He looks so much like Gary Oldman. It must be the Zorg haircut.

We only get a summary, not a transcript, but:

I think this speaks far more about Netanyahu than it does about Biden. I have no doubt he'd double down on the crazy if the U.S. unilaterally ceased support, even going so far as to threaten or use nukes. Menachem was under significant economic and political pressure in his own country at the time, Netanyahu isn't facing that yet. His own people will have to force his hand before a foreign leader can.

Themselves. I'm just saying internally they run it like an investment fund. Example: https://medium.com/design-ibm/area-631-what-i-learned-in-ibms-start-up-and-innovation-program-d87ed98f9549

It's basically an investment fund that runs the companies it invests in, like Alphabet, but with a bigger mix of real estate and finance investments thrown in.

IBM is 100, but the Internet didn't exist in 1924, so we'll say the clock starts in 1989. I'm pretty sure at least MS or IBM will be around in 15 years.

That's fucked up, I'm sorry you had to live through that.

Now I wonder what "Aaaaakshually" sounds like in ancient Greek.

Imagine scrolling back in the Slack chat 50 years to find that one thing someone said about how the chip bypass worked.
