We had such a great time recording Resurrection & Revival: Part 3 that I wanted to share a little behind-the-scenes fun from the studio. At one point, everyone decided to show up dressed as Lt. Dan. Imagine my surprise when everyone showed up in bandanas, Hawaiian shirts, and some very impressive wigs. Needless to say, there were a lot of laughs that day. This project has been incredibly special to me. As Mac's dad, it's been an honor to help bring his music to life and share it with all of you. I'm grateful to everyone who poured their hearts into this album and helped celebrate Mac's creativity, talent, and spirit. Hope you enjoy this glimpse behind the scenes. Order today at:

🚨 Last year, Dylan Tabb walked in with zero offers and barely on anyone’s radar — a 6’6”, 295 lb athlete stepping into his first season ever at Left Tackle. Fast forward to today: 14+ offers from programs like UCF, Tulane, Arkansas State, Bowling Green, MTSU, and more. The difference? Consistency. Work ethic. Development. Dylan has been putting in the work at Tier1 HQ 4–5 days a week, and it’s showing in a big way. This is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Remember the name — this is a future Power 4 player and an NFL first-round talent in the making. And he’s still in high school. At Tier1, we don’t just train — we develop, mentor, and help our athletes get recruited. Who’s next? #Tier1Recruits #NextLevel #D1

Adam Guild is the CEO of Owner, a business he started when he was only 17. It now has tens of millions in revenue, hundreds of employees, and thousands of customers. I’ve had the pleasure of working on his board for a few years now, and he is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever gotten to know. Working with him was a big part of what made me realize I want to do venture for the rest of my career. He tracks his nutrition, exercise, time, and sleep to an extreme degree so he can show up to work every day as strong as possible. He goes to extreme lengths to recruit the best talent. He is equal parts hungry to learn from everyone around him, but courageous in making his own unconventional decisions. I think he’s one of the most under-known founders right now, but I think that will soon change. Hope you enjoy watching this.

🚨🇨🇳China's Underwater Data Centers: Huge Win in the AI Power Race Deep under the South China Sea, China just took a major step toward AI supremacy. 🔸From Navy Tech to Commercial Compute China has launched its first commercial underwater data center off Hainan Island. Sitting 35 meters below the surface, the Hailanxin-built facility connects to shore via submarine cable and already serves AI and big data clients. Hainan Telecom and Atlas are online now. Tencent, Alibaba, and Pinduoduo will join later this year. Each massive 1,300-ton pod uses smart seawater cooling to achieve an impressive PUE of 1.07 — far more efficient than most land-based centers. 🔸Tech Roots That Matter Hailanxin wasn’t starting from scratch. The company once supplied intelligent systems to the Chinese Navy, with deep expertise in marine tech and seabed operations. In 2019, it acquired Canadian deep-sea firm OceanWorks and teamed up with China National Offshore Oil Corporation to build the pressure vessels. This blend of naval know-how and commercial ambition turned Microsoft’s earlier underwater experiment into a working, scalable reality — built for speed and cost advantage in the AI race. 🔸Why This Gives China a Real Edge By placing high-power servers directly in the ocean, China gains natural cooling without expensive infrastructure. The result: cheaper, denser, and more reliable compute capacity exactly when global AI demand is exploding. With plans for 100 pods delivering 50–100 megawatts, Beijing is positioning itself to export low-cost AI processing power worldwide. This underwater strategy strengthens China’s overall tech infrastructure and accelerates its push for leadership in artificial intelligence.

