My decision – Alex Vindman
Hi – my name is Alex Vindman, and I have made the decision to run for the United States Senate in Florida.
Over two decades ago, I swore an oath to protect this country when I joined the U.S. Army.
I honored that oath in 2019 by blowing the whistle on Donald Trump’s corrupt phone call with Ukraine -- an act that led to Trump’s first impeachment and cost me my military career.
People told me to keep my head down. But my family came here as …

Executives don’t want to just sell juice. They want to empower you with an agentic, customizable, and seamless juice experience.
But no one has stopped to think about what any of that actually means. Before designing a "solution," you need a good, *shared* problem definition. If the beautiful clarity within the design team shatters on contact with any handoff, you didn't finish the job.

Rob Gaskell of Sundial is presenting on a layer two protocol designed to enable bitcoin to generate yield.
Most bitcoin is still, in long term hodl. Not helping anyone.
Sure, you could lend your bitcoin for interest but that would count as a tax event and also involve losing custody.
What if a programmable sidechain to help with scaling, allow borrowing and lending and products retail and institutions like?
His solution is called Sundial and doesn't need new protocol changes or forks.
Hard to say what it actually does though? Presumably something like liquidity in sidechains? Didn't really seem to get what he actually is building. 🤷

I post on social media expecting discussion, not silence. Disagreement—when it’s thoughtful and evidence-based—is how we learn. Echo chambers don’t make us smarter; conversation does.

I’ve spoken with my boss (he’s a bit of a dickhead but his heart’s in the right place) and confirmed that I won’t be getting fired for opposing Israel’s ongoing genocide and supporting the human rights of the Palestinian people to live with freedom and dignity like the rest of us but not everyone is as lucky.

Process creates friction, so we got rid of process. But that friction was necessary for holding workslop at bay.
Because without slowing down, we can't ask "is this good? is this right?" We can only ask "when will it be done?" And that's a world where #LLM outputs will always beat people.
Fortunately, an "optimized" process moves slowly, because prod…
