fantastic convo, really proud of the conversations @SayreEvan's been able to pull together recently
🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 @AAGSlater is reshaping conservative antitrust enforcement from the ground up. In our new episode, she discusses how a vigorous enforcement approach protects free markets for forgotten Americans.
When my friend and fellow long- suffering @nyjets fan @SayreEvan agree with each other, it’s time to get moving and get USF reform done!
Congress had good reason to hold off on this issue while USF worked its way through the courts, but the fact is, everyone's hoping for a lot of changes now. Loved putting @SayreEvan and @gigibsohn head-to-head on this one

Stunning @ProPublica investigation: Microsoft uses Chinese engineers to maintain Pentagon systems without much of a check in place. "Digital escorts" -- ex-military with little coding experience -- are supposed to guard against spying. But they can't keep up with foreign…
No big deal, iust Microsoft using engineers in China to help maintain the Defense Department’s computer systems. I couldn’t possibly imagine anything wrong with this.

Also funny because Windsurf was acquired through a middle-out strategy.
if you thought this whole situation couldn't be more "silicon valley", wait till you find out that the windsurf office is the actual set where the show was filmed 🤯
So wait, where’s the scary warning you’re about to leave the app to buy sometime from an unknown source on the internet?
Apple has spent years arguing that it's very scary and dangerous to buy things on the open web. Except if you're buying tickets to its F1 movie, of course.
