Obvious and unsustainable? I find failure very inspirational. The whole point is to learn from the mistakes of others. If you won't take that bit of advice, I don't know what to say. Keep reading that Elon Musk five time champion

Now that Facebook CPMs are dropping (because major brand advertisers are pausing spend), the snake oil salesman are back. There's a hilarious Facebook ad where you can invest in a COVID-19 telemedicine startup. The doctor in her office

Maybe study interesting stories about failures instead of seeking inspirational exit homilies. 90% of them are random walk bullshit, 10% are serious and deep.

True, but everyone used "virii" on downloadable sections of hacker BBSes from the 80s/90s. It's a hard habit to break.

I agree. It just seems like basically giving out their email addresses is a bridge too far, even though it's not that hard to figure them out. What if this data was clustered not just by top industries invested in, but by thesis and et

I think this is cool. Not going to bother anyone just yet. For any VCs reading this, do you like this sort of thing or is it intrusive? Feels like your inbox would get powerbombed with shitty dealflow.

I had a weird positive experience with Google lately. An account rep messed up all my AdWords (I still call it that) campaigns and blew $900 on worthless mistargeted clicks on Christmas Eve 2018. My request for refund was denied, so I charg

How do the Reddit and Imgur apps get away with distributing porn and serving ads against it on the App Store? Maybe it was just a different time in the Tumblr era?

The whole system is rigged. It always has been. And I don't mean the last twenty years. Want to invade Germania? You better know a great banker. Want to be the first on the block to buy a couple of these new things called printing pres

Interesting that no one has mentioned the real reason. It's because you need butts in seats. In an office. A real office. Preferably within a half hour drive of Sand Hill Road or Silicon Alley. Then you have visual and social proof for

Yeah. I've taken a few breaks on RDR2 where I put the shotties away and just go fishing for a couple days. So peaceful. I haven't played in nine months, need to fire the Xbox back up again.

I think you are in the right here. If one is trolling an audience of one, it's not really the same dopamine hit as Tweeting a death threat to a Senator that thousands see. It gets boring quick. Also, troll management as a problem is so

Thank you for making a beautiful and thoughtful product in a vain and thoughtless age. They are few and far between these days. Also, .app domains rule.

Thank you Tom. Always appreciate an original WFMU link. The number of times they've had their content ripped off and repackaged..

This happens with splinter groups within record collector circles. I've seen LP collectors say "I would never go to the Allentown show, it's strictly 45s" and the 45 guys pick up a Public Enemy LP and you can kind of see

You're right. A no investment incubator would kind of suck but there are pay to play incubators?! Reverse investing? Makes no sense, but your scenario would be better than that. Nothing wrong with a Harvard scholarship.

Salesperson for commission is fine. They either work really hard for the LinkedIn credit and don't sell anything or they crush and sell and make money for you and them. I sold a $10,000 deal for a certain comedy adjacent startup becaus

It's still good but it seems more like focusing on publicly traded companies. I'm not bashing them, I just don't see the "weird Internet" or "weird startup" content anymore. But then Quibi ships and you se
