Imagine paying 40B for a business and letting it rot. Now that's FU money.

We got featured in @Forbes Because the only thing growing almost as fast as AI startups is the burden of complying with global sales tax laws. Hopefully this will finally convince my parents that I have a real job and don't need to go back to working in grocery stores. 🫡 H/T to @venture_dm for reaching out + his thoughtful research

Is it just me or you can't get most extensions for @brave anymore? The 1 password extension takes you to the chrome store that tells you to "switch to Chrome"

Hence “climate change” not warming, cooling, drying, etc. It’s all of the above all at once sometimes, depends where, but always more extreme.
Is it just me or past a certain engineering org size, most problems are infrastructure related?
Turns out, Covid is not over and it still sucks! Thanks science for vaccines cause I can’t imagine making it through that shit without all the help.

news.ycombinator.com/item?id… I wonder how Amazon still has a healthy new hire pipeline sometimes. High risk of landing in a team with a manager that can make/break your work-life is scary to me. Granted it can happen anywhere to some extent, but they seem especially known for it

Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls. One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails. Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)
US national security establishment originally started to hate Assange for releasing a video of American helicopters killing reporters and children.

So while Trump was talking about how he loved Wikileaks in 2016, he and his administration were plotting to kidnap or kill Assange. The amorality and malleability of Trump and his movement is beyond anything else we’ve seen in politics. news.yahoo.com/kidnapping-as…