I couldn’t perform in my hometown without going back to where it all started Howard W. Blake High-School🐝 • I remember showing up to audition for the Chorus program with no training and no ability to read or compose music. I remember my chorus teacher asking me if I came with sheet music and all I had was the “At Last” instrumental from YouTube (the Beyonce version of course) and a aux chord 😂 I was accepted into the program b/c of my talent and because my mentors saw a seed and watered it. By the time I left performing arts school I was writing and reading music. More than ready to go independent as an artist! What an honor it was to speak to the gifted kids of Blake High School 👏🏿 the future icons of entertainment! If any student who missed my speech is reading this: take advantage of the resources available to you right now (because it costs allota money to get training when you’re older lol) get to class on time, practice at home while others are sleeping and collaborate with your peers. You have a gift, hone it, use it and be proud of it. When opportunity meets preparation A STAR IS BORN ! Thank you to everyone teacher that poured into me during my 4 years of school. You taught me DISCIPLINE at an age where it was very hard to focus lol I carry your lessons with me to this day. 4X Grammy nominated and I give a major part of that to Blake High-school and my mommy for for enrolling me !

Tether’s announcement of a $1 billion profit in Q1 2025 is an impressive headline, but when placed in the broader context of financial history, it’s also a textbook symptom of a buildup before collapse‼️ This mirrors precisely what Stefan Ingves warned in this video. A high performing institution that is rapidly scaling appears profitable in the early phases, while its internal vulnerabilities are quietly compounding. In the current high rate environment, sitting on over $90 billion in reserves especially with allocations into U.S. T-bills generates significant passive income. But here’s the kicker. This kind of yield only works as long as users trust the peg and do not redeem in large volume. If redemptions spike or liquidity is questioned, Tether would need to liquidate those assets, possibly at a discount, especially the risk-weighted parts (gold, BTC, unsecured loans). Now think of the eerie parallels to history. In 2007, Lehman Brothers reported strong quarterly profits, fueled by mortgage backed securities and repo leverage. On paper, they looked healthy until liquidity evaporated, collateral was questioned, and counterparties stopped trusting their balance sheet. By the time the public saw weakness, the internal rot had already materialized. Their quarterly profits before collapse were not signs of resilience, but of mispriced duration, leverage, and risk. A billion dollars of profit in Q1 looks impressive to retail. But to systemic analysts, it’s confirmation of fragility. It’s the profit spike before enforcement hits, before liquidity is pulled, before redemptions test the narrative. I cannot make this any clearer. Tether will implode ☢️

Ep. 33: TBPN (John Coogan & Jordi Hays) - Inside Tech's Water Cooler John Coogan and Jordi Hays are the hosts of TBPN, a daily live show covering the technology business. TBPN was launched only about a year ago, but has become a mainstay in tech culture and a center of gravity for terminally online technologists. John was previously an EIR at Founders Fund and tech YouTuber. He co-founded Lucy Nicotine and Soylent. Jordi has co-founded and invested in many business including Party Round/Capital and Branded Native, a podcast and youtube ad network. We cover the origins of TBPN, or the Technology Business Programming Network, from its beginnings as "Technology Brothers" to the interplay between John's love for technology and Jordi's for business. They share how they've built a media business in an era of infinite competition by leaning into high volume and constant iteration, all while treating media as the "main thing." We discuss brand building and innovating on form by borrowing ideas from outside the tech industry—from Formula One and SportsCenter to Hollywood films—to avoid tech's tendency toward circular references. We also talk about their focus on X/Twitter and a niche, highly informed audience, rather than trying to go too wide. We also chat about what makes their partnership work and how they take the work incredibly seriously while not taking themselves seriously at all. Timestamps: 0:00 - Opening Highlights 3:18 - Intro & Background 6:08 - Technology vs. Business and the Strategy behind TBPN 12:08 - Building a Media Business when Distribution is not Scarce 22:26 - Being Entrepreneurs and Talent 30:33 - Avoiding Audience Capture 35:57 - Why Advertising is a Good Model 44:04 - Technology's Circular References and Borrowing Ideas from New Places 53:20 - Narrow vs. Wide Appeal 59:44 - X (Twitter)-First Content and Other Platforms 1:14:35 - Making Content People Want to Share and Taking Yourself Seriously and Unseriously 1:20:28 - Valuing Brand 1:30:10 - Balancing Focus and Iteration 1:35:25 - Endurance & Evolution 1:40:34 - A Day in the Life of TBPN & Learning to be Newscasters 1:49:59 - Jordi & John as a duo, Will Manidis, and the beginnings of TBPN 2:02:57 - Grab Bag: Bias to Action, 15 Minute Interviews, Not Journalism, Talent, and Domination of Spirit Available on all platforms.

