More coverage of transit agencies and elected boards, more coverage outside of the major Bay Area cities of San Francisco and Oakland, and of course more coverage of their favorite mode of transportation. And we'd love to do all of that, but the reality is it's just not possible to cover everything with one full-time editor.

After receiving treatment at the hospital, the dog was named Ruaidhri. This comes as the animal welfare charity says it is tackling a skyrocketing number of animals being dumped outside. In England and Wales, 24,270 incidents of abandonment were reported marking a 23 per cent increase on last year. To put that into perspective, it means an abandonment incident was reported to the charity's emergency line every nine minutes it was open across the first ten months of this year.

We had retention that was 3-4 times better than other meal delivery services. We had low awareness, lots of room for product innovation, and a seemingly clear path to an IPO. Then the war broke out in Ukraine, and capital markets started to get spooked. All of the sudden, fast-growing, unprofitable consumer businesses were out of vogue. We managed to raise $32mm, not a small sum, but it felt like a failure.

YouTuber MrBeast said in a deposition last November that he owned "a little over half" of his company, which was valued at roughly $5 billion in its most recent funding round. By that math, the value of his ownership stake would have topped $2.5 billion.

In a video posted on social media on Monday, Ms Miller admitted to lying about the diagnosis and said it came from "one stupid sentence that I deeply regret". "I said something to someone within my immediate circle in confidence. I said I had an illness, which was cancer," she said in the emotional post. "I didn't do this with malicious intent or to scam people, I did this out of desperation, I did it to keep the people in my life close to me."

After spending roughly three yearsas a consultant at Deloitte, I was feeling hollow. Due to the nature of consulting, I never got to see the value of my work because I would move on to the next project before my suggestions were implemented. I decided to pivot into tech. In 2021, in my mid-30s, I moved from India, where I' m from, to Seattle for a master's degree in business analytics at the University of Washington.

My entrepreneurial ambitions led me to major in computer science, which opened the door to internships at companies like Meta, Slack, and Robinhood. My desire for more agency and autonomy over my work drove me to intern at progressively smaller companies. My first internship was with Facebook, which at that time had about 12,000 employees. When I joined Slack, it was a 1,200-person company. And finally, when I got to Robinhood, it was a 300-person company.

Above all, he cherished every moment with his children: Jayden (17), Jaxon (10), Archie (9), and Bodhi (2).

"It's the last thing, and now the only thing, we can do for Anto and his family," he said. "It came as a big shock for us. We knew he went missing last Wednesday, and it was Sunday, on the fifth day, that his body was recovered. "He would have been 40 in a couple of weeks time, so we were gearing up for a big celebration for him. But we've all been left devastated for his family after what has happened."

On Tuesday's "TPBN" podcast, the show hosts John Coogan and Jordi Hays spoke with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella after the announcement, noting that he is now a "peacetime CEO," as the dispute with OpenAI has been resolved.
