When I saw the headline I wasn't sure if it meant that Yuri Milner and Jeff Bezos were keeping the California legislature (which is called the General Assembly) afloat, or if this was a clever name for a startup. It appears to be a clever name for a startup.

Except that it isn't. Don't call your startup "Congress." Or "General Assembly." Or "The White House." You're just asking for trouble.

No joke. I've attended a few events at GA, the first time I went I had a very difficult time finding it because whenever I looked up 'General Assembly' on Google Maps it sent me to the UN building.

Interestingly, now that I try it, it's no longer the case. Huge cheers to GA, incidentally. It's a fantastic space- one day I intend to be there in a more permanent capacity than weekend hackathons...
