Snap gaat een nieuwe AR-bril op de markt brengen die beschikbaar wordt voor het brede publiek. De afgelopen jaren kwamen de slimme brillen van Snap voornamelijk uit voor ontwikkelaars, maar volgens het bedrijf is de nieuwe versie van de 'Spectacles' klaar voor een publieke release. Rosanne Peters vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De aankondiging is gisteravond gedaan door ceo Evan Spiegel op de Augmented World Expo in Los Angeles. Volgens Spiegel maakt Specs, hoe de nieuwe bril veelal genoemd wordt, veel kans om concurrentie op de markt van slimme brillen te verslaan. Een belangrijk argument daarvoor is dat vandaag de dag duizenden ontwikkelaars al content maken die op de nieuwe AR-bril gebruikt kan worden. Ook wordt de bril dunner en lichter dan de vorige versie van de Spectacles. De slimme bril wordt in 2026 uitgebracht. Hoeveel deze gaat kosten is nog niet duidelijk, maar zal volgens speculaties van verschillende techwebsites ruim boven de 300 dollar uitkomen. Verder in deze Tech Update: Google heeft Android 16 uitgebracht See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kids these days, you know? They love the '90s, they want everything to be colorful and bold and bouncy, and they really, truly love Snapchat. And the tech world is listening. On this episode, The Verge's Allison Johnson joins to talk about her review of the new Razr Ultra, the new-look Android 16, and why she thinks we're getting ever closer to a true flip phone resurgence. (Also: why we're not quite there yet.) After that, The Verge's Alex Heath explains what's going on with Snapchat, and how it's possible that the app is more popular than ever but still can't figure out how to cash in. It all makes us wonder: is there a business in chat at all? Finally, we answer a question on the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com!) about a possible outcome for Chrome after the Google search trial ends.

What started as a design project for Stanford student Evan Spiegel quickly flourished into one of the most-used social media platforms in the world: Snapchat. It only took two years for Mark Zuckerberg to make a multi-billion offer for the company. But Evan turned it down — convinced of Snap's potential to disrupt human communication in an even bigger way. And while Evan's path has been anything but smooth, today Snap is valued at more than $13 billion, with ambitions beyond its hero mobile app.This episode was produced by Alex Cheng with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

Why the “ship a marketable feature every week” approach helps his team stay focused and the product stay top of mind for users amid constant AI breakthroughs2. How to balance rapid shipping with maintaining quality by cutting scope rather than compromising on timelines3. The “secret roadmap” strategy that helps Captions develop breakthrough features competitors never see coming4.

The Twenty Minute VC: Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
Imran Khan is the OG of IPOs having taken some of the biggest companies public including Alibaba, Snap, Box, Weibo and more. Today, Imran is the founder and Chief Investment Officer of Proem Asset Management. Prior to co-founding Proem, Imran served as Snap Inc.'s Chief Strategy Officer. Under his leadership, Snap's annual revenue run rate increased to $1.6 billion from zero in less than four years. Previously, Imran was a Managing Director and Head of Global Internet Investment Banking at Credit Suisse where he advised on more than $45 billion-worth of Internet M&A and financing transactions. In Today's Episode with Imran Khan We Discuss: 1. The IPO Market: When Does it Open: How does Imran assess the state of the IPO market today? Can companies really go out with $100-$200M in revenue? Will we see revenue multiples reflate? Can venture continue as an asset class if they do not? When does Imran expect the IPO market to really open? 2. Is M&A F******: How does Imran assess the state of the M&A market today? How do founders need to change how they think about M&A? Why are they to blame for the lack of M&A activity we have today? To what extent can we blame Lina Khan for the lack of M&A? Why would a company go do an M&A process today when it is unlikely to be approved by the SEC? Why does Imran believe in the case of Wiz, it was a mistake for the company not to do the M&A? 3. AI's $600BN Question: Capex Spend: How does Imran analyse the insane capex spend we are seeing from Meta, Google and Amazon? How does Zuck not having his cash cow as the cloud business change how he can act? How does this compare to Google's capex spend 20 years ago? What can we learn from that? 4. Going Public: The Process, The Players and Jack Ma & Jamie Dimon: What is the literal process to take a company public? Who sets the price? What do large institutions want in companies going public? What are some of Imran's biggest lessons from taking Snap and Alibaba public? What are some of Imran's biggest lessons from Jack Ma, Jamie Dimon and Evan Spiegel?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (02/01/2024): 3:05pm- On Wednesday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. During Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) opening statement, he accused Zuckerberg of having blood on his hands—emphatically stating “you have a product that is killing people” as those in attendance applauded. Zuckerberg was also notably grilled by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). Could strict regulations on social media be coming via new legislation? Though there is clearly bipartisan support for legislation to upend Section 230, government should not be in the business of regulating speech online—it ultimately leads to the censorship of American citizens expressing opinions contrary to mainstream narratives. 