If you're on the right and are worried about Mamdani's state-planned-economy policies, wait til you hear about the guy who required a federal stake in US Steel to approve its merger, wants the U.S. to own part of TikTok, and recently ordered oil producers to "keep prices down."

Can someone in Austin see if their Tesla safety driver will let them plug a USB stick in to record video?

One of the things I’m liking about AI as PM: when I feed it obviously bad ideas, it calls me out. For political and job security reasons, a lot of PMs won’t do that. Or will slow walk. My bad idea in this case: do 2 runs. 5k units with buttons on face, 5k with buttons on side.

Fun pod on elevators. A couple of things not in the pod: - When cooper union in NYC was being built, they put in a cylindrical shaft. Elevators hadn’t been really invented, but Cooper knew it was coming. (Otis was experimenting at the the time.) So he designed for the future.
