This has to be one of the most impressive technology demonstrations of recent times. I don’t even think the ‘chop sticks’ actually grabbed the rocket (ie pinched it), from the video it looked like it positioned itself into a 2-3ft tolerance landing zone on the arms.

If I was 20 years younger and lived in Texas/happy to move to Austin, I would apply for this in a heartbeat. Not only is Josh an amazing guy this is basically a fast-track seat into establishing an amazing network and career in startups.

He didn't ask me to say it but Adam Spector is an amazing founder, entrepreneur, father and friend. This will be a great dinner, I'm sure.

bbc.com/news/articles/… Surprisingly this isn't illegal. It should be and it's highly unethical. And imagine the outrage if Bill Gates or George Soros made the exact same offer (to Democrats).

Yep, well, that's me (to be clear - I didn't vote because I'm not a US Citizen but I donated and supported Harris). I think the Dem's have a flawed retail offer but I don't think Trump will bring in the benefits to hard working people that they think he will.

Men of class /s RFK actually called out Trump on junk food and said it was poison (see link). V surprised to see he is about to eat that shit AND has a coke. These people are hypocrites. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

Founders: don't raise money right now. Pause your efforts, come back in 2 weeks. Most firms give staff the time off and aren't going to run a fire drill for you. Also negative selection bias: typically only poor quality companies and poor quality firms are in market right now.

.Adam Spector is great founder and expert in startup operations. If you are a founder who should be focusing on building and selling, check out Chore (fka Levy)

I've decided to pause my engagement on Twitter/X/whatever - for reasons that are no doubt obvious and so I won't labor them here. I am currently reevaluating my social media strategy generally, but you can follow me at insta/dotBen_ for random shits and giggles if you like.
