Live from Georgetown - Standing for Voice and Free Expression.

Zuckerberg habló hoy durante 40 minutos en la Universidad de Georgetown. y luego hice un Q&A para compartir sus pensamientos sobre el discurso y "cómo podríamos abordar los desafíos que presentan más voz e Internet, y las principales amenazas a la libre expresión en todo el mundo". Discutió cómo "Queremos el progreso de la libre expresión sin la tensión". llevando a las personas a abogar por hacer retroceder la libre expresión. "¿Dónde se traza la línea?"
norte
Zuckerberg dice que Facebook ahora tiene 35,000 personas trabajando en seguridad, y el presupuesto de seguridad de la compañía es más alto ahora que los ingresos totales de la compañía cuando se OPI, que fue de $ 5 mil millones en 2012. Facebook elimina o descalifica el contenido que es objetivamente peligroso. Aún así, dice que no quiere "dejar que la definición de lo que es peligroso se expanda más allá de lo que es absolutamente necesario".
norte
Al acuñar una nueva frase, Zuckerberg señaló que "las personas que tienen el poder de expresarse a escala son un nuevo tipo de fuerza en el mundo u2014 un quinto estado junto con las otras estructuras de poder de la sociedad ".
Al permitir anuncios políticos en Facebook, incluso si contienen información errónea, Zuckerberg argumenta que "los anuncios políticos pueden ser una parte importante de la voz, especialmente para los candidatos locales, retadores y grupos de defensa que los medios de comunicación no podrían cubrir de otra manera. De esa forma pueden expresar su voz en el debate ”. Si bien eso puede ser cierto, el mismo sistema permite que cualquier grupo o candidato que tenga más fondos domine la narrativa.
norte
Hace poco sostuve que Facebook debería eliminar todos los anuncios políticos hasta que se apruebe la reglamentación para evitar su uso para difundir información errónea. El presidente Trump está gastando más que muchos de sus rivales del partido demócrata combinados mientras usa mentiras sobre que planean eliminar la segunda enmienda para recaudar dinero.
norte
norte
Aún así, Zuckerberg argumenta que "prohibir los anuncios políticos favorece a los titulares ya quienes decidan cubrir los medios". No se refirió a quién gasta más o cómo Facebook aún podría ofrecer la libre expresión de candidatos a sus propios seguidores, incluso si prohibiera los anuncios políticos. Básicamente no hizo distinción entre la libertad de expresión y la libertad de alcance, también conocida como amplificación paga a través de anuncios. Instagram El CEO Adam Mosseri se hizo eco de este sentimiento, equiparando anuncios y discurso, tuiteando "Creo que la gente merece escuchar lo que dicen los políticos y tomar sus propias decisiones". Sin embargo, después de una discusión, Mosseri aceptado A menudo desearía poder prohibir los anuncios políticos, pero dije que sería complejo definir qué calificaba y qué no.

norte
Si soy sincero, a menudo desearía poder hacerlo, ciertamente no vale la pena los ingresos. Pero permitir que todos menos los políticos publiquen anuncios políticos no tiene sentido. Y rechazar todos los anuncios políticos se complica rápidamente, solo piense en cuántas marcas se inclinan por los problemas políticos en los últimos tiempos.
Confiar en favorecer el argumento de los titulares ignora cómo el presidente Trump gastó $ 4.9 millones en anuncios de Facebook este año en comparación con $ 9.6 millones gastados por los 23 candidatos demócratas combinados, y que Trump había les gastó a todos juntos a partir de marzo. Prohibir los anuncios políticos no evitaría que los candidatos digan lo que quieren y sean juzgados, pero evitaría que el discurso de los candidatos más ricos tenga más peso.

norte
En general, Zuckerberg sonaba más apasionado y empático que en sus recientes testimonios en Capitol Hill. Parecía asumir algo de la cadencia y el tono del ex presidente Barack Obama, alzando la voz para enfatizar la urgencia de los desafíos que enfrenta la democracia. Sin embargo, el formato de discurso le permitió a Zuckerberg evitar el rechazo inmediato de sus puntos, como por qué la publicidad política favorece a los retadores si es el titular con la mayor cantidad de dinero para gastar. Zuckerberg tuvo un Preguntas y respuestas después de su discurso, pero el flujo de eso no se transmitió desde su página como los comentarios preparados, y en su mayoría reiteró puntos del discurso.
norte
Zuckerberg llevó a casa un tema importante roscado a lo largo de la charla, sin embargo. Intentó vincular la idea de que las empresas de EE. UU. Podrían vigilar la libre expresión para proteger la seguridad y las elecciones con la forma en que China censura el discurso. Y mientras otras compañías como la NBA y Blizzard que hacen negocios importantes con el país intentan minimizar su influencia, Zuckerberg habló sobre cómo los tentáculos de los valores de China están ahogando el discurso más allá de sus fronteras.