Mollabashi or Motamedi house is one of the historic houses of Isfahan, Iran; which dates back to the Zandieh era (1751-1779 CE) and was purchased during the rule of Zell-e Sultan in Isfahan by Mollabashi, the astronomer of Naser al-Din Shah. Mr. Motamedi bought this house in 2001 and repaired the damaged parts of the house. This house is renowned for its beauty in architecture and furniture layout. When MullaBashi came to this mansion, it included two 5-door and a Zemestan-Neshin (Winter-Sitting) section that was from the Zandie era. And in front of the house of Malek Al-Tojjar, a few steps away from it, the house was ignored. But with the coming of MullaBashi, the Shah-Neshin (Kings) section and the 9 section were added. The most important part of this mansion is the Kings section. This house, which was a religious and cultural institution during the Qajar era (1789-1797 CE), has an outer courtyard, a working room, a separate outside entrance and a guest house for visitors. The art of metal work on wood is used to decorate it. Motamedi house is located in Malek Street, Poshtbarou Alley. This house is so beautifully designed that you would like to spend hours in Mollabashi house. The colors used in this house, its furnishings, and architecture make it one of the most impressive houses in Isfahan. When the light shines through the seven-colored windows of this house, they create a dreamlike and beautiful landscape. Decorations on the ceiling and walls, chandeliers and Aina-Kari (mirrors), make this house so unique. This amazing house has some parts for work that have more serious spaces than any other parts. This mansion is an attractive example of the architecture of Iranian houses. This mansion is in fact a fascinating example of Iranian houses, meaning that they really lived in it and lived close to the lives of ordinary people of their time. Therefore, MullaBashi’s house can enlighten you to a new and new angle from Isfahan. The house is divided into two parts: the living spaces and service spaces. In living spaces, we faced with warm and intimate, high energy and high lighting, and in the service spaces there are rooms for rest and business, in which the space is more closed, more serious and it’s cold. MullaBashi’s house can be divided into three parts: Exterior Courtyard, Tabestan-Neshin (Summer- Alcove) and Inner Courtyard. Exterior Courtyard: The reconstruction of this part is more visible than any other parts of the house. The end of the courtyard leads you to a beautiful room. This room overlooks the street. During the day, the room is showered in sunlight. The staircase would lead you to the porch and the rooftop. Summer House (Tabestan-Neshin): From the courtyard you can get to the summer room which has noticeable Zandieh Features. The painting on the walls of this room depict the names of planets and ancient Iranian months. Inner Courtyard: This part is where you can truly see most of the historic aspects of a traditional Iranian house. The entrance doors of the rooms are adorned with Muqarnas tiles. A water pond in the center gives this house a traditional Persian atmosphere. A rectangular room with fresco walls was designed and used to host special guests. It was big enough to hold different celebrations in it. 🎥© omidtanzifiyan (IG) #archaeohistories

