This is a really poor article and business insider is almost blinding to try to read but anyhow.. for the last few years we've been too accustomed to throwing money at problems, as opposed to thinking about the deeper rooted systematic causes and fixing those. This is now rapidly changing, right across the board, and it's fantastic.

Spotify at this stage of growth has a complex problem, they can either raise prices to squeeze more juice (something they are doing), or they can figure out new ways to attract more paying people, continuously while also curbing churn.

I'm not surprised that they are downsizing, cutting operating costs to maintain a sustainable business under the pressures they are facing is the first place I'd start too. Perhaps I'd take on some more accountability than Ek, yes that's for certain.

Tell me more about how SK is the orchestration engine for Microsoft Copilots? Which ones specifically?

I think the play is around intelligent meeting devices. A single device that connects to your internal data and becomes the ultimate meeting sidekick.

You need to simplify your value prop. What is the core problem that you're solving around a single user scenario. Get me hooked on that and then help me expand the value as I start using and understanding your product.

Right no it's too much to digest, it feels heavy and like I need to learn a whole new way of working. It is not clear to me what problem or massive pain point you are solving for me. Remember, you are asking me to spend time trying, learning and using a new tool, sell me on why I can't go on another day without doing that.

You've built a ton of value, more is not always better. Simplify and make it stupidly easy to understand.

Congrats and good luck.

This hurts junior employees the most. Tenured employees have equity as a large part of their comp, they are invested in the stock price, not the few % annual bump.

Not sure this is an issue, I'm Canadian. This seems like Rogers customers will have access to reception via SpaceX satellites in remote areas, which is a good thing. If anything, this means a) Rogers has a slightly richer offering than the 2? other cell providers in Canada, b) Rogers is paying SpaceX for this OR Rogers is agreeing to play nice and in fact SpaceX is eating the bill.

This will fundamentally change the way that M365 enables collaboration. I am truly fascinated by how quickly Microsoft is moving right now, it's really impressive. The moat on AI in enterprise continues to get bigger and bigger.

I'm not American but I really agree with this comment. Each time I do go to America, everything just feels very.. American. Lots of concrete, big vast spaces of industrial, roads that seem far too wide and just overall very, overwhelming and big.

Just my personal observations of course.