China está exportando sus valores sociales, los anuncios políticos son una parte importante de la libre expresión y la definición de discurso peligroso debe mantenerse bajo control, sostuvo hoy el CEO de Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, en un discurso en la Universidad de Georgetown. Criticó cómo las empresas estadounidenses que hacen negocios con China se estaban influenciando por los valores del país. […]

El hecho de que Nvidia esté actualizando su hardware Shield TV ya ha sido telegrafiado a través de una presentación de la FCC, pero una fuga de hoy pinta mucho más de una imagen detallada. Una lista de Amazon para un nuevo dispositivo de transmisión de decodificador Nvidia Shield Pro se publicó brevemente antes de ser retirada, mostrando un diseño de hardware familiar y un nuevo control remoto y enumerando algunas de las próximas actualizaciones de características nuevas para esta generación de hardware.
norte
El perfil, captada por el ojo de águila Rumores de Android TV y compartido a través de Twitter, incluye un precio de $ 199.99, especificaciones que incluyen 3 GB de RAM, 2 puertos USB, un nuevo chip Nvidia Tegra X1 + y 16 GB de almacenamiento a bordo. Además del precio, la lista de Amazon tenía una fecha de lanzamiento para el nuevo hardware del 28 de octubre.
norte
Si esto Amazonas la página es precisa (y de hecho parece una página de producto oficial que cabría esperar de Nvidia), el procesador del nuevo Shield TV será "hasta un 25% más rápido que la generación anterior" y ofrecerá "mejora de inteligencia artificial de próxima generación" para mejorar la calidad del video HD en pantallas con capacidad 4K.
norte
Ofrecerá soporte para Dolby Vision HDR, además de sonido envolvente con soporte Dolby Atmos, y proporcionará "la mayor cantidad de contenido 4K HDR de cualquier reproductor de medios de transmisión". También está integrado Google Asistencia de asistente, que se ofreció en el hardware existente, y funcionará con Alexa para el control de manos libres.
Las fotos de características de la lista muestran un nuevo control remoto, que tiene un diseño similar a una pirámide, así como muchos botones más dedicados en la cara. Hay retroiluminación y un desintegrador IR para control de TV, así como un "localizador remoto perdido incorporado" según la página de Amazon ahora eliminada.
norte
Esta página de Amazon sin duda pinta una imagen completa de qué esperar, y parece una actualización convincente para estar seguro. Sin embargo, la lista ya no está, así que estad atentos para averiguar si esto es realmente real y si este transmisor actualizado estará disponible pronto.
norte
ACTUALIZACIÓN: u00a0Otra fuga de Nvidia siguió a la primera, esta vez a través del minorista Newegg (a través de Thmi Verge) This is different, however, and features a Shield TV device (no “Pro” in the name) that has almost all the same specs, but a much smaller design that includes a microSD card, and seems to have half the amount of on-board storage (8GB versus 16GB) and a retail price of around $150.

Airbnb may be another overvalued “unicorn,” but it’s no WeWork.
n
The Information this morning reportado new Airbnb financials u2014 indicating a massive increase in operating losses u2014 that immediately call Airbnb’s future into question. Precisely, Airbnb lost $306 million on operations on $839 million in revenue, namely as a result of marketing spend, in the first quarter of 2019. In total, Airbnb invested $367 million in sales and marketing, representing a 58% increase year-over-year, in Q1. The company is gearing up for a major liquidity event next year and is making a concerted effort to rake in new customers, as any soon-to-be-public business would.
n
Given WeWork’s sudden demise, coupled with Uber and Lyft’s lukewarm performances on the stock markets, many have wondered how Wall Street will respond to Airbnb’s eventual IPO prospectus. Will money managers have an appetite for another over-valued Silicon Valley darling? Or will the market compete like mad for shares in the massive home-sharing marketplace?
n
But Airbnb, again, is no WeWork, and I wager Wall Street will have a much friendlier approach to its offering. For one, Airbnb’s co-founder and chief executive officer Brian Chesky isn’t dropping $60 million on private jets u2014 I don’t think. CEO behaviors aside, Airbnb has more capital in the bank than it has raised in its entire 11-year history, which is a whole lot of money. This is all according to a source who is familiar with Airbnbu2019s financials and shared this detail with TechCrunch following The Information’s Thursday morning report. As for Airbnb, the company told TechCrunch, “we canu2019t comment on the figures, but 2019 is a big investment year in support of our hosts and guests.”

