Steve Jobs died 10 years ago today.

Here are 10 iconic quotes from the Apple cofounder. Image
On following your passion.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” Image
On finding your path.

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.” Image
On the merits of simplicity.

“Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” Image
On striving for excellence.

“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.” Image
On going for it.

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.” Image
On daring to disturb the universe.

"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it… Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.” Image
On what innovation really is.

"I’m as proud of many of the things we haven’t done as the things we have done. Innovation is saying no to a thousand things." Image
On admiring your accomplishments.

"I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next." Image
On the importance of the little things.

"Things don’t have to change the world to be important." Image
On being called crazy.

"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do." Image

A hacker poured out a Big Gulp of Twitch’s data yesterday, uploading 125 GB of stolen secrets to 4chan.

The leaked data includes... Image
1) All of the platform’s source code, including the changes made to the code dating back to Twitch’s 2011 launch.
2) The deets on a rumored competitor to Steam, a popular online game store. Apple, Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft all run lucrative gaming stores, and apparently, Amazon (which owns Twitch) is feeling FOMO.

Steve Baldwin, the controlling owner and CEO of the Washington Spirit women’s soccer team, resigned yesterday as a sexual harassment scandal deepened across the NWSL, the top women’s pro soccer league in the US.

A thread explaining what's going on. Image
Baldwin was facing pressure to step down after Spirit coach Richie Burke was fired when a @washingtonpost report revealed he verbally and emotionally abused players. Image
He was the second NWSL coach to get fired last week. The North Carolina Courage sacked Paul Riley following a report by @TheAthletic, which spoke to more than a dozen athletes who played under Riley and accused him of sexual coercion. Image

One billionaire and three normies currently have the coolest answer to, “What are you doing this week?”

A thread on the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission and why it's the most ambitious space flight to date
The details:

At 8:02pm ET tonight, the four passengers will become the first all-civilian crew to go into orbit, rising about 80 miles higher than the International Space Station at the peak of their three-day joy ride.
Why it matters:

This mission is far more technically difficult than the other billionaires’ space flights this summer because of how much higher and how much longer the trip will take.

1/ In 2010, Steve Jobs created a seemingly innocuous meeting agenda item that would set Apple on the path to becoming the most valuable company in the world.

It's #AppleEvent day so we're taking a look at how Jobs' vision became Apple's notorious "walled garden."
2/ What is a walled garden?

It's a closed ecosystem of software and hardware products that restricts access to outside applications and content.
3/ While lots of tech companies have created walled gardens with their products and services, no one has done it as successfully as Apple.

Let’s break down how that is possible.
