How successful companies do ads: ONLY invest in the ad if you have at least 3X ROI to cut out all the "bullshit tiny 1% improvement" ideas, and you don't run into any problems the article mentions. eBay ran into millions of p

"The experiment continued for another eight weeks. What was the effect of pulling the ads? Almost none. For every dollar eBay spent on search advertising, they lost roughly 63 cents , according to Tadelis’s calculations." - that

Warren Buffett famously said: "When you read EBITDA, you should think BULLSHIT". The only reliable metrics are EBIT (if you precisely know the debt and tax situation of the company, which is usually laid open in the reports), and

@sifilpov: Most high-growth startups are like this, and a fair share of "growth companies". Differentiating the two is exactly the difficult part ;).

One upside of saving it as hundreds of lines: You can immediately spot if somebody is copying or stealing your logo. I think very well that that might be intentional.

That's exactly the spirit! The internet makes it so easy for "poorer" countries to level up damn quickly! Spread the word there! <3

At the same time, it will also WEED OUT a lot of crapware. Only the best and best-cared-for software will remain :D.

So Groupon's CEO mistake was that other people DISCOVERED his fraudulent activities? That's a great learning LMAO. It sounds very much he hasn't learned a thing.

I think the surprisingly simple bottom line is: Infrastructure is EXTREMELY expensive (are you willing to pay 10'000 for every ride?) and the upside NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE to gauge.

I agree with that 100%. Human procreation has massively slowed down as wealth increased. I'd love to see some startups/governments tackle this REAL challenge.

Why not compare Philippine Treasuries and US Stocks next? #1 rule in finance: use the correct benchmarks ;D

by countryqt30 7y ago
Make it even more extreme. I bet that the Treasuries would also outperform if you take 10'000 year timespan. Simply because: Which company would really survive 10'000 years, huh? So the total return would be 0. And as long as Trea

In the EU you can get credit for 1% and less at any German/UK/French/... bank. Do you really want to pay 10-30% instead at Stripe?

I'm a heavy user of Stripe with 3 businesses >50k MRR and for me charging 10% (even if it's 1 year loan), let alone a >25%+ APR is RIDICULOUS. I'd certainly never use it. I mean this as constructive feedback. I'm a

I totally fail the point of this article. Why not just say A, B, C, D, E, F as the letters that they are? Works perfectly fine. 1F is just a two-syllable word. Just like "fiftysix" is.
