As a data geek, this CNN coverage of the Georgia election bugs me. We had a reasonable idea of what the outcome is going to be 3+ hours ago thx to the nyt needle, and CNN is still acting like this is a sports game where anything is possible. Just feeds the conspiracy theorists.

Cool to see tech similar to what we built at Junglee, 25 years ago, being used for vaccine availability in WA. A Junglee colleague used it to find and sched vaccine and alerted me to it. covidwa.com

Has India ever had more medals than the US, at any point ever, in the Olympics? well, it happened today for what is likely a very brief moment in time 😀

An important must-read book by Sukhinder Singh Cassidy. Nice to see her mention her time at Junglee so positively! Will never forget, after our Amazon acquisition, they asked me: who is this Sukhinder? a person or a department? 🤣🤣🤣 #ChoosePossibility

The $fb miss imho was about TikTok. To build Reels, have to get to massive scale first before the monetization engine can kick in. Very expensive in near term - replacing high value Insta inventory with low value Reels. Shd have bought TikTok in 2016 fortune.com/2019/11/13/fac…

Think people (Jeff Bezos) have the China-Elon angle wrong. China has always had leverage on Elon. The twitter deal gives Elon some leverage on China for the first time. At this point we shd view some of these billionaires like nation-states 😀
