Wife: “A Peloton would be awesome, but they are SO expensive.”
Me: *checks Peloton price, realizes my wife has no idea how much I’ve spent on my actual bikes*
Falcon 9 rideshare pricing is up 40% over the last five years.
And there are still no real alternatives to F9.
Access to orbit for satellite operators is getting more expensive, not cheaper. And the promise of a world of lower launch prices, unfortunately, remains a ways away.
I've heard founders are doing 1:1 revenue swap with other companies so both can show higher revenue for their next round.
Not sure how true it is, but it is shady as hell.
Please don't do this.
Silicon Valley runs on a lot of trust.
If that goes away, it will never come back. We would like old-school financial services or worse debt investors, who want 100 legal pages of documents before we invest.
🇺🇸 Sec Def Hegseth has given the green light for the Pentagon to select the contractor for F/A-XX, the US Navy's 6th generation stealth fighter program ~Reuters
The competition is between Boeing and Northrop Grumman.
The Trump Admin had attempted to cancel the program but Congress has increased funding for it and remained adamant that the Navy needs it to compete with China.
I don’t think this is the left vs. right war on “crime” that many think it is. It’s about providing safe spaces for people with high-consequence mental disorders to exist. Fin/
I wish this was as simple as being “tough on crime”. I watched the video, and I don’t see a cognizant criminal, I see my brother-in-law.
My BIL has schizoaffective disorder. “Tupac” speaks to him from the grave and tells him to lift cars, run into traffic, steal, fight, etc. 1/
Law enforcement arrested this thug 14 times. It wasn’t law enforcement that failed. It was weak politicians like you who kept letting him out of prison.
The solution to the DeCarlos Brown’s of the world is incredibly obvious but comes with high economic and civil liberty costs. These conversations unfortunately don’t happen until there is a body bag. 5/
If you’re in your 20s in tech right now, a couple of years at OpenAI, Anthropic or a great AI startup will give you 10x the career juice of any MBA or graduate degree (and a lot less debt).
.@AmericanExpress may have the laziest and worst run marketing department of any large company.
I have had an Amex Gold card for 20 years.
In that time, I have also NEVER been approached for any kind of upsell, cross sell or reactivation.
This is despite spending habits that, in some months, in some years, were quite meaningful and diverse.
It’s almost as if they have ZERO understanding of their customers.
Net result is ZERO loyalty.
In the last few years, I’ve mostly migrated to using the @Mastercard Apple Card and the umpteen Ramp cards I’ve been issued.
Seems like a big fail that will eventually catch up with them.
