@HouseOversight @GOPMajorityWhip @realannapaulina @NancyMace Why would you need to “play it cool” when those people walked in? The only way this characterization makes sense is if you are starstruck by them. And if you are starstruck by them, you might just be in a cult.

@HouseOversight @GOPMajorityWhip @realannapaulina @NancyMace I’ll wait for results. There’s a lot of great talkers in the Republican Party. Unfortunately not many doers.

@HouseOversight @GOPMajorityWhip @realannapaulina @NancyMace The absurd premise that Democrats allowed the Somali people to commit fraud because they wanted their vote is laughable. If every single Somali person voted Republican, it would make next to no difference in elections. There are not enough Somali people to swing elections.

@byedon24 @HouseOversight @GOPMajorityWhip @realannapaulina @NancyMace We do. Nobody has a problem with you being gay. It is the hypocrisy that we do not like.

@WalterHudson @HouseOversight @GOPMajorityWhip @realannapaulina @NancyMace These people only understand things to be problems when they directly happen to them. Republicans are completely devoid of empathy and should be treated in kind.

@HouseOversight @GOPMajorityWhip @realannapaulina @NancyMace The most hilarious part of this absolutely bullshit story is that you, as a Republican elected official had no idea who Brandon Gill was. I understand you want to keep rolling the anti-Somali propaganda machine forward but just stop lying about it.

@HouseOversight @GOPMajorityWhip @realannapaulina @NancyMace As a Winnesotan, viewing from across the river, you’re one of my favorites. I wish more of your ‘comrades’ were like minded. I’m glad you continue to fight. I appreciate the poise and character with which you represent our worldview to MN

Unknown to many of you, before Mansa Plus, I was (feels weird saying I was, I still I’m) a musician. @raysmanifests was my music manager! We gave it our all! But guess what, it didn’t work out! Put in a lot of money, recording music, making videos, pushing the songs, but the result was next to zero. On my music YouTube Channel I have under 1400 subscribers! @willyskihumba has had his days as a musician and a Dj, but I will let him tell his story! To an outsider, that looks like failure, and for sure it is failure! However, it was that experience that we used to build Mansa Plus, or rather prepped us to handle what was coming. When we were busy begging people to subscribe and watch our content, it didn’t feel weird because we had been doing it throughout our music days. When we tried to work with certain people and they shut doors on us, we were in familiar territory. When we went months without pay but showed up everyday, that was the norm in our music days! When some people made fun of me and my accent, come on, we were already used to it! And when it came down to work, I was already used to being in front of the camera… I guess as Jay says, it’s not failure it’s a lesson. I’m very proud of what we are doing in this space, and I’m even more proud of every moment that has read us here! It really is in the journey and who you journey with. Luckily, I get to do this with two good friends who are super humans when it comes to their jobs! To all my friends, family and people that I don’t even know who watch our content, and buy our services, know that I’m super grateful. Thank you for making this moment possible! #MansaPlus to the World

When I look at this am not surprised.. I grew up in Tnagar.. it was a street studded with film stars.. end of the road it was Krishna gaaru.. his son Naresh went to college with my cousin brother and they were good buddies.. have never seen Mahesh then.. then we got news that someone had purchased the adjacent house which was owned by a Naidu family.. it was one old style bungalow.. the new owner got everything demolished and started construction of a new house.. we never got to know who it was for a while.. the construction had reached the first floor and we neighborhood kids were playing cricket when we got news that the owner of the property had come for inspection of the house.. like a film back shot we just got to see his back.. a tall man in a white kurta and blue jeans inspecting the construction.. we all screamed unknowingly and he turned around.. a handsome looking man wearing aviator style Ray Ban sun glasses.. he stopped to greet these small kids.. asked us where we lived and went on his way.. Then to our surprise and shock, the building was demolished again and reconstructed because the man whom we met did not like what he saw.. then the house came up.. a sprawling bungalow and the occupants moved in.. the man and his family along with his brothers.. we were told he was Chiranjeevi.. a Telugu film industry super star.. we then got to see hordes of buses that used to land up on our street like never before and fans literally in 1000s like this.. every single day lining up to meet him.. and he would patiently meet them.. take photographs.. sign autographs and be on his way.. we then were curious how the house looked inside.. we thought we have to make friends with his little son.. an active naughty little kid.. one day we did get to meet him I think when he was cycling on our road with a security.. he said his name was Ram Charan and asked us to come home to play in the front yard.. there he let us sit inside Chiru’s Toyota Sera.. never once did any of them in their house show any filmy attitude.. I also had seen Pawan Kalyan.. then a very silent and shy young man who was pursuing his studies and Nagendra Babu.. Chirus other brother who was already in the movies.. it was only after my dad got a transfer to Hyderabad for work did we know the power of Chiranjeevi.. an Anjaneya bhakta who owed his success to Bajrang Bali.. such great memories.. Happy birthday Chiranjeevi Konidela gaaru Pawan Kalyan Ram Charan

