Yes please do this
One of San Francisco's largest redevelopment projects could completely transform nearly 19 acres of land near Downtown. Plans are moving forward for the redevelopment of the Caltrain Railyards at 4th and King in SoMa. The project could include: • Up to 5,834 apartments • Up to 5.6 million SF of commercial space • 160,000+ SF of retail • A completely rebuilt Caltrain station • More than 4 acres of public open space • Multiple skyscrapers reaching 350 to 600 feet • A potential 850-foot tower This land is currently occupied by railroad tracks, platforms, maintenance facilities and the existing Caltrain station. The proposal would modernize the transit infrastructure, relocate train storage and maintenance, and create an entirely new mixed-use neighborhood above and around the station. Thousands of people could be living, working, shopping and spending time in what is currently a massive rail yard. And all directly connected to one of the Bay Area's most important transit corridors. The project is now entering environmental review, with construction potentially starting in 2029 and taking 15 to 20 years to complete.... There's obviously a long road ahead, but I love seeing developers think this big about underutilized urban land. This could completely reshape SF. 📍San Francisco

It's rare to see founders acknowledge that their exit was disappointing. Kudos to @dens for his openness, for building a breakout product -- its 2009 SXSW is in the pantheon of buzziest launches ever -- and for keeping the FSQ flame lit for 17 years.
Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…

Business models that rely on customer inertia will be picked apart by agents, and the market knows it
For years, companies have benefited from customers sticking around simply because switching was too much work. AI agents are starting to change that.

When Bauers hit this ball in the 11th pitch of the AB, I jumped off my couch screaming and nearly passed out from the head rush. So awesome
FUCK THE DODGERS

Introducing multi-dimensional pricing in Airwallex Billing. You can now price usage differently based on dimensions like model, media type, processing mode, region, or any other attribute, all through a single meter and rate card.