3:10pm- Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg publicly apologized to families negatively impacted by social media after being implored by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) to take accountability. Hawley, who notably wrote the “Tyranny of Big Tech” in 2021, has asserted that social media is one of the biggest threats to America. 3:15pm- A newly released Quinnipiac poll shows President Joe Biden with a 6-point national lead over Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Though, as Rich notes, the polling results may not be as problematic for Trump as the media is making it seem. First, the poll relied on “registered” voters, not “likely” voters. Plus, it's a national poll and doesn't consider state polling. According to a new Bloomberg News/Morning poll, Trump leads Biden in a hypothetical 2020 rematch by 3 to 10 points in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona. Trump's projected lead expands even further when considering the third-party candidacies of Robert Kennedy Jr., Jill Stein, and Colonel West. 3:30pm- Heather Knight of The New York Times writes: “Fifteen months after city officials were ready to throw a party in the Noe Valley Town Square to celebrate funding for a tiny bathroom with a toilet and sink, nothing but mulch remains in its place. The toilet project broke down the minute taxpayers realized the city was planning an event to celebrate $1.7 million in state funds that local politicians had secured for the lone 150-square-foot structure. That's enough to purchase a single-family home in San Francisco—with multiple bathrooms. Even more confounding was the explanation that the tiny bathroom would take two to three years to install because of the city's labyrinthine permitting and building process. City leaders quickly canceled their potty party, and Gov. Gavin Newsom of California took back the funds.” You can read the full story about San Francisco's $1.7 million toilet here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/24/us/san-francisco-toilet.html 3:45pm- Bud-Light has announced a partnership with comedian Shane Gillis. Will the Gillis affiliation be enough for Bud-Light to bounce back from the criticism it received after working with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. 4:05pm- Robby Soave of Reason writes: “There is no pastime more beloved by Congress than beating up on social media executives. On Wednesday, members of the Senate Judiciary Committee engaged in yet another round of fact-free histrionics as they thunderously denounced four tech CEOs—Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, X's Linda Yaccarino, Snapchat's Evan Spiegel, and Discord's Jason Citron—for a litany of allegedly unsafe business practices… Many of the Senate's anti-tech crusaders were present, including Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham (SC), Ted Cruz (TX), and Josh Hawley (MO), and Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin (IL), Amy Klobuchar (MN), and Richard Blumenthal (CT). Sen. Elizabeth Warren (MA) wasn't there, though she received several favorable shout-outs from the Republicans. Indeed, both sides of the political aisle were exceedingly pleased with themselves for acting in bipartisan fashion to wildly accuse four business leaders of complicity in despicable crimes against children… In order to obtain this control, senators from both parties have sponsored legislation to repeal or reform Section 230, the federal statute that protects internet companies from some liability. Section 230 was a frequent punching bag at the Wednesday hearing.” You can read the full article here: https://reason.com/2024/02/01/mark-zuckerberg-senate-hearing-graham-facebook/ 4:15pm- While appearing on CNN, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) said: “I'm not going to protect Section 230 at the expense of children…if 230 has to go, it has to go.” Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act notably shields social media companies from liability for speech posted to their platforms. 4:35pm- David Propper of The New York Post writes: “A Montana family claims they lost custody of their 14-year-old child after opposing her interest in changing genders — and while the governor's office defended the move, it stressed to The Post that the state does not remove minors to provide gender transition services. The state's Child and Family Services (CFS) reportedly took custody of the teen from her father, Todd Kolstad, and stepmother, Krista, this month, leading the parents to speak out about how the action has ‘destroyed' their family and ‘trampled' their rights.” You can read the full report here: https://nypost.com/2024/01/30/news/montana-parents-lose-custody-of-daughter-after-opposing-transition-report/ 4:50pm- Rich opens the phone lines and gets flooded with off-topic calls—Matt is reprimanded. 5:05pm- On Wednesday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. During Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) opening statement, he accused Zuckerberg of having blood on his hands—emphatically stating “you have a product that is killing people” as those in attendance applauded.

