  8. "Social networks are in for a rude copyright awakening. A new European Union law called Article 17 essentially eradicates safe harbor and requires that theyve made their best effort to get licenses from rights holders for all content on their platform". (March 6, 2020)
  9. "Its an open secret that every company is on fire, says Kintaba co-founder John Egan. At any given moment something is going horribly wrong in a way that it has never gone wrong before. Code failure downtimes, server outages and hack attacks plague engineering teams". (February 10, 2020)
