Factory raises $200M at $5B valuation | Factory.ai:

Factory gives enterprises control over how their software factory learns, which models it uses, and where it runs, whether deployed in the cloud, on-premises, or in fully air-gapped environments.

I’m at an amazing company with cool products and astonishingly brilliant coworkers, and it’s taking off like a rocket. Building neat things is great. Having customers lining up to buy them is even better. This is the most excitement I’ve felt in my career.

A 5-car Millbrae BART came by. It was packed. People pushed in to pack even tighter.

I waited 2 minutes for the 10-car SFO BART right behind it. There are 4 people on my car.

I sincerely doubt that the sardine train was bursting with Millbrae passengers. Sometimes a little reading a patience can make for a much more pleasant experience.

The cat starts to yak. Ugh. There’s nothing to do but wait for him to cough up his hairball and then clean it up.

Hargh. Hargh. Hargh. Hargh.

He starts to yak. And then — and then! — he jumps up onto the bed, looks me in the eye, and finishes, right there onto the bed.

Supreme Court again blocks new Missouri congressional map favoring GOP:

Kavanaugh let stand a lower court decision blocking the GOP-friendly map for November’s elections. Then, less than a half-hour later, a federal judge presiding over a separate case ordered the state to use it — prompting Missouri’s Republican leadership to vow to move ahead.

Congratulations to Missouri for successfully fending off a voting rights attack by the big-government Republican party.