Though there is clearly bipartisan support for legislation to upend Section 230, government should not be in the business of regulating speech online—it ultimately leads to the censorship of American citizens expressing opinions contrary to mainstream narratives. 5:15pm- While speaking from the House floor, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) voiced her disagreement with proposed legislation that would allow for the deportation of undocumented migrants convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI). She also implored society to stop referring to migrants who enter the U.S. unlawfully as “illegals.” 5:20pm- In audio leaked from The San Francisco Standard, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) can be heard retelling a story about how he witnessed a theft while at Target, and how he reprimanded a worker for suggesting California isn't tough on crime. 5:30pm- Teri Hatcher, who was a “Bond-girl” in the film Tomorrow Never Dies, says she is officially done with online dating and is content with being single. 5:45pm- In his latest piece for The New York Post, George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley writes: “Hunter Biden is comparable to children in Japanese internment camps, to undocumented immigrants, to the murdered descendants of the Tsar. At least that's what he argues in a new court filing in his federal gun case, which presents Hunter as one of the most tragic figures since the fall of Troy. Literally. In a brief that borders on delusional, Biden's lawyers say the son of the president who burned through millions from influence peddling is comparable to all those unfortunate and destitute souls.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/01/31/opinion/hunter-biden-compares-self-to-a-romanov-a-migrant-child-and-a-greek-tragedy-in-delusional-court-filing/ 6:05pm- Rich is busy hosting a stand-up comedy show at Club 360 at Parx Casino tonight—so, Mike Opelka hosts hour 4 of the show! 6:10pm- Tomorrow is Groundhog Day! Will you be in Gobbler's Knob partying? Interestingly, PETA is calling for replacing the groundhog with a simple coin toss to determine whether there will be six more weeks of winter. According to calculations, since 1887, Punxsutawney Phil has accurately predicted the winter weather just 39% of the time. 6:35pm- Tommy Christopher of Mediaite writes: “Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is standing firm in the face of efforts to get her to step down from the blockbuster election crimes case against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants. Trump and others have demanded DA Willis be removed from the 34-count felony election crimes case on the basis of allegations made in a court filing by one of Trump's co-defendants. Willis is accused of an “improper” relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she hired as part of the Trump election crimes team. But according to a CNN exclusive by Zachary Cohen, Willis has decided she's not going anywhere.” You can read more here: https://www.mediaite.com/news/cnn-sources-say-trump-election-crimes-prosecutor-fani-willis-will-not-step-down-from-blockbuster-rico-case/ 6:40pm- On Thursday, U.S. Capitol Police announced they will not charge a former Senate staffer who allegedly had sex in a Congressional hearing room last year. The incident reportedly occurred where Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) sits during Senate Judiciary hearings.

¿El Cártel de Sinaloa financió la campaña presidencial de AMLO en el 2006? Esa es la hipótesis de tres investigaciones que se publicaron simultáneamente el martes en distintos medios internacionales y que se basan en un expediente titulado “Operación Polanco” elaborado por la DEA entre 2010 y 2011. Uno de los reportajes publicados fue firmado por la periodista mexicana Anabel Hernández en la agencia de noticias DW. Ella argumenta que el gobierno estadounidense “tiene pruebas sólidas” para concluir que el Cártel de Sinaloa entregó entre 2 y 4 millones de dólares a personas cercanas a López Obrador para ayudar en la campaña de 2006 del hoy presidente de México. Con pequeñas diferencias, se publicó la misma historia en InSight Crime, y por el dos veces ganador del Pulitzer, Tim Golden, quien firmó su artículo en el prestigioso medio independiente ProPublica. Los CEO's de las principales compañías de big tech enfrentaron un intenso interrogatorio en el Congreso de Estados Unidos sobre la explotación sexual infantil en redes sociales. Durante cuatro horas, Mark Zuckerberg de Meta, Linda Yaccarino de X, Shou Zi Chew de Tiktok, Evan Spiegel de Snapchat y Jason Citron de Discord, escucharon preguntas de los legisladores. El senador republicano Lindsey Graham abrió la sesión con una fuerte declaración, señalando que Zuckerberg y las demás compañías presentes tienen sangre en sus manos por tener un producto que está matando a la gente. Otro momento impactante fue cuando el ejecutivo de Meta se dirigió a los padres cuyos hijos se suicidaron tras ser víctimas de abuso en línea, y les pidió disculpas. Además… A pocos días de haber reabierto, una jueza ordenó la suspensión provisional de las corridas de toros en la Plaza México; una granada de mano fue hallada dentro de la Torre de Pemex en la CDMX; la Cámara de Representantes, con mayoría republicana, aprobó los primeros pasos para un “impeachment” en contra de Alejandro Mayorkas, secretario de Seguridad Nacional; y Universal Music Group retiró todo su catálogo musical, que incluye a artistas como Taylor Swift, Rosalía y Harry Styles, de Tiktok.Y para #ElVasoMedioLleno…Si tienes perrijos, gatijos, o cualquier mascot-ijo, sabes que las visitas al veterinario pueden ser un mega golpe a tu cartera…Sin embargo, y por decreto oficial, se deberán establecer clínicas veterinarias públicas en todo México.Para enterarte de más noticias como estas, síguenos en nuestras redes sociales.

