Thinking more about my own comment, perhaps researchers expecting to find more male offspring while googling find male offspring more often!

Presumably it’s this study: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Elissa_Cameron/publicat... It cited 60% male to female billionaire ratio on n of 350. But, the methodology was to use google and Wikipedia for resea

One of the best parts of Baremetrics is that it's an "Open Startup". I can't help but think that the acquisition is clearly not open if he didn't talk about it during the acquisition and doesn't name names here

The value to me is the link to the other project. Otherwise it would be like trying to read a recipe online - obligatory filler text with the value buried at the bottom.

I like when people link related projects. This is Why: I have a use case for this project but I likely won’t get to it for a year or so. When that happens I’ll come back to this thread and all the projects working on the problem will be rig

I understand the value of a locking mechanism in the JS ecosystem because 1/ many packages depend on an intricate web of other packages that overlap, 2/ many packages use semver ranges, and 3/ you don't want two version

You’re probably conflating wood furnaces with coal furnaces. Lots of people use wood stoves which are much cleaner than coal and a renewable resource. Unless you live next to a coal mine you wouldn’t even be able to purchase coal in the US.

Don’t you have to pay to use that feature as a contractor? Isn’t that an unnecessary tax?

Interesting. What about the obvious follow-up question: Why do the external creditors that lend to a pizza company via accounts receivable deserve their money back? Didn't they see the scammy nature of the operation? It’s not like supp

Is this part of the business model of these large, unprofitable VC-backed companies? Build a valuation to meet the 8.1bn threshold, then sell the shares to passive investors in S&P 500 index funds?

This is the best argument I've seen to support these price controls. They're a bad idea on their own, but as a response to another bad idea (landlord opposition to construction) they make political sense. Sometimes the system has

Saying "7% on top of that is still a quite sizable increase" is not a fact, it's an opinion. Furthermore it's like my employer telling me "you should take this 7% raise and be happy even if the market dictates a 20%

Wouldn't a solution be to have a public slack channel that your customers can join? SparkPost does this and it has been quite helpful to me as a customer, without the overhead of SparkPost having requests to join hundreds of client sla

> the company would have to go out and hire a new CEO and that new CEO would get an equity grant that would be between 2.5% and 7.5% of the Company, depending on the value of the business. If this is true, it’s much better to come in as

There is only one medicine in the past 100 years that cured a chronic illness besides penicillin and its derivatives. That medicine was developed by a small biotech company named Pharmasset and bought by Gilead. So to answer your question,

Everyone who didn't have this information and invested in the same stocks lost. EDIT: "invested" here could mean purchased the stock, held the stock, or even sold the stock without the information. Depends on the information

That is genius and exactly what real estate developers do in Philadelphia. They have one shell company for their brand and a separate shell company for each development. If they have 100 separate houses to develop, they may have 100 separat

That isn’t the alternative. That’s the status quo. Name another cure to a chronic illness that’s been developed. You can’t unless you go back to penecillin. The pharma industry makes money by not curing disease and treating the symptoms. Th

"Hedonic adjustments" sounds like a term for "the number is whatever we want it to be but we want it to sound official so people don't question it." If you mix "hedonic adjustments" into every number then

This looks suspicious. There is not a single mention of square footage in the rents document. So let's say everyone moves to a smaller house because housing costs are so high, that's not a sign of inflation?!

Could someone explain to the uninformed why operating an unauthorized experimental radio station should be illegal? The skeptic in me says it is so that the government can grant monopolies to people like Lyndon Johnson who own radio station

The gold standard gets abandoned because countries want to manipulate their currency independently of the impact of other countries' currency manipulation. This is sometimes because they want to pay for costly wars via currency manipul
