Any surprises from Mark Zuckerberg's leaked internal Facebook meetings?

Surprised by anything from Mark Zuckerberg's leaked internal Facebook meetings?

Yes. I'm surprised that they leaked. He's been doing these for years, talking to his staffers, and the full audio has never leaked before.

What does WeWork's botched IPO mean for other Silicon Valley startups?

Not that much. As I've said multiple times in these recordings, WeWork was basically vaporware. It is a company that rented out commercial real estate at a loss, called itself a tech company and then later an enlightenment company. It was kind of a scam and they got called out.

When a country hits rock bottom financially, the International Monetary Fund is meant to step in with funds to stabilize the economy without damaging its society — or the gender gap. But studies show that these programs often push women out of work at a disproportionate rate to men as the economy contracts. Matthew Kendrick reports from the World Bank-IMF Annual Meetings on a push to build more equitable programs.
