And this is how its always been. Its similar to some kind of natural life cycle. All those founders out there seeking problems to solve? They just need to look at what big tech is acquiring and begin building a competing product. Often time

Exactly my thoughts. This was a fantastic company in the early 2000's and to be honest they probably did a lot worse back in the day as a fast moving startup flush with cash and success. The difference today is that Google is a solid A

It would be nice to see other scientists contrasting his data points and trying to reconcile why male scientists are able to see this yet everyone does not. If its a fallacy, then help these male scientists see the facts. Why isnt the media

Maybe someone from FB can chime in and prove whether this is true but wouldn't FB take a copy of ANY data that is made public for any portion of time? So it may have been public for a day but ultimately that data is now stored and avai

I'll offer a counter point to this, we hired a senior SVP from IBM about 2 years ago (he spent his entire career at IBM). IBM also tried to sue him when he left. My company is a "born in the cloud" company so we have values a

This reminds me of when Oracle purchased BEA for their Weblogic platform 10 years ago. Oracle destroyed that product and company. Importantly it didn't solve their integration problems as all the best people left within the year as the

Chamath is all about entertainment, his Q&A was fun to watch and filled with brilliant one liners that are quote worthy in their shallowness. Ultimately his advice is useless to a group of people that have to work for a living. He also

Watch how quickly your career comes to a standstill if you go around your manager trying to resolve issues or push your ideas forward. CEO's may state things like this but its usually just lip service. I've seen one employee use o
