[applause] ushering in the web as we know it. how does that feel? mark: it is fantastic. it is so extraordinary. we had a little bit of a glimmer that something might happen, that it might matter, that this internet thing might work out ok. and it turned out it has. emily: you have been incredibly productive since. you started a little venture capital firm, andreessen-horowitz. you have also tweeted 33,000 times. mark: in? emily: in one year. mark: thank you. emily: which is

emily: so you are way behind mark andreessen. you are not at 100 tweets a day.on: i am sort of between peter thiel and mark andreessen in my tweet volume. no, it's my one outlet that a pr team does not control for me to be able to just share my thoughts on the technology industry. emily: i guess i wonder, like, why aren't you more scared? aaron: that might be partly generational. i mean, i grew up on chat rooms. i'm sure i will say something stupid someday that i wake up to in the morning and pull a donald trump or something, and then regret tweeting for the rest of my life. emily: how much of it is strategy? aaron: it is probably less, actually, strategic than you might think. because my brain is sort of all over the place. so it is actually very representative of the random notions that i have. emily: i've had the benefit of seeing you do magic. aaron: i am less active now as a magician. emily: that's a very hard thing to learn -- aaron: yeah, some would say it's impossible. emily: what have you learned from that? or how has it affected your career? aaron: so

valley with no job, no money, no real network except that maybe you went to the same school as marc andreessenone point. why did you come here? max: so i started four companies on campus while i was at u of i. and every time we would fail, which we consistently did, the co-founding team, or parts of the co-founding team, would drop out, typically, and up and go to palo alto. it was this magical place where even though we just failed, you could go and succeed. emily: the promised land. max: it was the promised land. emily: now, this is something i didn't realize, but paypal is actually your fifth company. max: mm-hmm. emily: what happened to the first four? max: varying degrees of hope-crushing failure. the one before paypal was almost, not quite dead, but it was still kind of dead. emily: so how did paypal get started? max: it was really hot in palo alto. it gets really hot. san francisco is moderate, but palo alto gets pretty brutal. i would go to stanford and sneak into summer lectures, because they were air-conditioned. i snuck into one because i recognized the name of the guy giving the gu

the company raised $52 million led by andreessen horowitz today.his follows the initial investment of $90 million last may. steven joins us now. i cover this stuff like crazy. i have for a very long time. i have a hard time figuring out the difference between these companies. what is so unique about tanium? steve: the instant response across the network. how many devices are connected to the internet across your house? most people go, 1, 2 -- cory: a couple dozen. steven: you probably do not know the number. how fast can you figure out which ones are connected, what they are running? that is what we let you do in 15 seconds. a million different cash registers, pcs, laptops. to figure out what is going on on all of them in 15 seconds. cory: all of the information all of those ip addresses, the lights above us are ip-controlled. steven: what matters the most is getting the most up-to-date instant information. it is not a data solution. it is a communications solution. in the old world, those tools were all about a database. by the time you are done,
