Another day, another "All of your personal information was stolen..." letter in the US mail. Right into the recycling bin, as I already assume everything about me is available for sale...
If you obscure your sight when I land with a banner demanding cookie acceptance, I expect a "no cookies" button front and center, or I close the tab. So choose one: A) easy opt out, or B) few viewers.
@tojulius Agree!!! The worst offender in my experience is https://t.co/GrUNuFWZpu. No warning and a very big charge every 6 months and no possibility of a pro rata refund. Never again. Avoid.
@jowyang FAANG experience is good training but for so many it set current comp expectations so far above market. Leases were signed assuming a salary that may be twice market rates. This reversion to the mean feels more like a wrecking ball than a pendulum for some.

AI startup categories that are very crowded are: 1) AI Marketing 2) AI for recruiting 3) AI for getting hired 4) AI for creating content.

@chrisfralic Chris if you give me $10M I will borrow it, lever it, and then gamble it on crypto! Oh, and I will also give some to charity. But don't worry, I will still send you statements that say you have $10M so it will appear risk free to you.

If your startup has a good growth rate, no one will care who's on your board of advisors.
If you don't have a good growth rate, no one will care who's on your board of advisors.
Ergo, no one will care who's on your board of advisors.
Thinking that Apple and Google will pipe their voice interfaces (Siri and OK Google) into a Perplexity-like search to finally make output truly helpful. Instead of "Here are some websites I found..."
@bhalligan@dharmesh I dunno Brian. M&A companies are sitting on a ton of cash and are not just going to buy back stock all day. Survey of CEOs I saw says inorganic growth in 2024 is a big part of their strategy, and not just earnings accretive deals. Strategic as well. Hope they follow through.
