One year ago Sunday was an important anniversary. Deseret News writer Meg Walter got kicked out of Alpha Con — a business conference whose logo was the Greek lambda symbol.
The result was this story, which I think about at least once a week. I pull it up any time I need a good laugh.
That is all.

Perspective: Work is important, but it’s not family
According to a recent New York Times article, Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, uses the word “Ohana” or “family” in Hawaiian to describe his workforce. But can work be a kind of family? If you ask Naomi Schaefer Riley, the answer is “no.”
“Saying that your company is not your family is not to demean the importance of work in life … But we also must recognize that our parents and children and siblings and cousins and friends are the ones who will always be there for us,” she writes. “Companies are temporary. Family is forever.”
Across the country, state legislatures have taken Big Tech to task by passing new laws aimed at regulating issues like data privacy, children’s safety and content moderation. A new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll discovered how Utahns feel about the issues.
By the numbers:
When asked whether the government should increase or decrease its regulation of tech companies, 43% wanted to see an increase while 12% wanted to see a decrease.
61% of respondents said the federal government should be in charge of regulating tech companies.
18% believe tech should be regulated at the state level.
11% say the government shouldn’t determine the laws governing tech companies.
