@mattyglesias Looks nice on this graph but it makes it infuriating to try to calculate your tax burden back of envelope. Germany has this, and because it’s unclear what the shape of the continuous function is, I have no idea how progressive their taxes are from afar.

blockit's been a major unlock for my calendar, doing for time/calendaring what superhuman did for email

[Kais @kaiskhimji]

BIG NEWS: Today we are launching @blockitAI -- the first AI scheduling agent that actually understands your time.

After spending my career as a partner at @sequoia, I stepped back to build this. Why?

Because I believe the calendar is the last untouched social network, and it can only now be unlocked through AI.

Our scheduling agent can handle any degree of complexity and has spread purely through virality to date.

Blockit now works for 200+ companies and has coordinated 100,000+ meetings — all with zero humans in the loop.

We're excited to emerge from stealth and announce our $5M raise from @sequoia led by Pat Grady (@gradypb) with participation from @haystackvc, @adjacent, Original, and NPV, i.e. Jeff Weiner, the former CEO of Linkedin.

Come for the agent, stay for the network — get started free today at https://t.co/9J0KjLklwv

I like em dashes, and I hate that some people now take them as evidence of text being AI generated.

Interesting thought exercise to think what about every country intuitively “makes”

More on how the supply effect dominates the amenity effect

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Remember FAANG? Facebook (Meta) is now worth less than Home Depot, and Netflix is worth less than Comcast.

@ben_golub Also longer time differences improve red eyes. Red eyes with longer time differences have you arriving at 7/8am, vs. 4/5am. Effect reinforces in reverse too — the daytime flight w/ long time difference kills the whole day.

[Winston Huang @winsthuang]

@ben_golub The difference between a 7 hour flight and a 5 hour flight for sleep can be massive. It’s the difference between arriving saying “got a shitty night’s sleep” and saying “got zero sleep”.

[Cityblock Health @cityblockhealth]

Today we’re celebrating our 5 year anniversary with the launch of our new brand that is laser-focused on our mission. At @cityblockhealth, it’s crucial that our brand is centered around who we are and, most importantly, who we serve.

Cityblock,
Be seen. Be heard. Be healthy.

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

Your mileage may vary but I tend to steer away from restaurants that bill themselves as "fusion". I like the idea of fusion, but restaurants that do it well never seem to explicitly advertise that they do it.

Hold on, trying to figure out my parenting style

[Douglas A. Boneparth @dougboneparth]

Me at 17: I will change the world.

Me at 27: I will make a small difference.

Me at 37: I will charge 1% to manage your money.
