Jake Dickert was fired up about the lack of respect shown to WSU on ESPN this morning saying Lee Corso called today’s game the “No one watches Bowl” This is 1:32 well worth your time to hear Coach fight for his team

They have these pillows everywhere in X offices and they call the symbols the double-X (left) and the round-X (right).

“The reason Silicon Valley is so successful is because it’s so f’n far from DC.”

Must watch talk by @bgurley. Here’s the TL;DR:

When the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was passed, it brought the entire startup telecom industry to zero.

When Dodd-Frank was passed in 2010, it brought the number of new banks per year to zero.

When the Health Info Tech Act was passed on 2009, it entrenched Epic’s marketshare and drove competitors out of business.

When the US regulated rapid COVID tests, the result was 20x fewer providers and 6x higher costs than western peers.

And you think the result will be any different when we regulate AI and other technology??

We’re empirically unbelievably bad at regulating, and regulatory capture is here for tech. The big tech and AI incumbents are pushing to restrict the playing field. Get your head out of your a**.

“Regulation is the friend of the incumbent…. leading to a net loss for society.”

Most people live their lives in between these 2 emotions-

1- Hope that if they achieve something, they will find happiness.
2- Fear that if they lose what they have, they will never be happy.

The day you understand neither of them are actually true is the day you are free.

70,000 people trapped in a desert by extreme rain, running out of food, with rumors of disease spreading, and porta-johns overflowing - but determined to keep the party going, is such a great metaphor for our civilization right now.

A new @NatlParkService report finds that spending in communities near parks last year resulted in a historic $50.3 billion economic benefit and supported 378,400 jobs. https://t.co/PyxeolaNhQ

You don't need a $1BN outcome. You can get a lifechanging amount of money bootstrapping a company in 3-5 years.

Woah. This is not good. Kochova better figure this out quick.

There's a new crypto scam on google

Scammers will buy an ad for a proper crypto website on google, with the proper URL

Then when users click on it they get sent to an ad network (https://t.co/k5azsHhC2s) to track the click, but that network redirects to a scam site instead!

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, we announced visitor spending in communities near national parks contributed a record $50.3 billion to our economy, supporting 378,400 jobs.

Protecting these lands isn't just good for our planet, it's good for the families that surround them and our nation’s economy.

Are you ready for the most advanced misinformation ever seen in history?

Before there was a PayPal mafia or LinkedIn or Google mafia, there was the Fairchild mafia and it was pretty badass

If you want to make money from your own company or from working for someone else's, the high bit of advice is the same: learn to build things.

"Democrats in Sacramento plan to ask voters next year for approval to borrow $15 billion more to reduce homelessness. Only a progressive could imagine that will this work any better than the last tens of billions."
