Zitat des Tages von Brian Acton:
The phone is one hundred, one hundred and ten years old. There was a middle period where the government had a broad ability to surveil, but if you look at human history in total, people evolved and civilizations evolved with private conversations and private speech.
My DNA is building a product and a service.
Building secure products actually makes for a safer world; many people in law enforcement may not agree with that.
Your insurance broker has your telephone number, but your insurance broker doesn't have your Facebook ID. I think they are very different modes of communication. Commingling them can come with risk and peril.
People want chat histories. They're a permanent testimony of a relationship.
Companies that have been built and operated for a long time are the most successful companies.
You have a certain identity that you present to the world on Facebook, and you have a certain identity that you present with the telephone, and they are different.
I don't really want to be in the business of observing conversations.
It's not 100 per cent clear to me what's working about Snapchat.

I myself saw Yahoo become a $100 billion company and then become a $10 billion company, so you always have to look at valuations with a grain of salt and understand it is a point-in-time measure.
Yes, I was a big math and computer geek, that's true. I was driven by the scholastic side of things. For me, it was all about what I could do with math and computers.
Dealing with ads is depressing. You don't make anyone's life better by making advertisements work better.
