    I wrote this four years ago about Saudi politics in the US and national security. It still sort of holds up.

    I like but I don't really understand why people think he's some hugely ideological figure. Seems like a cool guy and a standard Democrat. Can someone explain what I'm missing? I haven't been paying a lot of attention to the race.

    Wow is being far too charitable here. The Oliver Wyman study, when redone properly, shows venture investment collapsing in the kill zones affected by Google/Facebook/Amazon. There's no need to sugar coat it. (ht and )

    Very interesting suggestive new evidence that tech platforms suppress innovation in immediately proximate industries & product lines.

    Breaking: VC first financings grew more slowly or contracted more rapidly in each detailed Facebook/Google/Amazon industry than it did for comparable sub-sectors (Software, Retail), sectors (IT, B2C), and for the rest of VC as a whole. Via

    I am guessing that very much does not approve of this and that she will have zero influence over his work.

    Mae West, Will Rogers, Alice Roosevelt, Yogi Berra, and Huey Long.

    What person (celebrity, politician, writer, etc) from pre-Twitter days would've been an insanely great follow had they been able to tweet?

    This strong speech on the power of monopolies over black businesses, tech startups, workers, and ranchers/farmers by is likely to frame the political debate within both parties.

    This strikes me as unlikely. The amount of dumping, fraud, and cheating that comes from Chinese producers (and often happens via trans-shipment via third party countries) is quite high.

    The chief NAFTA negotiator for AMLO told my colleague that a Mexico-China FTA is "quite likely" despite the non-market economy "hurdle" in USMCA:

    How has Facebook not built a web search competitor? They could build it right into Facebook. Oh, I see.... they both were and then they miraculously stopped. Huh.

    How has google not built an Instagram/Snapchat competitor? They could built it right into Android and Chrome...

    As I noted, the central problem with Amazon is Bezos's monopoly power. When you don't aim at that, you misfire.

    Amazon confirmed to that thousands of Amazon delivery drivers won't get the $15/hour wage hike because they technically work for Amazon subcontractors. This is why you have to target Bezos's power, not misfire by trusting a benevolent monopolist.

    "Your 15 most recent Facebook searches" is one of the most sensitive pieces of data that users would want to keep private. On this Facebook list, it's mentioned second to last

    This is a big deal, Amazon got tons of PR from its $15 wage announcement. Thousands of workers doing tasks for Amazon will be left out, working instead for fly-by-night 3rd parties who steal wages. Subcontracting makes the wage announcement irrelevant

    “The 15 most recent searches you’ve entered into the Facebook search bar” is enough to scare most people stalking their past ghosts. FTC and FBI, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find Sheryl, Mark and members of Congress’ search history...before a bad actor does.

    now the negative: if you've been affected by this attack, this is the wealth of personal information they've accessed. the below screen is for my personal account, which was affected. thanks Facebook!
