$ARKK with biggest outflow since March, has seen half a billion out in past 2 days, altho.. it took in about half a billion in the 3 days prior. This in and out of flows matched with >$1b/day in volume is silver lining for ARK, shows more tug of war than exodus (as we predicted). pic.twitter.com/Si52H53l1i

In Q1 2019, 39% of Stripe's hiring was outside Bay Area and Seattle. Last quarter, it was 74%. I think the rate at which tech industry is going global is still under-appreciated, and that this will be a big tailwind for the world over the next decade.
