SF is a paradox. This gentleman probably did experience the sketchiest walk of his life. AND… SF is definitely the future of tech. The city as is does not deserve us, but it’s getting us. That’s why we must get engaged and fix the politics that leads to this mess.

Just earned the swarm/foursquare mayorship of Stripe’s San Francisco office today 😂 Points to *both* the lost legacy of Foursquare *and* my excessive travel in the last 30 days 😴

"Magic" Links are a disease and should be illegal

Taxing unrealized gains is bonkers. But accruing tax on unrealized gains makes a lot of sense. I built Monzo 🏦 when I lived in the UK and accrued a lot of (paper) gains during that time. I now live in California and will pay US & California capital gain (38% 🤦‍♂️) if I sell

It's been nearly 10 years and my Mom and Dad still don't quite understand what Stripe does. Let's hope this clarifies.

I want an AI app with the great dictation support of OpenAI ‘s chatGPT, but using Anthropic ‘s latest Claude model, which I find better at compiling thoughts. Does this exist?

In the year of our Lord 2025, I sent the first Fax of my life today. Because, Germany.
