By having this talk with our children, we can cultivate in them an understanding of and empathy for the plight of their Black peers, so that they are more likely to act in a way that one day eliminates the need for parents of Black children to have "the talk." #BlackLivesMatter

@QuinnyPig I've edited your quote for accuracy: "What once took entire teams to handle at some large AWS customers can now be done on the back of [the world's largest] napkin over [a never-ending] lunch...." ;) Much better than RIs, but not a silver bullet. @TechRepublic

Eric Yuan on leaving @Cisco to start @zoom_us: "On one hand it's a big risk to go from a very well-paid position. On the flip side, I was not happy. The purpose of life is to pursue happiness, and I was not happy. Then what's the risk?" cnbc.com/2019/08/21/zoo…
