Long periods of time are spent blocking and tackling and going through the motions.
Short periods of time can change your life.
Think slow, work fast.
A thread on entrepreneurship and what folks don't understand about opportunity.
Long periods of time are spent blocking and tackling and going through the motions.
Short periods of time can change your life.
But...
When the opportunity arose and they seized it.
They seized an opportunity and did work over a short period of time and they harvest the fruit for years or generations.
You see the gazelle in the field. You chase and tackle the gazelle. And you bring it back to camp and feed your family.
Then you lay on a rock for a few days.
Chances to chase that gazelle in the field.
Enough chances where even if you miss it, you gain the knowledge to know how to get it home next time.
Owners keep you sprinting and sprinting and sprinting.
And when you don't catch anything...
They give you just enough of what someone else caught to keep you from starving so you can hunt again tomorrow.
You hand it off to someone else.
And they give you just enough to keep you from starving so you can hunt again tomorrow.
So you spend a lot of time hunting and not very much time sitting on a rock.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
