Lovely piece from Sheryl Sandberg on authenticity, the power of data in disproving bias against white people and the value of perspective and long-term dreaming big.

There is something strange going on. In 2008 the global financial system collapsed, it stopped dead -- we didn't know if it could be restarted. Prices on goods and assets plummeted everywhere, instantly. In the recession of 2020 prices haven't budged. They seem frozen in time. Despite an economy in lockdown for a second month and 25 million unemployed — and there is no effect on prices? This reflects a widespread belief that unlike in 2008, the system is strong enough to handle an unprecedented disruption to the global economy. Yet we are more vulnerable to the derivatives markets today than in we were in 2008 when values imploded. Derivatives markets are far larger today and continue to be poorly regulated. A collapse in valuation and prices can cascade through an entire economy. It's a mistaken belief that the underlying system is healthy -- there is another shoe to drop and maybe a penny, too. There's a massive reassessment ahead -- a new valuation for nearly every aspect of human endeavor. The future has been accelerated. …see more

How should journalists report on COVID-19 when their older news stories inevitably transform into misinformation? The numbers they quote, the results of medical studies, their medical advice about face masks — becomes a mass media of misinformation that overwhelms people's searches and news streams. News content could carry live links for reporting data within stories, so that even long archived news stories would display the latest numbers within the story. News sites should remove stories that cannot be fixed with live data links. Google News normally downgrades news stories older than three months. Three weeks, maybe less, is likely a safer cut-off date for news before it turns bad. It's interesting that trusted media sources have not yet figured out how to deal with misinformation from their older stories. #onlinemedia #reporters #journalism #covid19 …see more

Further evidence that internet of the future won't be a place we visit (website), it will be an omnipresent mesh layer that permeates our daily lives.

Congratulations to Moiz Ali  on Procter & Gamble  acquiring Native! Was just a couple years ago when you were working away at the  Founder's Dojo  to make this company succeed and it has.  Nicely done (again).

Boy, does  Dara Khosrowshahi  have his work cut out for him. Uber 's old culture (hopefully changing now) manifests itself yet again in spectacular fashion. Instead of disclosing the breach as is legally required, now ousted execs just paid off the hackers to keep it under wraps. …see more

California burger chain In-N-Out Burger has been doing a fair amount of international pop-ups. Which might be exciting save for the reason they are doing them - trademark protection (not international expansion, sorry).

One of the hallmarks of a well-run company is information sharing. It not only engenders trust but it provides full context for decision making.  Normally, though, that describes information sharing from the top-down and across the company. Reed Hastings  has smartly taken it to the top-up by rethinking how board members interact with senior management at  Netflix . …see more

In a not-terribly-surprising move, Lyft  has acquired Motivate International Inc.  which means they instantly have 80% of bike share rides in the United States. Next up, electric scooters as they and Uber  (who bought Jump Bikes earlier) march toward "owning the last mile" in addition to short car trips. #lastmile #bikes #scooters #electricscooters #uber #lyft #motivate #acquisitions #integrationstrategies #renteverything #membershipeconomy …see more

Interesting read from the  Harvard Business Review on when to hire generalists and when to hire specialists. In my experience, I find their conclusions to be accurate. The one thing I would add is that startups almost always hire generalist when starting out then get to specialists as they scale. Does anyone else feel differently?   #business #generalists #specialists #startups #hiring …see more

Would love to know the “why” behind some of LinkedIn ’s job matching algorithm results. For example, how does this match a search for VP Brand Marketing? Believe me, I’m not slagging administrative assistants as they play a crucial role in helping companies run. Just don’t get how that search yields this result. #linkedin #jobsearch #algorithms …see more