This Day in Legal History: The Passing of the 13th AmendmentOn January 31, 1865, a pivotal moment in American legal history unfolded as Congress passed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, marking a significant turning point in the nation's journey towards equality and justice. This landmark amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the United States, came as a culmination of years of struggle and civil war, reflecting a profound shift in the national consciousness. Its passage symbolized not just the end of an inhumane practice, but also the beginning of a new era of legal and social reform.The 13th Amendment's journey through Congress was fraught with political challenges, showcasing the deep divisions within the country at the time. It was an extension of President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, which had declared slaves in Confederate states to be free. However, the Proclamation itself did not end slavery nationwide, which necessitated a constitutional amendment.The Amendment's language was clear and unequivocal: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This wording ensured that slavery was not merely suspended or mitigated but utterly dismantled in a legal sense.The passage of the 13th Amendment was a complex legal achievement, requiring a two-thirds majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, followed by ratification by three-fourths of the states. Its adoption signified a legal recognition of the inalienable rights of a significant portion of the American population, who had been denied freedom and dignity for centuries.Importantly, the 13th Amendment laid the groundwork for further advancements in civil rights. It was followed by the 14th and 15th Amendments, which granted citizenship and voting rights to former slaves, respectively. These Reconstruction Amendments collectively aimed to redefine the landscape of American civil liberties and the legal status of African Americans.In retrospect, the passage of the 13th Amendment on January 31, 1865, stands as a testament to the enduring struggle for human rights and the ongoing evolution of legal principles in the United States. It reminds us that legal frameworks are not static but are capable of transformation, often in response to the demands of justice and equality.In a landmark decision, Delaware Chancery Court Chief Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick ruled against Elon Musk's $55 billion compensation package from Tesla, which had been challenged by a Tesla investor as excessive and inadequately justified. This ruling, coming after about a year of deliberation, highlighted the extraordinary scale of the pay deal, noting it was 250 times larger than that of median CEO peers and over 33 times greater than Musk's 2012 compensation, calling it "an unfathomable sum" and "historically unprecedented."The judge criticized the process Tesla used to approve the package, pointing out conflicts of interest among board members. These members, including Tesla's former General Counsel and friends of Musk, were deemed "beholden" to him, leading to a lack of meaningful negotiation. This raised questions about the fairness and necessity of the compensation plan, especially given Musk's significant ownership stake in Tesla and his stated commitment to the company's success.Furthermore, McCormick scrutinized Musk's motivations, highlighting his intention to use the compensation to fund his Mars colonization ambitions through SpaceX. Musk views this endeavor as a moral obligation and a means to protect humanity from potential threats posed by artificial intelligence. However, the judge questioned the necessity of such a large compensation package for retaining Musk and achieving Tesla's goals.The judge's decision also delves into the concept of Musk's control over Tesla, referencing cultural touchstones like Star Trek and Shakespeare's Henry V to illustrate the extent of his influence. She concluded that Musk's control and the cooperative nature of the board rendered the process leading to his pay deal "deeply flawed."In her closing remarks, Judge McCormick sympathized with Musk's legal team for their challenging task of defending the fairness of the largest potential compensation plan in public market history. Ultimately, she likened the flawed justification of Musk's pay package to a defective car design, requiring a "recall" and granting the investor's request for rescission.Musk Judge Says ‘Unfathomable' Deal Made Tesla CEO Overpaid (1)Judge voids Elon Musk's 'unfathomable' $56 billion Tesla pay package | ReutersA Republican-led panel has approved plans to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, setting