Brett, who leads First Round's platform team, was a film major at NYU... plus I have to imagine that they could outsource most of the heavy lifting to contractors to do the editing, mixing, etc.

This is a bit misleading since the Excel error in question merely overstated the magnitude of the impact of high debt, not the direction.

Isn't this very similar to the original business model for Intellectual Ventures?

Actually, thanks to modern logistics and restaurant management software, I'd posit that an average burger-flipper today is substantially more productive than the average burger-flipper was 50 years ago.

In my experience, good BD folks have to possess all of these skills / knowledge sets to one degree or another in order to be really good at what they do. However, "BD" in a role-description sense is usually limited to covering partnerships

As a New Yorker, not being able to filter out apartments with broker fees isn't a hugely compelling value proposition.

$250 in savings per quarter seems pretty generous... or I'm vastly underestimating the average per-capita consumption of Odwalla juice amongst Googlers. Even a $1/serving savings would imply an average of 250 Odwalla juices consumed per e

I think it's also very important to consider the different businesses these companies are in; some management structures naturally lend themselves to certain industries more than others. For example, something tells me that the "velvet swe

I've been following the space pretty closely and I agree that there's a ton of opportunity. I'd love to pick your brain over beers - where are you guys located?

Thanks for this, I agree with everything here but you've illustrated things in a much more detailed and articulate fashion than I could have. My family owns rental property in the city, so perhaps I can add a little more color here. The re

There's probably a lot of opportunity in simply connecting said vaults and making switching costs lower, with fewer mutants, radscorpions, and less radiation to endure between vaults.

The short answer is that it is very hard to acquire fully-automatic weapons in the US today. Aside from the fact that anything available for sale to civilians will be both prohibitively expensive (1-2 orders of magnitude more expensive t

I believe that the argument supporting lowering or eliminating minimum wages is that doing so will increase employment, not wages.

Any management consultant who thinks that "implementation is easy" is a really poor management consultant.

Stanford GSB is actually extremely competitive. Acceptance rate is about 6% (lowest in the world for MBA programs, I believe), and almost the entire applicant pool is highly qualified.

But at that point, why not just aggregate the services, in which case you've effectively become Uber?

I have no idea what the "plus plan" includes, because it's not listed on the "plans and pricing" page. This also means I have no idea what the product costs (originally or discounted).

Great idea, but desperately needs to list prices. I would also consider how to best organize & present the products on the page. Grabbing the relevant comment text might also be helpful (e.g. why was something recommended? what is it g

It's still your connection / property, so I don't see a problem with this.

I actually think it's disingenuous that they don't upfront that they're affiliated with the Obama campaign. There is a small bit of text, but it's intentionally hard to read and placed below the fold. I'm pretty confident that if you use t

1) Not sure why this is HN-worthy 2) The complaint here is absurd: "The issue is not that buildings clad in stone are morally superior to buildings clad in glass. It's that San Francisco's sense of place is tied to its earthy warmth, the ju

They don't show any photos, but I wouldn't be surprised if the batteries don't occupy the entire trunk, especially on the production model. Obviously this would also be dependent on the size of the original vehicle as well.

re: "d. One could argue the US can't afford what Norway can afford," also perhaps in the literal sense as Norway has one of the highest per-capita GDPs in the world (along with a government budget surplus instead of a deficit).

Not a bad move, but the names could be a little flashier. I'm pretty sure that "Team Member" is what a lot of fast food joints call the folks behind the counter (not that there's anything wrong with that line of work).
