  At the start of this decade, tech was full of promise. Then it evaporated. Read an oral history of the 2010s, as told by Mark Zuckerberg, Edward Snowden, the founders of Instagram, Brianna Wu, Ellen Pao, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, and more. https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Michael Lynton (then at Sony now Snap) on the North Korea attack: “We got no support from our fellow movie studios, no support from the mayor of Los Angeles, no support from then-Attorney General Kamala Harris.” https://twitter.com/...
