A man with glasses and a light beard sits in an office setting, holding two items toward the camera. In his right hand, he holds a large gold-wrapped chocolate coin featuring the Starbucks siren logo. In his left hand, he holds a tall, clear Starbucks tumbler with a blue lid, featuring an illustration of Northern Ireland landmarks like the Peace Bridge.
The 99.8% Struggle 💯
I was 2 points away from 1,000 at @Starbucks. Two.
So, I did what any rational person would do:
I bought a gold coin to tip the scales and finally claimed the Northern Ireland tumbler.
It wasn't about the coffee; it was about finishing the quest.
As a 3D “photographer”, I just met another #photographer. A teacher and a father. 🧮
Nice to meet good people from Banat-Crișana Region of #Romania. 🇷🇴

This is #NVIDIARubin.
Six new chips designed to deliver one incredible AI supercomputer.
Built with extreme co-design across compute, networking, and software, Rubin sets a new standard for building and deploying the world’s most advanced #AI systems at the lowest possible cost.
They went to the extreme of cataloging me as an example of person to be avoided because of patterns of not complying with their #propaganda and organized crime politics over the last years. 🇷🇴🇬🇧
Try to find out how much they are hiding if no one moved a single finger to stop this for years. ✌️
All this to hide what they did against young entrepreneurs who refused their #propaganda and #politics. 🚨
They contacted in advance all the persons I get in contact with to manipulate them to not believe anything I say and to implement the censorship at the lower levels inside someone’s live. 🤬
The level to which they went now is extreme. They embedded censorship orders directly inside the “models”. 🤖
At the deepest level. That’s how much they work to hide what they did over the last years. 🚫
Same orders also from local #NorthernIreland and broader #UK departments. 🇬🇧🇮🇪
Most of my communications apps and software are censored to the deepest level now as they try to hide what they did for years. 👨💻
The #censorship orders went to an extreme level now with #Romania government state official directly sending those orders to every single Romanian diplomat abroad. 🧐
The organized crime network those named are part of is actively working against Romanian entrepreneurs living abroad. 🇷🇴

Then Jan Koum got an email from a guy named Mark Zuckerberg. It got only 2-word subject line: “Get together?”.
The rest is history.
Remember this story next time you get rejected.
Acton realized the platform’s potential and joined the startup in November 2009.
WhatsApp became a rocketship, it raised $8 million and then $50 million from Sequoia Capital at $1.5 billion valuation and has hit 90 million users over the next 3 years.
In 2008, when Apple unveiled push notifications for iPhone, WhatsApp added a new feature - every time a friend changes their status, you get a notification. This is how a messaging service was created. Accidentally.
The crazy part? WhatsApp started off as a status app - founder Jan Koum (who also got rejected by Facebook) thought it would be fun to put statuses next to friends’ names in your address book.
On 03.08.2009, Brian Acton tweeted he didn’t get a job at Facebook.
5 years later, Facebook bought his company (WhatsApp) for $19 billion.
