Yep. You'll find structurally similar examples from the late 19th century when England passed the torch of tech innovation to the U.S. Same goes for business history. Companies built from the ground up on the new technology tend to hav

We had these companies by '99, so assume the starting point for the ten year timeline is 1989. The 'internet' had already been opened up to certain universities/institutions in 1981 (and was in government R&D years b

This is one of those signals - among others - that China is farther along the next technology curve (whatever it will be) then the U.S. They basically skipped plastic and went straight to digital/mobile. If the next wave of startups co

I come from the non-technical side of things. Do you know of any resources that would cover this issue, but for someone on the business side? Not an engineer, so while I understand this in a general/abstract sense, my understanding is

Good point. I think both can be happening simultaneously.

I discussed this problem with a professor-friend (philosophy of science) of mine. He made two solid points: (1) The pressure and rapidity of publishing - for many authors - means less time spent on individual projects. (2) Your expectations

I like to think of the rage that social media has spawned as simply a natural result of everyone's thoughts coming on-line. When Twitter first appeared I thought it was pretty dumb. Why would I want to see a friend's comment that

The percentage of people saying blockchain doesn't have a substantial use case, is about the same percentage as there were in the late 70's or early 80's saying the internet didn't have a substantial use case. Initially,

Effectively, yes. However, assuming they implemented something with (and I can't believe I'm using this term) checks-and-balances, and also didn't give reader-investors too much voting power, then maybe it works out alright?

The tokens allow you to do more than simply pay journalists. Something to do with how the Civil constitution is applied and how new newsrooms are created. That's what I gleaned from the whitepaper. I could clearly be wrong about this.

Blendle is in Beta, which means people are just now coming up with revenue models that only charge customers for the articles they want to read, and allow them to do this across different outlets. The unique (not that this is good or useful

FWIW, I still have close to no idea what DLT/Crypto/Decentralization/etc. even is, or rather is for. Assuming the tech actually has wings we won't really understand the how and why until certain use cases come to dominat

The optimistic outlook is that 'Detroit' (Ford, GM, etc.) will either become a collection of new software companies or go extinct within ~10-20 years. That is, the first wave of autonomous vehicles (whenever that will occur) will

Thanks for the rec. Not sure the information density of books has yet reached its nadir like news articles, such that I would pay for this.

This. The explanations for journalistic practices are increasingly financial/economic.

I would pay $5-10 a month for a service that summarized articles in brief bulleted lists, and placed 'highlights' - like your block of excerpts - at the bottom.

It's a solid presentation and full of insights (per usual). There were some puzzling aspects, however, like the point about the shift to capital intensive startups. Some thoughts: (1) It isn't clear whether Evans believes the shif

Securing the ignorance of the seller is a cost issue (registering your debt buying business, purchasing licenses/certificates/etc., website, burner phones/numbers, etc.) The hard part is likely purchasing your specific debt.

I just created a gmail account you can contact me at ( anongraddebt@gmail.com ). I'll give you the syllabus, assorted materials, and a bulleted list of take-aways that I've written up for others in the past.

I took a startup course in the MBA program at one of HBS/GSB/Wharton/Kellogg that was taught by a (in my estimation) great VC. Arguably the most insightful class I've ever taken. I'll give two sets of insights: anec

It's bordering on out-of-control in some U.S. cities. About six months ago, I briefly stopped while in the middle of cleaning our apartment and realized the majority of our 'trash' was food delivery detritus. We've been

Thompson's piece is relatively sub-par compared to the typical high-quality pieces he puts out. The first part is solid, and he's one of the few people around that can provide a succinct, well-framed story around both SAP and Qual

(1) Your group number 2 describes a sizeable portion of law school graduates who actually do end up in six-figure corporate jobs, as well as a decent (though smaller) portion of medical school students. Unless, only those persons who obtain

This particular individual may have fallen prey to it. However, I think students in similar situations face something a bit more nuanced than the sunk cost fallacy. If you accept that middle-income, professional jobs are decreasing relative
