Cool job alert!
Hunting for someone (freelance or agency?) to run Spikeball.com (on Shopify) for me. Hitting the monthly revenue goal is the #1 goal. Must be able to manage and implement all edits/changes needed to make it really hum. Know anyone?

We're making space lasers and you're black pilling?
T-1 day until Reason-1 heads to orbit aboard a @SpaceX Falcon 9.
Once in orbit, our first mission will attempt something no commercial spacecraft has done before: power on a kilowatt-class laser in space.
CEO @BaijuBhatt and COO @JoeYaffe with Reason-1 before its journey.

Two years ago today this man told us "I will cripple you" (referring to the entire U.S. economy) if we didn't give his east coast port union workers what they wanted (60%+ wage increases and a pledge of no automation of our ports). It worked btw, he got all his demands.

Turns out the people who bought Valyra.com (my 19th century race horse-inspired domain) for $20k were not making a better Viagra pill but something even sexier: High end binoculars for bird watching...
Wishing them great success!

We added wave height to Flexport Atlas. I'm still unsure what to use this for besides ogling storms and looking for ship captains who DGAF about waves to give the Flexport Leeeeeeroy Jenkins Award for Wreckless Abandon.

One of the largest container ships in the world, the MSC Nela, is in the port of Long Beach today. She has a capacity of 23,656 TEUs!
I was confused because at with a fully laden draught of 58 feet, she's too big to call at any US ports, and yet there she is.
Turns out, the current ocean freight rates on Asia-US lanes are so much higher than those Asia to Europe that it's more profitable to operate ships at 80% capacity to the US than it is try and send them full from Asia to Europe.
Even our shallow ports and crappy infra can't hold America back!

Crew Dragon spotted in Long Beach harbor along with Shannon, SpaceX's capsule recovery ship.
This ship is expected to recover astronauts from Crew 12 mission when they splash down in the pacific in a few weeks, so I guess they've been doing training runs with the backup capsule.
What an epic company.

Why do stock apps only show share-based metrics (EPS, 52wk high/low, etc) rather than the financials of a business?

8% of the air freight entering the US from Asia is components for data centers.
30 full freighters per day just in chartered volume, a lot more shipping less than plane loads at a time.

People are finally noticing that Jensen Huang has the same initials as John Hancock, but all I see is how incredible Greg Brockman’s signature is.
