Sergey Brin and San Francisco 49ers co-owner Gideon Yu are among the backers of 280 Earth, an under-the-radar startup that uses industrial waste heat to power machines that suck carbon out of the air. #climate By @HiMichelleMa @bizcarson trib.al/kxYVQxw

Maybe it’s just what comes with getting older, but what a bummer to have lost the utter reverence I had for US Presidents (“I cannot tell a lie” Washington, “Honest” Abe, etc.) back when I was a kid.

No no no no! Crazy Bob was one of the rare tech legends: elite talent, genuinely humble, universally loved. Rest in peace, my brother. #devastated

I prefer takes where the person has specialized knowledge and concrete experience to offer, and @gideonyu is one such person - so here you go:

Thanks, @Yishan! Learned so much from your tweets, especially the "Elon shouldn’t waste his time and energy on Twitter" ones....awesome perspective, especially from your Reddit (and FB?) days...

Giving more $$$ to shareholders is good, right? @Elonmusk can afford it, right? Right. BUT, here’s a graph of @Twitter shares since 11/15/21 (the last day above Elon’s offer). I assure you every single share sold since then would’ve preferred $52.40. (9/10)

I say allow @ElonMusk to make an offer directly to @Twitter’s shareholders without this tool of entrenchment and veto. The board can and should either negotiate a deal with Elon, present a plan that is superior to his offer — or get out of the way. (10/10)

Gotta be a huge potential market for a QB to sell ad space in his pre-snap cadence.

You did it, Coach Harbaugh! This is your year, my friend! I know you’re gonna go right back to the film room, but I hope you get to savor the moment a bit…
