Are we we are letting Zuck off the hook saying "on par with what Microsoft did when investing in Xbox at its peak"? Xbox was just copying/offering a slight alternative to a existing multi-decade profit proven console platform so less risky than creating a new category? It is nice to see he is going to focus on FoA as he has great birds in the hand already.
I don't want to let anyone off the hook, I just found it an interesting framing. I don't have any expectations for RL and the hardware. If I am pleasantly surprised, so be it. If it fails, lets hope sooner rather than later so that associated can cut and refunnelled into the exceptional core biz.

Great writing!
Thanks, Nick! Much appreciated.
Nice post! Little known fact: I got a school record for high jump back in the day. :)
Thank you, Joe! That's fantastic. I never did high jump, or track for that matter. Soccer was my sport of choice growing up.
Great read.
Thank you, Ben!
