CEO of Palantir, Alex Karp: “You are sitting at your elite school pretending that because you watched TikTok twice and got an A+ on some crazy paper, because your professor couldn’t get a job anywhere else, that you actually understand the world.”
That’s almost 3x the highest valuation Zenefits ever had, in case you’re keeping score at home
What is the best way to measure software engineer productivity? I know there are a handful of providers who purport to do this well, who is the best?

Awkward situation: Randall sold his company to Facebook. People pretending like they were the founders of the company Randall sold to Facebook just raised a ton of money on the back of that story.
The two types of people: “You don’t need to learn to code anymore because AI will probably do it all for you soon!” “Actually you should learn C and Assembly.”

Was very confused as to why my six-year-old informed me he wanted to work for Anduril when he grows up. Then I realized Mark Rober made a video about it.
The goal is to backdoor “free college” by hiding the costs in taxes and inflation. Step one is to make federally-funded student loans the only option. You’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg there. Step two is to simultaneously say federally-funded student loans so predatory…

Me: “What do you find when you google those symptoms?” Wife: “Well, it’s either completely normal… or you should head to the hospital immediately.”
Great men are called upon by history when they see dangerous times ahead; this is one of those times. And despite our immense challenges, I am feeling optimistic, as I see friends heed the call. We have nowhere to run; the United States of America is where we make our stand.

1.0M Followers 92 Following Some Are Defiant • Most Are Hypocrites • DM SubmissionsI've been around a lot of 15 handicaps. Been around a lot of tour pros. The truth is, golf can — like a magic trick — make you *think* you just hit a Tour-level shot, but other than proximity to the hole, absolutely nothing a 15-cap can do is similar. The lie is the gift.
A 15 hcp can hit a tour-level shot at any moment. But an average baseball player can't throw a 95 mph heater or hit a 400-foot HR. I think this is part of why golf drives us insane sometimes. We get glimpses of grandeur.
A single 15 minute video call in which I will say “no blockers”
.@parkerconrad is a god damn beast.
Today, Rippling announced $200M in funding at a $13.4B valuation. In 2023, the company had ~$350M in ARR. But back in 2019 at ~$3M ARR, the team put out a Series A memo laying out everything they wanted to accomplish. Here’s how they’ve stacked up to their own expectations…

TIL I learned that the NYT bestseller list isn't actually determined by sales numbers!
Like everything else in Sulzberger’s paper, the NYT bestseller list is fake. They were forced to admit in court that it’s not a ranked list. It’s actually “editorial content” and they can exclude books they don’t like. killzoneblog.com/2019/01/cracki…

@BBGreatMoments Angel Hernandez says it’s a home run.
Don’t worry, Scottie Scheffler is going to be humbled soon. The dad ‘bed’ in the delivery room doesn’t care if you have 2 green jackets or have earned over $15 million in 4 months, it takes no prisoners.
Something I couldn’t have comprehended when we got married 12 years ago: I love Jen so much more now than I imagined possible. I thought I’d love her more as we built a life together. It’s been infinitely richer than that. Happy Anniversary to my soul mate.

@Austen There are a large amount of them in the Contract Bridge community. Compelling intellectual extracurriculars can distract smart people from their studies.
I was there with my family a year ago. We spent a bunch of sky miles and made the bet that @SpaceX would get off the ground that day and that our kids would see history being made. We found a KOA and watched it from the playground. #homeschool
"Do the reading" is actually a perfectly fine request--if it was honestly meant. But in my experience it comes largely from people who feel threatened by an argument I present, feel that it must/should be wrong, but do not know how to respond to it on their own merits.
Actually, my problem is that I actually "do the reading".
In most countries, you observe a lot abandoned unfinished buildings. In the US, you virtually never do. I'd never thought about this as a physical manifestation of the US's highly developed credit sector. economist.com/middle-east-an….
the simple way you can always tell these people are full of shit: ask them if they favor abolishing student loans going forward if they're so horrible and exploitative, surely that should be a good idea, right?
