Netflix and can you spin up a new business model?
Posted byJessica E. Lessin
The Information
Just back from vacation and catching up on this great profile of Netflix's struggles to build an ad business. The company is clearly making some progress and I think the tradeoffs are really real when it comes to different business models.

Digesting the Apple news, I think this may go down as the day that the world realizes AI isn’t a whole new class of product. It is an amazing leap forward in features that can be powerfully unlocked by companies with the right kind of structured data. What do you think?

Curious what you all think: is this a sign that Apple and Cook are being disciplined or is it a sign that the company can't innovate any more and may run out of big new growth areas?

It's been five years since my last trip to Beijing.  I can't wait to see what the country and tech sector are like at this moment and to understand how the U.S. government draws the line on promoting business between the two nations while also tightenin...