n
Airbnb has attracted more than $3.5 billion in equity funding at a $31 billion valuation and has even more locked away in its bank account. Additionally, Airbnb has an untouched $1 billion credit line, the source said. Presumably, the referenced credit line is the 2016 $1 billion debt financing from JPMorgan, CitiGroup, Morgan Stanley y otros.
n
Moreover, Airbnb has been u201ccumulativelyu201d free cash flow positive for some time, meaning that it’s seen more money coming in than going out during recent quarters, according to our source. It has been reported that Airbnb surpassed $1 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2019 and in the third quarter of 2018, but we’re guessing the business did not top $1 billion in Q4 of 2018 or Q1 of 2019 because it if had, that information would probably have been “leaked.”
n
Finally, Airbnb has been profitable on an EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) basis for two consecutive years, the company announced in January. Gross bookings, meanwhile, are growing, as is Airbnb’s business offering and its experiences product.
n
Why does any of this matter, you ask?

Founded in a small Copenhagen apartment in 2004, Unity Technologiesu2019 makes a game engine u2014 a software platform for building video games. But the company, which was recently valued around $6 billion and could be headedtoward an IPO, is becoming much more than that.

u201cUnity wants to be the 3D operating system of the world,u201d says Sylvio Drouin, VP of the Unity Labs R&D team.
n
Customers can design, buy, or import digital assets like forests, sound effects, and aliens and create the logic guiding how all these elements interact with players. Nearly half of the worldu2019s games are built with Unity, which is particularly popular among mobile game developers.u00a0
n
And in the fourteen years since Unityu2019s engine launched, the size of the global gaming market has exploded from $27 billion a $135 billion, driven by the rise of mobile gaming, which now comprises the majority of the market.
n
Unity is increasingly used for 3D design and simulations across other industries like film, automotive, and architecture and is now used to create 60% of all augmented and virtual reality experiences. That positions Unity u2014 as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg argued in a 2015 memo in favor of acquiring it u2014 as a key platform for the next wave of consumer technology after mobile.
n
Unityu2019s growth is a case study of Clayton Christensenu2019s theory of disruptive innovation.While other game engines targeted the big AAA game makers at the top of the console and PC markets, Unity went after independent developers with a less robust product that was better suited to their needs and budget.u00a0
n
As it gained popularity, the company captured growth in frontier market segments and also expanded upmarket to meet the needs of higher-performance game makers. Today, itu2019s making a push to become the top engine for building anything in interactive 3D.

This article is part of my ongoing research into the future of interactive media experiences. This research has included interviews with dozens of developers, executives, and investors in gaming and other industries, including interviews with over 20 Unity executives.

Founding
n
Unity was founded in Copenhagen by Nicholas Francis, Joachim Ante, and David Helgason. Its story began on an OpenGL forum in May 2002, where Francis posted a call for collaborators on an open source shader-compiler (graphics tool) for the niche population of Mac-based game developers like himself. It was Ante, then a high school student in Berlin, who responded.u00a0
n
Ante complemented Francisu2019 focus on graphics and gameplay with an intuitive sense for back-end architecture. Because the game he was working on with another team wasnu2019t going anywhere, they collaborated on the shader part-time while each pursued their own game engine projects, but decided to combine forces upon meeting in-person. In a sprint to merge the codebases of their engines, they camped out in Helgasonu2019s apartment for several days while he was out of town. The plan was to start a game studio grounded in robust tech infrastructure that could be licensed as well.
n
Helgason and Francis had worked together since high school, working on various web development ventures and even short-lived attempts at film production. Helgason dropped in and out of the University of Copenhagen while working as a freelance web developer. He provided help where he could and joined full-time after several months, selling his small stake in a web development firm to his partners.u00a0
n
According to Ante, Helgason was u201cgood with peopleu201d and more business-oriented, so he took the CEO title after the trio failed to find a more experienced person for the role. (It would be two years before Ante and Francis extended the co-founder title and a corresponding amount of equity to Helgason.)
n
They recruited a rotating cast to help them for free while prototyping a wide range of ideas. The diversity of ideas they pursued resulted in an engine that could handle a broad range of use cases. Commercializing the engine became a focus, as was coming up with a hit game that would show the engine off to its best advantage; for indie developers, having to reconstruct an engine with every new game idea was a pain point that, if solved, would enable more creative output.u00a0
n
Supported by their savings, a u20ac25,000 investment from Anteu2019s father, and Helgasonu2019s part-time job at a cafu00e9, they pressed on for three years, incorporating in the second year (2004) with the name Over The Edge Entertainment.
n
The game they ultimately committed to launching in spring 2005, GooBall, was u201cway too hard to play,u201d says Ante and didnu2019t gain much traction. Recognizing that they were better at building development tools and prototypes than commercially-viable games, they bet their company on the goal of releasing a game engine for the small Mac-based developer community. Linking the connotations of collaboration and cross-compatibility, they named the engine Unity.

