Can't get a job at Facebook?
You can always sell your startup to Zuckerberg for $19 billion.
Here's the crazy story of WhatsApp👇
Jan Koum met Brian Acton in 1998.
They spent 9 years working together at Yahoo and became good friends.
But in 2007, they both left Yahoo with some cash and no plans.
At first Acton and Koum applied to Facebook
...and failed
they were proud members of the "Facebook reject club"
In January 2009, Jan Koum bought an iPhone and thought,
"Wow, this new App Store could be huge."
At the time, the App Store was 7 months old.
So he met with a friend named Alex Fishman to brainstorm app ideas.
Koum thought it would be fun to put statuses next to friends' names in your address book.
So he went to RentACoder..com to hire a guy to build the 1st version.

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x
The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x
Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x
The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x
It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
As someone\u2019s who\u2019s read the book, this review strikes me as tremendously unfair. It mostly faults Adler for not writing the book the reviewer wishes he had! https://t.co/pqpt5Ziivj
