fwiw, in traditional GP/LP relationships, the LPs know what's going on with the companies (annual meeting, etc.)

haha. Well, I doubt you're an idiot. Buzzwords serve a purpose insofar as they're a good shorthand for defining categories of product offerings. E.g., ETL, Data Warehouse, Mobile Device Management, etc. all have pretty well unders

Thanks Sam. I love your posts! I think the rise in startup valuations, even at the early stage, while a bit frothy (and definitely more so in the bay area) is driven by some structural changes (i.e., the leverage allowed by the new tools wh

I'd also observe that the initial companies that took on the purely digital side of things (e.g., Second Life), might have just been too early in a world not yet as digital as it is today. That is, people didn't have enough of a d

Peter King makes my teeth hurt. I'm really shocked that guy says what he does without any irony for his obvious authoritarian overtones.

I don't think they'll highlight specific abuses, as greenwald already commented on the difficulty of that. If you point out some innocent being surveilled, you've just exposed them to the world. If you point out someone guilt
