I’ve always thought highly of Gary because he seems like a smart hustler. Then I read this: ”Anytime a company goes out of business, it’s because the founder and CEO was not good enough,” Mr. Vaynerchuk says. Which is so obviously wrong i

Hopefully I am not misunderstanding your comment, but for the record: Bulgaria is a small country in Eastern Europe with a population of about 7M and bordering Romania, Greece, Turkey, Serbia, Macedonia, and the Black Sea. Formed around 681

When I looked at the blockchat example, I didn't feel I have enough time to read the message. It scrolled quite fast. I rewinded only to have the same thing happen. Felt frustrating. So I thought I'd ask: is the product the .mov p

I very much appreciate the reply (only saw it now). I honestly don't know whether I or you are right or wrong. I know I am working with a limited data set (i.e. the people I have met and what I have read and absorbed online). Sounds li

To be fair and transparent, I have been completely unable to get rid of sweets - chocolates, brownies, cookies. I have made progress, but nowhere near where I need to be. Then again, life is short, we have to have our little pleasures. Nobo

I can confirm at least one part of this story with a personal anecdote: As a child, I absolutely loved, craved, was addicted to Coca Cola. A liter a day, perhaps more. Coming to the US, I noticed that it tasted different because of substitu

You are a good writer and I enjoyed reading the article. I agree with many of the other points written here such as politics being omnipresent in the corporate world. I am writing to add one point I did not see mentioned elsewhere: You are

>Today, we have 15–20 Carta Private companies in the pipeline preparing to go public in 2018. If true, this is an incredible achievement given how long they have been in the market with this product and how few companies IPO. Kudos

No sources cited. Random comments re: Nvidia and altcoins. Very poor article, if we can call it that. May I suggest this one instead https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/23/secretive-chinese-bitcoin-mi...

I actually read Seth Godin's blog: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2018/01/an-open-note... Where he basically says that Gmail's promotions folder acts essentially as a filter. I wonder if ot

Thank you for replying, I appreciate it. The way I read the response is the following: the tug of war between users who want to see / comment on this and those who are flagging the article is being won by those flagging it - and thus t

Would you mind expanding on why the article has been flagged and removed from HN? The number of comments and upvotes suggests that the community is interested in discussing, so I am trying to understand better what is and is not acceptable

Is that actually true? In my research, i found that a number of scholars (including the ones you cite) critiqued aspects of Piketty's theory, but their papers read like either additions or clarifications. Further, the results are defin

Indeed there isn't. VC returns are incredibly power law driven - i.e. they come from the 10-15 companies per year that end up being monsters. The valuation that you invested in is (almost) irrelevant - either you are part of the big success

I am potentially interested in this product, but I couldn't help but have a negative reaction to the bare bones website that is currently up. I understand that entrepreneurs need to build MVPs, etc. but a screen with two very small (i.e. un

Fravia's portal on reverse engineering used to be a great starting point. Starting with Assembly and (old) Phrack articles as others have suggested is a great idea as well.

I am a bit surprised by the negative comments in this thread. I have had the opportunity to work with Chris and he is incredibly humble and smart. Obviously he is taking a big risk with this venture but if nothing else the way he conducts h

To summarize what many others are saying in this thread, unfortunately, software is currently sold not bought. That's why everyone ends up doing all this nonsense that the author describes. I am personally in 100% agreement that it should b

What I find most impressive about Kickstarter is that they are becoming more of a marketplace with every passing day. In the beginning, it was mostly a tool to help project owners collect donations from close friends and family - and their

Thanks for the link. I don't use CM at the moment but recognize the importance of what they do and just donated. As an aside, it would be great if they keep up support for N1 :)
