    The single data point here is Adam Neuman, so I have a hard time taking this seriously. I have raised 6 equity rounds as a founder of 2 companies. Never took a dime off the table, …

    I've worked quite a bit with STT and TTS over the past ~7 years, and this is the most impressive and even startling demo I've seen. But I would like to see how this is integrated i…

    If he's earning just 5% a year on that $16B net worth, that's about ~$2.2m per day. Yet he used this info to gain $500k?

    Not so sure about that. It reads to me like there is a personal scandal on the horizon that has come to the board's attention, and the board feels their hands are tied. Hard for me…

    Sounds like he wasn't happy with his last PM haha. Interesting convo starter article though, as the PM role seems to also draw a wide range of opinions. In my view, the PM duties a…

    Honest question: is it better for society if they are for profit? Will the for-profit incentive and control over development and deployment lead to better products that create more…

    With the (controversial) incentive for Apple to move away from PWA's and toward native apps, this has to be welcome news and useful for developers and consumers alike. Their fine b…

    What if they did a better job of segregating music vs. podcasts in the same app? So you can search and "save your place" separately between podcast and music? That's my biggest gri…
