emily: why? david: it is something that is not good for venture, not good for kleiner, not good for ellen. it turned out to be something where there is a lot of drama and a lot of pain. i am not sure what good came out of it. i am hoping there will be some. there are some good lessons there about how you treat employees. maybe some lessons about document retention. maybe some thoughts about how you build your firm. john: at the meta-level, the pressure it puts on our industry is to make sure we are representative of full diversity is very good. david: until a firm votes with their feet and their wallets, they can be judged harshly. emily: part of the reason kleiner found itself in this position is venture capital firms have historically had a problem with succession. how do you make sure greylock is around for 50 years? david: greylock at 50 years could sometimes get told it is too old or stodgy. the reality is, over 50 years, you cannot continue to survive and thrive unless you make innovative c

emily: what about google? eric schmidt, chairman of google, recently said that amazon is their biggest rival in search. bill: to qualify, he made the comments during an eu antitrust meeting. there was an incentive to highlight the competition, obviously. but i think there is some truth to it in this case. the nature of search is changing. if you were to search for an item to buy from an e-commerce search on amazon, you know where the reviews are, you know the category it is in, you know how to select prime or not. you do not get those features. now, google is doing something interesting. they are taking on this endeavor called google shopping express, which i cannot make the math work. i am waiting for someone in the press to follow around one of these vehicles and add up how many stops. i don't see how it can work. emily: and they are also trying to do delivery drones as well. bill: don't get me started on drones. i think the drones and the self-driving cars are a distraction to keep the media from talking ab
