For Israel to retain its amazing position as the largest concentration of high tech after Silicon Valley, we need more engineers and mathematicians. We have too many lawyers.

I want to bring a Big 12 championship to Tech.

Outsourcing, in and of itself, isn't responsible for the erosion of America's high tech infrastructure. The short-term thinking that led to a lot of bad outsourcing decisions is the root cause. And short-term thinking isn't a problem confined to the executive suite. It's a problem in Washington and in our society as a whole.

Every tech product on the body like Jawbone or in the home like August is different. But there are definitely principles that apply across the board for me, such as integration in everyday life and discretion.

The media people need to have real tech people, and the tech people need media people. Otherwise, you have the 'Star Wars' bar on Tatooine with everyone fighting.

I was lucky. I got university degrees and had a successful tech and finance career. But many of my generation weren't.

The belief that the law will never 'catch up' to technology is borne in part of tech exceptionalism, a libertarian elitism that derides any kind of legal or regulatory impediment as Luddism.

Representation is so important because it's hard for kids to want to be what they can't see. Little girls and boys need to know that it's natural for girls to love science and tech.

A conservative vision to tech issues assumes the imperfection of mankind and a preference for markets - not politics - to drive outcomes.

I probably shouldn't admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books.

Make sure you have a clear understanding of your values and intent, then use technology to enable that. What the tech won't do is compensate for a lack of strategy.

Most buildings, whether they're Gothic cathedrals or Romanesque ones, were high tech for their time.

Within tech, there's a subgroup of people that are pro crypto and pro blockchain. That's a very, very robust network and they're awesome.

While at Cal Tech I talked a lot with Jon Mathews, then a junior faculty member; he taught me how to use the Institute's computer; we also went on hikes together.

AIs are only as good as the data they are trained on. And while many of the tech giants working on AI, like Google and Facebook, have open-sourced some of their algorithms, they hold back most of their data.

They can shout down the head of the physics department at Cal Tech.

I am not tech savvy.

While there should be collective efforts to increase tech inclusion overall, the industry must work to specifically attract and retain women of color.

None of most powerful tech companies answer to what's best for people, only to what's best for them.

Engineering talent is the most precious resource for any technology company - Palantir and Addepar are successful first and foremost because of their top tech cultures, and the same is true for our best portfolio companies at 8VC.