Mollabashi or Motamedi house is one of the historic houses of Isfahan, Iran; which dates back to the Zandieh era (1751-1779 CE) and was purchased during the rule of Zell-e Sultan in Isfahan by Mollabashi, the astronomer of Naser al-Din Shah. Mr. Motamedi bought this house in 2001 and repaired the damaged parts of the house. This house is renowned for its beauty in architecture and furniture layout. When MullaBashi came to this mansion, it included two 5-door and a Zemestan-Neshin (Winter-Sitting) section that was from the Zandie era. And in front of the house of Malek Al-Tojjar, a few steps away from it, the house was ignored. But with the coming of MullaBashi, the Shah-Neshin (Kings) section and the 9 section were added. The most important part of this mansion is the Kings section. This house, which was a religious and cultural institution during the Qajar era (1789-1797 CE), has an outer courtyard, a working room, a separate outside entrance and a guest house for visitors. The art of metal work on wood is used to decorate it. Motamedi house is located in Malek Street, Poshtbarou Alley. This house is so beautifully designed that you would like to spend hours in Mollabashi house. The colors used in this house, its furnishings, and architecture make it one of the most impressive houses in Isfahan. When the light shines through the seven-colored windows of this house, they create a dreamlike and beautiful landscape. Decorations on the ceiling and walls, chandeliers and Aina-Kari (mirrors), make this house so unique. This amazing house has some parts for work that have more serious spaces than any other parts.

Just in case you forgot: Trump wants to give every F1 Visa holding Foreign Student who graduates from an American college (even jr. college) a Green Card. Not a temp work visa - he wants to give them permanent residency which also means the ability to apply for citizenship. Facts: There are about 11 million 'Degreed Stem' Jobs in the U.S. Between foreign born citizens and foreign work visa holders, about 7.5 million of those jobs are already held by foreigners. There are about 4.2 million native born Americans working in these degreed STEM jobs today. We are already a minority in degreed STEM jobs. There are 12 million American citizens with STEM degrees not working in STEM. How many degreed STEM jobs does Trump think there are? Fyi, you'll often hear numbers for STEM jobs in the 30-35 million range. But that includes nurses, electricians, electronics technicans and many important but lower level jobs. When it comes engineers and scientists. there are only about 11 million jobs available. Why does Trump believe we can just flood in and endless supply of foreigners into the STEM workforce? With 1.2 million F1 visa holders here, the numbers just don't work. Note that he's speaking with the Tech Bros on this podcast. They fill his head with endless lies about shortages and skills gaps. But he never seems to ask: How did we build the entire tech world here in the U.S from the '50s through to the late '90s with mostly American engineers and scientists? There was never a shortage. Rather, what we did is crowd Americans out of universities and entry level jobs. Now the labor market for these jobs is filled with the foreign born. It makes me sick to my stomach listening to him prattle on like this.

