LA hates restaurants
Beethoven Market got their liquor license revoked because someone who bought their Mar Vista House for 7 strawberries and a pack of gum was so upset about the "noise" they filed 49 complaints
It's a beautiful restaurant and it's great for the area. WTF
Some of this is just timing. Trump EPA eliminated start-stop reset. 2015-2025 were the dark years. But agree most designers don’t use product, things like Porsche not having start stop or garage physical button. They clearly don’t park in a garage or live in US. I would love to see the Rivian seat heat/cool algorithm for which icon they show. It’s completely random even though the car knows current AC settings.
@DrAndyGalpin If the data is rerun for VO2 per lean kg body mass do the values normalize? Fat mass is only
Contributing to the denominator. I’ve often wondered if this is a better metric even in men to calibrate on “sufficient” capacity. Then one can focus on body composition.
I couldn’t be more proud of my former partners at Slow Ventures for being Time Magazine’s 170th best venture capital firm in the world. Excited to have played a small part.
@nikillinit Post data about error rates. This works for hospitals even if it’s not widely used. Let people compare data and the market will determine the outcome.
I would’ve totally done this when I was younger. As a teenager I used to wake up before school because the online game servers were faster. So much more productive.
We raised $60M for this moment: Introducing Slash Global USD (in partnership w/ @base).
It's the first banking platform that lets you open a USD account without an LLC, EIN, or the rampant account closures they call "account safety".
It took major legislative changes AND 3 years to pull this off.
Here's what makes it so different:
1. Banking without an LLC. Before Slash: You needed a LLC, $1K in fees, a virtual address, and a U.S. tax ID. With Slash you get a real U.S. account & routing number in ~10 minutes with your foreign documents.
2. No more hefty fees. PayPal charges a 3-4% conversion fee. We let you receive USD and crypto (USDC) with NO fees. Not enough? We pay you up to 4.5% cash rewards just for holding your money with us.
3. Account freezes. The big guys love flagging success as “fraud”. We're built for fast moving founders. We'll never wrongfully freeze your funds. I'm putting my money where my mouth is: If we do, I'll wire $10K to a charity of your choice.
------------------------------
In 2021, I dropped out of the number 1 school in America as a Venezuelan immigrant to build Slash. I pivoted the business 2x before getting our first customer.
Today:
- 3,000 businesses use @slashapp
- We bought the domain Slash . com for $1M
- $4B is spent on our credit cards every year
And we just raised $41M from the people who built fintech: @MenloVentures@NEA@ycombinator@goodwatercap
--------------------------------
To celebrate this launch, we're giving away our internal AI finance Agent free.
It watches your bank accounts 24/7. Flags double charges. Cancels forgotten subscriptions.
It saved us $39,000 last month.
You don’t need a Slash account. It works with any bank.
Retweet + comment “Slash” and I’ll send you a free access link.
A pilot won a $2,500,000 private jet from MrBeast after spending 100 days inside it. He had the chance to win an extra $500,000 by staying another 100 days but chose to be with his family instead
@yishan If you read The Warren Buffet Way it’s all about executives and founders and leader vetting. Amazing they were able to do this so early but amazing outcome.
