: This isn't just for PM work. The real reason I wanted to get this out today... On-device AI assistants are useful for LIFE: 🔹 Want to reorganize your files? 🔹 Rename hundreds of photos? 🔹 Clean up your Downloads folder? 🔹 Convert documents between formats? 🔹 Troubleshoot why something isn't working? Just open the files and ask. Talk to it like a person. I spend all day in these tools now. I've never been so productive. Or had so much fun. AI in a browser is like wearing a straightjacket. This is a terrible day for a launch. But I genuinely want to free you! You've been meaning to learn this stuff. You've got the time. The course is free. The tool is free. No excuses! This is my gift to you. Happy Holidays 🌲 👉 Repost + comment "Antigravity" & I'll send you the link
