@lkr I feel like it's one thing to tidy up a bit if it's mentioned in the house manual and there's no cleaning fee. If there's a cleaning fee, I shouldn't be expected to do anything.

@Shpigford I'd give @sendspark a go. @BethStachenfeld any tips on making an engaging video for Josh's use-case for Maybe?

@bpiatt @AUStinAirport @SATairport Are you heading over to Seattle? Come say hi!

@crtr0 EIA says the coal accounts for 5% of WA electricity generation with only one coal power plant remaining in the state. (Scheduled to close in 2025). I think PSE counts their Montana plan in their generation report? https://t.co/1Ydlw5kgum

@Noahpinion I wonder why interest rate relief is never on the table in these discussions? Instead of paying 5%+ rates, why not cap the interest to 0.5%? (Irrespective what happens with the $10k relief).

through her NATO dialogue with the leaders in the Nordics, Baltics and Brussels. She is also extremely popular, second only to the current president @niinisto. The next Finnish president is one of these two, and is probably followed by the other one.

[Jaakko Piipponen @JaakkoPiipponen]

@alexstubb for the next 12 years followed by @MarinSanna for the next 12. It's close, but my guess is Stubb getting the top job first due to his extensive experience in foreign politics - the #1 job of the president. That said, Marin is emerging as a skilled political leader 1/3

"The train has left the station and we're on our way to #NATO HQ."

Fmr Finnish PM @alexstubb discusses Russian threats, & security guarantees between #NATO application & entry.

who successfully led the country during one of the most difficult peace-time crises in 80 years. And that's putting it mildly - pick just about any covid metric you want. Marin is also gaining valuable foreign politics experience 2/3

@jpiippon @GlobalChangeBio Congratulations!!

@jimmy_daly Enjoyed the writeup, I bet this resonates with a lot of founders.

[Jaakko Piipponen @JaakkoPiipponen]

Constantly impressed by @CustomerIO ‘s execution and Colin’s way of communicating their vision.

[Colin Nederkoorn @alphacolin]

Hey. @customerio raised a Series A round of financing from Spectrum Equity.

Series A? Yup 🤷‍♂️. We raised a series seed ('13), series seed 2 ('17) and crowdfunding ('21). I didn’t have a better letter to use so we’re going with it.

@pandemicsyn Yeah I love their chopping axe! I was pleasantly surprised to find a small version of it from Ace Hardware and I now carry it while backpacking in the PNW.

[Jaakko Piipponen @JaakkoPiipponen]

Why does the scissor maker Fiskars target the low-end of the market? The brand is synonymous with high quality in Finland, but anecdotally, few people in the US have the same association. It’s just some orange pair of scissors made in China.

[Jaakko Piipponen @JaakkoPiipponen]

@kirbywinfield Then again, a more charitable take would be that some of the ‘read the room’ folks are affected by a sudden war in Europe. It’s not much they can do and it can be frustrating. Easy to ignore the rest or ppl virtue signaling.

[Jaakko Piipponen @JaakkoPiipponen]

@mwseibel @niinisto Obviously this isn’t a problem that SV can just “solve.” That said, those new types of defense companies are being born, and the future of warfare will be different vs when I was serving. I’d rather have the next Lockheed or Raytheon be found in the US or Europe than in Russia.

[Jaakko Piipponen @JaakkoPiipponen]

@mwseibel Finnish President @niinisto said the interests of top technology companies and the public sector are aligned [as it relates to defending against aggression]. It may not deter Putin today, but YC could collaborate with Pentagon to invest into responsible AI/drone startups.

[Jaakko Piipponen @JaakkoPiipponen]

@alphacolin Absolutely. We have planned to visit the famous bookstore in downtown but that’s the only thing in the itinerary! What’s the best time for you? (Moving to DM)

[Jaakko Piipponen @JaakkoPiipponen]

@LeslieFeinzaig Downtown at the Pioneer Collective Belltown. Cool vibes, family owned and has a lot of different types of spaces from private offices to desks to call booths and conference rooms.