Over the past few years, gig economy companies and the treatment of their labor force has become a hot button issue for public and private sector debate.

At our recent annual Disrupt event in San Francisco, we dug into how founders, companies and the broader community can play a positive role in the gig economy, with help fromu00a0Derecka Mehrens, an executive director atu00a0Working Partnerships USAu00a0and co-founder ofu00a0Silicon Valley Rising u2014 an advocacy campaign focused on fighting for tech worker rights and creating an inclusive tech economy u2014 andu00a0Amanda de Cadenet, founder ofu00a0Girlgaze, a platform that connects advertisers with a network of 200,000 female-identifying and non-binary creatives.

n
And so you have a situation in which the system we put together to create employment, to create our communities, to build our housing, to give us jobs is dysfunctional. And within that, folks are going to come up with disruptive solutions to pieces of it with a promise in mind to solve a problem. But without a larger solution, that will end up, in our view, exacerbating existing inequalities.

Welcome to this edition of The Operators, a recurring Extra Crunch column produced by insiders with executive experience at companies like AirBnB, Brex, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Lyft, Slack, Square, Twitter, and Uber, sharing their stories and insights. Itu2019s made for founders who are navigating domains outside their expertise, covering topics they may be learning for the first time like enterprise sales, product management, and finance/accounting.
n
In this episode:
n
n
When and how should a company seek press coverage?
n
The difference between marketing and communications
n
Building relationships with reporters
n
Being or identifying a great communications leader
n
n
Early on, most founders and investors focus on getting positive press, but if theyu2019re unfortunate or make mistakes, mitigating bad coverage becomes a common goal. Broadly, communications consists of how and what information to share, both inside and outside of the company, touching domains like management, recruiting, marketing, and business development. Itu2019s also highly optimizable and often, mission critical u2014 the difference between dramatic success and catastrophic failure.
n
We spoke with three communications experts to learn more:
n
n
Sean Garrett was Twitter’s first VP of Communications. He previously worked for Governor Pete Wilson of California and has founded two separate communications firms, with clients including Slack, Cisco, and Disney. Heu2019s currently a Managing Partner at Pramana Collective.
n
Faryl Ury is a former reporter with experience at NPR and the Associated Press. Her communications experience also began in government, working for US Senator Jeanne Shaheen before managing comms at Square and Uber. She was then a marketing executive at Dropbox before becoming the Director of Communications at Aurora, a leading autonomous vehicle company, with investors including Sequoia Capital, Amazon, and Hyundai.
n
Adi Raval started as a journalist at ABC News and the BBC, covering 9/11, the Iraq War, and the White House. He moved into government as a diplomat for the State Department serving in Afghanistan, and later, as a spokesperson and Director of Communications at USAID. After leaving government, Adi was the top communications executive for the Bechtel Corporation, the Head of Comms and PR for TaskRabbit, and now the Head of Communications at Kodiak Robotics. Heu2019s also a term member for the Council on Foreign Relations.
n
n
Below is a synthesized summary of our conversation; check out The Operators for the full episode.
n
When and how should a company seek press coverage?
n
Investors love to see public recognition of their portfolio companies, and founders sometimes believe press coverage will solve all their problems, yielding a panacea of inbound customers, employees, and new backers. Whether itu2019s a fundraising announcement or a product launch, more exposure can only help, right? Of course, thatu2019s not always true. Being unprepared for an influx of inbound interest can lead to bad experiences and a negative reputation.
n
What’s more likely than a bad response? No response at all: reporters are constantly pitched by entrepreneurs seeking coverage who don’t have a compelling story to share, which means most of them are primed to say “no.”
n
Faryl told us that when she asks founders why they want to do press, they often answer, “our investors told us to,” or “I talked to other entrepreneurs and they do press.” Being prepared for the response means knowing what you want the response to be, which in turn means knowing what you have to say, and why anyone will listen and respond the right way. Thinking through this exercise involves asking questions, said Sean, specifically, u201cwhat is your positioning? What is your messaging? And for some organizations, that’s the right first step to figure out, at a high level, what are we even trying to accomplish here…?u201d
n
Having a clear purpose in mind before approaching reporters will also help you execute. For some startups, landing a story with trade press may be better than being written up by a generalized tech publication. On the other hand, if youu2019re spending a ton of money on Facebook and Google to advertise directly to consumers, getting coverage in the right publications may be much more efficient and impactful.u00a0

