    When I was a kid I used to open the fridge, find nothing I wanted, wander around the kitchen a bit, then repeat. I feel like my life hasn't changed much, except now Twitter is my fridge.

    I don’t understand car racing as a sport, but if this were a league, I would buy the streaming package.

    Some kid puked in the row behind us on our last flight and everybody did their best to help the poor parents. Most people are pretty allright.

    If Jack tricked Elon into buying the company for $44B with A16Z’s money and then tricks him into turning it onto a $400M asset sale so he can buy it outright, I will be very impressed.

    This is like bragging you’re in important negotiations when you’re standing on a bridge threatening to jump and are surrounded by 50 first responders trying to talk you down.

    God grant me the budget to buy the things I shouldn't build, the eng team to code the things I must, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    Interesting cognitive bias: All VCs think everyone investing earlier than themselves is a monkey throwing darts, & everyone after a banker.

    Former President Obama speaks in Milwaukee: "I'm hoping you think it's wrong to hear people spend years, months, vilifying people, questioning their patriotism, calling them enemies of the people. And then suddenly you're concerned about civility. Please." cnn.it/2Ps1BjK

    When people say things like this, do they imagine that conservatives won’t trust the AI’s code snippets or recipe suggestions because it can’t think of anything nice to say about Donald Trump? What is the cost of “damaged credibility” to the business beyond angry tweets?

    Just spitballing here: what if we rebranded naps as sleep micro-dosing and marketed them as a productivity hack to SV over-achievers. 🤔

    I agree. The vast majority workers want to be effective and supported professionally in an ethical env. This will be rough for people who want an activist job on a tech person’s salary, but life is about choices. If you want to get paid to be an activist, join a non-profit.
