Not slowing down the momentum out of the valley evaluation partners, early facebook investor, Roger Mcnamee is with us to talk about facebooks print they cant lose. No. What would it take to slow these guys down . To be clear, i think from an investor point of view, theyre delivering exactly what investors want and as long as that goes on, the stock is going to be fine to me, the question is the policy one that all of us as citizens that our government has to ask, which is, should there be some limit on what businesses can do when the actions of that business affect public health, democracy, privacy, and competition. And, you know, were wrestling with that right now and the governments getting its gears moving, but it goes slowly and until i guess its going to nee
Distrust of the government im 35 of africanamericans and 32 of hispanics are very concerned about the census being used against them. Similarly, 39 of people who are not English Proficient and 34 of those born outside the u. S. Are afraid to respond. So theres a lot of fear in our communities that weve got to strive to overcome. The president s executive order and immigration policies and the threatened raids all strike fear in the hearts of many of the communities that are already mistrustful of government. And even though the question will not be on the 2020 census. There is a test in the field right now where 240,000 families are being asked the Citizenship Question. Why is that .

Controversial extradition law and hong kongs chief executive has apologized for it. Not good enough for the people of hong kong, who turned out by the millions this weekend and who have returned to the streets today.

When computers go down, it is truly devastating. Over the weekend, target stores all shut down for a couple of hours.
The most backwards process imaginable. Walk us through it starting with college. Going with college, itwas just my 10 year reunion. I did not attend. I graduated in 2009 from wesley and university with a degree in sociology. And i just read in the wall street journal 2009 was the worst job market for generations so i had the good fortune to walk straight into that. And after a bunch of internships and living with my parents, working in music, i work in publishing at a Literary Agency for a few years in new york and after that joined a startup was doing a sort of netflix or ebooks type of app. I was there sort of it was supposed to bethe person you know about books and publishing. It was a fourperson company when i joined. Three of you were founders. And from there i went to San Francisco and iworked at a Data Analytics startup. Which i thought would be a great application of my sociology degree. Little did i know not exactly ebooks but i did that for 18 months and it was probably the l