CEO explains how the company ‘fully embraces’ streaming"},"content":{"rendered":"
Does TiVo has a future beyond the DVR?
n
Dave Shull certainly hopes so. The former Weather Channel CEO joined the company as president and CEO back in May, and when I spoke to him last month, he insisted that he’s excited and optimistic about the company’s prospects.
n
In fact, he said the DVR business “is not really TiVo” nunca más. And the proliferation of streaming services is exactly what’s creating a big new opportunity for the company, one where it can help consumers navigate the seemingly overwhelming streaming landscape.
n
“Let’s embrace the chaos,” Shull told me. “The more streaming, the better.”
n
In the interview below u2014 which has been edited and condensed for clarity u2014 we discuss why he took on the job, how he plans to split TiVo into two companies and his plans for TiVo+, the company’s ad-supported streaming service (which launched earlier this week.)
n
TechCrunch: It seems like part of the goal with you coming on as CEO is this idea of reinventing the company for the world of streaming.
n
Dave Shull: We fully embrace the streaming wars at TiVo, is what I would say.
n
A little bit of context. I’ve known the company for years, because I’ve been familiar with some of the technology pieces that they had in the IP portfolio. But before I took the job, I talked to CTOs at some of the major operators around the world and said, “TiVo, right? I mean this is a company I’ve heard of, but are they still around?” And the answer consistently was, “Yeah, it’s actually the best technology out there.”
n
So I started talking to the board and eventually I get the job offer. I walk into a Best Buy and I pick up a Roku box and a TiVo box. I install the Roku box. It’s a brilliant installation process, absolutely brilliant. But then what it gives you is a bunch of different tiles for each of the apps. And so you have to figure out, okay, was that show on Netflix or Hulu?
n
The TiVo experience was a little bit u2014 it needed some more work, is the polite way to say it. But once I had it installed, it’s taken my live TV and my on-demand Prime, Netflix, Hulu and some digital content and pulled it all together. That’s pretty cool because it’s allowing me to find the entertainment that I want to watch tonight, right?
n
And so we’re betting on this chaos of applications that are out there with the streaming wars, saying people are having fatigue from subscriptions and they are desperate to find an amazing way to go back to enjoying watching their TV again. They want someone who can bring all this entertainment together u2014 on-demand, live, digital u2014 and make it fun to find, to watch TV again. So that’s our mission. Very simple.
n
I came in three months ago. The first mandate is, we’ve decided to split the company. So about half of the company is an IP portfolio, 5,000 patents. Then we have the TiVo product base u2014 and everyone thinks of TiVo as this DVR that you buy at Best Buy. That’s really not TiVo, that’s a tiny fraction of our customers. We have 22 million households around the world that use TiVo to provide exactly what I just said, which is this amazing ability to find entertainment.

Every early-stage startup needs exposure to survive and thrive. Exposure to potential customers, to accredited media and to investors with the backing to make dreams come true. Our TC Top Picks provides exposure to possibility.

If your startup falls into one of the categories listed below, we want you. TechCrunch editors will vet the applications and choose up to five startups that represent the best of each category: AI/Machine Learning, Biotech/Healthtech, Blockchain, Fintech, Mobility, Privacy/Security, Retail/E-commerce, Robotics/IoT/Hardware, CRM/Enterprise and Education.
n
If you earn a TC Top Pick designation, you receive a free Startup Alley Exhibitor Package and a VIP experience. Your package includes one full day exhibiting in Startup Alley (the Disrupt expo floor), three Founder passes, press lists and invitations to networking parties, to name just a few perks.
n
Our Top Picks cohort generates a lot of curiosity, and Disrupt attendees flock to Startup Alley to meet and greet. Itu2019s networking nirvana, where you can connect with potential customers, investors, mentors, collaborators u2014 think infinite opportunity.
n
And yet another great opportunity awaits. TechCrunch editors interview each Top Pick startup live on the Showcase Stage. While we promote the interview video across our social media platforms, you can use it to drive traffic to your website and as a long-term marketing tool for pitching investors and customers.
n
And then thereu2019s the Wild Card. TechCrunch editors will pick one early-stage startup exhibiting in the Alley to be the Wild Card, and that startup will compete in Startup Battlefield, our epic pitch competition. Itu2019s a chance to win even more investor and media love along with the $50,000 prize.
