ceo + founder @ copia automation, โtech personโ in new york, building a better future
New York, New York
Joined December 2010
A little over a year ago we started a tech company to rebuild the fundamental tools that power our industrial base. Things have moved fast. Excited to finally announce Copia's Seed and Series A led by Construct's @daynagrayson and Lux's @bznotes!.

@miseblock This is also insanely difficult to implement in iOS so they really had to want it.

@kunm00n @miseblock Each text message is a discrete cell in a table and discontinuous with each other so rendering between cells has to be a bit of a hackโฆ and then the animation is hard to build given what Apple exposes at this levelโฆ .

@kunm00n @miseblock Basically Iโm sure they had to do a few clever things to get this to really work so nicely.

@vanillaopinions Ugh. Also, according to the official canon, as of summer 2020, Harry is now the head of magical law enforcement (I shit you not).

@theslayk the survival rate at Jamestown was literally 12%, 60 out of 500, absolutely brutal.

@vanillaopinions Heโs also the wealthiest wizard in Britain, having received the vast wealth of the Potters (actually the Peverells of deathly hollow fame) and the entire Black family estate (gifted in Siriusโs will).

@Carnage4Life I always pay people what they deserve even if they arenโt good at negotiating. Just wait 3 months until she realizes that there are places paying $135k for the role. Short term greedy, short sighted.

@BridgersRevival @vanillaopinions Strong, strong argument to be made that lack of estate tax has been causing their wars. Obsession with โpure bloodโ is actually a thinly veiled justification to keep most wizarding wealth between a very small number of extraordinarily wealthy families.

Looking forward to the HBO 3-part series showing the rise and fall of Fast. This guy has a $10m MONTHLY burn rate on $600k of total revenue for a copy-cat idea. Feels like the Fyre Island of start-ups.
.@KateClarkTweets reports Fast had ~500 employees, 30 mil in volume, 600K in revenue last year. It tried to raise series C at 1 billion and is struggling to move upmarket

@quendergeer Think there is actually a far more interesting story about the anti-intellectualism and incompetence of the right wing political establishment in the US if we dig past the Discourse.

@BridgersRevival @vanillaopinions As a result there is almost no path to upward mobility in the Harry Potter universe. The ministry of magic (as far as I know) also has basically no social programs. The weasely family had to empty their bank account each year to pay for their entire familyโs school books.

@quendergeer Maybe she tricked tech bros but most of her financial backers were not Silicon Valley venture capitalists, but actually right wing traditional american elites like betsy devos ($100m) and rupert murdoch ($125m).

If the left wants to be morally relevant again in society they need to deeply expunge this aristocratic bullshit from their midst.
If youโve ever met someone who rose from middle America to the top of the corporate ladder their presence is honestly so much more evil than most people born rich. You can just sense the willingness to sell out their fellow man for the slightest power gain.

@edburmila This isnโt Boston Dynamics. โBoston Dynamics, the best-known manufacturer of quadrupedal robots and makers of Spot, has a strict policy agains weaponizing its machines. Other manufacturers, it seems, arenโt so picky.โ. 10k+ favorites and didnโt even read the article ๐คฆโโ๏ธ.

@BridgersRevival @vanillaopinions Meanwhile, of course, families like the malfoys historically quietly engage in the muggle economy, while outwardly preaching wizarding blood purity and a separationist economic program.

@BoomerNiner There are so many things that they quietly get right like the universal translator being slow or the rooms being kind of shitty and everything being cramped which I love.
