Could the Trump Phone be a good phone?

We have long had our doubts about the Trump Phone. Since its very first debut, the device – technically called the Trump Mobile T1 Phone 8002 – has seemed utterly impossible to execute as advertised. The Trump Mobile team has also spent the last eight months rapidly moving the goalposts, changing specs and making increasingly […]

Siemens CEO Roland Busch’s mission to automate everything

Today, I’m talking with Roland Busch, who is the CEO of Siemens. Siemens is one of those absolutely giant, extremely important, but fairly opaque companies we love to dig into on Decoder.

Today, I’m talking with Allan Thygesen, who is the CEO of Docusign. You know Docusign; it’s the platform where you sign things online. It turns out 7,000 people work there, which is one of those facts you see flying around sometimes that’s always felt like perfect Decoder bait. What are all those people doing? And […]

Tim Cook is destroying his own legacy

What responsibility do you have to speak up about bad things happening in the world? Does that responsibility change when speaking up might affect your business? What about if you’re a sports creator, or the moderator of a deeply NSFW subreddit? What about if you’re just a little ol’ phone website? Ultimately, everyone has to […]

Netflix is eating Hollywood — because it has to

On today’s episode of Decoder, I’m talking about the bidding war over Warner Bros. Discovery, which is the biggest story in the entertainment industry right now, and for good reason. It has pretty much everything you could want in a buzzy Hollywood saga — big names, big money, and big drama. Right now, the winning […]

Truth and AI in Minneapolis

When federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, video of the shooting – from lots of people, and lots of angles, with wildly varying levels of quality – immediately began to fly around the internet. This is what always happens in times like these, and there have unfortunately been a lot of […]
