Should Facebook be broken up?
I think Facebook is too big. I think it's too powerful. I wish there was more competition in tech. But I lean towards thinking our current Department of Justice wouldn't do a great job breaking it up.
What was the coolest thing Google announced at its keynote?
I think probably the high-end phone for $400. To have a competitive high-end smartphone and for half the price - pretty neat!
Was the strike against Uber and Lyft successful?
Probably not. I mean by their very nature, because anybody can join or almost anybody can become an Uber and Lyft driver, it is very hard to organize a strike. I think that's what we saw over the last few days.
What should we all learn from Theranos?
Well, don't trust magical unicorns. But also if you're a journalist, there are amazing stories out there. Go find them.
Keep up with what’s going on around the world - and why it matters.
