The potential to turn messaging into a platform is driving much of the excitement in mobile, says a16z’s Benedict Evans. It's a platform through which other apps flow (and where all the users get aggregated).

Take for example Facebook's recent announcements, which put it right where it wants to be on the mobile phone -- in control. So what’s next in messaging? And what will Apple, Google, and other players like WeChat have to say about it?

Bitcoin has not been easy for Wall Street and other traditional financial centers to wrap their collective heads around, let alone take seriously. But that has changed recently, argue authors Michael Casey and Paul Vigna in their book The Age of Cryptocurrency -- How Bitcoin and Digital Currency are Challenging the Global Economic Order. 

The two Wall Street Journal writers join the a16z Podcast to talk about how far bitcoin has seeped into the Wall Street worldview, and more broadly, into the fabric of the global economy. Casey and Vigna describe the five "stages" of bitcoin conversion from disdain to obsession, and why, with the failings of our financial system still painfully fresh, the bitcoin blockchain could be a tool to help rebuild trust, governance, and faith in the power of currency post-recession.

a16z Podcast: The Five Stages of Bitcoin -- Disdain, Dismissal, Curiosity, Oh F**k!, and Acceptance

When (now) two-year-old startup Zenefits was banned in Utah because it offered its HR management software for free, CEO and co-founder Parker Conrad felt upset, anxious, and scared. Especially because it was a B2B company with a much smaller supporter base: "If you're Uber or Lyft, then you have this built-in constituency using the service and millions of people to complain and go to the mat for you... But man, we make HR software. That's totally unsexy. No one's even going to pay attention to this,” he says.

In this episode of the a16z Podcast, Conrad shares how Zenefits went from being banned to the state reversing the ban. As the state governor stated, "Utah is open for business... There are always going to be innovators and disruptors as technology accelerates business growth and we believe government needs to be able to work with these innovators to ensure strong and efficient economic policies and an open marketplace.” Of course, this is just the beginning...

a16z Podcast: How One Startup Went from Being Banned by Regulators to Being Open for Business

The paradox of security is we pretty much know what we are supposed to do most of the time -- but we don’t do it. If you examine all the recent high profile attacks, somebody in the organization knew something was wrong before it happened. They just didn’t have the ability to escalate the problem, or the ability to raise a flag that people took seriously.
The lack of foundational security hygiene is what makes companies vulnerable to relatively mundane attacks, which are far more likely to hit your company than some sophisticated nation-state mounted attack. “There’s this misconception that we can’t defend against these attacks because we can’t deal with the sophistication of the attackers,” says Tanium CTO Orion Hindawi. “In turns out, we should just be doing the good hygiene we’ve all been trying to do for the last 20 years.” In this segment of the a16z Podcast, Hindawi shares how to get your security hygiene right -- not just from a technical perspective, but from a cultural one as well.

a16z Podcast: Getting Security Right Isn’t as Hard as You Think (But the Effort Never Ends)

Started as the brainchild of diehard fans who wanted to engage audiences in easier, more substantial ways, Drip is a network of the world's best creators and their biggest supporters. Mainline is a free membership on Drip, which includes the monthly Mainline Podcast. Our goal is to use this medium as a platform where we can talk pointedly with some of the world's best, most inspired creators about their remarkable visions and stories. We hope the Mainline Podcast might enrich and activate our listeners, and maybe even show you something new.

For Episode 001, we spoke with Zach Tetreault, the drummer and multi-instrumentalist of Hundred Waters. Zach's band is fascinating for a number of reasons, not the least of which is their critically acclaimed second album for Skrillex's OWSLA label, The Moon Rang Like a Bell. The LA-based electronic-pop outfit is also behind a new DIY music and art event that aims to create a more boutique, personalized experience than your average big-ticket festival.

Taking place in a "micro-city" outside of Phoenix, AZ, FORM: Arcosanti will launch its second edition this Memorial Day Weekend, so we asked Zach to tell us a bit about his band and their latest project. Our conversation touches on Hundred Waters' background, how the group operates kind of like a family unit, and why that sort of close-knit community is important to what FORM: Arcosanti is all about. We also hear some fantastic music from The Moon Rang Like a Bell, reminding us exactly why Zach's band was featured on so many "Best of" lists at the close of 2014.

Tracklist:
Lushes - "Harsh" (Mainline intro theme)
Hundred Waters - "Cavity"
Hundred Waters - "Xtalk"
Hundred Waters - "Out Alee"
Hundred Waters - "Innocent"
Hundred Waters - "Murmurs"

Mainline Podcast 001: Hundred Waters

Enterprises large and small run their applications and infrastructure at a whole new level of agility and speed. But unfortunately, security doesn’t like speed. “The faster you go, the harder it is to understand what is happening and to protect your infrastructure,” says Andrew Rubin, CEO and co-founder of cloud security startup Illumio. So then how do we rethink the architecture of the past to acknowledge the way business happens today? If you want to start tackling the shifting landscape of business and security today, “Go become a student of the economics of war and crime,” suggests Gaurav Banga, CEO and co-founder of Bromium. If going slow is not an option, what can and should we do?

a16z Podcast: Barbarians at the Gate -- How to Think About Enterprise Security Today

The days of cramming security down employees’ throats or sending out best-practices advice emails are over. “You have to make security more useable,” says Pindrop CEO and co-founder Vijay Balasubramaniyan. Especially in a world of ubiquitous connected devices, from smartphones to smart thermostats. Security also has to be attractive, argues Okta CEO and co-founder Todd McKinnon. For example, if an employee uses a more sophisticated form of authentication from the road, then they should get access to a deeper, fuller set of data or applications than if they hadn’t gone through that extra layer of security.

In this segment of the a16z Podcast, Balasubramaniyan and McKinnon discuss how they approach the problem of making security something that is both powerful and easy to use. From more sophisticated voice analysis to shifting from two-factor to three-factor and beyond authentication, where can technology push security next?
