Very disappointed with the new @SwarmApp - how could a major update be so bad? I would say I am a power user with maybe 10s of thousands of check ins world wide. What used to be 3 seconds is now so hard. I am sitting inside Jason’s Deli and only after manually searching did I find it.

SpaceX aiming for 3 launches today! One Eutelsat, which just reached orbit, and 2 @Starlink missions.

A camera guy opting to follow Big Dom to the locker room over Dre Greenlaw is laugh out loud funny to me.

Like, some producer in the broadcast truck yelling, “NO, STICK WITH DOM, FORGET GREENLAW!” is hilarious

Big Dom hates the spotlight. You’re in it now, big man. Merch gonna be flying off the shelves tomorrow.

My first act as President is going to be to build 10 new cities in America with one million housing units in each.

Completely planned cities with exceptional affordability, walkability, sustainability, and exceptional amenities that bring joy to kids, elders, and the working class supporting them.

If MBS can do it in the Kingdom, we can do it in America. We only need the will.

Hey @Calendly and @CalendlySupport tried to create an account and after logging in via Google it hangs on this site. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting, Incognito mode, clearing temp internet files, even Edge instead of Chrome! What gives?

Anyone else seeing drastic damaged battery life after upgrading to #iOS17 #battery ?

More firms are incubating companies as early-stage valuations rise.

A few successes:

Our latest Signature Block essay is on venture studios...

my favorite thing about miami is the skyline filled with cranes

and it shows up in the numbers

miami has new units under construction that represent the equivalent of 17.5% of the TOTAL inventory

I’m not an Elon fanboy, but it’s astounding to me how much the media now despises him. He really is Public Enemy #1.

In this case, @nytimes is subtly attacking him for… sharing Tesla’s charging infrastructure.

“Control of critical infrastructure,” “mercurial leader.” Seriously?

Elon took a massive risk and made a major investment in critical charging infrastructure when NO ONE else was willing to do so. He could just keep it exclusive for Tesla and tell all the other OEMs that they’re on their own. Tough shit.

But he’s not doing that. He’s allowing his largest domestic competitors to use Tesla’s network, which is likely saving them tens of billions of dollars in capex and significantly accelerating their EV sales.

Yet the New York Times wants to cast him as basically a villainous robber baron here?

What’s the real agenda? Because this just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

When Lucy Guo told me she ran a 4:50 mile, I knew we were about to have very different experiences at Barry’s Bootcamp. It was a little after 8 a.m. when a black van dropped Guo off at Barry’s, the favored workout studio of Miami Beach tech moguls. Read More...
