Since Vivek is in the news again, I am forced to re-up my investigation into his tennis claims. TLDR, the only source for him being a nationally ranked player is him, and the press just repeats it without looking into it. Also, I'm aware that no one cares about this but me

The best computer science engineers in San Francisco tend to come from . . . Canada. Our trip to the place where vampires hang out.

@maxabelson Thank you. That's certainly how it felt reporting it as well.

Dan Bilzerian is willing to do whatever it takes to reclaim his vape company from his father — even if it means sending him to prison.

[Bloomberg @business]

Dan Bilzerian, an early Instagram superstar, got into the vape business with help from his father, a Wall Street legend and convicted felon. Then things got weirder. https://t.co/K61oA9pKup

Excited to be on @NYSE talking about our new launches with @SkyrootA and how we are creating a new category of space infrastructure

I've been storing this one for quite a while!

We now officially supply chemically pure grade methane in California with our partner @westairgases. Photos are with our first externalized six pack during the spring.

An insane amount of hard work went into making this happen. I try not to think too much about the blood sweat and tears of the last five years but this milestone makes it particularly sweet.

Terraform is hiring! If you're an ambitious technically minded savant, Terraform is an incredible place to get exposed to every aspect of building a hardware business from sales and hiring to design test and analysis!

These guys are about to send a giant mirror into space. Some people love the idea. Others hate it. But you can't deny that these two are extraordinary badasses and thoughtful humans.

"The people of San Francisco were quickly dubbed spiritually LinkedIn, unbearably cringe, totally sociopathic, and our biggest sin of all: we are ugly, so ugly . . . that we are doomed to die alone because we could not be more repulsive." https://t.co/yAKK6LNWdP

[Brendan Borrell @bborrell]

@ashleevance Quite a talented bunch you've got there

[Kylie Robison @kyliebytes]

i wrote a really cool story about some really crazy people

[Brendan Borrell @bborrell]

@geoffmanaugh You nailed it! Made me feel like I was 12 again and anything was possible.

[Brendan Borrell @bborrell]

Not The Boring Company.

"Their machine was the size of a school bus. It rested half-in, half-out of the ground like a whale’s back, a riotous beast of the deep now warming in the Illinois sun."

I'm hooked, @geoffmanaugh. Halfway through . . .

[Geoff Manaugh @geoffmanaugh]

Stoked to have new fiction out about two brothers in rural Illinois who build a tunneling machine from abandoned farm equipment, then set off together under the Mississippi. Part Mark Twain, part Jules Verne—the Wright Brothers of the American underground. https://t.co/7dMVO9nTGP
