So many of those have tiny datasets - like 30 images that are seemingly of low quality. I love roboflow, but those are really hard to work with. I wish there was an open platform for generating the datasets that was cost effective.

Congrats! Tons of respect.

What is happening to your current VC fund? I may have missed it, but who do you hand the reins to?

Relative risk may be higher because of the Fanny Mae requirements, but there are other variables including loan to value ratios that can adjust accordingly

I think this would have certainly been in the cards in the past, but at least for the moment there is regulatory backlash against anything seen as anticompetitive, especially buyouts like you referenced. (I Work with M&A teams)FB is having to pay significantly above market to attract and retain talent, and the use patterns are not well aligned to homegrown competitors to tik tok. Some might argue this is why such a big bet is being placed on the “metaverse” business plan. But these trends may be the biggest long term challenge they have faced since the rise of mobile.

It’s what gives certain meats looked corned beef that distinct “pink” color.

My family and I spend a lot of time in the northern Idaho handle near Coeur d'Alene. We love it up here. My wife is Asian (matters to the story), we are liberals, but the folks are generally* terrific and kind. I star “generally” because I would say that the average person is much, much nicer than the folks we meet on the west coast, but the not so great people are much more open with racist, hateful, and frankly scary confrontations. We are invited into peoples homes, have made fast friends with many locals, love the pure beauty of the place, but the lows are much lower when they happen.

I also work in a very “woke culture.” In fact, as a straight, white, cis man I am in the extreme minority.

I have been told that I can’t do my job which includes negotiating with LGBTQ+ companies because I am an “old, white, cis guy and there is always an unfair power dynamic there” just because of my identity. It is discrimination plain and simple, but I literally stand to have my career derailed if I fight back. One accusation and I don’t get hired again.

I joined the company because I believed, and still believe in company mission which is LGBTQ+ focused.

There is no room for allies at some companies and they silence opinions they don’t like. It hurts everyone.