the stage for a historic House vote that could make Mayorkas the first Cabinet secretary impeached in nearly 150 years. The decision, advanced 18-15 along party lines by the Homeland Security Committee, is seen as the GOP's most significant political action against President Joe Biden's administration, especially with border security being a critical issue in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.Republicans, led by Committee Chairman Mark Green, accuse Mayorkas of failing to enforce U.S. immigration laws and compromising public trust, particularly in handling the record-high migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border. Despite this, the effort is expected to fail in the Senate, even with some Republican senators expressing concerns that targeting Mayorkas won't address border problems.Democrats counter these accusations, arguing that the impeachment proceedings are a retaliatory measure and that Mayorkas' actions do not meet the constitutional standard for "high crimes and misdemeanors." The markup session witnessed heated exchanges and procedural objections, reflecting deep partisan divides.Meanwhile, a group of Senate Republicans is working on a bipartisan deal to update immigration laws, contrasting with the House GOP's impeachment bid. This Senate effort, already criticized by leading House Republicans, proposes changes like narrowing asylum access and granting the president broader powers in immigration matters.Mayorkas has defended his record, emphasizing efforts to enforce border policies while maintaining a "tough but humane" approach. His response was criticized by Green as lacking seriousness regarding his responsibilities. The move to impeach Mayorkas has gained momentum rapidly over the past month, with House Speaker Mike Johnson pledging a swift floor vote and GOP leaders actively whipping votes for it.GOP Barrels Toward Impeaching Mayorkas as Democrats Cry Foul (1)Republican US House panel advances impeachment charges against border chief | ReutersAt a U.S. Senate hearing, leaders of major social media platforms, including Meta Platforms Inc., X, Snap Inc., Discord Inc., and TikTok, faced intense scrutiny from lawmakers regarding child online safety. The Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Senator Dick Durbin, called these executives to Washington to address concerns over the spread of child sexual abuse material online and the impact of social media on young people's mental health. The hearing began with powerful testimonies from victims of online sexual exploitation on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Discord.Senator Lindsey Graham criticized Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, accusing him of having "blood on his hands" due to a case of child sexual exploitation linked to his platforms. The hearing aimed to propel legislation targeting online child sexual exploitation, with lawmakers from both parties expressing frustration over the tech industry's slow response to growing accusations. These accusations include allowing underage users on their sites and ignoring the potential harms to teens' mental health.Zuckerberg, facing Congress again, pledged Meta's cooperation in making platforms safer for teenagers, highlighting the company's efforts in deploying tools like parental controls and privacy setting reviews. However, he faced tough questions over his 2021 decision to reject expanding teams overseeing child safety. In contrast, CEOs Linda Yaccarino of X, Evan Spiegel of Snap, Jason Citron of Discord, and Shou Chew of TikTok, some of whom were testifying for the first time, planned to defend their companies' practices in detecting and removing harmful content.The hearing underscored the urgent need for legislative action to safeguard children online, amidst ongoing debates over user privacy and the effectiveness of proposed measures. Lawmakers like Senators Marsha Blackburn and Richard Blumenthal championed a bill to legally require tech companies to protect children from harmful content, reflecting a bipartisan push for stricter regulation of social media platforms.Meta, X, TikTok CEOs Face Senate on Protecting Kids Online (1) Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
