I lost my wife to cancer last month — our daughter lost her mother. I’ve hesitated sharing any of this, but there is something I want to record. Fair warning: this is mostly about love.

The U.S. must not provide $10 billion in military aid for Netanyahu's right-wing government to conduct their horrific war against innocent Palestinians. 

Read my letter to President Biden asking him to stop funding this war and to support UN efforts for a humanitarian ceasefire.

Everyone who thinks the world could just stop using fossil fuels on the snap of a finger should have a look at this chart. More than 80% of the world's energy supply presently comes from oil, gas, and coal, and that number has barely changed in the past decade.
Of course we will…

If you're a founder with less than ~12 months of runway going into 2024, you have to re-read Paul Graham's The Fatal Pinch.

Assume you will NOT get a bridge round, and figure out what other options you have ASAP.

WOW: Harvard claimed it initiated a probe of Gay’s work when it learned about the examples of plagiarism.

Instead, it used Clare Locke, the top defamation law firm in the US, to threaten the journalists who brought those examples to the school’s attention.nypost.com/2023/12/12/new…

there is a parellel here with ebikes. research shows that they don't make people lazier or less fit; folks cycle *more*.

seems plausible that generative ai won't make folks intellectually shiftless but in fact more enterprising and ambitious.

Beeper testified at a hearing I held on the impact of monopoly power on innovation, and now we are seeing that impact in real time. Apple is blocking their app that increases choice and convenience. We must pass my bipartisan legislation to stop this anticompetitive abuse.

Coinbase Wallet now has a simple mode that focuses on payments. For instance, it lets you send USDC on Base free, instantly, globally.

We'll try experimenting with this as the default mode in frontier markets for easier onboarding. People can always flip to advanced when ready.

I don't know how things are in America, but at 14 yo's school in England the fashion is mullets that look like lap dogs. You could imagine legs popping out the bottom and the whole thing walking away.

In 2011 this guy was selling phone systems to dental practices and 9 years later had grown it into a BILLION dollar business.

But he didn't even get an invite to the company's IPO...

This the crazy story of Weave:
