Coding tools changed what’s possible for engineers. We took that same model and asked what could give more Stripes—sales, finance, ops—that same boost. Here’s how we built Stripe’s Knowledge AI Platform. https://t.co/2POTmqjqyD

Leandro Paredes should be banned from international football for life viciously assaulting Spanish players after the final whistle.

Indefensible thuggery and criminality.

This chart tells the story where we are heading really well

[Robert Nishihara @robertnishihara]

One of our biggest advantages is talent. We get top people from all over the world who largely stay here and contribute to innovation here (especially AI). Turning away these people is a mistake.

[Mayor Katie B. Wilson @MayorofSeattle]

Today marks 81 years since Executive Order 9066 was signed, unjustly incarcerating 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry including my mother and her family. As we reflect on this painful period of history, we must vow to never again let fear or prejudice guide our decisions.

Best wishes to all tweeps, all wonderful fellow tweeps, past and present. My 💙 is with you.

[Mayor Katie B. Wilson @MayorofSeattle]

Public safety includes safe streets for all residents, no matter how they get around. As the new @seattledot Director, Greg Spotts understands that we must embed safety across all projects & include community voices to improve our transportation system. https://t.co/4N7trchUG9

[Sam Altman @sama]

right now there are many high-skill immigrants that are begging to come to the US and we don't let them

some day we'll beg them to come and they won't want to

this is an important-but-not-urgent policy disaster, and worse than it seems

[Lei Zhang @stzlei]

A very insightful article by @GeraldFSeib. The world order might be shifting under western leaders’ noses in an unexpected way, even before the Ukrainian war. https://t.co/XdVD8wrEFO

I've now been asked multiple times for my take on Elon's offer for Twitter.

So fine, this is what I think about that. I will assume the takeover succeeds, and he takes Twitter private. (I have little knowledge/insight into how actual takeover battles work or play out)

Phenomenal Q4 to finish our first year as a public company, as we accelerated through the $1B revenue milestone! Incredible opportunity ahead, and grateful for the amazing @Qualtrics team and incredible customers powering XM 🙏

[Stop AAPI Hate @StopAAPIHate]

The reported shootings of Asian American women on Tuesday in Atlanta is an unspeakable tragedy – for the families of the victims first and foremost, but also for the AAPI community — which has been reeling from high levels of racial discrimination. https://t.co/rBVPnrEBps

Congratulations to @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Look forward to the rebuilding and reunification of this country!

My message to my fellow Americans and friends around the world following this week's attack on the Capitol.

[Lei Zhang @stzlei]

@Zserafin @alexrkonrad Agree. Zappos’ early stories with customers are still inspiring for us today.

[Lei Zhang @stzlei]

Tony Hsieh is an icon. His book “Delivering Happiness” has been an early inspiration for me. We will miss a thinker who see things ahead of the curve. RIP.

Showing red vs. blue maps leads people to see America as more divided—and judge people more by their state's stereotypes.

Data: purple maps of state proportions are more accurate, and reduce perceived polarization and stereotypes.
