WORLD RECORD!!!!🤯🤯

Josh Kerr 🇬🇧 has just broken the World Record in the mile, running a blazing 3:42.66 in front of a home crowd at the London Diamond League!

He takes down Hicham El Guerrouj's World Record of 3:43.13 set in 1999!

Today we are launching the public beta of Stripe Apps, a new way for developers to extend @stripe and build on top of our platform.

Some background on why we built Stripe Apps, what our platform enables you to build, and where we are headed.

🌟🆕 from the Stripe Docs lab: https://t.co/41U3IWaOdv. (Or hit ~ on any https://t.co/GilWO3FDj6 docs page.)

(1) Navigate docs directly. (Surprisingly useful.)
(2) Invoke Stripe CLI commands without leaving the page.

Reinforces my belief that more web apps should have consoles!

@chris_trag Devastating news - Im so sorry :(. Thinking of you and the family.

@jasonfried And it doesn't make any sense to say "some other companies leverage equity to work employees into the ground, therefore I would be forced to do the same thing." Why not give upside in your company and *not* do that? It's your company / your culture.

[David Petrovics @dpetrovics]

@jasonfried The message you send when you don't give employees equity is "I don't think we're going to be successful." Tons of talented people will not even consider working for you.

A programmer walks into a bar and orders 1.000000119 root beers. The bartender says, "I'm gonna have to charge you extra; that's a root beer float". And the programmer says, "Well in that case make it a double".

But will we be able to stow scooters on them? https://t.co/nt6MDYwV55

@ebroder @dylanvee Technically it could also end in a Big Crunch. Not sure which you’d prefer...

Falcon Heavy side cores have landed at SpaceX’s Landing Zones 1 and 2.

Imagine being a photon forged in the center of a star, crossing 93 million miles of space, hitting a cycad leaf in a Carboniferous jungle, being stored as chemical enrgy, being buried for 315 million yrs, being dug up burned & released again as waste heat in a bitcoin transaction

@sritchie @posco Slightly more opinionated stance: obsessing over appearances is what one does when theres no other easy way to signal competence in your job

@posco Not to be contrarian but when I was on Oahu for 3 months it had some of the worst morning rush hours. Heard Maui is way better though!

Moustache visible through the Shuttle’s window.
Interesting how rough-textured the thermal blankets and tiles were. Amazing spaceship to fly - this photo was taken from Mir.
