Day 2: nothing’s been cleared! Boy, these Piedmont based real estate billionaires (yes, multiple billionaires live within couple of miles from this mess and experience near zero quality of life issues) really want to keep snapping up generational Oakland homes on the low now

The new India is something else.
My lawyers FINALLY gave me permission to spill the beans... 9 months ago we announced that our dorm room startup @styl_app was acquired by an AI research lab run by our "childhood hero". Today, we're proud to reveal that this was none other than @SebastianThrun: the founder of

We live in an age of unprecedented wealth and security. People with no sense of history, stewardship, or human nature want to burn it all down in pursuit of a phantom golden age. We will all suffer for the folly.

If God wanted us to build Type 1 Civilization, he would have: 1. put a giant fusion reactor in the sky (emitting blackbody radiation around 5800 K) 2. made 28% of Earth's crust out of a semiconductor with a matching bandgap (~1.1 eV or so) 3. filled the oceans with an alkali

The funny thing here is I would pony up $80 for a subscription to @TheFP but wouldn’t shill out $4 to get past the @nytimes paywall.
With Bari Weiss’s news and opinion site, The Free Press, a popular podcast and a lucrative turn on the speechmaking circuit, she has built a new media empire by persuading audiences that she is a teller of dangerous truths.

I spent 10 hours in a "ride-along" with an OPD officer. By the end, my head was pounding. 5 shocking lessons about why it takes cops days to respond to 911 calls: - Rules prevent police from doing their job. e.g. There's a 19-factor (19!!) test for police to run through their

This story about how Zuck pushed @adityaag to his extreme & made him build the search engine in the early days is awesome! Aditya was one of the early engg in Facebook & in week 2 of joining he was still figuring out what to do,none were giving any directions. Mark walked upto

@SenecaSpeaks21 Thing is till recently progressives used to guarantee votes with Union collusion. This is no longer true in San Francisco with @GrowSF and in Oakland with @empoweroak taking on voter education at scale. Smart politicians like @GavinNewsom have caught on to the change while some

I’ve been in the AI trenches since 2009, and LLMs are certainly a game-changer. But they also seem to be a warm-up act for the main event—the next cycle of AI innovation, coming in the next 12-18 months. Here are 3 areas we’re looking at to fuel this cycle, where founders can

While @garrytan, @SenecaSpeaks21 and others get flack for speaking up on #publicsafety, a group of billionaire wives get to play Russian roulette with lives in low income Bay Area neighborhoods.
“The four donors — Patty Quillin, Quinn Delaney, Elizabeth Simons and Kaitlyn Krieger — channeled $22 million toward criminal justice ballot measures and allied candidates the previous two years.” Quillin is wife to @reidhoffman 🙄

All my soft circled LPs pulled out in Sept 2008. I launched anyway with $5 M. My first trade was Oct 1, 2008. I put 50% in $BKNG at $55 / share - today its $3859. Launched VC in 2010. By 2021 had over $20 B in assets - mostly from returns. Just. Get. Started. @PittmanRadio

San Francisco owes a big debt of gratitude to Susan and her relentless pursuit of the real story among all the biased news in local media. Thank you!
I broke the story of Breed’s romance with Nuru. She’s a moderate. I’m an equal opportunity journalist — that’s how it works. If there’s a story I follow the leads and break it. Eskenazi and the Chronicle knew for years about all of this and did nothing because … politics. The
