I completely agree about this, but arguments about how we should be more like a public utility and less like a vc funded startup fall on deaf ears in management. I just don't get it. Providing essential services in a trustworthy way is

I think this explains the state of the world, and given the state of the world: why is this surprising to us. I guess people tend to believe that everyone else is like them, including those of us that aren't sadistic. And if a full 33

You do realize that Mitchell has only been ceo of mozilla corp since January, right? And that almost all of the C suite has turned over in the last few years?

If you think the same execs have been at mozilla for a decade, I have a bridge to sell you.

I hate to break it to you, but reporters lie all the time, and so do sources. Have you ever seen the Weekly World News? I don't really have much to say about your speculation. You'll probably just have to wait until the next annua

Are people actually expecting revenue in 2020 to be the same as previous years? That seems naive. Also: Why exactly do you believe this reporter who reported the previous day that the deal had fallen through?

Yes, this is quite likely, but this is a titanic shift in the real estate market. Previously, you wanted a flashy storefront to attract customers so you put your kitchen in a fancy area. Now, you just need a kitchen on a back alley where de
