Found this insane treasure trove at Moms - AppleSoft tutorial, Bowie on a Yahoo Magazine and a never opened AOL CD promo proving — as we suspected at the time — they are everywhere

“You meet with a Facebook person and you see in their eyes they’re psychotic. The Apple person kind of listens but then does what it wants to do. The Google person honestly thinks what they’re doing is the best thing.” theverge.com/23711172/googl…

A pitch for humility about AI, Arvind Narayanan to Will Oremus:

We saw the best & worst of venture capital over the past few days:

Best: ppl like Hemant Taneja & Mark Suster who led support for the ecosystem & pushed for a fast & fair resolution.

Worst: those who accelerated the run & spread false/uninformed opinions.

At least there is clarity.☀️

The nightmare is scary for startups - wonder what it’s like to be at while this is going on - more drinking than usual, I’d imagine.

Ripple effects will be real. Thinking positive thoughts for all well run startups impacted.

I really enjoyed talking with debs about what the early days of building and being on Flickr was like. Interesting how distant that feels, and how much we (or maybe I?) long for it.

A very worthwhile read on why - FB was always doomed. Also why now is the time to focus on nurturing our new smaller fediverse/ Mastodon communities.

I hadn't realized how much of a wild west the self-driving vehicles business is. For example, there are no federal restrictions on the testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads.

A few years ago, I wrote this Medium piece about the tension between true community + scale, plus beliefs I'd come to after over a decade working in this still niche space.

I probably get an email about this piece most weeks.

And the winner of ‘Best use of a hyphen to explain away a lie’:

“I never claimed to be Jewish,” Mr. Santos told The Post. “I am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was ‘Jew-ish.’
