  I worked from home no doubt. Started with fax machines. We actually used high resolution fax machines to transfer camera ready artwork. Long before AOL dial up. F.I.N.S. works with all software or no computer at all like morse code after a first strike during the Cold War my SOS.

  19. I never had an AOL account. I jumped in hard on Earthlink back then.

  WSJ profiled Bending Spoons this week — the Milan company that owns AOL, Evernote, and Vimeo, run by executives in their 30s and staffed by people who are sometimes younger than the software they've been hired to fix. It's actually a story about why so many applicants never make it through the door. Hundreds of thousands apply every year — enough that the rejection rate makes Harvard look like an easy yes — and most of them are optimizing for the wrong thing: credentials, polish, a great answer to "tell me about yourself." Almost anyone can be gracious to the person deciding their future. It's how they treat someone who can't do anything for them that's hard to fake. Last year: roughly 800,000 applications, 286 hires, an acceptance rate near 0.04% — tighter than Citadel's famously selective quant recruiting (0.36%), something like a hundred times harder than Harvard. That selectivity isn't a gut call. A dedicated team inside the company grades every interview against fixed criteria, then tracks how each hire performs months and years later, feeding the results back into the model. CEO Luca Ferrari has said the signal his team weights hardest is exactly this — how a candidate treats the people who have zero power over the outcome: the assistant, the receptionist. Not decency theater. Data: how you act in front of power is a performance; how you act in front of none is closer to the truth. That gap gets coded straight into the model, right alongside the interview scores. I'd bet you've done the reverse of this in the last week without noticing — warm with your boss, a little short with someone who couldn't do anything for you either way. Most companies say they hire for character. Very few test it anywhere the candidate isn't being watched by someone who can help them. Worth trying on your own team — just notice who's kind to the person who can't do anything for them.

  @cmsinvests MSFT can never fail right? Just like AOL and Yahoo. Guaranteed to outperform the index in 40 years.

  @ColonelFalcon Back in the day, people thought AOL was too big to fail. Then they did, and very quickly. Their massive campus complex was leveled to build a data center that serviced the many startups that sprang up around them in Silicon Valley. Sony is not too big to fail either.

  @GiniferL Authorized. So it wants me to authorize it. The problem is I bought that 20 years ago with a long gone AOL account. You gotta be ******* kidding me. I paid for that music. I haven't bought many digital downloads and I sure as ****** aren't going to anymore. Apple Buzz Kill. 😑

  @YourFavWV Never did AOL. I fixed a lot of computers for people who did. Not an impressive cross section of humanity.
