Morning family hike in the rain. Perfect.

Reflection.
Hallway Chat, #14.
It’s been 4 months since our last podcast. Today @nabeel and I discussed his new Android phone, Apple, when a cofounder wants to leave a startup, & our recent decision to pay investor legal fees.

I feel sorry for Peter Thiel. Did he really want flying cars? Flying cars are not a very efficient way to move things from one point to another. On the other hand, 20 years ago we had the idea that information could become available at your fingertips. We got that done. Now everyone takes it for granted that you can look up movie reviews, track locations, and order stuff online. I wish there was a way we could take it away from people for a day so they could remember what it was like without it

As many of my colleagues will attest, I’ve been so frustrated by that Peter Thiel quote. Happy to see Billg taking it on.
