Here's what I've been reading, watching, and listening to:
I fear that the US is falling behind in EV technology investment, and by the time we realize it, it’ll be a steep climb for us.
I’m a huge Grammarly fan, but this could be valuable to a lot of folks.
This is the right policy change. To run down the path to deportation was obviously wrong. Recent reports have indicated there are over 400K jobs that remain unfilled in the construction industry alone. These are the people that power our country.
If they really wanted to solve immigration, they would read papers like Exceptional by Design from the EIG team < improving high-skilled, legal immigration. They would offer fair hearings, deport actual criminals, arrest people who are violent during protests, and help people who have been trying to get citizenship for years who pay taxes (almost $100 billion < in 2022) and work hard.
This is not surprising at all. Glean has built a fantastic (and costly) tool for companies to ingest their data sitting in third-party systems and easily surface to their employees. This type of knowledge management product will become increasingly more valuable as our current state of work involves us working in dozens of purpose-built SaaS solutions. Slack conversations are a lynch pin for many in this pursuit, and extremely valuable. No doubt Salesforce will up the ante and offer this access at a premium to current plans, or better yet leverage it themselves as they build a competitive product.

The communication app TeleMessage Signal, used by at least one top Trump administration official to archive messages, has already reportedly suffered breaches that illustrate concerning security flaws and resulted in its parent company imposing a service pause this week pending investigation.
