Till date, I’ve received 3 acquisition offers for https://t.co/hJPBhtaugS, and their only motive behind all of them was to monetize it. I know the potential this product has, and I swear I’m never going to charge people just to use it. PRIVACY SHOULD BE FREE, NOT A LUXURY.
@mehdirhasan@Alonso_GD There are parallels in cricket - swing pitches vs spin pitches. One can’t control for all factors. Got to play the conditions if you want to be a world champion.
@deedydas@pitdesi Ran the scenarios on this with a series A 5Mn @ 50Mn valuation. Fund multiple goes to 4X with all other assumptions being the same. But drop the rev to valuation multiple at the time of going public down to ~4.5x (current average for listed B2B saas), and the numbers r still bad
How to read this chart: the typical Belgian earns as much as the typical Californian but works about 24% less. Pretty smart move to calculate such data for the “bottom 95%” only. Worth exploring further.

In the future, there will be much more challenging situations of this nature, and it will be critical for the relevant leaders to rise up to the occasion, for fierce competitors to put their differences aside. Good to see that happen today.
@kaiser_kenny@hasanthehun This person has lived here for almost 3 years now, and lived in the US for 5. And will totally vouch for @hasanthehun 's sentiments.
@waitbutwhy@waitbutwhy - would you at least consider updating your post instead of saying "EVERY post on Bluesky ...". Clearly it is not the case as others have already shared as replies. It paints the wrong picture and i'm sure you don't mean it that way. It is anecdotal.
@kareem_carr Couldn't this be explained by an overall shift downwards across all buckets? So the middle remains the same overall (weakly approve/disapprove), while the ends show significant change (strongly approve/disapprove).
@tsarnick Weird flex by Benioff at the worst time.
Huang: We are approaching maybe 100 thous...
Me: Jaw dropping at the scale of the number
Benioff: That was our neighbor in Hawaii 🤡
