Front is actually the best email client I’ve ever used, and for anyone who is absolutely overwhelmed (busy CEOs in particular) it is a mega-unlock to make that insane Inbox collaborative across your team. Probably the least discussed productivity supercharge in all of tech.

US is now spending 16 $ of every 100 $ of federal taxes levied to service the national debt. I am not sure why exactly this is not the Nr 1 issue that is being debated in primaries and on electoral platforms for the 2 leading candidates. If I was a US citizens, the only candidate I would ever consider voting for is the one with the most actionable and credible plan to address this issue.

It’s kind of funny how low the median American wealth is despite being the world reserve currency for eight decades. (It’s because the benefits don’t flow to the median American.)
Replying to @LynAldenContact
Here’s a more complete chart of median wealth. US is mediocre

In Jan 2021, the 30-yr mortgage rate was 2.65% and average new home price in the US was $401,700. Today the 30-yr mortgage rate is 5.78% and average new home price is $570,300. Assuming a 20% down payment, that's a 106% increase in the monthly payment (from $1,294 to $2,671).

6/11 The Bloomberg US Aggregate (old Barclays/Lehman) started in 1976. Year-to-date it is down 7.23%. Only 1980, when the index was calculated monthly was worse. This is not only the worst bond market in our career (total return) but might be the worst of our lifetime.

1. Thinking about this tweet lately. Here we have someone with a "tech people vs word people" dichotomy, but unlike @balajis and all the others who do this, crypto ends up on the side of... the word people. This is not my image of what crypto is! So what's going on?
deep learning vs crypto is a clear divide of rotators vs wordcels. the former offends theorycel aesthetic sensibilities but empirically works to produce absurd miracles. the latter is an insane series of nerd traps and sky high abstraction ladders yet mostly scams

We just hit 5k calls to US Senators urging support of the @RonWyden @SenToomey @SenLummis #cryptocurrency amendment! If you haven't done it already, go to fftf.link/savecrypto2 to call your Senators and ask them to support the amendment.

After trying out the 4-day work week, I’d consider moving to any company offering that as a “perk”, honestly. Having three days to disconnect from work makes such a big difference.