Mark Zuckerberg van Meta, Linda Yaccarino van X, Shou Zi Chew van TikTok, Evan Spiegel van Snap, en Jason Citron van Discord. Het is een indrukwekkende lijst van topmensen die ondervraagd worden door de Amerikaanse Senaat. Die willen meer weten over wat de bedrijven doen om online seksuele uitbuiting van kinderen op hun platforms tegen te gaan. Het is een dossier waar de Commissie voor Justitie al langer mee bezig is. Nu gaat het over het delen van kinderporno, en ook seksuele beelden van kinderen die door AI zijn gegenereerd. De VS zien steeds meer van dat soort beelden op de platforms circuleren. De bedrijven zeggen er veel werk in te steken om het tegen te gaan. Maar de commissie kijkt of ze meer regels kunnen opleggen. Want, zegt de politiek, er kan niet genoeg onderzoek hiernaar worden gedaan. Verder in deze Tech Update: Uber krijgt een boete van 10 miljoen euro van de Nederlandse Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Today's guest is James Vincent who spent eleven years working directly with Steve Jobs to help build Apple's narrative for some of its hugely ground-breaking products including the iPod, iPhone, iTunes, App Store and iPad.He also founded and was CEO of Media Arts Lab which was a bespoke agency working exclusively for Apple and is host of Fast Company's Innovation in Leaders Podcast.A master storyteller, James is now Founder and CEO of FNDR - an agency which works with game changing entrepreneurs such as Brian Chesky of Airbnb and Evan Spiegel of Snap to help them harness the immense power of an intentional narrative to bring voice to their vision. In this episode, James and I discuss what he was like growing up and how he felt like an outsider to getting the call to come and work with Steve and what was the greatest lesson he learned from him.I found this to be a really insightful conversation and a first-hand glimpse into what it was like working at Apple with both Steve and legends like Jony Ive on campaigns for some of the most iconic products of recent times. I think you will really enjoy it too.James Vincent on Twitter / FNDR / Leaders in Innovation Podcast Danielle Twitter / Instagram / Substack Newsletter Mentioned in this episode:Apple's Mother Nature adApple's iPod Silhouette campaignLeaders in Innovation Podcast
Following news at Snap, the gang debates what the media gets wrong about founders and how founders need to react in this new market.

Eerst was er de handelsoorlog met Amerika, toen de corona-restricties, later de problemen in de supplychain en nu de Chinese consument die minder durft uit te geven. Het is klap op klap voor de Chinese economie. Maar goed nieuws: volgend jaar komt de echte groei weer terug. Dat voorspelt de voormalige baas van de Londense beurs. Het ergste is voorbij. Deze aflevering gaan we het hebben over China. Op de dag dat bekend werd dat Tim Cook, baas van Apple, een verrassingsbezoekje bracht. Is 2024 inderdaad het jaar dat China er bovenop komt? Houdt het grote namen als Apple binnenboord of verhuizen ze naar India? Wat is er nodig voor de groei en gaan Nederlandse bedrijven daar van profiteren? Wat ook voorbij komt: de gelekte outlook van Snap. De topman ligt onder vuur, omdat zijn interne voorspellingen op straat liggen. Ook gaat het over een Chinese autobouwer die Tesla bijna voorbij is, afvalmedicijnen die toch niet helpen met afvallen, de grootste cryptoboef en de kwartaalcijfers van Amerikaanse banken. Het 'te mooi om waard te zijn'-aandeel is vandaag een hele sector: luchtvaartaandelen. Ook sluiten we af met een vooruitblik op morgen en dan staat ASML in de hoofdrol.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Product 101: Art vs Science: Does Jack believe product is more art or science? If he were to assign numbers to them, what would they be? How does Jack define creativity? What can founders and product leaders do to ensure their teams are as creative as possible? What is the 3 step framework through which product leaders should prioritize product ideas? Does Jack believe that when the CEO is no longer the Head of Product, the company is dead? Does Jack agree with Gustav Soderstrom, "talk is cheap, so we should do more of it"? 3.

Why did SNAP tear down its android app and start again? What has been the impact? Were the SNAP glasses a success? What is their future?

Aleen starts off by recapping the *fab* Marcus Mumford concert she went to, including all of her celeb sightings—Evan Spiegel and Hilary Duff's husband. Sami and Jordana wonder how TF she recognized them, before they defer the conversation to Jordana. AKA, the Selena Gomez point person, to discuss Selena's new documentary (it's beside the point that Jordana doesn't follow Selena on Instagram). They get into a *passionate* debate about the documentary, but come to the consensus that the first half is better. Then onto another documentary…of sorts. They debrief the new “Buying Beverly Hills” reality show with Kyle Richards' fam, and share their takes on the daughters and the nepotism. They wrap up with a discussion about *that* new Jennifer Aniston cover before going through celebs who are allegedly disliked—is Julia Roberts more bitchy than diva or diva than bitchy?
