@aboodman @khoslaventures I know exactly who that was.

@runaway_vol Kraftwerk!

@typesfast Would you have the time series / annual data since 2016? And why flat when it’s gone down from 250 to 39?

[Lars Kamp @l1rs]

@thomasschiavone I don’t code anymore. 👋

@SiuLangLang @MitAktien Und funktioniert so gut wie nie. Zudem vollkommen oversubsribed, und langsamer als dial up, wenn die Verbindung dann doch mal geht.

Oh man, I could tell you stories. Even if you have a C-Corp with a German subsidiary, you still have to go through the notary loop of pain.

Raising another note?
Back to the notary.

Topping off with venture debt?
Back to the notary

Growth round?
Back to the notary.

It may cost a little more in the beginning, but it’s much smarter to form a C-Corp and hire your talent in Germany through an employer of record like Deel, and avoid company formation all together.

Fun story - when my wife joined me in SF from Germany after she got her Green Card, I took her to 54 Mint for lunch.

At the table next to us where @jack and @roelofbotha - and I told my wife that she hadn’t been 24h in SF, and she’s already witnessing a venture deal going down.

My impression was that the deal was very competitive. I maybe wrong, but I distinctly remember how to me, it looked more like Roelof was trying to convince Jack to take Sequoia’s money, vs Jack trying to convince Roelof to invest.

[jack @jack]

roelof is one of the greatest of all time. both as a VC lead, and as a friend. grateful i get to spend time with him.

@tonilopezmr @sama @garrytan There’s an error in the code, in the middle part.

@SFMTA_Muni @PayByPhone Finally working again!

[Lars Kamp @l1rs]

Has the @PayByPhone app stopped working for SF @SFMTA_Muni?

The app doesn’t work for any of the downtown stations.

[Lars Kamp @l1rs]

@SFMTA_Muni @PayByPhone Thank you for the update! App is updated, and that’s actually what triggered it. Ever since the update the app has stopped working.

[Lars Kamp @l1rs]

@SFMTA_Muni @PayByPhone Both. It started with a particular meter (420-00008), then the meters on Drumm & Washington. Then I started to zoom out and saw absolutely no meters in the app.

[Lars Kamp @l1rs]

@SFMTA_Muni @PayByPhone Thanks for the quick reply. Here’s another more specific example, the location on Fremont & Mission doesn’t show.

@CEOLufthansa please do something about your web and mobile app login experience.

If you want to know what’s wrong and what’s to be fixed, just search for “Lufthansa login” here on X.

[Lars Kamp @l1rs]

@ForrestPKnight @dhh This is not wrong!

You also need “time” because the dough needs to rise - and that’s not something a lot of bakeries (or pizza places) are willing to do. If you see a pizza place that claims to make fresh daily dough, run the other way.

Now, you can find all three in the US, La Boulange proved it in SF. But then there’s the fourth one, which is “culture” - do people appreciate it AND are willing to pay $8 for a single croissant?

If you get 24 croissants for the same $8 at Costco, and frankly those croissants are not bad (just don’t read the ingredients) - you will lose the average consumer.

There’s a bakery in SF on Arguello and Clement that has a line around the block every weekend - literally. Their croissants are so good. You’d think they could even raise prices with how long the lines are.

@garrytan I’m way ahead of you….

Yes, he will be. They’ll issue a birth certificate in the hospital. There’s a room in every hospital that has a terminal with access to government systems where they record the birth and then print the certificate.

Access to that room is guarded, and it’s usually located within the Labor & Delivery Unit, at least that’s the case here in SF with CPMC. That way only the parents of newborns have access, and not the general patient population.

The father (and it’s the father because mom is in bed exhausted from labor) goes and gets the certificate.

That’s how it worked for me.
