we missed our entire YC batch to build in Ukraine.

we went from idea to field testing, landed $500M in LOIs, and sold 45 units to a special forces unit

all in 8 weeks.

some things you just can’t build in SF

Every beheading on Western soil is a provocative act of raw subjugation and thus, a declaration of war.

To sever a head is a kind of psychological conquest, a deliberate humiliation designed to break the spirit of the host population, broadcast supremacy, and signal that the old rules no longer apply.

The left-leaning politicians and journalists say “don’t be divisive.” But what’s divisive is the blade that divided a head from a body, turning a human being into a trophy, a warning, and a desecrated symbol of a defeated civilization.

This is siege warfare by other means.

“We are here. We own this ground now. Submit or bleed.”

Beheadings declare total enmity and total dominance. They reject you and your way of life, your decency and your proud history, and replace them with medieval spectacle and religious terror.

After Lee Rigby (and Samuel Paty), the hammer should have fallen in the form of mass deportations, borders enforced, and zero tolerance for crime and third world behaviors.

Instead, Tories and Labour chose surrender. They opened the gates even wider, gaslit their own people, and let the siege deepen.

Enough.

In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree.

Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling.

Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time.

Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds.

Not a guess. Not a theory.

A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it.

Samsung TVs: every minute.
LG TVs: every 15 seconds.

Even when you're just using it as a monitor.

Here's how to turn it off for every brand:

Waymo is so good at saving lives that if it were a new drug in trial, it would hit the bar for being unblinded and made immediately available to the control group for ethical reasons.

“Do you know what the #1 dream was for kids in 1971? Astronaut. We’d just gone to the moon. That’s a great dream.”

“You know what the #1 job that kids most want today is? It’s social media influencer, professional gamer, YouTuber.”

“The problem is—you can’t tell kids to follow their dreams, when their dreams suck.”
