An atrocious bill where sentators failed to listen to their constitutients, and have singled handedly worked to crush the very source of California's rise to prominence as the center of technical excellence.

Imagine if we'd created an arbitrary line in the sand for 4K of RAM or

This is such an awful bill.

Weiner chooses to listen to two Canadian academics and a fringe group in Berkeley over many Ca. voices who will have to deal with this nonsense.

This is absolutely anti little tech, anti open source, and anti AI research and innovation.

I thought this was a really good thread comparing Rippling's original investor memo from our series A, vs the latest version today.

judah The reason I don't is that I know so much more than has been said publicly about this investigation. It was a textbook case of regulators driven by ideology and personal animosity.

Consent decrees with the gov often require that you 'neither admit nor deny' the allegations - meaning you cannot legally dispute the gov's version of events. It's a seemingly clear 1st amendment violation which, as a side effect, protects officials from criticism from people

Who are the politicians responsible for allowing this shut down to drag on for hours? Is it state or local? Are there any reporters/others investigating?

We are thrilled Rippling not only decided to stay in San Francisco, but they are expanding by 4x in Downtown SF.

We are building a stronger, more resilient city and continuing to lead the country in innovation & tech. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

Surprised David Sacks hasn't congratulated Putin to his hard-earned election victory. What a lack of civility

Thanks to our amazing customers and team, year two was a big one for us 😎

Today we’re excited to announce an additional $20M in funding from Theory VC and the addition of former Looker CRO, Lambert Billet to our board!

Parker Conrad Put off Rippling way to long

2 weeks into onboarding and already seeing the difference

Truly will reshape a lot of internal operations and processes

It's this or craft ventures has a bunch of russian-state-adjacent LPs, or David thinks that spewing this nonsense is going to get him the cabinet-level-position he wants in the Trump administration. David is ever-useful, but not an idiot.

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most

Yes.

Astonishing stat: companies that don’t use Rippling have twice as many people in HR-IT-Fijance than those that do

For companies over 1,000 employees, it’s 46 people who don’t vs 28 for those that do

“Rippling makes your company more operationally excellent.” —Parker Conrad

Really impressed with this post & the speed at which Carta adjusted. Carta's an amazing company and we at Rippling are very happy customers.

US politicians are extremely out of touch with talent in tech. There is a belief that if you cap immigration, jobs stay. The opposite happens. Jobs go elsewhere, tax dollars are lost, local economies suffer, and when that talent builds the next Google or Apple, it won’t be here.

If this is true, it's appalling.

Time for OpenAI 2.0, Rippling style.
