Michael Moritz on the Time profile that ended his relationship with Steve Jobs, and whether he was ever in awe of him. "Steve was convinced that he was going to be named Man of the Year, even though nobody had told him that. But worst of all, the profile, which he hated for very good reason, and I was appalled by for different reasons, severed my relationship with Steve. Back then at Time, these things went through an editorial combine harvester. So what came out in the bale at the end probably didn't resemble very much of the straw that got fed in. And so the whole tone of the piece was mali… Quoting @patrick_oshag My conversation with Michael Moritz, one of the great venture investors of the last 40 years. Michael joined Sequoia in 1986 and co-led the firm with Doug Leone (@dougleone) from 1995 to 2012. His investments include Google, Yahoo, PayPal, and Stripe.

Visited a library today which was named after a rich guy from Harvard (class of 1834). Discovered, through very minor research, that the money given to the library (claimed to have been left in his will) was, in fact, given by his sister, the sole beneficiary of his $$ after he left no will at all. After correcting the Wikipedia record on this point, I have now gotten lost reading about The Harvard College Rebellion of 1834 which is about as ridiculous as it sounds. scholarship.law.wm.edu

But they're the person that's on the hook for understanding, for gating, for making sure that someone is deciding what ships, what's blocked, what do we defer. And so, I think that that is something that engineers are going to continue to be valuable for.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
