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

  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.

  @JeremiahDJohns I had to pay my parents so much money for going over my 5 hours a month. Damn AOL chat rooms were addictive in HS!

  @brivael I worked at Time Warner for 24 years, and lost hundreds of thousands of my 401k in the infamous AOL merger that killed off the greatest media company in the world—the worst merger in corporate history. I mostly blame Steve Case and his other AOL cronies, who dumped all their stock right at the merger, while all the TW Execs and employees kept their stock and lost billions. I remember McKinsey’s empty suits seemed to be everywhere at Time Warner drying its death throes, and it always seemed like McKinsey helped orchestrate its collapse.

  @SarahSevans2000 19, somehow never had an AOL address. I think I skipped straight to yahoo or Hotmail.

  @Forbes Peak New Economy: AOL bought Time Warner in 2000/01 in an all-share deal, with a purchase price of about $147bn on the books, often announced as ~$165bn. In 2002, AOL Time Warner then took a $54.2bn goodwill impairment, followed by another $45.5bn write-down. Now AOL is back in the public-market story as part of Bending Spoons’ >$18bn IPO! $BSP

  20. Connected Account Vulnerability The Situation: Back in 2010, you finally made the jump from Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL to Gmail. To make the transition easier, you linked your old legacy account to automatically forward everything into your new Gmail inbox. You haven't logged into that Yahoo account in a decade. The Mechanics: Legacy email platforms like Yahoo and AOL have notoriously outdated, porous spam filters compared to Google's billion-dollar machine learning infrastructure. By using POP3 or IMAP to pull that mail into Gmail, you are essentially bypassing Google's frontline defenses and piping raw, unfiltered internet sewage straight into your pristine Gmail ecosystem. The Fix: It is time to sever the cord. Go to Gmail Settings > Accounts and Import. Look under "Check mail from other accounts." Delete the legacy connections. If you absolutely still need access to that ancient Hotmail account for banking resets, log into it directly, aggressively clean it, and set up incredibly strict server-side rules there before allowing it anywhere near your primary hub.
