I often, often wonder why so few service providers brand themselves as X But For Startups / SaaS / Software because it seems *very* obvious to me that in some areas that’s enough of a niche to support a thriving firm.

Have seen a couple good ones.
FounderShield (foundershield.com), for example, is AFAIK “We’re a commercial insurance broker... for startups.”
You would think that major metros would have somebody at all the meetups saying “Hiya guys my name is Sally the SaaS accountant. You’re going to need an accountant. It’s going to be me.”

Intriguing survey question from Wealthfront:
I’ve heard it joked that every tech company wants to be a bank but *truly* every brokerage wants to have a bank attached.
“Why?”

Greater share of wallet, greater share of habit than investing services (and therefore keeps your AUM sticky), and great monetization options on both stocks and flows of cash*.

* Not physical cash; distinguishing it from value in investments, some of which are cashlike.

We will, within our lifetimes, draw this curve for automobiles, probably in response to a traffic fatality in a country where that will be rare enough to deserve a hashtag.
Incidentally, try sketching what you think the normalized fatality rate for all automobile use is since invention of the automobile.
Did you draw the red line here?

If you had this in Tokyo, you could

a) buy a detached house for cash in any of a variety of places outside the city center and tolerate a middling commute by train

b) buy a *very* desirable condo anywhere in the city

c) buy a slightly less desirable house almost anywhere
And it wouldn't cost you a $300k down payment, it could very plausibly be $20k or $30k, and you wouldn't need $200k income to support the mortgage, you'd need "materially less" than that depending on what tradeoffs you wanted to make.

Tokyo has one secret weapon here. Ready?
Build. More. Homes.

Yall, the men on these dating apps are awful. They consistently seem to think that messaging a few times means I owe them something & that just because we matched based on images & limited info, I should meet them. They appear to think they can debate me into dating them.
It seems very obvious to me that someone who can’t respect my “I don’t want to meet you for X reason, good luck finding someone” will definitively not respect my boundaries and no in person so why in Beyoncé’s name would I agree to meet you? This is the dumbest fucking tactic.
Are women falling for this? YOU DON’T OWE THIS STRANGER SHIT. Do not allow men to pressure, bully or coerce you into half-heartedly “giving them a chance.” Fuck that. No dick is worth the hassle or the potential harm.

1) (FCC) passed common-sense rules in 2017 that FREED internet carriers from Strict Regulation, DEMs have announced plan to Replace those Rules. New rules (same as pre-2015 old rules) have been in effect for 267 days. Internet Reverse Doomsday Clock: tickcounter.com/countup/65616/…
2) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi D-Calif. announced on Monday plan to introduce “Save the Internet Act” on Wednesday March 6th in House & Senate. What exactly Democrats plan to save the internet from isn’t exactly clear. Do they want total 'Control' of what you see on the Web?

it’s amazing i’m still finding new kinds of meetings to attend. i’ve not been to a meeting of the emergency communication center board before.
interim city manager said the situation regarding the police data extraction would be on the agenda... i don’t see it.
love a public meeting held in a locked building with no signs about the location or existence of the meeting. highly accessible to the public.

Thread on Judge Kavanaugh and character. I think the way a middle-aged man reflects on his youth, & what he models for those he mentors, can provide important clues about his character. A speech Kavanaugh gave recently seems telling to me. /1
This stood out to me in the new reporting on Judge Kavanaugh by @ronanfarrow & @JaneMayerNYer: in his response, Kavanaugh says he’ll defend himself from the attack on his “reputation for character and integrity I have spent a lifetime building.” /2
I found this interesting in light of the speech he gave to the Yale Law School Federalist Society banquet in 2014, which focuses heavily on his and his friends’ drinking to considerable excess. I think the speech is relevant to his "character." /3

@garoda @HashtagGriswold @yashar 1/ Firstly, very few people have freedom of speech. But as a given, let's say you have freedom of speech in the United States. Nevertheless, your freedom of speech — does not extend to corporations, organizations, or nongovernment funded groups. The corporate decisions to…
@garoda @HashtagGriswold @yashar 2/ …ban-and-remove Jones were entirely based on TOS ("Terms of Service"), TOU ("Terms of Use"), and Community Standards entirely relegated, to the corporate ideals, on the platforms for which, this person and people like him are being thinned out, and removed.
@garoda @HashtagGriswold @yashar 3/ If you are having a discussion in a restaurant, even a quiet one — that is incendiary, racist, misogynistic, or generally pisses off my clientele — I have the right under the law, to refuse service, remove you from the premises, and bar you from the business.
