I was very sad to see several north new jersey airports on this list.

Chalk it up to far too many hours in the Sci Li but I quite like this.

They make the data available on that page for you to do your own research.

I wonder if there's a bet to be made on future 8K disclosures following quietly updated signing keys. A bet against F5 placed this morning would've only made 3.6%.

I think Shape Security qualifies for this list. They raised $100M before having a customer, seemed to die, quietly got adopted by a large pool of F50 companies, and exited to F5 for a $1B valuation. That’s a big chunk of change for a security play, especially back in 2019.

Their moat ended up being two fold. One, they were the only tech stack that could handle the scale needed back then. Two, they had a crazy culture of never letting adversaries win and would push daily updates to keep attackers off their customers. Both took a long time to iterate and build towards and nobody thought it was cool while they worked through it.

Same! Big shoutout to Dr Thuillier at UCSF. Really changed my life.

Rumor mill explanations range from flock of birds to Russian air defense systems. Pilots appeared to be trying very hard to safe it.

If you’re in San Francisco stop in at Derco. They’re underneath the Airbnb building.

Some of us prefer to enjoy sex as a beautiful act of human connection and condoms detract from being in the moment of joy.

This is like saying to someone killed in a motorcycle accident why didn’t you use a car. It’s a reductive, unempathetic and frankly unproductive take. Please think before asking this again.

It would be rather silly to assume all bears have the same last name "bear"! It's not as if people all walk around saying "Oh hi I'm Timothy Human" "Nice to meet you, I'm Rachel Human, are we related?"

Which, come to think of it, is kind of a funny notion, and a nice reminder that despite our differences we really are all related!
