@gratifihouston The entire "Constable" system in Harris County/Houston is a bizarre racket that only exists here and should be abolished. They serve no real purpose (HPD and Sheriff's deputies are the LEOs here), they just abuse the citizenry and flagrantly break the law.

I was up late last night thinking about 6 different but profound losses to our startup ecosystem in such a short period of time. We lost 3 giants over the past year and 3 leaders far too young in the past month. Giants: @jcbackus, John Thornton, and Dick Kramlich Leaders: @om @JoshuaBaer @SSomasegar linkedin.com/posts/texasvc_…

@NickHarrisFWST A lot of sports specifically have rules to prevent this exact behavior. In basketball it's the 3 second rule. You just don't want people parked in the box because every offensive play would just turn into a volley en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_sec…

I had a peri-social relationship with @Om in the 2010s. Letter we were both on the speaker circuit and he was always a delight. My favorite story was once we spoke in Iceland and he rented a helicopter so that he could take better pictures. He was great online, but even better in person. إِنَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of Om Malik’s passing. It’s difficult to state the impact that @om had on all of our lives at True. Om was the first Founder we funded when we started True. In our Presidio office, Om discussed his idea for a new type of

@TomCiopp If someone politely tells you that you misspelled their name, you think that's the right response?

This is not hard. Call people the name they want to be called.

Hot take: We call Turkey Türkiye because that's what people there call it and want others to call it. But we also call Farsi "Persian" because that's what English speakers have called it. Of course, the names we use for languages and nations are full of arbitrary, historically

It's always fun how new products categories are burdened by requirements that legacy products aren't. Camera Phones and Cameras give no indication that they are on, but glasses are expected to. The gen1 of a product sets expectations that are hard to walk away from.

A guy and his friends came up to us at a bar asking to play Jenga. My friends agreed, but while playing something seemed off with the way they were talking and making conversation. Then I looked closer and realized he'd been recording us the entire conversation. When I called it

@City_Grounded @parkjii @owenslindsay1 @guardian There's only so many tickets and and infinite fans. Europe allocates tickets by making fans jump through arbitrary hoops to get access. The US bases it on who is willing to pay the most. I'm not trying to say which is better, just that secondary selling is the law in the US.
