The section about closed timelike curves is, I think, a good example of why computational complexity has metaphysical consequences but struggles to bridge the two - see what Aaronson writes about the "grandfather paradox".

Really interesting to realize that every day we see "on-demand" companies get funding but very little "on-demand" analytics tools to anticipate the workload. I had worked on a project for SNCF - French national railway c

One very interesting example I know is Algolia. They first applied when they were very early stage, in 2013 if I'm correct. They got rejected mainly because of their poor ability to track user metrics. Then they re-applied in 2014 and

I guess it's not only a matter of revenues. I don't think Uber really cares about divulging revenue - they've done it over the last months for some geographies to prove they're right. I think they care more about where t

That gives a market cap of $1.15bn (82,200,793 shares*$14/share). Based on public information, Twilio's revenue run rate would be around $150M, so that's x8 for Revenue and x20 for EBITDA (40% margin seems reasonable in the t

Because you have to dig a bit. I have spent quite some time in the area and all main officials are in close relations with Chinese. Take the PM, Hun Sen, who is publicly linked to the Chinese (by family)+ gave all the key oil exploration co

Given the curse of the area, I'm kind of afraid by the discovery: place got partly destroyed by the Khmer Rouges, then robbed by my fellow French and is now under tight management by the Chinese. I really hope this will benefit Cambodi

> Top universities already have plenty of brand recognition and get way more applicants than what they can accept. The monetary value of any additional marketing is probably very close to zero for them. You can apply that reasoning to an

Agree on technical questions + what he says on "team fit" really doesn't make sense: "You are NOT hiring for "team fit" I have never heard a definition of "team fit" that didn't end up sounding l
