Interesting that it says "every keystroke is encrypted" - seems this is pretty fast and doesn't have the lag that I would expect in that case.

This dude just cannot tell the truth even for a second.

Obviously nobody needs a VPN to watch something on a national broadcast and he's clearly up to SOMETHING that he shouldn't be under the guise of accessing his NFL game pass account.

This is continual sociopath behavior from someone who can't possibly believe that they could ever do anything wrong, and they are simply misunderstood.

It's utterly maddening.

Funny enough - Satya Nadella introduced a new mission statement at Microsoft shortly after he became CEO[1].

It's pretty anodyne, but by design - it's a way to push the company towards different ways of operating by creating a pretext to say "X project is part of the new mission and here's why" from a top-down perspective.

The other issue is also does "organizing the world's information" fit as the right mission for the company? Company missions change over time.

Larry Page said almost 10 years ago (!!!) that Google's mission probably needed to be updated. That's a long time to be lost in the wilderness.

Very much on purpose and I stole that from somebody else long ago.

The End of an Error for the world's most disappointing note-taking app.

I think part of the struggle here is that no two people can agree on what ailed them.

From lack of innovation for years, to an incomprehensibly bad rich text editor interface that broke all established conventions, to 0-60 from "zero monetization" to "monetize every time you even think about clicking a button", to a ground-up rewrite that put it on part with it's counterparts from 2012, etc.

It's almost like it's failure was overdetermined.

Fascinating case study in a journey from ubiquity to obscurity.

Exactly. And it's not just marketing emails.

The dichotomy between "marketing tracks, 1-to-1 emails don't" is false. There are hundreds of millions if not a billion installs of people using tracking for 1-to-1 email.

Sales people use dozens prospecting tools like Outreach.io, Salesloft, etc for tracking.

Likewise, millions of individual consumers use tools like Gmelius, Mixmax, Streak, etc.

This feels like either manufactured outrage or willful ignorance by a community of supposedly technology-savvy people who should know better.

Definitely the best part is the link to this image from JP Morgan's report on "Unicorns Vomiting Rainbows":

I wonder if that speaks to the general issue that Twitter has had in terms of being an effective advertising platform - either in terms of targeting capability or demographics of the userbase.

If even the candidates who are spending money like it's going out of style aren't even using it...
