What a click-baity title. Yes, apartments are indeed expensive in San Francisco, but 2 of the 5 listings aren't even apartments: one is a mansion and the other is a 4,300+ sq ft home.

UGH, these kinds of bundles annoy me. I don't want the physical or audio book, I just want the e-book and the supplemental materials - I will never want/need the audio or physical book, and yet it increases the markup a ton. Actua

The most important thing here is to set clear expectations - particularly how much time will eat up out of your relationship and for how long. I made this mistake when I tried to build my first startup and caused my relationship at the time

Right but most restaurant-type operations do 30% food cost because the other costs are employees and real estate. Couldn't costs be driven down via crowdsourcing and no real estate?

Are people interested in a lower-cost option? I find myself making the same meals (simple salads, chicken & rice), and these do not cost a lot per meal, certainly not $12. It would be nice to order $3-5 meals of things I would normally

While the speed of change is good for these issues, could that speed be detrimental in other scenarios? For example, what if this increases the speed to reverse good policies, such as carbon emissions taxes? What if the speed of change from

I just find it a hard pill to swallow when they claim that college for the masses is a good thing when all of the research they're pointing out comes from people at Harvard, Princeton and MIT. Feels very much like an Ivory Tower view o

To think that in only 250mm years, virtually all creatures disappeared and then came back to create intelligent life. Now consider that the solar system is 4.6 billion years old, and shortly thereafter were the terrestrial planets. That mea

No mention of YCombinator at all, including their reasoning to include or not include it. Seems really strange given that I've never heard of most of these accelerators, I would have figured it was YC and TechStars at the top, followed

How do you use these things in the wild? Privacy stacks generally require that they are installed on both ends of the message. Trying to get my friends and family to exchange encrypted texts or OTR IMs is basically impossible.

The answer is (effectively) none. In other words, for a typical $15mm exit, as an employee (meaning no preferred stock, and thus subject to a 50% tax rate on exit), you need to own ~13.33% of the company (pre-dilution, and thus, pre-Series
