In the recent Stratechery interview with Zuckerberg, Mark seemed to indicate FB has no intention of _owning_ the metaverse. Rather, they want to build the technology and platforms that will go towards enabling it. His quote below:
>We don’t think about this as if different companies are going to build different metaverses. We think about it in terminology like the Mobile Internet. You wouldn’t say that Facebook or Google are building their own Internet and I don’t think in the future it will make sense to say that we are building our own metaverse either. I think we’re each building different infrastructure and components that go towards hopefully helping to build this out overall and I think that those pieces will need to work together in some ways.

I'd be cautious multiplying your MRR x 12 to establish ARR. Things like seasonality or promotions could overestimate your ARR by using inflated subscription numbers. Additionally, if customers are not contractually obligated to stick around for a year, that calculation may not account for month-to-month churn.

Incredibly optimistic about the future for HiOperator. Having run a 100+ agent contact center, they are solving some complicated challenges that many growing companies will undoubtedly face.

One thing that doesn't get talked about very often is the social aspect of fasting. I've learned to just shut up about it because more often than not, people generally think you're crazy.

Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) summarized Al Jazeera's collapse very succinctly:
"Al Jazeera America execs chose early on to try to be a voice-less, diluted version of CNN rather than embracing its global identity & brand."

I wouldn't be threatened. One of the most poignant value propositions is about hosting.
