I'm noticing a lot of very positive stories bout Snapchat (WIRED --- Snap’s IPO Made Its Employees Millionaires—Why Not DJ Khaled?, CNBNC --- Here are all the ways Facebook has copied Snapchat). What's going on here? Is Snapchat using PR firms to prop up the stock after the analysts downgraded the stock earlier this week?

Whether or not this particular attack happened with unencrypted vs. encrypted communications is irrelevant. I'm sure if we look at terror suspects and attacks in the past year across the world --- some of them used unencrypted means to communicate and others that use encrypted means to communicate. 99.999% of people aren't terror suspects. The real question is the following: how do we fight against the remainder without comprising our values?

In regards to the statement that, "no one, and certainly no one in science, has figured out how to patch the leaky pipeline." I think YC/Sam Altman might be able to address that leaky pipeline with the YC Research initiative, especially because they will be funding researchers do research without the things this article mentions (ie. high stakes of tenure, internal politics, etc.)

Samsugn is one of the world's largest distributor in terms of smartphone shipments --- but, it's quarterly profits have been down for the past 5 quarters. So, I wonder where they could focus on to reverse that trend.

seems like there's a lot we are just discovery, and there's more room to learn from what we don't know

reminds me this: " Google's chief engineer, Ray Kurzweil, recently told MIT Technology Review that he envisions a cybernetic friend* based on deep learning that listens in on your phone conversation, reads your emails and tracks your every move so that it can tell you things you want to know even before you ask."

I think taxpayer subsidies make it easier for management to justify losing $4,000 per car.

In the following article:

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/10/tesla-motors-fre...

Fred Turner, said "It is not quite self-delusion, but there is a habit of thinking of oneself as a free-standing, independent agent, and of not acknowledging the subsidies that one received. And this goes on all the time in the Valley."

"Big tech companies are falling over each other to support Mother of Many, right?

Ain't nobody falling over each other to give Mother of Many funding. If one of them would give me a BIG shot that would be a real game changer."

I think the Fed's easy money policy of low-interest rates prop institutional investors to park money with VCs for higher returns --- the combination of low-interest rates & lots of money in the valley enable SVB to capitalize on start-ups, unlike other banks. Curious to know if it was the same during the dot-com bubble
