    I'm really enjoying being able to turn on and off my lights with Google Home, especially if I'm holding something or the light switch is far away. Though other than the timer, music playing, and maps function, I'm still exploring good use cases for Google Home.

    The narrative of the "lone genius" is rarely true. History is not as hard to change as people think.

    I think of Mackenzie Bezos as having built Amazon alongside Jeff Bezos, but apparently people don't always see it this way. Really like this piece pushing back on the narrative of the "lone genius."

    Preach!

    Infosec: Why do we need to support inclusivity & be considerate about things? These SJW expectations are ruining the fun / hacker ethos for everyone Also infosec: Why don’t other domains listen to us or take us seriously??? Where are the women and people of color??? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Agreed! Also I know very talented CS people who don’t do well on these interviews and I know they don’t correlate with job performance. Also it’s super fucking hard to code on a whiteboard without a compiler or IDE. Let’s be real!

    Dear SV: I get that want everyone to do (dumb) whiteboard exercises for interviews & people to be CS “rockstars” 🙄 even if they aren’t directly coding. But stop being AS*HOLES to our future. Don’t take them *3 ROUNDS* and then be so mean they drop their CS classes. 😡🤬🤯🔥🖕

    History of venture capital. The first VCs were shipowners! Interesting!

    Definitely a tweet and thread worth reading about why change is slow, esp. in tech.

    One tech billionnaire's take on shows how we got here and why change has been so slow 👀

    I wish GitHub hadn’t added superficial support for PGP without addressing any of the deal-breaking usability issues. Now people want signed commits, but there’s still no solution to key management, rotation, identity, or team tooling.

    Yes!

    Attention Non-Infosec Humans: Stories / Blogs / Tweets about weakness in 2FA are not for you. Do not make decisions about your personal safety and security based on news like this. Having 2FA of *any* kind is still significantly better than not having it.

    One thing that I think gets lost in the VC vs. non-VC discussion is that VCs don't need a company to become a "unicorn." At least not the early-stage VCs. They might want it, but unicorns weren't really a thing until a few years back, and VCs "settled" for much shorter home runs

    100% agree with this article, & have voiced this opinion my whole career. The vast majority of entrepreneurs should NOT take venture capital. Why? Article nails it: it is a binary "swing for the fences" exercise. Bootstrapping more likely to lead to individual financial success.

    Here it is! After years of VC-worship, startups are rejecting venture capital and exploring other ways to grow their business:
