The Menu Bar

Zac goes one on one with Federico Viticci to discuss the tech angle having puppies, the line Apple walks with privacy, the scaleability of ethics in business, the difficulty of being balanced online, the big ideas of Beats Music, how playlists changed the way artists make music, why Netflix binging might be bad, the emotional element that's missing in digital consumption, and the benefit of Thinking Different.

Kelly Guimont joins Zac and Andrew to discuss hard to pronounce last names, clacky keyboards, App Camp For Girls, what can be done for women already in tech, growing up with technology, being a Portland weirdo, and the incredible power of enthusiasm.

Sonya Mann joins Zac and Andrew to discuss crypto currency diet philosophies, Netflix's ratings system, Apple's potential streaming play, peak Apple, whether or not Steve Jobs was a monster, the potential for blockchain to change the world, how having kids effects Zac's worldview about tech, the increasing difficulty of communicating online, toeing ideological lines, the next step in human evolution, one giant wave, determinism V free will, and the danger of tying a company with your identity.

Marco Arment joins Zac and Andrew at the bar to talk about Ads vs Patreon, the end game for social networks, the trouble you get into for criticizing Apple, iPod as the new Vinyl, and the very sad state of affairs with newer MacBook keyboards.

Zac and Andrew are joined by Dan Masters to discuss the big issues that Twitter faces, the relationship between ads and censorship, how Apple's privacy policy is a non-solution, and we ask 'What do we want anyway?'

Bob Burrough drops by the bar to discuss his history as a software engineer, the seven years he spent at Apple, his reasons for leaving, and we ponder why we care so much about this company.
