    I worked at Facebook when we had 200 employees I’ve never understood why FB needs 20,000 employees. And less so the 70,000 employees Meta has now @elonmusk’s Twitter layoffs are appropriate Unfortunate, but appropriate These businesses just don’t require that many people

    My politics: I’m basically a Bill Clinton era Democrat, circa 1999 Which, by todays standards, places me on the “right” Balanced budget, strong borders, skill-based immigration, pro-technology, socially liberal, unapologetically capitalist I’ve stood still, you sprinted left

    Totally unacceptable that the new iPhone can’t withstand an angle grinder, rotary sander and being smashed with a hammer What happened to quality control? 😤

    I say privatize it, and better yet: let us opt-out of receiving physical mail. I bet 30%+ of Americans would gladly opt-out. Send us an email, a text, a phone call, a carrier pigeon. Anything but physical mail. Alongside federal funding, the USPS gets a lot of its funding

    I once met Alex Honnold on a flight in Switzerland We chatted for about an hour. As we picked up our bags he asked me: “what do you do for a living?” “I invest in startups” He replied: “Isn’t that incredibly risky?”

    Steal ideas from nature. Evolution ran more A/B tests than you ever could.

    Miami: “Let’s build 20 new residential skyscrapers in one year!” SF: “Oh no! You can’t build here. This is a historic Nordstrom’s parking lot”

    I strongly agree with this point, but boy is it unpopular 😅😂 Let’s give Congresspeople $2M a year, Senators $6M, and Presidents $40M We’d likely save money on-net. Because now qualified people want to apply for those jobs

    Politicians should make significantly more money. The incentives are all wrong. Pay the President $40mil/year and see the candidates. No need for backroom deals or bribery.

    Even anonymized, I’d never post private texts like this from a job candidate Not everything has to be fodder for content. This was a polite decline, and I’m sure the person who sent it doesn’t feel great being put on blast like this

    If Elon winds up pulling this off & builds a leaner, more profitable & innovative Twitter… a lot of tech journalists’ #RIPTwitter tweets from tonight are going to look pretty silly But they won’t care. They’ll be too busy being faux-outraged at the next thing
