Tonight. The Talk Show Live from WWDC, in stereoscopic immersive, inside the Theater app on Vision Pro.

All the best steakhouses in Philly are within the few blocks between Rittenhouse and Broad Street. Except, it turns out, one: The Prime Rib inside @LiveCasinoPHL. Great decor, great service, unbelievably good prime rib. I blew it by waiting a few years before trying it.
ALT Wedge salad: perfect.

(I had nothing but good things to say about The Prime Rib even before I won a few bucks playing blackjack after dinner. That didn’t hurt though.)

One of the mistakes people make about Silicon Valley history is that Steve Jobs was never CEO during his first stint at the company. (Fun segment on the latest atp.fm episode.)
Apr 24
one of the most important stories in silicon valley and nobody tells it right: steve jobs wasn't a great CEO his first time through at apple. he literally went out and recruited his own replacement. that bad hire was his idea.
but then he built next. and next failed. but he *learned how to be CEO* at next. the failure was the education. (ben horowitz made this point better than anyone i've heard)

There is nothing about this that is amazing. It was predicted endlessly, and those predictions were dismissed by people citing the fact that big companies opposed these measures. They opposed them because while their relative position is stronger, the pie is now smaller.

truly one of the most amazing developments in trans-Atlantic tech policy over the past 20 years is the way that Europe set out to regulate US tech giants into the ground, but only made them more dominant as a result.
This Economist headline really says it.

Trump on Iranian leaders: "They're gonna make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing actually. They gave us a present, and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I'm not gonna tell you what that present is but it was very significant prize."

“We do not seek regime change” Trump declares as he escalates his regime change war against Iran. Neocons like Graham/Bolton are cheering. To all who voted for Trump bc of his antiwar rhetoric, it’s time to realize he lied to u. Stand with me against Trump’s Iran War! #TrumpsWar

Because after watching the video, people saw that they shot him only after disarming him? Because he was directing traffic until the agents shoved a woman to the ground and he went over to assist? Because he never drew the weapon and it’s not illegal to legally carry a gun?
