reddygaru··on Ask HN: How does Apple know what to build next?
I don't think a company follows ONE process to decide what to build.

Sometimes it's reactionary. If Google builds a truly world class camera that is so cutting edge that it makes iPhone camera look like a joke, then AAPL will be forced to build a similar one to keep it's market share.

Otherwise, I would say Steve Jobs decided what to build next.

reddygaru··on Facebook, Libra, and the Long Game
I have a totally out of the box thought here.

I think Libra is a distraction from Facebook for people to forget Cambridge Analytica etc. FB may have unleashed this as a weapon for people to rally up or againast and Fb doesn't care if it succeeds or fails because it is a new category and doesn't affect it's bottomline.