War for the West

Should the global tech community continue investing in Malaysia? Given recent events, I raise this question respectfully for the consideration of Prime Minister Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim (Anwar Ibrahim), for the people of Malaysia, and for our friends in the Malaysian tech community. The answer will be of interest to anyone in global tech that’s considering building, investing, or expanding in Malaysia, including executives at Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft, founders of tech unicorns like Coinbase and Solana, and investors at the world’s largest venture capital funds like a16z and Polychain. As context, I am the former CTO of Coinbase and former General Partner at a16z. In October 2024, I opened a startup society called Network School in Malaysia, because I felt I’d been invited in by the government’s pro-tech policies. Specifically, the KL20 initiative set out Malaysia’s ambition of becoming a top 20 global tech hub. Their MDEC digital nomad visas and MM2H investor visas were created to facilitate an influx of global talent and capital. And the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone was announced to facilitate the flow of capital and talent between Malaysia and Singapore, where I live. When taken in combination with Malaysia’s datacenter buildout and its policy of welcoming visa-free visits for 98% of the world, it seemed like Malaysia might be a great place to build a global tech hub that was simultaneously inexpensive and easy to visit (especially for non-Westerners). And that’s what we did, by creating Network School. It’s an international tech community with its first node in Forest City, Malaysia. We picked Forest City because it had millions of square feet of empty space, because it was one hour from Singapore’s capital markets, and because it was within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone. Then, within 18 months, without a single penny of government money, we built Network School into a global attraction that brought thousands of engineers, investors, and builders from 70+ countries to learn technology, burn calories, earn online, and have fun, integrating with the local Malaysian economy along the way. Indeed, in terms of quantifiable contribution to the Malaysian economy, we’ve already invested 100M+ MYR in our campus to make it startup-friendly. For perspective, that’s about 4% of the budget of Johor, the Malaysian state where Forest City is located. We employ dozens of Malaysians directly and indirectly at every level from executive to staff. We’ve backed Malaysian tech startups like Collektr, hosted events for local teams like Superteam Malaysia, and are major customers of many local businesses like barbers, laundromats, and restaurants. We’ve also revitalized the multibillion-dollar Forest City project, causing millions of MYR in real estate appreciation. And, as the video below describes, we were on the cusp of a 500M+ MYR expansion to grow our community, as well as a global merit scholarship with my friend Amjad Masad of Replit. However, that emerging multi-billion dollar success story — which should rightfully have been hailed as a huge victory for the pro-tech policies of the Malaysian government — is at risk of being derailed by a fake story spread by an anonymous account named MP4P. In short: on the day before the July 11 Johor elections, MP4P posted an Instagram post falsely accusing Network School of harboring illegal aliens. The sensational accusations caused a tizzy in Malaysia, until Malaysian authorities came to our campus on July 14 to investigate. (I should note that the officers were very polite and professional.) After checking hundreds of physical passports from 40 countries, including dual passport holders, the authorities confirmed to the press on July 15 that all travel documents were in order. During the process, we cooperated fully; in the thread below you can see a photo of the men, women, and children of Network School smiling and holding up their passports in the bright daylight. Our faces are shown and our names are known; we have nothing to hide. With that said, the process is the punishment. What MP4P did is very similar to the American crime of “swatting”, because MP4P created a hoax report of a serious threat, thereby forcing the Malaysian police to take time away from protecting the Malaysian people towards investigating a nonexistent issue. Moreover, this anonymous MP4P account has also called for Malaysia to boycott Apple, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft…a move that would cost ordinary Malaysians thousands of jobs…even while MP4P’s own Instagram collaborators promote their Apple and Google apps! I mean, we aren’t talking about a credible accuser, but just someone screaming inconsistently at the top of their lungs on social media for traffic, an all-too-common phenomenon these days. Anyway, at this point, all further investment we were planning to make in Malaysia is on hold until we get sufficient assurance that such issues won’t recur. So are the investment plans of many of our friends, including the execs and investors at global tech firms that we brought to Forest City. Because to put it very plainly: we have invested 100M+ MYR in Malaysia, while creating jobs for dozens of Malaysians, and our faces and names are known. Our Malaysian executives and employees deserve the benefit of the doubt over anonymous internet trolls. There are two paths forward. In the first case, if Malaysia still wants continued global tech investment, if it wants to be a top 20 tech hub, if it wants us to revitalize Forest City, then we request an audience with the Prime Minister’s office to discuss the terms of a memorandum of understanding between Network School and the Malaysian government, similar to the document recently signed between the Solana Foundation and the Kazakhstan government. Specifics can of course be discussed, but we would publicly commit to abiding by all Malaysian laws (we already do) and respecting Malaysia’s sovereignty (never in question). In return, they’d get to know our friendly community, and realize that we actually chose Malaysia because we thought it was a great place to build a tech hub where engineers from the global South, investors from the West, and builders from Malaysia itself could meet new people, build cool things, and perhaps create millions of dollars in economic growth in the fullness of time. That vision of peace and trade, internationalism and entrepreneurialism, is still on the table. We aren’t asking for any money — just a meeting, to help restore confidence in Malaysia as an investable jurisdiction. Alternatively, if you don’t want our investment, or those of our colleagues at billion dollar funds and trillion dollar companies, we will of course respect your wishes, and reallocate our capital to other countries instead. Either way, we will remain friends and abide by your decision. Please let us know.

