[tae kim @firstadopter]

Bloomberg: "According to people who’ve spoken with him in recent days, Huang has already taken a penitent turn, castigating himself as a “piece of sh--.” He claims not to care what happens to himself at this point. His main concern, he says, is his wife, and not “ruining the lives” of the multiple women now romantically linked to him in the public imagination." https://t.co/8YX8zNQX5f

Days before Christmas 2023, I emailed Jensen after an investor pulled out last minute. We didn’t have cash for payroll, and I was talking with bankruptcy lawyers.

Jensen called me at 6am. Later that day, I was having dinner with his team to bridge the company. Four months later, we rang the NASDAQ bell for our IPO.

Video shows a Waymo in San Francisco on I-280 speeding past traffic as the California Highway Patrol performs a traffic break. The Waymo is seen trying to go around the CHP patrol cars, even at one point turning its blinker on. For more information, https://t.co/PuIThxj4vj

[Everything Georgia @GAFollowers]

Atlanta friends dressed as Waymo self-driving cars for Halloween, and even the cops stopped to watch. One of them got stuck in a hedge. Obviously.
