This is the reality of a regional sales office - it not too diff to how Big Tech operates. Eg probably 90% of regional Microsoft offices employ similar roles: account execs for local customers, and solutions engineers to help close (locally) large deals. Most R&D happens at HQ

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Opens on a negative, which reads as a warning and is harder to ignore than a claim.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Founders and operators

Based on strong positive feedback from customers in our beta test program, @SpaceXAI will make Grok 4.5 available to the public tomorrow. It is an Opus-class model, but faster, more token-efficient and lower cost.

Netflix is deliberately choosing to pay people to create sexualized content for children. Freedom of speech should be respected, but this is PAID speech. Netflix is going out of their way and reaching into their wallet to push this.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

Memory price hikes have finally started hitting Apple. Today, they raised some base prices: Macbook Neo: $599 -> $699 Macbook Air: $1099 -> $1299 Macbook Pro: $1699 -> $1999 Mac Studio: $1999 -> $2499 iPad Air $599 - $749 iPad Pro: $999 -> $1199

Breakdown of the Black Friday data tells us: -Consumer is weakening. -95% of sales volume was financed. -67% of that intends not to pay off within 30 days. -Roughly $1B was spent using BNPL models which are the worst debt. This points to a *really* unhealthy economy.

Melania, the documentary no human wants to see, has a budget of $40 million, $28 million of which is “licensing fees” paid to the Trumps. FYI to all the MAGAs who fart out “hE dOnAtEs HiS saLaRy!!”, that one $28 million Bezos bribe is **70 years** worth of presidential salary.

Exiting a market is understandable and Uber has done it many times before. Each time, it gave a few weeks of heads up, then shut down, paid drivers + offboarded, closed operations No idea why it would not follow the “usual” playbook Suggests it will never go back

Ok, THIS is wild, never expected anything like this: Uber exited Nigeria… no warning, just shut down the app, on the spot. When riders were mid-trip ?!! This is what a startup that just went bankrupt would do, not a $150B corporation. Uber operated in Nigeria since 2014 (!!)

To everyone who said or liked posts on “SaaS is dead! AI is killing it” - no it’s not: Meta will be paying Slack easily ~$20M/year for a chat product Ask yourself: if they could build something with 2 devs + AI why not do it? They’d save SO MUCH. Because they clearly cannot!!

I just heard: a large company is moving from GChat (Google's Chat product) to Slack, because... Slack has much better agent operability (true) Who thought AI+agents would be a big selling point for Slack? Or that Google would sleep on agents + GChat!

This is what the government defending its residents looks like Make no mistake: NONE of this self-restraint is voluntary. It’s after Meta lost a lawsuit to California (class action by 29 states) about platform child safety. If they don’t do, they’ll be regulated stricter

Damn: 160 employees $100M revenue 177% net revenue retention (a customer who spent $100 a year ago now spends $177) Full-remote Basically no emails Obsessed with performance Some of the best engineers I worked with before now work at Linear Linear is 🔥
