Another spy implant confirmed, this one looks like the v1.0 of the one I have here, meaning there were more iterations. xitter.cf/0xJohannes_/status/210…

Colorado has something awesome called the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Among other things, it protects a simple principle: everyone pays the same state income-tax rate. If your income doubles, your tax doubles. Seems reasonable, right? Amendment 87 would repeal that protection and nearly double the top marginal state tax rate while modestly reducing the lowest rates. Under the new rules, doubling your taxable income could mean a state income-tax bill nearly four times what you’d owe on your current income today. To me, this looks like a blatant attempt to buy votes: the majority votes themselves a tax break funded by much higher taxes on a small minority. And it hits startups especially hard. Founders and early employees often spend years building something before receiving a substantial payoff from selling their shares after an IPO or in an acquisition. A decade of work with no guarantee of success can produce a payout counted as income in a single year—and taxed at much higher rates. I’ve spent a decade building Boom in Colorado, on track to create hundreds of high-paying jobs. Colorado’s tax fairness was one reason I chose to build here. Now voters are being asked to change those rules and take a much larger share of a potential taxable payoff from that work. Should I have built Boom in Texas, which has no state personal income tax? Should the next ambitious founder choose Colorado or somewhere else? Colorado is at a crossroads. Do we want to stay true to our OG spirit of rugged independence, freedom, and fairness—or make Colorado a less attractive place to build? Punishing success is morally wrong and bad policy to boot. We should be celebrating the people who build new things and create new wealth for themselves and others. Their work gives us companies, products, and jobs. Let’s keep Colorado as one of the best places to live, build, create, and innovate—and to enjoy the rewards of our hard-fought efforts. I’m voting no on Amendment 87.

I’m very much not a mathematician. I dropped out of high school at 16. I took about half of sophomore year geometry before dropping out. I didn’t contribute any math to the paper. I mostly just told Claude variations of “keep going” and “believe in yourself”

The Origins of Corgi Cafe: "A huge problem with San Francisco is that everything closes really early. There are lots of startups that want to push themselves hard, but you can’t even find a cafe or a place to eat after 6:00 or 7:00 PM. It’s a ridiculous situation, clearly most restaurants don’t have a growth mindset." @nico_laqua Love to hear your thoughts on this @levelsio @davidu @jason @dhh

We’re treating this codebase like it’s under way more scrutiny than before, because it is. A year ago, rewriting an entire 700k LOC codebase in a new language in 6 days was impossible. Today, it doesn’t sound like it should work. And yet, it works well.

overton window recap: quantum computing is fictional tech quantum might be real but it's 20-30 years away. no urgency to do anything quantum is not a problem, but investors worried about quantum are a problem, so we might think about an upgrade someday quantum might be a problem but we will just adapt when it gets closer <--- YOU ARE HERE preparing for quantum will take years, and time to Q-day seems to be decreasing. we should start considering an upgrade quantum progress is nonlinear, private, and unknowable, but Q-day is likely within a decade so we have to bite the bullet and upgrade immediately under conditions of uncertainty despite the costs --- when we started, most of you were at the very top. now most of you are three or four notches down. most of you who were claiming QC is fictional or poses no risk have relented and grudgingly acknowledged it's a real concern. there are only a few holdouts in that camp. you can complain about me all you like, but i've seen you all move down the notches quite predictably. the overton window has shifted already. in a month or two you'll be at the bottom with me.