With Y Combinator demo day coming up this weekend, I wanted to reflect on what I learned from YC W14, 10 years on + another company in: 1. The 7 minute espresso rule. Our first meeting with Sam Altman lasted just 7 minutes. The batch hadn’t even officially started yet and my cofounder Ryan Rowe and I drove down from Mountain View to the tiny SF YC outpost to meet him. Sam was making an espresso when we walked in. He opened with – “have you launched”? We said no, too many bugs. Our product Kimono Labs made it easy to just point and click to build a web scraper. Our promise was to get you an API in 60 seconds, without code. But it only worked on a handful of sites at the time. Sam pushed us to launched in 2 weeks. We debated. The espresso finished brewing, he picked it up, looked at us and said, “well, you better get going then and fix those bugs”. We left, launched in 2 weeks and learned one of the most important lessons that day - speed matters. Ship something you’re embarrassed by. 2. There are no experts. Ryan and I were not prepared for the rapid influx of user on launch day. It got tons of traffic on day 1 and we didn’t sleep in the next 48 hours bc servers and database kept crashing. We realized we weren’t the experts and needed to hire one. We went over to Michael Seibel for advice who smiled and told us that in the early days at SocialCam (Twitch) experts thought the streaming video problem was impossible. The answer wasn’t hiring an expert, but hiring someone young, capable and naïve enough to give it an earnest try. So we opted to just figure it out ourselves. 3. Messages in Pizza Boxes. Startups win through incredible customer service, then through product, not the other way around. Seibel told us how SocialCam’s streaming infrastructure went down while a key teammate was unreachable off-grid in a Tahoe cabin for the weekend. Normal people would have waited until Monday. Not Michael. He called a local pizza delivery place and asked the delivery person to send a large pizza with an urgent message in the box to the cabin. Their infrastructure was back up in hours. 4. The Twinkle can matter more than the TAM. Ambition matters just as much as practicality. Before demo day, we were struggling with the end of our pitch. We knew the value of our product, and had a fanatical and fast-growing user base, but the market size we calculated either seemed so ridiculously big that it was not plausible, or so narrow that it was equally silly. Paul Graham and Geoff Ralston sat with us and showed that us that if we can really pull it off at scale, it would be bigger than Google. PG suggested not talking about market size, but just making sure people could see the twinkle in our eyes when we talked about what you might be able to do with a structured copy of the internet that’s larger than Google’s. 5. You’re always at the Origin. Our demo day was successful beyond our wildest beliefs. Afterwards, Geoff drew a chart for us on a whiteboard. It was a hockey stick. He asked us where we thought we were. It was a rhetorical question. He said we were at the origin. Sam doubled down. When he invested in Kimono, he gave us a Zimbabwean Trillion dollar note (the result of extreme hyperinflation in Zimbabwe), as a cautionary reminder that the fundraising and valuation mean nothing. We have channeled this into our culture @TheArenaAI with our ritual around neon shoelaces and a pair of neon track spikes hanging on the wall to remind us that we’re at the Olympic starting line, but we don’t have any medals yet. 6. High bandwidth discussions with users don’t happen over email. The “Collison installation” is part of YC lore. John Collison told us that talking to users live was essential because email and chat conversations were just not enough. We did 100s of Skype conversations with Kimono users + one power user Alex Chung, who I met this way, has become a close friend and even attended my wedding in India last year!
