It's a bad day to be a Lego https://t.co/nCGQsTl8fb

Pitched a startup I couldn't get out of my head to my most cracked friend. Within 3 days he dropped out of uni, broke up with his gf, quit his job, and moved to the US. We just got a flat together in SF and are now working 24/7 to realize this vision. It's an issue that slows https://t.co/byXUgAppKB

It's official, I'm committed to building in SF and not going back @Stanford https://t.co/9fmNfNuMmx

It would actually make sense that Google should have interop teams whose job it is to make Google products open with APIs to other services otherwise the DOJ should break them up tbh Consumers deserve choice.
