๐ Our Muslim Boy Wonder - Michael Moore
(Itโs about โSteveโ, but it this caught my attention โฆ
How many millions upon millions over the years have snuck into this nation without permission, without invitation, just wham-bam-thank-you-Uncle-Sam-you’re-an-American-man now – ** in this case because of the perhaps questionable morals of a Wisconsin farmer’s daughter**.

I think when you struggle, then a goal can become just commercial issues. I understand – I mean, if you’re losing lots of money, you’d like to stop losing lots of money. The problem there is it means you focus on money, and you’re normally losing money because the products aren’t right. And from ‘92 to ‘97, it was a very, very difficult season. One that I am so grateful for – but I still get the shivers sometimes.

This really resonated - and if you read some of the stuff I read - it will ring bells, because it is like life;
the money comes when you stop chasing the money
I also liked Gruberโs extented thought;
Judging them as good or bad isn’t the correct framework. It’s that they weren’t right. There’s an inherent subjectiveness to rightness.

๐ Skype is dead. What happened? - On my Om
Microsoft now talks about Teams being their focus, showing that even today they haven’t realized what made Skype a cultural, consumer force. Microsoft Teams is a terrible product – and I dread using it. In simplest terms, Teams is a perfect encapsulation of a bureaucratic, archaic, and outdated 50-year-old company that is trying to reinvent itself as an AI leader.

It single-handedly destroyed the long-distance calling business. Most young people today don’t remember, but long-distance calls used to cost a lot of money. Especially for immigrants, calling home used to cost a fortune. Skype made it free.
๐ฌ Om Malik
In the early days of podcasting, seemingly every show used Skype because it was so much better than anything else. And it was free! It felt like the future. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that if not for Skype, podcasting would’ve been set back several years.

Sharing these - and Om nailed it in that second quote.
Especially for immigrants, calling home used to cost a fortune. Skype made it free.
I was one of those immigrants calling home.
SAD.
