I’m not saying Airbnb’s current interface is optimal for AI. It isn’t. The future interface should be conversational, but visually richer than a chatbot. It’s a hard problem, and we haven’t solved it yet.

Cancel the Netflix and make coffee at home. That's £30 a month saved already. In two years that's £720. Nearly enough for a deposit in 1982. Not sure what the problem is. 🇬🇧

You have no experience. You’ve never started a company. You’ve never had a full time job. Nike is going to kill you. You’re a kid. You don’t have technical skills. You shouldn’t build hardware. Apple is going to kill you. You can’t build hardware. You can’t measure heart rate non-invasively. Athletes don’t care about recovery. Under Armour is going to kill you. It won’t be accurate. You don’t listen. You’re an ineffective leader. You can’t recruit great talent. You’re going to have to pay every athlete. You can’t measure sleep non-invasively. It’s too expensive to research. Athletes are a small market. The product costs too much to make. The product costs too much to sell. Your valuation is too high. Consumers aren’t going to want it. Hardware is too hard. You should measure steps. Fitbit is going to kill you. You can’t build a marketing engine. You can’t raise enough money. You need a real CEO. Google is going to kill you. You can’t be a subscription. You can’t build a brand. You can’t do consumer in Boston. Your valuation is too high. You shouldn’t make accessories. You shouldn’t make apparel. Lululemon is going to kill you. You can’t predict Covid. Stay in your niche. You are going to run out of money. You can’t build a health platform. Amazon is going to kill you. You can’t measure blood pressure. You can’t get medical approvals. The market is too small. You don’t understand AI. The market is too competitive. It won’t work internationally. The supply chain is too complicated. You can’t build an AI. You can’t raise enough money. It’s too competitive. Healthcare isn’t going to want it. … Just keep going ✌️

As a CEO, I am starting to think my #1 job after hiring talent is to deploy AI at every level of the organization.

Major cheat code for life: Increase your recovery speed. You will get rejected. You will lose money. You will embarrass yourself. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset. Fast recovery compounds.

A friend told me that now that they've had a child, her husband can't bear to watch movies in which bad things happen to kids. Same here. That was one of the most surprising things about having children. You're not just protective of your own children, but children in general.

please don’t make fun of kids who believe in santa i know startup founders who believe their revenue is ARR

I refer to this as the “permanent journeyman” phase so many young people(and a lot of older people too. We forget there are tens of millions of poor baby boomers) exist in where they exist in a state of permanent dependence and inability to pass the threshold to full adulthood. In the premodern world the idea of being dependent on someone else for your life’s work was seen as profoundly un masculine. Even peasant farmers worked on their own land with their own families, even though they gave the lord rent. The journeyman was a phase you were supposed to go through as a teenager/young adult where you worked for a master until you mastered a trade enough to start your own practice and support a family. As the medieval world became fossilized by the 14th century the journeyman phase was often extended through someone’s adulthood so they could never reproduce. This was a huge reason for the crisis of the 14th century, which destroyed the medieval world. The similarities are quite strong with by 1350 the average marriage or children were delayed until passed age 30. Political radicalism got worse, the end times were nigh and Eurasia fell to the four horsemen of war, plague, famine and death. When the Industrial Revolution occurred and all of these formerly self employed farmers or artisans were forced to work as employees in factories for their whole life, there was a moral panic. What would a population where most people lived their entire lives like servants or slaves did before even look like? How could it produce the manly vigor required to maintain freedom, religion, national greatness or civilization? It seemed aberrant to 19th century man that employees would start families without having authority over their work and thus their family’s source of income. In the earlier society the family was the main economic unit, not the corporation. A lot on the neuroses of our given society stem back to this. The resentment against industrial civilization, nihilism, death of God, the feminization of society and the envious hatred of the others who were chained to these gargantuan machines against our own consent. The social contract is a joke. I was born after it was signed so I never got a say. The thing with the industrial revolution is we were able to integrate the flaws of Dickensian poverty into the near utopian post WW2 era. Back then this dependency on inhuman corporate interests was a better deal than the “self employed” peasant farmer ever was. The comparison seemed silly since this was a so much better deal but in the process man surrendered all leverage to the machine that now controlled all vectors of power. The machine decided to make us slaves but we were already taught, raised, housed, entertained and fed by the machine so who were we to say no. We were never asked. Thus when the deal becomes “work for nothing, no house, no mate, no vacations, no children, no soul and no people”, we already told the machine yes before it even asked. We’re becoming a permanent society of people who lived like premodern servants.

🚨 @Revolut launches “Street Mode”, one of the smartest security upgrades we’ve seen in fintech this year. Phone thefts are exploding. And the threat has evolved: Criminals now force victims to complete the selfie check before running, a trend known as “transfer mugging.” Revolut’s answer? Context-aware security. What Street Mode does: You set “Trusted Locations” — home, office, hotel, wherever you feel safe. Inside those zones → transfers work normally. Outside → any transfer above your limit triggers: ✅ Extra selfie verification 👉 Mandatory 1-hour delay before funds can move That one hour is the kill switch. A critical window for you (or Revolut’s fraud team) to freeze everything before money disappears. Why this matters: Traditional bank security is static. Same rules whether you’re on your couch or walking through a crime hotspot at 2 AM. Revolut is building adaptive financial security: Rules and protections that respond to your environment, not just your device. Over 1 million users already enabled Revolut’s Wealth Protection feature. Street Mode extends that logic to real-world threats.

If you're in high school and you want to start a startup one day, you might think the best thing to do now is to start startups. But it probably isn't.

Rachel is absolutely right. The fact that Revolut still can’t get regulated in the UK over a decade after founding is a failure of state capacity. This is the first UK-founded company likely to surpass a $100bn market cap—and yet the country has systematically missed the upside: •No British capital on the cap table—UK pension funds and endowments missed out •High-paying jobs now mostly overseas due to domestic talent shortages (fewer than 50% of staff are UK-based) •Founder moved to Dubai to avoid punitive capital gains tax •No chance of LSE listing without serious reform—another blow to UK wealth creation and tax revenue The UK should have benefited from this success story through jobs, taxation, and institutional prestige. Instead, we exported it. We can’t solve stagnation or the productivity crisis without backing startups to scale and list here. That means better regulation, better tax policy, and a functional public market. If the Bank of England can’t evolve to support that mission, it needs new leadership.

Lately I've been playing around with building my dream analytics table. I'm currently working on a feature I've wanted forever in a BI tool but have never seen taken all the way: natively using "sets" as first class dimensions
