WorkHas France cracked the YC recipe?

WorkThe week an Apple event and YC Demo Day collided What’s up in TC podcast land this week? “Selling Sunset” star Christine Quinn stopped by Found to tell ’em about her new startup, the Chain Reaction crypto crew talked about the latest drama at Binance, and Burnsy took a virtual trip to Minnesota to put the spotlight on the Minneapolis startup scene for TechCrunch Live. WorkWorkWorkWorkCooler, Wetter Weather Brings California a Moment of Relief Climate scientists noted that the duration of the heat wave had left many parts of California drier than they had been, meaning wildlands in those areas were primed to burn. State public health officials warned that wildfire smoke continued to be a hazard across huge swaths of the state. WorkMosquito Fire near Sacramento is at a tipping point, fire officials say. Michael Darrow, a Placerville resident, said he had packed belongings in a trailer and was ready to evacuate if needed. He said he’d learned from the people who waited too long to leave their homes and died during 2018’s Camp Fire in Paradise, Calif. that it was not worth taking the risk to protect his property. WorkBilly McFarland Is Out of Jail and Ready for His Next Move Ozzy Rolle, Mr. McFarland’s principal consigliere in the Exumas, an island district in the Bahamas, said the following afternoon that he’d been paid almost everything he was owed for the festival, before it imploded. “I was treated good.

WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkOpinion: We really do want to worry, darling -- just not about what you think (CNN)Hunger is a sly thing. Sometimes, it announces itself ostentatiously -- a stomach growling or a mouth watering at the scent drifting out of a neighbor\'s kitchen. On other occasions, we don\'t truly appreciate its urgency until we take our first, long-overdue bite of pasta dripping with sauce. The \"Don\'t Worry, Darling\" drama that\'s dominated the Hollywood news cycle for the last fortnight is just such a dish, and to judge by the fervor with which we\'ve devoured every morsel, we were starving for it.

WorkUkrainian Offensive Seen as Reshaping the Wars Contours But Western analysts have also attributed Kyiv’s recent victories to superior tactics, better planning, higher morale and a decentralized command structure, all of which seem to have combined to enable its military to seize the initiative and, for now, to succeed against a numerically superior force. WorkAs Russians Retreat, Putin Is Criticized by Hawks Who Trumpeted His War “The Ukrainians’ war effort is obvious, it’s understandable, whereas on the Russian side, it was always a question of: What is Russia doing?” Mr. Lee said in a phone interview. “The goals aren’t clear, and how they achieve those goals isn’t clear. If you’re fighting a war and you’re not sure what the ultimate goal is, you’re going to be quite frustrated about that.” WorkJann Wenner Wants to Reveal It All That’s what my younger staffers said at the time. I didn’t want to challenge them at that moment but thought the idea was hyperbolic and emotional. There was something to be said about their reaction to his death being similar with ours to Lennon, but to compare the actual artists for their work is far-fetched. WorkIga Swiatek Downs Ons Jabeur to Win U.S. Open Womens Singles Title Jabeur would stretch Swiatek, getting as close as anyone has in a Grand Slam final to winning a set. But in the tiebreaker, strokes that had become smooth and steady started sailing. On their final point, Swiatek’s first serve was not even close, and she lobbed in her second ball. The forehand Swiatek hit off Jabeur’s return floated into the middle of the court, but Jabeur couldn’t take advantage of it, and the championship was hers.
