Good for you. Raising money for a Prof. Services business is not easy (acquisition is the more common route) but know that investment firms that consolidate similar (or complementary businesses) under one umbrella have their pros and cons.

I'm curious - given that they support hundreds of integrations across so many platforms, all with their own product roadmaps etc, how does Zapier actually develop and maintain these integrations? What happens if Google or Trello or Sal

I have some questions for you: * What do you mean by "efficient way"? Piano pedagogy is an old system that's been perfected over 200 years. What aspects of this system do you believe to be inefficient? * Are you trying to sup

Which problem exactly are you hoping will go away by eliminating copyright? There was innovation and progress before copyright and there has been innovation and progress with copyright.

* "B2B" is a catch-all term. There's indirect/MRO procurement and there's direct procurement. It's very hard to break into direct procurement without also owning the product/manufacturing. So yes, that doe

I'm a little conflicted about the authorship of "The Word". The chord progression is very Paul and the chorus is very John. > In the first three lines "word" is by far the most stressed note, and they are all the

> Too much Lennon is whiny, and too much McCartney is syrupy and cheesy. That's an overly simplistic - and I'd say wrong - characterization. On the early albums leading up to Rubber Soul, Lennon handles a larger share of lead v

I know Jefferson is complicated, but I encourage everyone to visit Monticello (his estate in Virginia) and see his library* . The man was obsessed with reading (and gardening). * On a related note, I'd also strongly encourage people

$4.7B in iPad sales. That's 4.7 BILLION. At nearly 10% of their revenues, the going-going-gone tablet category still has some legs. Who would have thunk? /edited the numbers. I had mixed up the Mac and iPad revenue figures.

I don't live in India, but that's basically what I gathered from the massive market research I conducted with a few friends :) Then again, I believe the top-end Samsung and iPhones are comparable in price here in the US?

Some anecdata based on my travels in the subcontinent in the past few years: 1. While younger consumers know about Apple (and know that it is a "superior" brand), the native Apple ecosystem has little meaning for Indian consumers.

Not a surprise, given Lennon's (and the Beatles') interest in avant-garde, musique concrete and Stockhausen.

The letters are fascinating and totally worth a read. There's one letter in which he simply says (to his brother, IIRC, and I paraphrase): "a painter must, above all, paint well". It struck me as a very Zen-like observation.
