Congrats to @JerLevine and the team. What can you say about Jeremy… the guy just has “it”. He has a vision and a way of making people believe the seemingly impossible is possible, and then executing.
IG Group Holdings plc announces that it has agreed to acquire Underdog!
Underdog CEO @JerLevine: “With our own exchange and by joining IG Group, we're going to take an incredible leap in what we can offer customers, and make Underdog the place to make predictions on sports, and beyond. IG Group’s scale, expertise, resources and reach are going to unlock our potential, expand what we've built, and bring our products to more audiences.”

News: Underdog sells to IG Group for up to $1.3 billion with "up to $850 million for eligible Underdog employees."
That's a lot of money

An API by any other name is still an API.
Unless you need to raise money for your AI startup, in which case I prefer MCP.

A few controversial opinions I have today that I think will be universally accepted in 20 years:
1) video games are horrifically addictive and ruining kids lives.
2) a lot of vaccines are totally unnecessary and are messing kids up really bad.
3) fluoride in water is a disaster. Filter it asap and get it out of your toothpaste too.
4) routine bloodwork and hormone optimization would keep all these 40 year old men from looking like blobs and 40 year old women sexually active with their husbands.
5) birth control for ladies is terrible for them and messing them up bad. Stop putting your 15 yr old daughters on them.
6) straight teeth is a no brainer investment. So many people could have 10x the confidence for $5k.
7) glyphosate is killing a ton of people.
8) large vehicles are 10x safer than small vehicles. Don’t put your wife or 16 year old in a sedan.
9) iPads for kids = crack cocaine and it is making them dumber because their attention span shrinks and they never want to play or read books. YouTube is also terrible for them because of shorts.
10) waiting till 35 to get married is a disaster. A lot of these folks are going to wish they had more kids and live with the regrets forever.
11) plastics are killing us. Polyester underwear, tea bags, cutting boards, microwavable meals in plastic (looking at 99.9% of schools and all the meal delivery services).
12) non stick pans cause cancer.
13) kids shouldn’t drink soft drinks ever. And I can’t believe parents buy fruity pebbles and pop tarts.
14) alcohol isn’t as bad as people think it is. When used in moderation it is a net positive.
15) Pitbulls should be banned.
16) recycling is a total scam and should be abolished.
17) sauna is very very healthy. Most people don’t sweat enough.
18) power lifting as a grown adult isn’t worth the damage to back and joints.
19) Long distance running isn’t healthy. More people should sprint.
20) heart disease is #1 killer in men by 10x. Yet nobody gets a heart workup at 35 or 45 or tracks lipid panels. They just wait till they need a bypass or it’s too late. Make it make sense!
21) a lot of my fat friends refuse to use GLP1s because of potential side effects. The side effects of being fat are 10x worse (because of #20). Wake up!
22) a normal, old fashioned business is 10x more likely to make somebody wealthy than a tech startup.
23) AI won’t change the world very much. People are over reacting today just like Elon when he told us we’d have full self driving cars by 2014. It is a long way off.
24) crypto outside of BTC is a total waste of time and electricity.
25) high school kids are numb and antisocial today. They aren’t interested in driving, sex, sports. They can’t talk to anyone and look them in the eye. It’s because they are medicated by social media and what we are feeding them. Also see #1 and #2.
If you can raise normal kids they are going to have an easier time than ever getting ahead in this world.
What’d I miss? How many of these do you agree with me on?
Yay @JerLevine & team 😍
We got our guy.

I couldn’t be more excited about Underdog. BBM IV's the largest fantasy contest ever. Our Pick’em games are wildly popular. Our new vision for sports betting comes soon.
@FanDuel & @DraftKings want to take all that away from you. You should know what they’re trying to do.

It ironically gives me so much trust in @X that they don't over engineer emails like this
They don't even number_format() the $306.6470857 to $306.65
I'm not joking, I think that's a positive signal, they're shipping fast and not caring about small details like this

Shopify deleted 12,000 meetings this year.
Today, they went a step further with a tool that shows the $$$ cost of holding meetings.
I spoke to @nejatian (Shopify's COO) about meeting bloat and protecting craft time.
