Is Peter Thiel the Most Powerful Person in Tech?

There are generally two paths for dealing with someone in power when disagreements arise. One is to confront, and the other is to understand and influence.

What Trump Should Do With Air Force One

Amazon’s Register-Free Grocery Shopping Could Disrupt Retail

Samsung Floats Possibility of Split

I got to experience aspects of the vehicle viscerally, without actually getting into it. ...
