Perhaps it's my own bias but through the lens of founding and running a SaaS business, but the website often just IS marketing, while the core offering(s) are hosted somewhere else and have their own team/owners/stakeholders.

I suppose it depends on the expertise of the the founder or CEO in question. On balance, something that takes 50% of budget absolutely should involve oversight greater than a single team or executive, but I'm not sure to what level wit

The stock has been on a tear since then, so there's that. Hard to say what all the inputs were, but it didn't hurt, at least, observationally.

I always fall back to the Dropbox show and tell post on HN and the iPod is lame slashdot meme as a point to everyone on my team because it reinforces that the building part is just one aspect of a business. I can laugh at this as agency non

Isn't that what Basecamp from 37signals is meant to be? Perhaps I'm missing something as I've only used it a bit.

The plot centers around the possibility of going bankrupt given the high amount of leverage being used on volatile mortgage securities that were starting to fail IIRC. The scheme they cook up to offload their as much of their position as po

I'm not making a statement on what the right or wrong rate is, but in the case of credit cards there's also a level of risk involved with fraud, which does scale with the size of purchase. Debit cards have less risk and thus have

For as popular as Reddit is traffic wise, it's weirdly not a big player in monetization internally or as a platform. That is, Reddit themselves aren't monetizing much compared to their traffic and peers (who are some of the bigges

It's probable that a large majority have domestic SMS for free/included-in-plan but most probably still have to pay for international SMS.

Not to be cliche but...it just works. Especially for the older generation who are used to calling people, the UX is seamless. No links to send (Zoom), no ever-changing products and menus (Google anything), and as few taps as possible/l

I've seen them integrated into POS systems and I've also paid in-store via their app once or twice (after a promotional offer). However, they also own Venmo, and Pay with Venmo to a business is something they're actively push

That's not at all what a monopoly is, just a very constrained product. Which...can describe Apple from day one. And you know what? Even if you despise Apple, you should give them credit for being relevant in even the most dominant days

You're quite right about the timing. Cybertruck is a very polarizing design while the Hummer EV looks like, well, a Hummer which does still appeal to quite a lot of people. Throw in the Rivian and now we're in a new segment. I&#x2

It's a bit unfair to ask someone to keep their mouth shut when they've received one of the most prestigious awards possible in the world. Given that, it's reasonable to assume they'll share with _someone_ during said emb

The hazard lights go on, the car will slow down, and eventually pull over to the side of the road while Autopilot is disabled for the rest of the trip. Though the "disabled for rest of the trip" bit can be trivially worked around

Despite their best efforts to do so, I would argue that most people don't know that FB owns Instagram or WhatsApp. For college-aged people, IG, TikTok, and Snap are what they live in.

It's not about shortage of tools so much as such a big market that there's always room for more. I'm not really sure where the line is these days of useful new vs developer toy but that's often the case. I think this is
