In todays Deutsche Bahn adventures:

ICE trip from Berlin that should take less than 5 hours (for ~480km; that’s what we call “high speed trains” here and already an embarrassment) gets rerouted (~200km detour) and bloats to ~8 hours.

What are we doing here?

About Sequoia closing their London office:

No US firm has ever deeply cared about Europe on a firm level. There are people in charge (for a time) who might, there are people on the team who do.

Prices go high in SF, people expand their reach to Europe. Market contracts, people are ‘back to the essence’. There are other reasons, mostly personal for individual partners, that wax and wane similarly.

It doesn’t matter.

Just keep building in Europe. If you make this event a watershed moment about our continent and ecosystem, you never really had the conviction.

This place is hundred times better than it was 20 years ago, and it will be hundred times better 20 years from now.

Read up on the Learjet accident, overspeed stall and mach tuck.

Think I’ll add “Never fly a Learjet” right below “Never fly helicopter with a teetering rotor hub” on my list.

Frog put the keys in the HSM. "There" he said "now we cannot leak the private key". "But our servers can ask the box to sign with the key" said Toad.
"that is true" said Frog

Ladies & Gentlemen, we have managed to get the @EUCouncil ' EU Inc files. The ones that matter. The ones where we see the position of Each Member state: including who pushed the notaries' agenda.

Buckle up and Repost. 🍿 Now if you are from those Member States, make some noise.

Directly or through associations, politicians. Enjoy the thread 🧵 1/

“Pretty early on I realized that quite a few VCs, they are not very operational, and they can be actually dangerous for the company if they have enough power. So every single investment round, we just remove VCs. Now I don't have any VCs on the board. I think that's the best.”

@pepicrft That would make a good old fashioned blog post!
