Great thread. The Trump administration is absolutely right that antisemitism is rife at top U.S. universities, and is being protected and facilitated by the administration at those universities. (Even if Trump is using those facts for his own cynical purposes.)

One of the newest @indievc backed companies is looking to add to the team. The amount of early positive response this product is getting from customers and design partners has been beyond impressive. Bonus- most of the team is right here in Utah…

Being able to see both sides is a core to being a successful leader. I think it leads to better decisions. Also, who wants to deal with folks who can’t engage in seeing both sides.

I hate the secondary market in tech (for folks other than VCs). Why? I think the buyers are generally predatory and trading on way more info than the seller has. Just learned of one situation where secondary buyers flooded the zone at a company knowing the non-public news that…

SF has mastered some technique whereby a nonprofit, always based on the most virtuous of intentions, is run into the ground amidst flaming wreckage and bitter acrimony but without any reflection, examination, or accountability.

The other side of this is true too. Wealthier men who need the shuck, jive and grovel of other younger dudes are also a bit ick.

I just received notice from @ChubbNA that they are unwilling to renew insurance for my home in California. Markets fail when price ceilings prevent markets from clearing. The CA government's complete mismanagement of its insurance industry is leading to this widespread failure…

Unbelievable that Hilary Ronen ran unopposed for SF Board of Supervisor (If it’s any indication of how bad District 9 is, Ronen was replaced by an even more deranged Jackie Fielder) These people blame tech when they should blame themselves and their corrupt NIMBY policies
