When I started working at Square, Jack Dorsey was running the company off of an iPad. And so, I immediately converted in September of 2010, and haven't looked back. Everything I do in my life is either done from my phone, my watch, or my iPad.

"Rod was a giant in our region and a public servant whose vision has forever changed the way we move, connect, breathe and live."

Austin Nasso rebranded himself as a tech-savvy 'bro' comedian, attracting Silicon Valley's edge lords while maintaining a good-hearted and fun comedic style.

Ibrahim reflected on their journey, stating, 'We took a leap of faith. We didn't know if this place was going to make it.' Their decision was influenced by friends who wanted a Middle Eastern restaurant in Silicon Valley.

Mahan has raised $12 million so far from Silicon Valley elites such as Google co-founder Sergey Brin, Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale and YCombinator CEO Garry Tan - who have all maxed out their legally-allowed contributions at $78,400 each.

You just have to immerse yourself in it. You should just constantly be building. That's what's going to give you the best chance of having the relevant skill set that is needed to make a difference in technology.

In 1952, Japanese technologist Masaru Ibuka learned that Western Electric was releasing its transistor patents to the public for $25,000, a significant investment for his struggling firm. This opportunity would allow access to essential patent portfolios and technical information, crucial for innovation in electronics.

Laverty's social media agent started randomly deleting his posts. One founder's attention span is shrinking from constantly switching between coding ideas - he compared it to 'TikTok for work.'

In this case, the robot was brought closer to a dining table at a guest's request, which is not its typical operating setting. The limited space affected its movement during the performance. We remain committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for our guests.

The regional economy expanded 38 percent over the past decade, clearly surpassing growth recorded in California and across the United States. Venture capital investment climbed to $92 billion while local creators filed more than 23,000 patents in one year alone.

Daniel Corey believes that thoughtfully curated food and beverage programs are essential to elevating the overall guest experience. His mission at Hotel Nia is to reenergize the hotel's culinary offerings, particularly at Porta Blu, the hotel's signature restaurant.

California will lose its most important taxpayers and net off much worse. Even people who don't expect this initiative to pass are still planning to leave because there will be another one. You're permanently reducing the tax base on an ongoing basis to get a one shot. That's what a junkie does, a one-time shot.

But one of his most consequential legacies unfolded far from church pulpits and voting booths. It was inside technology boardrooms and much of Silicon Valley. The Reverend was incredibly instrumental in holding Silicon Valley and the big tech companies accountable, by pushing for them to put into practice diversity, equity, and inclusion. He was well aware that the technology industry was a predominately white male industry not taking into account the millions of people their tech products would affect.

The transformation of the Santa Clara Valley from a bucolic grower of fruit into the technological powerhouse of Silicon Valley thanks largely to Stanford University's presence fueled a dramatic evolution of California's economy, growing it into the fourth largest in the world, were it a nation. Technology isn't just a linchpin of the economy; the immense personal wealth of its creators has perhaps unfortunately become a crucial source of revenue for the state.

Breaking news: There are gay people in positions of power in Silicon Valley in 2026. That not-so-surprising fact is the center of Wired's latest cover story, which hit the internet Thursday. The internet immediately reacted, in part thanks to some, uh, unusual imagery that accompanied the article. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. The handshake cover wasn't the only bizarre choice. Inside, the magazine used an image of a musclebound man with San Francisco's Salesforce Tower between his legs.

Several tech leaders with longstanding ties to Newsom have recently moved closer to Trump, including Sergey Brin, the Google co-founder who's been close to Newsom since his tenure as San Francisco's mayor, and Marc Benioff, the billionaire co-founder of Salesforce Inc. and godfather to one of the first California couple's four children. Benioff said last year that Trump is doing a great job. Alphabet Inc., Apple Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc., all based in California, have also contributed to Trump's White House ballroom project.

Molly O'Shea is a name-dropper. There's good reason for that. I count 29 big names in tech mentioned over our hourlong call. She told me about recently moderating a panel with Kalshi cofounders Tarek Mansour and Luana Lopes Lara. Ken Griffin took the stage after her. O'Shea breezily referenced talking about the state of new media with the TBPN bros in Peter Thiel's house.
