Everyone says they’d pay more for “Made in the USA.”

I tested it.

We make a $129 filtered showerhead manufactured in China. With tariffs surging to 170%, we explored reshoring. We found a U.S. supplier. Our costs nearly tripled.

I ran a clean A/B test:

@ESPNF1 I believe that's coming OUT of Turn 1. The apex before them is where Piastri was ahead.

@Erwin_AI As far as I can tell it's just an agreement it make API schemas a certain way...?

@tobi Good luck

@tobi A google search reveals different numbers

@tobi Elon read the book and it played into his decision to chase Mars as a goal.

@AlexProber @MiraiTunga23861 @doctorinsulin @MKBHD In my experience these "algorithms" are usually little more than "people who like X also like Y. You liked X, so here's some Y".

@roshanpateI Investment in UX is sorely needed. Product is not nearly in the place I would expect it to be at this stage. Especially if you're not in the US. Hodge-podge, buggy, hard to understand. It's all solvable though. Holding out hope, but uncomfortable giving them more use cases.

@niccruzpatane @MKBHD How is this woke?

[Sameer Hasan @sameerhasan]

@elonmusk What's wrong with being "foreign born" exactly...

@DavidSacks Slippery slope fallacy

[Paul Graham @paulg]

It's alarming to think how many people on Twitter would be supporting Germany if World War II were happening now. After Pearl Harbor nearly all the American ones would instantly go quiet, of course.

@ben_makes_stuff @levelsio The elevator ettiquette in Japan, I've never seen anywhere else.

@ncole_r @DrEliDavid This might be hard for you to believe, but some people don't think children should be slaughtered even if some of their parents think being gay is bad.

[Sameer Hasan @sameerhasan]

Although I found his "just doing my job" response a little disingenuous, it's besides the point. Understanding that influencers like @MKBHD have this power is part of the game.

[Tibo @tibo_maker]

The drama around MKBHD is fair.

Today, 18 yo can burn millions $$ of brand value with a 500-second video.

But is he really at fault here or people can't accept the power shift that has taken place?

Let's dig 🧵

[Sameer Hasan @sameerhasan]

Seeing a lot of hate out there for the @Humane pin, @mkbhd has an epic takedown of it. And he might be right.

But from the maker pov, Humane made a massive bet, executed, and did the unprecedented. @humane team: you dared greatly, and should be very proud. We see you.

[Sameer Hasan @sameerhasan]

Idk, I kinda like seeing people of colour in movies.

[Sameer Hasan @sameerhasan]

@Jason Now we just need @Scobleizer to wear it in the shower.
