Yes, that's what I meant. Haven't figured out a clever way to say Dropbox + Box, Drop/Box seems OK. I'm also led to believe they compete with email as well.

Office 365 also has the cloud sync and collaboration features that are a pre-req these days for a cloud service. Whether you use them or not is another story, but they didn't just change how they price it.

On the flip side, I believe Amazon counts their Office and Drop/Box competitors under AWS as well so it may not be as apples to oranges as first perceived.

The ultimate trade-off made between self-funding and raising outside capital is how much you can invest in growth at an accelerated rate. Unless you have a pre-existing brand you can tap into (like Kyle with her cosmetics or Clooney with hi

I have a lot of love for Sidecar. When I first moved up to SF, 'ridesharing' was truly in its infancy as Uber was still Black-car/Taxi only and Lyft was still a part of Zimride. Uber might have taken most of the market while

The good thing about competing in the enterprise is that price is just one part of the overall criteria that you are judged on. Clearly, SendGrid has some winning value proposition that resonates if they are indeed more expensive and comman

Given that he's the CEO of two reasonably large companies, I'm assuming that most of his non-private thinking time is spent in meetings, giving some form of presentation, and in email, there's no inherent need for a desktop c

On balance, it's everyone's right to be stupid and burn their money to the ground. But realistically, in the interconnected world we live in, that will often involve burning other people as well and that's not something that

All that for 7.7% of passenger traffic seems a bit wasteful given the cost of construction in the modern US. The boondoggle that is the California "High Speed" Rail multiplied by the lower 48 states a few times over does not at al

You're proving my point that it's not practical to get around a lot of the US without cars because it's just so much bigger. Most travel is within your own country and blanketing the sparsely populated US with non-car alterna

Ah, I might have been too over-reaching. I know it's certainly true in San Francisco.

New York (City) as well, IIRC. Street-side cooking is more akin to heating up already prepared food. San Francisco, too. While it seemingly defeats the purpose, the flip side of the argument is that it is easier to ensure base levels of hyg

Pre-disclosing news to publications is a standard affair in business and politics. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

iTunes had one-click to buy IIRC. Making that process as smooth as it was on Napster was a stepping stone for Apple to dominate media before they were able to launch iPhone.

It's not that the cars have one pedal, it's that you can get by with one pedal as lifting off the accelerator will induce the regenerative braking and slow the car down. On the Tesla at least this is an optional feature since it c
