Meta, Google, and Microsoft all use encryption built by the same 50-person nonprofit.

Zero revenue from 2 billion users. The founder uses a fake name. And when the FBI subpoenaed them, they only provided 2 pieces of data.

Here's how a non-profit secures the internet🧵

Immediately following the initial attacks on the World Trade Center, tunnels were closed, and traffic fleeing Manhattan via bridges reached a standstill.

Many civilians, especially in those neighborhoods closest to the attacks, were desperate to escape the island but had no way to do so.

Luckily, their salvation came like lightning. A coast guard transmission went out. “All available boats,” it said. “This is the United States Coast Guard… Anyone wanting to help with the evacuation of Lower Manhattan report to Governors Island.”

Within minutes, around 150 private ships of all shapes, sizes, and purposes reported for duty and got to work. All told, these heroic captains transported around 500,000 people away from the disaster zone.

This came to be known as the 9/11 Boat Lift, which to this day, is the largest water evacuation in history.

It's funny to think the first Iron Man movie was released in 2008.

I wouldn't have bothered going to see Iron Man if Robert Downey Jr. hadn't taken the lead role.

Check out this wonderful thread below👇

When Iron Man came out in 2008, Robert Downey Jr. was *not* a marquee star.

He was rebuilding his career and paid a below market rate of $500k.

But the deal terms set him up for one of the great acting comebacks ever (while earnings $450m+ as Tony Stark).

Here’s the story 🧵

Wendy's pricing snafu is a reminder of how hard these fast food chains try to optimize menu design.

McDonald's — which sells to ~1% of the world every day — did a digital menu redesign a few years ago and it boosted sales.

Here are 6 design psychology choices it made:
