@MikeSilagadze Had many of these:
1. Their LinkedIn has low connection count. Also profile tends to 404 after months
2. Ask for number and work email of past colleagues (who still work there). They never can.
3. They can do interview at any hour of any day with no pushback.
When I worked at Dyson I heard a story James would claim the iMac G3 was inspired by the DC02. Steve Jobs told him to stop. So James forwarded him Jony Ive's email saying it was true.

Natural conclusion of this is Apple releasing an Agent app on iOS that securely communicates to your mac or mac server where a local modal runs trained on how to navigate the mouse and your data while taps into a low-level/latency screen feed so it can skip higher layers.
Today, weโre releasing a feature that allows Claude to control your computer: Mouse, keyboard, and screen, giving it the ability to use any app.
I believe this is especially useful if used with Dispatch, which allows you to remotely control Claude on your computer while youโre away.

This could be baked into stablecoins directly - merchant agrees to receive 10 installments of USDC but your crypto wallet invests it in lending market over that period and you collect and share the yield with wallet, merchant and yourself that they wouldn't have gotten otherwise
Just the start. Higher rates make newer fintech plays viable.
In Brazil, Nubank gives cardholders a ~1% discount if they pay off their 10-month installments early.
Customers front Nubank the money, Nubank invests it, pays the installments themselves and pockets a spread.
Good post on evolving stablecoin market structure. I would extend it further: yes, I think that stablecoin issuers are going to have to share yield with others, but this is just one instance. Everyone is going to have to share yield. Today, the average interest on US savings deposits is 0.40% (FDIC data), and $4T of US bank deposits earn 0% interest.* Things aren't better in the EU: 0.25% average interest on non-corporate deposits; corporate deposits just 0.51%.** In my view, this is going to change: depositors are going to (and should!) earn something closer to a market return on their capital.
(Some lobbies are currently pushing, post-GENIUS, to further restrict any kinds of rewards associated with stablecoin deposits. The business imperative here is clear -- cheap deposits are great -- but being so consumer hostile feels to me like a losing position.)

Tried to raise in 2010 - ghost town. Got ~2 meetings and laughed out the room.
Felt like all the dot-com era founders who made some money had ploughed most of it into UK/Spanish property and very few if any startups.
Tried raising in 2016 - better but still not there, super risk-averse.
Raised in 2021 - was 100x better. Still not SV but @mattjackrob@soundboy@matthewclifford etc were a breath of fresh air.
@eddylazzarin@haydenzadams Echos what @boztank said about Thrift's development on @lennysan podcast - over-optimized on encoding at cost of devex when bandwidth & storage would get cheaper anyways.
