The modern smartphone is so popular and loved that most people literally won't walk 10 ft without theirs.
Much better to augment (Apple Watch) than replace (with something that is worse than a phone for everything but one or two things).

Garry Tan is a local hero. The people that dislike him reads like a Who's Who of the destruction of San Francisco.

This is the closest answer. The founder is weird in a particular way. Like the Octopus Teacher somewhat, they see something nobody else sees and they are uniquely *obsessed* about it in a way that nobody else in the world could be. When you find that, just write a check. Trust me.
I just want one thing.... AI replies to customer service emails based on how I've replied to similar emails in the past.

This is a 🧵of excellent comments in support of @mattdorsey 's police staffing charter amendment.
"@Ahsha_Safai and Walton have doubled our SF budget to $15 Billion and now they want to tax us to bring police staffing up to a minimum acceptable level"
TikTok Shop is a nightmare setup process with Shopify. 3rd party apps, separate setup from Shopify, etc. Meta Shops got it right with a tight integration. TikTok it's like you're an eBay seller now.
Just insane. Institutions need to make examples of these people.
How are these students not immediately suspended? How does this not violate @Harvard’s code of conduct for students? How would Harvard respond if the affected student were Black, Latino or LGBTQIA? How does this man remain Editor of the Harvard Law Review?

This is a systemic risk. Harvard law students are tomorrow's decision makers in the justice system. They are meant to be impartial and right the wrongs with reason.
The most worrying part is the absolute silence of opposition. Are they all preoccupied with "safe" careers at the expense of vital principles?
I don't use @Superhuman because the interaction speeds are "faster". I use it because I have ADD and can't focus on getting through email otherwise.
That feeling when you walk past the TSA Pre line and it's 3x the length of the general boarding line...
Pure. Bliss.
I thought working on physical products would get me away from screens.
I was wrong.
In the end, all roads lead to that basic building block of our economy.
Getting people to click on things.
It needs a texture or something different on the back panel. Maybe tight mesh in matte black. Looks very unfinished, not in a good way

Yes! We must REFUND the Police. It’s the key to a safe and clean San Francisco every day. SFPD must be returned to >2000 officers within 18 months from 1400 where it has been allowed to fall, and the police force must be fully empowered to enforce ALL laws. Compensate ALL city employees to recruit the best officers in the country. San Francisco Police Academy must be expanded for hiring surge. All laws must be fully enforced. Police must be fully funded. The DA's office must prosecute to the fullest level of the law. Return Safety to retail business and residential properties NOW. DISTRICT BY DISTRICT - Police officers need to be enabled to protect assigned districts and rewarded & measured for their effectiveness. Metrics for effectiveness need to be clearly defined and transparent. Let’s institute a Neighborhood Policing model in San Francisco, safety District by District. Thank you @mattdorsey for support our SFPD!
Today I’m introducing a Charter Amendment that aims to fix a police staffing crisis that is literally without precedent in our City’s modern history — and to finally deliver on the promise of a fully staffed police force that San Franciscans deserve.

I was biking beside a Waymo yesterday and the way it yielded to me was way safer than what any human driver would do. It waited until I made the first move at an intersection, for example. Higher % of AVs = safer streets for pedestrians, kids, bikers, etc. More livable cities!
Part of what was interesting about the keynotes of the past was that they were live. Real humans, in the same room as you, talking about computers. The new keynote style feels like you're on a spaceship watching a video from a distant planet. Very manufactured and bland.
This is cringe, not bc of the content. Sustainability is great you love to see it. But Apple you are ambitious, engineering-led, #1 company on Earth. Signal optimism and harmony w/nature, not subservience through theater-kid style creative. Steve would never have green lit this
