San Francisco must REFUND the Police not continue to DEFUND the Police. Our Police need to be empowered now — not this new terrible decision to end pretext stops. Our SFPD and Sheriffs are the absolute key to a safe and clean San Francisco every day. SFPD must be returned to >2000 officers within 18 months from <1400 where it has been allowed to fall, and the police force must be fully empowered to enforce ALL laws. Compensate ALL city employees to recruit the best officers in the country. Reward and recognize them for hiring the absolute best now. San Francisco Police Academy must be expanded for hiring surge. All laws must be fully enforced. Police must be fully funded. The DA's office must prosecute to the fullest level of the law. Return Safety to retail business and residential properties NOW. DISTRICT BY DISTRICT - Police officers need to be enabled to protect assigned districts and rewarded & measured for their effectiveness. Metrics for effectiveness need to be clearly defined and transparent. Let’s institute a Neighborhood Policing model in San Francisco, safety District by District. We can and must do more now with our police force. ❤️❤️👮‍♀️👮🚔🚓🚔❤️❤️ https://t.co/mHi7CDAOga

There’s data suggesting the interval between initial ability to detect Covid by PCR and later by antigen test has lengthened; perhaps because more people have immunity, so it takes virus longer to replicate in mucosa and reach sufficient levels to generate a positive antigen test

6 years ago I joined a 20-person startup.

I wanted to quit after my first week, but I didn't.

Now our company is worth over $1B and has 200+ employees.

Here's what I've learned about succeeding at a startup:
