@chamath @chamath How do you unpick the thorny problem of the RoFR and the fact that for 90% of buyers, including institutional investors, most companies have zero interest in allowing change of ownership. Hence the use of series LLC’s, second and third layer SPV’s and performance swaps.

@andrecb1 Andre, I hope more and more people experience @WildEarth. Whether one has been on Safari or not, watching wildlife in live time, in an interactive environment, is always a life changing event. Nothing does more for my mental health than being transported to being in nature.

[Andre Crawford-Brunt @andrecb1]

Today marks a great day in the history of WildEarth, namely our launch on Freeview channel 91 in the U.K. after a few years in the making. The story of WildEarth makes most thrillers look pedestrian and it’s fair to say our company has had more lives than the luckiest cat.

From Graham and Emily Wallington’s first idea of putting a camera on the back of a safari vehicle over a decade ago WE has evolved from a small YouTube channel into the largest Safari vehicle in the world 🌍 taking over 7million unique global viewers every month on daily virtual Sunrise and Sunset Safaris. This journey has not been an easy one, involving many hard and sometimes painful (including a few very poor) decisions, and multiple sacrifices, both personal and financial by many, but also one of the most rewarding in my life.

A common goal has continued to motivate and inspire those of us who have been on and continue on this journey, firstly that as many people as possible should be able to enjoy the pleasure of going on an African safari and a secondly a deep belief that by falling in love with nature people will be more compelled to conserve it. Nature truly has healing powers.

To our Explorers, partners and those of you who have supported us with advice, time and capital, thank you, and to our new viewing family joining us in the U.K.,welcome. When you discover channel 91 we promise to take you on a journey you will never forget!

We love our country 🇿🇦 and WE is proudly South African team employing amazing creative and talented South Africans, I am very proud of all of you for the sacrifices you make everyday as well as for your commitment and energy. This would not have happened without you. You know who you are.

WildEarth - taking African stories to the world 🌍

@RitchieGarth @lawse Somehow I never see myself as being so short …..until I see photos like this. 😂. Great to see you both @RitchieGarth @lawse

@Sandford_Police I believe the gleaming and iridescent paintwork of the white car, has impeded the vision of the poor cyclist. This has caused him to over apply the front brake and clearly created the dangerous situation.
The motorist needs to be charged with “excessive vehicular polishing”.

Today’s launch proved Relativity’s 3D-printed rocket technologies that will enable our next vehicle, Terran R. We successfully made it through Max-Q, the highest stress state on our printed structures. This is the biggest proof point for our novel additive manufacturing approach. Today is a huge win, with many historic firsts. We also progressed through Main Engine Cutoff and Stage Separation. We will assess flight data and provide public updates over the coming days. #GoodLuckHadFun

7 years ago, I remember at @ycombinator our mentor @sama told us we were absolutely crazy for trying to simultaneously invent a brand new manufacturing technology and an orbital rocket, which is already super hard. Now we are on the launch pad almost ready to go with the world’s first 3D printed rocket. It’s been a truly wild ride to get to this point, and certainly way harder than I ever imagined going into it - but all the feels from me and our team as we embark on this historic launch. There is a very bright future ahead for @relativityspace ! (and fwiw Sam says he’s a big fan now 👾)

Producing enough tritium is one of the big engineering challenges of fusion. There is a limited menu of reactions available, which means you have to be very efficient in capturing neutrons for tritium production. Read more here! #fusion

New blog post! There are some deeply important parts of fusion power that just aren’t part of the general discourse, and I think they should be. I’m going to try and write about one thing a month. First up, producing tritium. #fusion #Physics https://t.co/7hbAzLtUi0

[Nick Hawker @FLF_Nick]

It's out, NIF has shown gain, Q > 1. If confirmed on Tues this is a profound and very important result. It shows that inertial fusion can work in a device suitable for a power plant 🧵#fusion #ClimateEmergency

This excellent figure from Torsten Slok should give pause to anyone who thinks that inflation is driven by particular factors that will soon reverse themselves. 

The most important transitory factor affecting today's PCE figure is the NEGATIVE effect of the sharply rising dollar

I interviewed @sequoia's @DougLeone at Startup Grind last week. He's been in the Valley for 40 years and run Sequoia for a large part of that. He said some pretty incredible things. Here are some of my biggest takeaways...🧵
