David's piece makes a ton of great arguments for why recording meetings helps compound an organization
That being said, I strongly believe that individuals should also have the ability to opt out of being recorded - especially in non-work settings
If you're working on devices that make people "recording-proof" (ie interfere with any unwanted or unknown recordings), I'd love to talk. In particular, I'd be keen to be an early adopter
It wouldn't be crypto if there weren't at least one thing every few years that makes you wonder if it'll go to zero
(narrator: it never actually goes to zero)

New Limit just raised $435 million. This is, in part, because they've had a massive breakthrough on reversing the age of the liver with their new brand of genetic reprogramming drugs.
For the first time, NewLimit's co-founder and president Jacob Kimmel details the company's breakthrough here.
We also get into the longevity and bio-tech fields more broadly to explain where aging science and AI are heading.
If nothing else, come to see some mice get drunk.
The Core Memory podcast is available wherever you pod, and I'll put the YouTube link down below in the replies.

When I think about whatβs at the heart of Variant, the guiding force has always been deep thematic development.
Core to our DNA are themes like permissionless markets, composable software, and the commercialization of open source systems. Many of these can be found within the world of crypto, but weβre increasingly seeing them play out on new frontiers as well. The specific technology is an implementation detail.
What matters most are products & services that broaden market access, expand the set of available capabilities, and deepen the ways in which individuals and organizations can own their money and data. We believe these are large markets with strong tailwinds. Extremely excited to have $222M in fresh capital to back entrepreneurs building toward these goals!
