At the beginning of section 6. Think Long Term, you say "shear stress", but I think the word you intended to use is "sheer".

- swolchok 17y agoIt's correct as written. See sense 9 at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/shear http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/shear -- shearing stress is the stress between two blocks pressed together along a plane and moving in opposite directions parallel to that plane. It's a very nice analogy: the startup is moving fast in one direction and the VC or whatever is moving slowly in another one.

- swolchok 17y agoIt's much harder to explain impedance concisely. I, for one, never took a circuits class, and I wouldn't expect other CS programs to require one either.
- dunstad 17y agoOkay, thanks for the clarification.
- jlees 17y agopg actually spelt it out during the talk, as well.