Davide Asnaghi (Davide Asnaghi) is the co-founder and CEO of Diode Computers, Inc., a Brooklyn-based startup using AI to design and manufacture circuit boards in the United States. Before Diode, Davide worked on Apple’s Special Projects Group and spent time in Hong Kong and Shenzhen studying Asia’s electronics manufacturing ecosystem. That experience convinced him that PCB design, despite powering everything from smartphones and satellites to medical devices and autonomous systems, remained one of the most overlooked layers of the tech stack. Since its founding just two years ago, Diode has landed Physical Intelligence and Saronic as customers and partnered with Anthropic to help Claude become a better electrical engineer. The company’s ultimate ambition: to make hardware as nimble as software. In our conversation, we explore: 1. Why the West outsourced PCB manufacturing to Asia in the 2000s and why bringing it back matters for American competitiveness 2. What Shenzhen’s manufacturing culture does better than Silicon Valley (and what the U.S. can learn from it) 3. How Diode’s models can one-shot much of schematic design and compress hardware timelines from months to weeks 4.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “The West, as a notion and as a principle upon which it is executed is obviously superior. And not acknowledging that—because by not acknowledging it or denying it, you could pretend you were smarter or better than you were—has led to enormous problems in our society. And also for the sake of humanity. We have been blessed with a resource called talent and talent management and software production that no other country has. So what does that mean for us? What does it mean for the world? How do you manage that ethically? And how do you prevent what we had—essentially we had a pagan religion that has infiltrated our universities. And that pagan religion basically says everything that’s good about America, everything that actually works, is ipso facto bad. And, by the way, you can’t talk about it not working because it’s a religion. So what? It’s not even—it’s a new religion. It’s not an old great religion like Judaism, Christianity, Islam. It’s a new religion. And the tenets are: West is bad. Nothing can work. If it works, it’s bad. And that way of thinking has corroded every aspect of our society. Last but not least, it leads to a situation where you get a complete corrosion of all institutions and into a legitimacy crisis, so no one actually believes anyone’s an expert. In the 50s, there was this famous professor, Ken Arrow, and if Ken Arrow said you were smart, you got tenure. And why did that happen? Because people knew Ken Arrow is smart. The institution he represents is the best in the world. The only thing like that currently in tech is a Palantir degree. If you work for Palantir, everyone knows you’re good. And that’s basically it. Like when we went to school, the schools actually had credibility. The science was actually science.”

🚨 The “13th Scientist”? NASA Nuclear Engineer Burned in Tesla Crash Sparks Major Questions 29-year-old Joshua LeBlanc was a rising star at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama — an aerospace electrical engineer leading work on nuclear propulsion systems, including the DRACO project that could one day power humans to Mars. On July 22, 2025, he didn’t show up for work. His family reported him missing at 4:32 a.m. — phone and wallet left behind at home. Hours later, his Tesla was found crashed into a guardrail and trees, fully engulfed in flames. His body was burned beyond recognition. Tesla Sentry Mode reportedly showed the car parked at the local airport for several hours that morning. Tragic accident? Or the latest piece in a chilling pattern? Social media and recent reports are calling LeBlanc the 13th (or 12th, depending on the count) scientist/researcher tied to NASA, JPL, nuclear propulsion, aerospace, or classified defense tech to die or go missing since 2022. The FBI is now reviewing multiple cases for possible connections, with some involving sensitive national security work. Some deaths had clear explanations (accidents, unrelated crimes). Others remain murky — no phones, sudden disappearances, unclear causes. High-stress jobs with security clearances come with risks, and coincidences happen… but when this many experts in cutting-edge tech go down in a short window, people notice. Authorities say there’s no confirmed conspiracy linking them all. But the pattern has lawmakers and investigators digging deeper. What do you think — tragic cluster of bad luck in demanding fields, or something darker worth watching closely? Drop your take below (keep it civil and fact-based). Tragic loss either way for a young talent working on humanity’s next frontier. 💡
