The system is that there is no system.
That doesn’t mean we don’t have process.
Apple is a very disciplined company, and we have great processes.
But that’s not what it’s about.
Process makes you more efficient.
But innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or
calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or
because they realized something that shoots holes
in how we’ve been thinking about a problem.
It’s ad hoc meetings of six people called by someone
who thinks he has figured out the coolest new thing ever and
who wants to know what other people think of his idea.
And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure
we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much.
We’re always thinking about new markets we could enter,
but it’s only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.

I recently read one libertarian criticizing those like me who have objected to the Clinton email DOJ decision on grounds of the rule of law— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 26, 2016
His point is that enforcement of the law was unjust, period, i.e., others should not have been charged either, two wrongs don't make a right— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 26, 2016
The problem I have with this analysis of equality under the law is that the govt funds itself by force. It must be accountable to the people— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 26, 2016

@Eddie_He03 @nytpolitics This is government whitewash BS. The fact of the matter is that the British had evacuated diplomats from Benghazi.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 26, 2016

@Eddie_He03 @nytpolitics Not only did Clinton keep the mission in an insecure area open, but she allowed Amb.. Stevens to go there on 9/11— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 26, 2016
